Mine it all very carefully with a silk touch pick and place it in a palace made of diamond and gold. Gain its trust and eventually have a relationship with it. One day, after you have kids, and it trusts you with all its heart, brutally murder all of your kids until they are but flint, and make the gravel watch. And when you have finished this task, detonate a nuke that was hidden under the palace the whole time to anialate the gravel you so loath. This will crush it emotionally as well as physically. Then go back to the mines and any other gravel that sees you will mine all the ores for you and hail you as a king they will fear you so much. When one get out of line, behead it!!!!!!!!!!
BTW. Best Thread Ever! :D
