Gold! The History of Man's Greatest Obsession 1

[shinomustdie]

Weed is a waaaaay better currency than gold

[vincentyeo88]

@shinomustdie

are you stoned? now give me your gold, if you have any to spare.

[smash0]

how the fuck did this pop up, i was watchin weed videos while bein stoned and all of a sudden i'm watchin this... XD

[vincentyeo88]

@smash0

that shows you're too young to own any gold for now. if you're going through life being stoned, then you're wasting away your life.

never do weed anymore and save your money to buy gold when its price crashes some day.

[smash0]

@vincentyeo88 oh yeah, like weed money is enough to buy gold XD

[vincentyeo88]

@smash0

oh yeah, like having your patience to save your money year after year until you're old enough to buy gold.

you know, doing weed will age you faster.

[smash0]

@vincentyeo88 no, it doesn't age u faster and that wouldn't even bother me cuz i look younger than i am anyway and i really don't care for buying gold...

[yay78900]

@smash0 awesome, history is way more fascinating than weed videos. this is a great thing to watch when your are stoned. getting stoned is great for learning, creating, contemplating theoretical physics, doing yard work, or mountain biking in the woods, etc... i say there is nothing wrong with being stoned as long as you are doing something positive

[TheDaniiboy]

hmm colombus wasnt the first to discovery america it was the Norwegian and danish viking who did.

[vincentyeo88]

@TheDaniiboy

right, history of America has to be revised.

[kdum8]

@TheDaniiboy no one in Europe discovered it, there were people living there already!

[TheDaniiboy]

@kdum8 u know what i mean , europeans to discover america :)

[kdum8]

@TheDaniiboy Sure I new you meant that, ;) No one really knows the history for sure... however it seems likely that Vikings certainly landed briefly in North America much before Columbus and traded some goods and services. However, Columbus is significant because his journey saw the beginning of the conquest and real large-scale movements of Europeans to the new world. The Vikings never really stayed. So whoever really found it first, it was his journey that was significant

[kdum8]

@kdum8 "new" = "knew". Youtube really needs an edit function...

[TheDaniiboy]

@kdum8 the viking stayed there and lived there some some centuries but they got in trouble with the natives and since it was like 1000 to 1 the viking lost and the survivers sail til europe again

[flyboyy77]

@TheDaniiboy You can't discover nothing if people are already there

[chunkmanshaun]

Oil > gold

[vincentyeo88]

@chunkmanshaun

Oil > gold > money

[vanityrose12]

@vincentyeo88

oil > silver > gold > cash

[TUPAC1968]

listen,how many colonies does brown or black people had,have or will have in the future.if any of you can answer that then we can talk

[chrisandwhitechapel]

wait im confused how did they get footage of them sailing, cameras didn't exists back then

[vincentyeo88]

@chrisandwhitechapel

you are learning history by watching a video movie and not by reading a tattered and torn Latin book in the Vatican.

[chrisandwhitechapel]

@vincentyeo88 Lol isn't that where they keep all there documents without letting anyone see lol.

[vincentyeo88]

@chrisandwhitechapel

LMAO. right on, you're absolutely correct!

however, those big shot priests are allowed to read those documents.

[chrisandwhitechapel]

@vincentyeo88 fucken bastards lol they probably make up shit to make their religion look good sorry lol my opinion

[aim4thethroat]

@chrisandwhitechapel r u 4 fucn real

[chrisandwhitechapel]

@aim4thethroat naw lol i was bored xD

[aim4thethroat]

@chrisandwhitechapel kool

[vladbcom]

as usual church and faith at the root of evil. Enslaved thousands poor natives to hoard their gold for various religious emblems, Jesuses, and other silly figurines.

[guillemg17]

Columbus (Colom) spoke catalan, italian, french and a little spanish, too.

[itsyoujitsu]

columbus spoke english?

[chiragkotak]

i think mans greatest obsession today is Oil .

[crywolfish]

it's fascinating how that the white man has no other legacy in the world other than destruction

[Gary500]

@crywolfish i was going to say the same thing, if only my thumbs up button was working my friend

[1426305384950384]

@crywolfish Indeed white man has a legacy of destruction but what race does not. It is simply human nature.

I dislike your comments attempts to dump it on white men alone.

The human race legacy (our legacy) is nothing but destruction. Destruction of each other, different species and even our own world.

