Old conversation, but I have something to say:

In my opinion, the biggest mistake mankind every made was the invention of money. But now that it's here, we can't get rid of it, because if we were to do that, then our world would fall apart, and people would no longer have a reason to drive technology and new ideas forward, and we would just stop in our tracks.

Guess we're just gonna have to deal with it, though, right?

Unless we resort to Communism... Which originally wasn't a bad idea, then Vladimir Lenin decided to turn it into a Dictatorship, and things only got bad from there.
...Stupid Lenin

Even ancient Egyptians had currencies (Or just food) to trade things... Having money is great in my opinion, the only time is when large companies have too much of it and are able to push others around (RIAA?) but even that isn't too big a problem... Would you please give reasons as to why money is the worst invention evar?

As for communism, the idea is great...On paper. The excecution can only lead to corruption, as it did in the end...All communists are evil too

and it would ultimatley collapse...As it did previously.

I would have to dissagree with you. I think television is one of the worst things mankind has made.

It's alright if we drop TV from society.

Porn still has the internet to rely on.

I hate stupid abbreviations such as "lol"... like "omg I lol'd"
Shutup! I don't care if you laughed out loud or not plus the "I lol'd" makes you look stupid too on a level on par with "ORLY? YARLY! NOWAI!"
SAying something is funny is fine, but telling us you laughed out loud in such a fashion just annoys me...[/rant]

*Note: No this isn't just against you Turk, you just reminded me.

There's a big difference between the bartering of goods and real paper/coin money. Once real paper/coin money, we created a sense of competition, that is very often something that people kill each other over, even. I'm not saying that we should all just drop our jobs because of what I'm saying; if we were to take away the factor of money, we would probably end up killing each other from the results, anyway. I'm just saying that was humanity's biggest mistake, because it caused many other bad results, like "Corporate America" and in the monarchy system, there were kings at the top that had control over everyone else's lives and everything they had (like money). Think about it: what are the two biggest factors that drive people to do evil things? Money and Power. And money is the most effective way of gaining power, so even if it's just power that they are looking for, they may try to get more money to do so. lol, I'm not saying that money should be tossed out the window, it's just a bad desicion that humanity made, now we're gonna have to live with it.

Without money, we wouldn't be as advanced as we are.

gh0570fchurch · Post by **gh0570fchurch** » Wed Feb 28, 2007 4:29 pm

Good point, but if technology wasn't so advanced, we wouldn't have anything to compare it to, so we would think it's just as great as our own modern world.

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Wed Feb 28, 2007 4:32 pm

Money was not, by far, a bad decision.

gh0570fchurch · Post by **gh0570fchurch** » Wed Feb 28, 2007 4:37 pm

Okay, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on that, then.

I just noticed this.

Didn't you say the modern world is worse off because of money? Seems kinda contradictory if you ask me.

I'm about sick of all this anti-American economy bullshit. This is a rant thread, not a criticize your country thread. It's always easier to find flaws than benefits. You are just making all kinds of wild claims without any factual evidence to support them. Enough with this discussion.

I fucking hate when the whole sidelines of my team is yelling at me to cover a guy, and the goalie is telling me to stay back, then I get pulled off the field and yelled at by the coach when the guy didn't even fucking have the ball.

Fucking bullshit like that pisses me off.
