  1. I understand your reasons... I'm not active here much anymore either, pretty much only stay to check on people's profiles, following the learned routine...

     

    I do consider you a friend, and would love to stay in touch with you. You're one of the people I'd consider ,,true" bronies, as silly as using that kind of name is. And regardless of whether you stay here or not, regardless of which identity is closer to your hearth, this quality is something that endures.
     

    Shoot me a msg either on Skype or Steam (I added you, should be ,,Nouthghule" or ,,Nouth" or something) when you feel like talking, I'll be happy if you do :)

  2. Heh, you're quite right, which is exactly why breking the Golden Standart (I have no idea how do you guys call it there - this is how we call it in Europe, it basically means that there is fixed gold:cash ratio which the bank allows you to use in both ways (u pay dollar, u get one gram o' gold, you bring one gram o' gold, you get a dollar) was one of the dumbest things American government ever made. As long as there is the golden standart, banks are trusthworthy and currency is stable and strong...

     

    Pretty much all people who know about this store their money elsewhere.

    Gold is a good way to store cash, not because it is pretty, but because it somehow has this aura of value around it - it has been accepted as a valuable thing for thousands of years, and therefore human beings sense it as one even nowadays... And therefore, it's value drops only rarely.

     

    There are other valuables ofc. But not many are as stable as gold... Buildings and land may change their price drastically (say that some kind of crysis (which can and was already once caused by banks xD) throws a load of cheap houses on the market. Your houses will drop in price drastically)...

    Funny thing, I've read somewhere that best valuable to store your cash in for case of fall of civilisation is alcohol xD It does not get bad with age, it concentrates relatively high value in small space compared to flour etc. and people will always want to escape from their problems...

     

    Glad to see somepony with economical knowledge around here.

  3. Well, I dislike the idea of getting a piercing or a tattoo - actually a lot, I do not think I will ever get a piercing or a tattoo unless forced to it by half a dozen armed ponies. I really hate that thought and would not do this to my body.

     

    But to each their own, and society stereotypes can go suck themselves - so, anybody should be able to get any piercing / whatever they want :) Only thing is that people should consider whatever do they want to risk the immature reaction of society or not.

     

    My personal idea when I see a piercing ? It usually brings rather uncomfortable thoughts of how terrible must it be to walk the world with your skin pierced, but I honestly don't care about the gender or body structure of individual wearing one.

     

    That's my two bits.
