The money Debate

Major General Celestial

Money is the thing that provides shelter and destroys at the same time. Money can be a savior, and a menace all at the same time. I feelas if money will ruin a persons whole life, and that money is evil. I feel as if it runs the civilization, but crushes it all at the same time. We need a different source than money.

My question: What is your hypothesis on money? And if you could replace it, what is your idea?

True. But, I would also consider replacing physical cash (coins and notes) with one single note for everyone, useable only by them, although it can be transferred to another if they both use their PINs. So say they want to go shopping - they go to the online bank, put 300 onto their card and go to a shop. Shoes cost 70 - they pay, the shops card goes up 70, theirs goes down. All banks should be merged into a world bank to solve the credit crunch problem.

These are just ideas - they probably wouldn't work in this form.

There really is no way to replace money. Its a given. People have used inanimate obejects as currency for thousands of years. You take away all our money and civilization will fall.

Interesting choice of words. My point is on a replacement of money with a simple, easy system to save metal and time, yet you consider this to be removal? How do you mean?

If you removed the inatimate obeject of money then you would be removing something that is a must in todays society..money. I understand where you are coming from with saving resources but it would make it a lot easier to steal money with your plan.

Yes, that was my concern as well. I thought the best course of action was to require your PIN to be entered with every purchsase.

You are reffering to the use of todays pin for debit cards. The best way would be to use a social security number or something of the sort

The use of money should be abolished. It should be replaced with trade. Just Trade. And anyway... America's (My Home Country)money is fiat money, and therefore, worthless.