It is a rather pessimistic view but is a truth we are now striving to change.

lets hope we can.

[RuFFRyDas87]

@crywolfish How about almost every invention you can think of?

[TheWhiskeyfirst]

@crywolfish lol

Idiot.

[kdum8]

@crywolfish nothing to do with race my friend, just humanity

[trickdaddyaz03]

@crywolfish I dont believe that we can blame the white man. I believe greed is inherent in all of us. If you look at history it so happened that caucasians in europe since about the 1400's faced overpopulation which was unsustainable given technology at the time. War was inevitable. Where one country flourished another was taken advantage of, and back and forth they went.

[trickdaddyaz03]

@crywolfish Military development in these times of overpopulation flourished more than any other race in the world why? because war was practiced in the European region and at the height of military innovations in came gun powder through eastern Europe. Indians in the Americas never faced overpopulation because there was so much land. Archaeology shows that American and South American Indians were intelligent. So in my opinion, historically, they never had a chance, they never had to push.

[trickdaddyaz03]

@crywolfish People complain about the way native Americans were treated in America during American expansion. I argue that had Native Americans fought each other for land that one tribe over the other would not have been so lenient and history has proven destruction among Indians from the north and south. Thus supporting my argument that humans are inherently greedy not limited to race.

[HaBenOni]

@crywolfish Not true, it is greed that's the main problem not only with 'white people' but with everyone, you're comment is pretty racist, you are generalizing the whole white race as enslaving people...So did the egyptians, the greeks, the romans, the early middle eastern civilisations, even the chinese...The white man has not been destroying things since their existence...think about all the innovations made by white people, the problem is greediness and selfishness, your comment is racist.

[gu151]

@crywolfish Yeah, I mean, walking on the moon, inventing the automobile, airplane, light bulb, telephone, telescope, x-ray imaging, MICROWAVE OVEN, COMMUNICATIONS SATELLITE , LED, computer, GPS, Discovery of DNA... my fingers are becoming tired but the list goes on about 5 thousand more pages. Edison, Darwin, Einstein, Newton etc etc endless list. The white legacy is destruction.

[TWSceptic]

@crywolfish And what are you talking about "no other legacy". Why don't you just shut the fuck up nothing but nonsense out of your mouth.

[thunderscratch66]

jesus for a minute i thought the guys name was bizzarro! :)

[vincentyeo88]

@thunderscratch66

Pizarro.

[Applebaum]

evil things europeans (whites) have done comes frm fear

many whites fear being made extinct & their actions r based on both subliminal&conscious decisions tht r derived from tht fear.

So they steal black/brown peoples

countries, gold, Mass murder them

enslave, rape &sell them

erase culture/names/religions/langua­ges

brainwashing non-whites in2 believing they r not as beautiful/intelligent/great etc as white often promote themselves 2b via the media

all based on a white fear of being wiped out

[Applebaum]

how can u discover country that already has people living there?

thats like me visiting ur house & me stamping flag in your living room & saying I now declare this mine...& whilst your at it ur going 2b my slave, i'm going to dehumanise u, erase your culture, make u follow my religion, steal ur gold, change ur name, soddomise u &murder u & everyone u know

god they sooo rancidly Evil white people need to know what there people have done, and stop only focusing on the parts of history they like

[2Roo7ted]

@Applebaum You're not trying to be racist are you, being a racist is being naughty. He who has the biggest gun and a heart fueled by ambition and greed, can do what he wants. It is the tale of civilisation, and the devil himself, empirism. If the boot was on the other foot you would had done the same to them. Btw, think yourself lucky, you're not a white country, it was the church that invadered you, not the white man.

[Applebaum]

@2Roo7ted

Pt 1:

I take it ur white then, 'it was the church that invadered you, not the white man' lol whatever turns u on.

Q. What is Racism?

U shud question why u felt the need to ask me 'You're not trying to be racist are u?'

All these atrocities Colonialising/Enslaving Blacks/Institutional racism, happen/ed, perpetrated by whites, non-whites r told2 forget/pretend that whites didnt do it? and your wondering whether I'm racist or not? lol

ur denial whiffs of white guilt?

[2Roo7ted]

@Applebaum To start with, with your hatred towards whites I thought you were a decendent of the incas, but I was wrong. I am Aboriginal, this land was conquered by whites, so i know how lucky they are.

