- maeon3 16y agoI had a Chinese girl lecture me on how I was taken in by propaganda by believing that the Yuan/RMB was not pegged to gold. I had proof that it was pegged to the US dollar from 3 independent reliable sources but she wouldn't believe any of it. Banning skype is simply an ineffective attempt to protect the propaganda misinformation machines in the people's republic of China.

- tubecat 16y agoMany still believe the USD is backed by gold.
