They used to hang speculators in the 17th century

Solution: A Resource Based Economy
Money is a man made "thing" that causes more harm than good. It served it's purpose of trading but now it is corrupt and we are at a point where we know that some resources are limited and profit makes it impossible to limit exploiting those resources. I.E; Oil. We have technologies so advanced that we don't need to burn oil but people with lots of "money" buy those technologies and keep them suppressed because they make too much profits with dirty tech.

I think I agree with you much so on Orwell and also the lesser quoted but just as important aldous huxley with A Brave New World

[Parralyzed]

Ah thank you, that puts it into the proper context.

[MankindFails]

Damn how can they possibly raise food prices .... It's already nearly cheaper to import every single thing from Europe via mail services ...

[Arkinight]

Agreed, vapid sitcoms and violent Hollywood movies are far more interesting than reality.

Key words here; "what ever we don't use"...You need that to change to "what ever we don't NEED"....Things won't change...Individual self interest is the best solution..Consumers have the freedom to give to charity and make their own decisions on how to help the poor.. Great system in my eyes....If people aren't donating to charity, this is a problem is humanity, not capitalism. I sick of people saying "down with capitalism"; GIVE ME A SOLUTION!!!! Else, what's the point?

[leetcheet]

It's not possible...If it were you wouldn't be sitting in your heated house on your computer...If you feel so strongly about helping the poor, give your shit away..Except, you choose not to...How can we solve those problems, when the only people talking about them aren't willing to make those serious changes?

[leetcheet]

I've read stories of accused witches being thrown into rivers, in a cage....All types of crazy shit...Problem is, this is just a modern day witch hunt and it's pathetic.

Because they were stealing from the monarchs.

[joecoool]

I think you mean burned them at the steak....that would work for these bankers too.

[Parralyzed]

What are Briggs-Countries or however you spell it?

[leetcheet]

If you think I'm going to watch a 3 hour movie at the drop of a hat, you're sadly mistaken. Unless it's Lord of the Rings...Yeah, I'll watch that.

[leetcheet]

Yeah....I guess your on the side that completely ignores the things directly in front of them, then search frantically for a scape goat.

[boumar]

I've posted you the solution twice and I'm pretty sure you haven't really opened that video yet! Talk to you after you've seen the "solutions" I've posted!

[joecoool]

Your not really on the side of the speculators and bankers are