What is racism, discrimination against a person due to an act of God. The gentic make up is an act of God. The colour of a man's spirit is an act of Man, that deep burning anger for what the whites done in the pass, was created by the son of man, created inside you.

[Applebaum]

@2Roo7ted

Pt 2:

ur denial whiffs of white guilt,

this is y u have a fetish for boots being on others feet.

whites did it&used religion to justify it, accept it.

More films about Colonialisation/Slavery/ Land stealing/&the intricacies of the systematical brainwashing of nonwhites frm a non-white perspective r needed.

Whites teach history as if it were a compilations of the best bits & warp things to make them look virtuous like Columbus discovering something that was already there, bollocks

[2Roo7ted]

@Applebaum I don't really understand what you are saying in part 2, my guess it is something to do with propaganda bullshit justifling the rightousness of their behavour. Are you talking about propaganda shit like British Empire, or the hollywood crap from America? Or maybe you'll think india's, nigerian, chinese, film industry will be more objective, it is all the same, how good we are and how evil they are.

[Applebaum]

@2Roo7ted

I know what Racism is do you?

I live in and come from England

why should I think myself lucky...you said

'Btw, think yourself lucky, you're not a white country' explain

[2Roo7ted]

@Applebaum I'm sure glad you know what racism is, like a true english man, the world is divided between black and white, the two purebreds. I live in Australia, unlike you I do not have the luxuary of being born a purebred, I'm what they call a half cast or mongrol bred, the sucker in the middle shunned by the pure breds, for no other reason than an act of God. What crucifies me, the act of man, self inflated importance pure bred create within themselves

[2Roo7ted]

@Applebaum So don't shit in my ear and call it intelligence, the most racist creatures are the pure breds, chinese, indian, africans, whites, greeks, Italians, jews, mexicans, arabs, japs, all inflatuated by the pureness in their breeding. It is pure breds that create racism, they are the ones building these unbridgable gaps, in order to perserve their pure blood. they are like you, divides man by the colour of his skin, and not by the colour of his spirit.

[2Roo7ted]

@Applebaum If you want an arguement on racism I'll give it to you. You live in England, with such wuv for whites, you can only be a purebred black. I'm just wondering where you migrated from. Like all immigrates you migrate for a better life, if your dick stayed where it belonged, you're life whould not be so great. .

[2Roo7ted]

@Applebaum At least the whites are trying to make up for the crimes of their forefathers, by offering you a share of what they have, but you can't forgive them what their forefathers had done in the name of the empire. Look at the cities, see how the purebreds had divided the city, ensuring racism will always be an issue. I call them the inlaws, for they'd brought their culture and religion with them, living the lifestyle they would back home if the could afford it.

[2Roo7ted]

@Applebaum That is what creating all the shit, a flock of locust feeding upon greener pasture. With them they bring their cultural hatred, ensuring there will never be any peace. Their cultural hatred is the son of man, created by man and injected into the womb, so the pain lives on long after the hurt had gone, like the pain in you lives on, even though those who caused the hurt had died a long time ago.

[2Roo7ted]

@Applebaum You have been inpregnated by man, and that is what created this barrier between you and the whites, and what divides England, imported culture. It is this imported culture and it inability to simulate that is fueling this anti immigration, some are like you, they see their colour as their identity, most are not, they see thier culture as the threat, and not their colour, but they are sprayed racist by these cultures, cultures like yours.

[2Roo7ted]

@Applebaum creatures that will only fuck themselves to ensure their purity lives on, creatures that has firmly entrenched racism in to society. funny part is, most of it has got nothing to do with the colour of their skin, it has to do with their religion and culture, artifical races created by man, and they classified it as racism, even though God had nothing to do with its creation. I'm sure gald you know what racism is.

[welshhibby]

using religion to steal gold...nothing has changed..people still do bad things in the names of their gods.

[pimporro]

Then it was gold, today it is oil.

[mexiluvsw]

very interesting. so was it the same situation for the natives in mexico?

[MrGriegos]

This video is interesting but it misleads people to believe that the Portuguese already held claim of the Antilles (then identified by Columbus as the Indies). The Portuguese did have rights in the real Indies, but the Papal Bull established portions of Western Africa to the Portuguese and the trade route to the Antilles (and the Antilles themselves) to Spain.

