Geez, I could say a lot more on this topic,... but I think I will keep my mouth shut... It does surprise me, though, how little the general public seems to understand how corporations work, or even basic economics. No wonder we have such a big debt problem, both with governments and individuals...

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

Here is what Mr Corporate Gamble thinks.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEV5AFFcZ-s

Good to see that this thread has actually staid civilized (mostly)

I love you all people.

As much as I love following your thinking processes.

Few things i hate are:
- Money (Makes us slaves imo)
- War: makes us suffer, and makes corporations super rich. USA is always in war (peace keeping lol), think why?

- Banksters: Makes us poor, making money out of thin air, landing money that they dont own/have, Landing 100 times more than they print and collect interest 100 times on every dollar, keep us in slavery. 'Leverage' is when say you deposit $1000 in your account and bank say that they have 100.000.00 Land it to a 100 people and collect interest 100 times over on the money they never had.

-TV and all corporate "media" brainwashing machine.


English is not my first language so please let me apologise for not expressing my points of view clearly.

Money is a way that allows us to exchange for goods and services and it replaced the bartering system. Without money, it would be very difficult to get anything including essentials.

Banks and other financial intermediaries allow people with surplus and deficits to connect. Without having any financial systems many of is would not have been able to purchase a home or home etc... It is also a place to store your financial holdings rather than hiding it in your mattress etc...

I'm not certain where you are going with this and I do not understand your political beliefs at this time but without money and financial intermediaries how will the world operate? Perhaps you. An enlighten us with your thoughts and ideas of how societies would operate in your "perfect world"? From this we may then understand you better.

At least we agree to hate war...

Yup, and "disagree" (wont say "hate" because Mods will sink their teeth in my back and draw blood again ,) with anyone who is in the war, or making money on it, or stupid and brainwashed enough to sign up for it and get paid for being in war...

As far as enlightening goes, i would rather prefer to plant a seed in peoples mind that perhaps will generate a thought. The reason is that it is impossible to change anyone's mind by arguing.

Here is a seed that should be planted in every junior high school student.
This should be required viewing.

It is an excellent animated 3 part documentary of how vital debt is to our economy.
The first 2 parts are available on Youtube no charge, the third part you need to order and it discusses an alternative "money supply."

I highly recommend everyone to watch at least the first 2 parts.

No surprise that this was based on Bank of England's "brief history of banknotes"... get in to more debt, be more enslaved, feed the banksters.

I'd rather have my kid watch ZEITGEIST in school as a required viewing ..

Conspiracy movies like Zeitgeist should not be shown to kids.
I tried to watch it a few years ago and turned it off because of it's nonsense.

Kids need to learn how our actual economy works and make decisions that will help them make productive choices, not fringe films that are meant to confuse them.

I'm not sure the point of this thread, but corporations are a pretty simple concept, a legal entity that allow business people to safely conduct business without putting their personal property at risk.

I watched the first part and I have to say it was really good. I like the idea of getting rid of the fractional reserve and central banking systems.
