Should all money be banned completely?

My post/like ratio is better than yours.

Man, you're going low there.

But, have you got one like in this entire thread?

I knew it was going to be an unpopular subject. People don't like change. They've been taught all their lives that money is good and money is the only way.

All money is debt. Debt is not good. Therefore it is not a good system.

It is the only way.

 

[Andy]

It is the only way.

The only way that you personally can fathom because your perception is limited by what you have been led to believe. Everyone has always told you that money is the only way so you believe it.

It is the only way.

What if I told you that I’d give you 20 Chunky soups for the utilization of your skill set? Surely that would change your mind.

Central banking 101: First we'll persuade them that paper has value, then we'll convince them that there's not enough paper. They'll forget the real meaning of life and work as slaves -- for paper --- always in debt from cradle to grave. brilliant!​

They want you enslaved. That won't work.

You work all week and give the government how much in taxes?

How free are you in the current system? You can't stop using debt based currency apparently.....so not very free at all.

America. Land of the free to do what we tell you.

I have destroyed every argument you guys have tried to use actually.

I dont think destroyed means what you think it means..

If a woman offered you sexual favors in exchange for fixing her leaking taps what would you say?

So what you are saying is women should become prostitutes to survive?

You made exactly 0 (zero) arguments for your barter system.

No, I have a brain like nearly everyone replying to this thread.

You aren't as intelligent as me actually. I doubt anyone on this whole site is.

Read the title.

I'm not going to repeat myself.

Can a mod please answer this? Why are scat lovers being discriminated against?

Fascism is NOT cool.

Yeah you sure sound intelligent... Dumb troll.

That's not serious.

This is.

Money is just a way to convey exchange rates between various resources / services. It has no value on itself, it is merely a representation of resources an individual has.

A house is worth X and land area it is located in is worth Y amount of money.
A meal at a restaurant is worth Z amount of money.
Working at a certain jobs gets you Q amount of money per hour.

How is scientific research going to be done then? How is the military going to acquire arsenals? What's the military going to do... give someone some carrots for building a tank?

 

[milenss]

Right but if you can keep alternating what that something is, that has to be better than just using money all the time. Having ten ways to acquire the items you need is better than just having one way.

You are contradicting yourself.
Nobody bans you to trade natural goods.
You can still go to your neighboor and exhange eggs for milk.
If he wants to as well.

Money is just the value of an item in physical form.

The real evil is inflation upon desperation and competition.

That is proof that the barter system works

It works. It always worked. So it's completely useless (and idiotic I must say) to ban cash.

I've decided that I'm not going to reply to you any more until your post/like ratio improves.