Mama Mia Admiral! You must be turning in your grave.

[spankybighead]

Well if they're not paying attention. They should be able to realize that it was Columbus' mistake that he was not in the Indies but the Antilles in which the Portuguese had no claim. If Columbus realized it himself then we could imagine that Brazil never would have went to the Portuguese at all.

[MrGriegos]

Hi Spanky,

Yes, and that is another problem :(

If Columbus believed that these lands were the Indies (which already had claims by the Portuguese), then was Spain challenging those claims? Or was it a claim on the trade route?

And thank goodness for Brazil going to the Portuguese! Rio De Janeiro's festivals would never be the same, and we would most likely not have the Brazilian thong! :)

lol

Peace.

[DouglasEdward84]

I think that one of the commentators was referring to the abundace of silver that the Spanish brought back to the Old World which did indeed cause inflation due to the excess of cheap wealth, much of the Spanish treasure was also wasted on disastrous wars. The gold brought back was never as serious an issue

[arifkarim]

gold is never devalued because every shit human never gives it out!

[vincentyeo88]

you're quite right but in some cultures, people make gifts of gold to wedding couples. besides, you can't keep gold with you forever.

[scouser96100]

@arifkarim your a discrace if you call humanity shit

[kingskins0]

@scouser96100 are you ignorant or just don't know your history? humanity is an evil horrible race that has commited so many crimes / murders. we are savages compared to other civilisations

[scouser96100]

@kingskins0 JESUS you NEGATIVE FUCK ! i know human kind has done bad things but not all people are bad its just that the bad guys always get the top spot in history.

[MrDiablopoint]

@arifkarim lol

[tjhuang]

If Pizarro found the kingdom of gold, he would've just devalued gold that way. But I guess I can't rationalize with an obsessed man.

[EUsuperstate]

There isn't that much gold anywhere at a single spot at a single time to devalue gold. The gold that the Spaniards got from the Americas was wasted easy and fast, most in wars and social creativity . Also only about 1/5 of the gold went to the kings, the rest stayed in private hands.

[EUsuperstate]

And to call Pizarro obsessed is a little hypocritical, if you'd see as much gold as he and his men did, you would go insane, so much gold to so few is something that would drive anybody mad for more and more gold. It wasn't just Spaniards that were obsessed with gold and conquest, others tried it in Europe like the English and Portuguese but they weren't nearly as successful as the Spaniards were, lucky Conquistadores...

[thoughtbell]

Sorry. I was being judgemental.

[vincentyeo88]

no problem about that.

btw, i certainly appreciate anyone who makes the effort to write good English.

[thoughtbell]

Why is it that people who comment on videos are unable to spell or write in complete sentences?

[vincentyeo88]

urr...i guess it's up to that individual, as long as the comment doesn't have any abusive word. i may delete it if it's too gibberish though.

broken English and native slang is quite okay, and i will try to figure them out. it isn't a rule here that everyone ought to write perfect English.

we ain't doing this kind of video stuff in college to earn credit hours, you know.

[sacopenapa]

The spanish and the portuguese destroyed three civilisation, enslaved indians and africans, murdered entired communities with the help of England. There is nothing to be proud about them! Murderes!

[Shaerine]

oh, this is precious - the ignorant pope dividing his flat world.

[jimmyjmv]

It is said that the Pope is who represents Jesus in the earth, isn't it? ha, ha, ha if it was so, I wouldn't like to be a Christian. Inca's Empire and their people was wiser and more pacific than Spanish, absolutely.

[Shaerine]

hmmm. "natives" heh

[FORMER0203USMC]

the blacksmiths only heated up the metals to pound it with a hammer. they didnt melt it.

they didnt have propane gas, they didnt have nothing. i think im being had here.

yes gold is soft but they couldnt melt it

[FORMER0203USMC]

how did they melt the gold? they didnt have the heat to melt it. a campfire does not reach 500 degrees

im a non believer

[vincentyeo88]

if those blacksmiths in those olden days could forge steel armor and swords, they could melt gold ornaments and cast ingots.

[Sergionewyork]

hahaha people of the americas had been working with metals long long time ago.... hello?

[gamf12]

money ( gold) always and forever will be the disaster of this planet. Just look around, the black gold (oil)

[brickell4brickell4]

shut up
