The BEST debate moment ever...(here)
Two questions...
(Number 1) Who do you think won this part of this debate?
(Number 2) What's your stance on the “War in Iraq?"

Ok, so here it goes...the debate/argument last Thursday night, on money, or rather the USD (United States Dollar) ...yes very interesting. Several of you (everyone but me) said, in effect, that the dollar is worth nothing, but its weight in paper. Because it has been taken off the “Gold Standard” (correct me if I'm wrong). As my usual custom, I took the opposite position, that being, the dollar (like any other physical thing) is ONLY worth what you can buy/trade with it. Thats how the analogy of the cup came about. I said that if you won't sell me the cup for a dollar (or some amount of them) then it (the dollar) is worth nothing, even if backed by the“Gold Standard”. BUT if you sell the cup to me for a dollar then it becomes worth something!
My question to you is, how then can you say that the dollar it worth nothing?
Sorry I have to put this in, for those of you who like to mess with “hypothetically” or “possibly”, we are talking about now, not in a hundred years when you can't buy a cup with a dollar (possibly).
BTW the full Bible verse is 1 Timothy 6:10.
