The Richard Dawkins forum is nothing compared to the folks over JREF.org. The more belligerent and self-righteous statists can be found over there and yonder.
Scroll down to leftysergeant and Toke for gold.
nirgrahamUK:go on freiheit, now is your chance to admit you were wrong !
Hey that's not fair!
At most, 5% of the population would need to stop complying to bring down the government.

These forums, and the other one at the beginning of this thread make me lose all faith in humanity. Every single day I think to myself, "Wow, people are stupid" but I always feel there has to be a limit somewhere. Just tumbling further down the black hole of ignorance....

dudalb: Gold Buggism and Anti Federal reserve crap are much more common then this Anti Fractional Banking nonsense. What is ironic is that most of the people who support this crap theory would say they are strong supporters of Capitalism and a Free Market, while they want to abolish one of the very institutions that makes a modern Free Market possible:the ability of banks to loan money to people to start and expand businesses.

They sure know how to market a site dedicated to James Randi. I don't know why it's so hard for some to research terms they misuse; such as free market, selfishness (in relation to Ayn Rand discussions), or ethics.

I dated a communist girl who wrote a long letter to her landlord explaining that, since his property was paid for (no mortgage) that any rent he charged her was theft.
I didn't date her long enough to find out if he kicked her out over it.

Now why did you have go and quote this? I think my IQ dropped 10 points just from reading it!
The depressing thing here is that to correct their views you'd have to start at the most basic, fundamental level for them to have a chance of understanding how wrong this statement is--assuming they even want to listen--who has that kind of time? I mean, they don't even understand what "free market" means and that the Fed isn't a free market institution. Is there any hope for someone like this?

This is hardcore boot camp training soldier! Nonetheless, I've just finished reading Meltdown, and am going to have to take a cold shower after reading what I've quoted.
