This is like the time I cracked a joke abut muslims going whacko because of pictures(while christians don't), and you stormed in screaming about how I was parroting 3rd century anti-christian propaganda...(or something)

Re: Ron Paul's Farewell Speech to Congress: The End of a Cult Figure
Actually Tiaexz the translation is literally: Each is a Barbarian to another. A small difference but an important one.
On topic: the value of money is entirely arbitrary - if you artificially attach it to the value of something else, ie: gold, the value of which is entirely arbitrary, it does not make a difference.
Value is caused by demand: it is entirely subjective. All that 'fixing' value does is persuade society writ large that that value is underwritten, in some quantity of another item which has no fixed value...
Economic theory is fundamentally confusing and counterintuitive - people generally don't question it until the theory fails though...

Nihil nobis metuendum est, praeter metum ipsum. - Caesar
We have not to fear anything, except fear itself.
Ibant obscuri sola sub nocte per umbram
perque domos Ditis vacuas et inania regna:
quale per incertam lunam sub luce maligna
est iter in silvis, ubi caelum condidit umbra
Iuppiter, et rebus nox abstulit atra colorem. - Vergil

Oh Come on I get an edit but Strike's swearing doesn't?
My thanks to Curio, but in fact the original meaning is, "Everyone is a Barbarian to Someone" which is actually about respecting other people's perspectives and not just dismissing them as hairy apes.

It was a simple edit, so others could enjoy the statement. The problem with other languages including Latin is that not that many understand it.

Re: Ron Paul's Farewell Speech to Congress: The End of a Cult Figure
If you wanted the translation it would have been better if you had simply asked - as it is you got it wrong twice.
The only correct translation is "Everyone is a Barbarian to Someone" because it was English rendered into Latin, not vice versa. It was originated by the EB team, specifically one of our Linguists.
