Alright, who's the genius who thought it would be a good idea to work in a condemned mine?!?!

Miners got trapped in there as a result, and although most of them were rescued, there's still some trapped down there!

Why do people risk so much for gold? Why? Is greed really that prevalent in human society to the point that people's lives are in danger because of it?

I don't know, I'll be interested to hear the community's thoughts on this one

Not always greed so much as desperation. Opportunities to make money aren't always so prevalent.

I still don't get why people waste their time and money on shiny stones and metals.
We could be using those items to create wondrous machines and the like-- but instead, we wear them as fashion accessories.

I am pretty sure that there are other people that put in news besides TheGamechanger.


Nobody shall forget what happened on June 10, 2007. (By which, I mean in The Sopranos.)

Yeah, you're right, news based conversation is fucking stupid. Let's only talk about things that didn't happen.

Hell, the OP even threw out a few discussion starting questions; you act like he just dropped a link here and called it a thread. Give him a bit more credit.

Have you seen Nicaragua? It's a poor as fuck country, they have to make a living somehow.
