Such as?
Did Ra say that Venus had no currency? I don't remember that part. Which alien civilization exists without a form of currency?
Charity and currency exist at the same time. One does not preclude the other. In fact, the existence of currency makes charity more effective.
Quote:i still see that you have neither read the thread i referred you properly, or, watched the zeitgeist movie. but instead, came up with 'bob the barber' and joe the hairdresser and larry the lazy and whatnot.
excuse me, but your approach comes off as something that is out of right wing bias. especially, your lack of proper consideration for the others' arguments, judging by the very short duration in which you have supposedly read the thread i linked, and have found the time to disagree with all of them in a flash.
not to mention that, you are STILL discussing that taking something in return of something you are giving out, is positive. you havent, apparently, even pondered on what 51% positive, or 99% negative, means, in reality.
Are you ever going to stop judging me?
I watched Zeitgeist years ago. It's an amateur understanding of the issue. Before I watched Zeitgeist I received an education on the evils of a privately supplied fiat currency from economists.
A privately issued government enforced fiat currency is very bad. That's what we have today.
On the other hand, a publicly issued and publicly backed currency is a great idea. It leads to prosperity. The original greenback was this.
Private currencies are ok as long as they are voluntary and not the only option. Putting the money supply in the hands of the Fed is the dumbest idea ever.
I have read the thread and you just repeat yourself. You seem to think that just stating an argument makes it final because your logic is perfect or something. It's not. The Questioner brought up all of my objections and I agree with him.
I read your posts and I'm not convinced. I see countless flaws in your logic and outright factual errors. This is why I don't agree with you.
The problem with society is not money. The problem is poverty. How should humans solve poverty? Easy. Just give money to the poor. Why don't more humans do this? Because lots of humans are greedy hoarders who don't care about their fellow man. This is not money's fault though, this is the fault of greedy people.
