Never owned a suit let alone had one dry cleaned.

Trained to be a chef.

Haven't bought a newspaper or sit and watched the news for at least 15 years..

Soo...it seems your attack on me is very misguided.

So, what's the option instead of money?

How will you pay for the device and data needed to post such deeply thought provoking posts on ATS?

Wow, a clever and thought provoking response
Touché sir Chef!

My doctor at the VA told me I had high cholesterol

Long story short, they said no red meat
I don't take their pills
I cook my steaks till brown

Wish in one hand and...

Just trying to add my 15 pieces of flair

And nothing personal; lo siento mi amigo
Happy 4th

I'd rather be a slave to money, and being able to use it for things I want and need than deal with the alternative which I assume is bartering?

Seems many here like to say that money is evil but can never really offer a viable alternative... so much so that they continue using money as well..

How do you barter potatos for brain surgery?

You might be blind to the answer my long time member.
But I believe that we don't need to barter or buy or sell or get paid.
Society and civilization can run fine without any of that.
If every thing is free I believe that is the key to absolute freedom.
You need something you go to the store and get it. Your a human
being and you contribute to society that alone pays for it. You
and every human on this earth deserves a roof over their head
with plumming. Your contribution to humanity deserves you
one without payment. Very simple explanation. You want
other things like a Ferrari put in some over time or make an
outstanding contribution and you're human. Entitlement!

Do you actually believe this would work?

I don't.

At no point in modern human history has such a thing worked.

The majority of us couldn't make a table let alone a house, so how are billions of people going to actually survive?

There would be no Ferraris either, because there would be no need, nor incentive to build them.

We'd all have to ride horses, because who is going to build cars and trucks only for them to be given away for free?

Sounds like a very selfish and small minded society with a life expectancy of about 40 years to me.

Evil can come out of the love for it or the lack of it, if anyone got any better ideas of making people who don't like each other out up with each other, or a way to exchange gold for gold, and fur for fur, well let hear it?

Don't get me wrong though, I do agree the amount trouble money can cause and the proposed promises, but even lumbering dimwits ehom have no respect for themselves or others respect the dollar.

Just it become too much of an imitation of nature, and physics. Laws of conservation an what not.
Mo money no problems.

What money does do, is keep a lot of people alive that wouldn't survive a week if they had to rely on skills or abilities..

Damn right! Show me in human history where it has been tried?

Do you think you have to make a table? And by the way,
I could make you one.

The same people who do it now.

Really? That's odd I see exactly the oposite minus all the corruption, greed and
starvation and drugs, gun run'n and murder for hire and prostitution and Gawd
damn war

And you haven't shown me at all a single fallacy.

It damn well would work because we don't need this evil system.

Hell you don't even need a table.

And the worlds population would drop to a handful of tribes scattered about.

Good for eugenics I spose.

Open your eyes to what is eliminated when you just delete any form
of a monatary system.

Is that what you think would happen? Or is that what they want you to think would happen?

Is that really where your head is at? Cmon!

As long as you play ball, your system floats

It can go both ways, money all about the exchange of energy or time, and is better for organizational reasons.

In the end, it is futile to resist for the same result will happen with or without such a nessecary evil to hold back an even greater one? People do what they want with there money, rich or Poor, it just the rich have much more options, but a new Ferrari only temporary.

Btw Evil at it core...it all about trying to live life. Wether to it fullest with what ever sad boat, or literally trying to live.

I'm trying to be Evil here, like the first sin.

Wo there Bernie

Why is most of "American gov" 50+?
What is the average age of both houses?

Limit terms need we

money allows us to not be so dependent on the goodwill and social approval of others.

In essence

money is mana

and a wizard can't cast no spells without mana.
