Default DIAMONDS, OLD TIMERS, OLD JUNK, ARE WORTH NOTHING AT ALL !!

images.jpg

ONLY IN OUR MINDS ARE THINGS WORTH THOUSANDS OR MILLIONS, MOSTLY USELESS THINGS IN FACT.

PAID 51 MILLION EURO'S TOTALLY FOR NOTHING AT ALL.................in fact.
The Oppenheimer blue is just a plain old rock, and even cut in the most plain old boring shape.

Diamonds in reality have in fact no value at all, it is just a rare rock, so what .
Christies is the winner again, sold to a what actually?

Sold to a true believer amongst believers.
The diamond is only worth something in our minds.

Even industrial diamonds have a far more better purpose than the Oppenheimer blue.

The Oppenheimer blue, must only look beautiful, so beautiful a diamond is, it mus glisten in light, it must be shown to others for you to be happy, because you have it, it must be worn so everybody could see, you anonymous must be very happy with such a little blue little rock.

What would it do with your heart if you could feed people with 51 million euro's in Africa where draught is . could it be just one day with 51 million euro's......feeding people?

Somewhere around the world there is an idiot with a small blue diamond in his or her hand and sucking it for fun.

Because you must have it by now, brought especially to you, and you are now jumping in joy for having it, good for you sir. Maybe you are even Saudi Arabian......Maybe, i said maybe.....Prancing around

51 Million euro's could have been spent on people...........


Gold is good, it is a very good conductor, one of the best i think.........i have no problem with gold...............

Although New Guinea keeps the prices low....

I just love to see idiots in action after 3000 years in 2016.

At least there were no true Africans amongst the buyers.............only outlanders trying to buy a very small rock, which happened to be blue....

Good for the so called intellectuals , keep INSANITY ALIVE !!!

The owner is of course anonymous .............because he or she may think , how stupid can i get, or will i be.........

And as i said before there are people that keep this 3D reality alive in our minds......

We all have internet now, and if the people of the world want to change society , they can change it within seconds, we can brake society within minutes...............we do not need violence , because that is so petty and weak......

BUT EVERYBODY ALL AT ONCE!!!

There is just some schmuck in the world who paid 51 million euro's for in fact sparkling junk.!!

His only joy was the moment when Christies said ; " Sold for 51 million euro's ".

YOU DUMB IGNORANT SCMUCK!!

In our old house my wife and I were seriously trying to decide what to do with all the stuff we had accumulated over the years, how to get rid of it. When we started getting stuff for the new house, we decided that we were only going to have exactly what we needed or really wanted. We like to have a lot of people come for a party so we have an open floor plan with a large dining room table, room for everyone to sit at. The only fly in the ointment is my daughter is moving, so we are storing a lot of her stuff in our attic.

When things belong or belonged to your family , that is another story ...........my father passed away too , but the memories with him are worth more, what is a brain for huh. Just this week i remembered how we watched Muhammed Ali together beat the crap out of George Foreman.......that was so wonderful, and other fights of course..........i am glad that ache is still present, my dad died in 2007.......he did not like Japs, made fun of black people and mocked Chinese people, but when it comes to meeting the people he was always really friendly, that is what i loved about my father he had not one crazy arrogant streak in his bones, i just do not know what it looked like with my father.........Wel i hope you get all the stuff sorted out that you have thedoc and indeed give your daughter space, or is the fly only about the stuff? My daughter is only sixteen and she still expects me to make her sanwiches in the morning

When My daughter comes over she often asks me to make her a couple of fried eggs, does she really like them better when I make them? or is she just being condescending to an old man. I know there were many years when I was condescending to her, and what she told me she was doing.

She is getting married again this Sept. and I have to say something at the reception. I can't say what I did before, and there are a few subjects that are off limits. I really need the time to figure out what I am going to say.

You just reminded me of an item that I had from my paternal grandmother, a kerosene lamp with a mantel and a hand painted shade. Now all we have is a photo that one of the children had.

Gosh! So value is sometimes determined by what people are willing to pay, rather than necessarily being about intrinsic value!

Wow! I bet no-one ever thought of that before. Thanks for posting this ground-breaking insight! We will get back to you when we are done updating all the books on economy.

Awareness, I agree with you. There is plenty of money in they world to provide everyone with enough clean water, feed everyone, give them medical care... you talk about a diamond. I often think about the money spent on sports.

