That's right... turn it back on me. Sheesh.

In any case, I'll take that bet. I'm one of the few who thinks kids should be able to do what kids naturally do, including running around and screaming in a restaurant. The old farts who complain about kids, yeah, I'm sure they were perfect little angels when they were kids. <snort>

Perfect? NOPE! Were we allowed to run around, screaming in a restaurant? NO WAY!! We would have been bounced off the walls for an hour or so if we did. Just as our kids NEVER ran around screaming in a restaurant. They were NOT allowed to act that way in public.

We also did not take them to "adult" places until they were able to control those impulses.

Because gold can be melted and made into "coinage" or "bars" is why gold is used as currency?

Is there some reason you have to always come back with an asshat remark? Notice I didn't call you an asshat. If I said, "You're an asshat!", that would be a breach of code of conduct. So only your remark is asshat.

To answer your question, that's one reason. Also the rarity, malleability, it's pretty, and makes nice nose-rings.

It does not mold, evaporate, or wash away.

I'm a little late to this most stimulating thread, but would like to add my .00000000000000001 Troy ounce. While gold may not evaporate (Geraldo Rivera may dispute this), or wash away, it most certainly will mold! How else can you account for coins, bars, dental fillings and nose rings. Unlike Geraldo dodo, I'll acquiesce if I'm wrong. Hey, I'm malleable!

Playing the victim isn't very becoming.