Actually, it isn't another story. It's the same. You're choosing to value something based on what you deem important. Again, remember, I basically agree with you. I think it's sad that so much money is spent in ways that don't help those in need. HOWEVER - me valuing something I have that my father owned is still me putting a value on it that someone else doesn't have. We think it's stupid and incredibly selfish for someone to spend millions of dollars on a "thing"... obviously they don't.

OK. You should be intellectually honest here. Anyone with those sorts of bigoted views carries some sort of arrogance. And racism. No disrespect intended, of course. My father was a racist, too. I know you disagree, but we all are to some extent. But being "friendly" isn't mutually exclusive to arrogance, bigotry or racism. I think most people tend to be friendly. And every one of them in some way is arrogant, bigoted and racist. Me included.

I'm arrogant enough to believe I'm on solid ground to tell you everyone is arrogant. I'm right.. but still.

Money only has value because we give it value.
So someone traded nothing for nothing. Thus why are you complaining?

Giving money value i know, but we do too much of it, instead of looking what a country is worth.

I explicitly want people to know that they are first class idiots buying junk that is worth totally nothing......

It is not an old rare pirate gun, which is 8000 USA dollars worth , it is literally a piece of crap you have behind glass, which is not even worth as fire wood.
And we all uphold the fake reality of it all, indeed only in our minds collectively is it worth something......

We need a new belief where there are just no more ignorant fucks walking around

So if I buy $5 with 5 $1 bills, am I an idiot?
My guess is you will say no, because I can then sell that bill for $5 because we've decided a $5 bill is worth $5.

So if I buy a shiny stone for $500, am I an idiot?
My guess is you will say yes because I can then sell that stone for $500 because we've decided a $500 stone is worth $500.

Er wait. Somethings not right with that statement.

"The more you pay, the more it's worth"

Any monetary value you place on an item is based on how much one person is willing to pay another person for that item. Railing against that idea is pointless and stupid. One persons idea of value has no relation to another persons idea of value, and to criticize another persons idea of value is the utmost in stupidity.

My father had one idea of value which was out of sync with some others. When I lived at home he was able to acquire several old Wurlitzer Juke Boxes and my older brother stripped the works out and they burned the cases.

The hilarious thing is if you were half as smart as you think you are, you could have made this thread about the fact the Diamond market is heavily controlled and price fixed. About how DeBeers has been accused multiple times of price fixing (and paid a sizable amount of money to keep from admitting wrong doing), has a hold on the market and is known to hold back supply releasing only so many high mid and low quality diamonds each year to keep the rarity up. Last I read there were even rumors that they've stunted the growth of the artificial diamond market to prevent it from cutting into their mining market, as well as funneling blood diamonds to reputable mines to launder them. How the diamond market is extremely secretive, with companies selling their best to jewelers in extremely secretive no-name, cash only meetings in internationally neutral hotels.

But no, instead you're here just to call people idiots.

How could you think that i would think that i was smart Ari , that is weird ?


How much a diamond is worth is in reality nothing for man, you wear it and that is it...... Even industrial diamonds are worth more as cutting tools....

Only in our minds is it worth something.

Our mesjogge belief is showing our wealth, at least for some.....

And in fact i ONLY kneel and bow real deep to the person whom has goodness in their heart....... and if not you are a nobody or even worse.....

Diamonds are rare well so what ! Gold , now that is a good conductor

Man should be a woman's best friend

Were not the Cromagnons of the past any more , we do not need to drool over shiny smooth colourfull and sparkling things any more. but our brain won't just evolve........

You know how stupid you look with diamonds on, you know that do you not?

A five dollar bill is worth totally nothing at all, it is just a worthless piece of paper.......Ari. There are not facts here , and all you have to do is believe...

Yes you are an idiot. that so called stone will be worth much much lesser when it is in your hands.....

And yet again it is in reality not worth a damn thing in real life

When people write such very intricate and educated words explained in a very most elaborate way, and yet nothing has been said that is what i call wanting to show yourself as an intellectual, instead of wanting to only influence people in a very small way like a grain of sand of the beaches of for example New Guinea

Have you looked at the world lately, it looks like finally retarded people have finally somehow someway have made their mark these days.......

WE ARE SO DAMN IGNORANT ARI !!!

If you want us to believe, you have to choose the correct font, size, and color. Because that is how best to influence us.

I want? That is what you are doing with junk, believing.

How about knowing a little for the first time in your life.......
