Pick up any scenario, any situation, and I'll show you how it could be sorted out very easily, if everybody would be telepaths.

Anybody have any aspirin? My head's starting to hurt.

Are you saying that this demonstrates a problem with or an advantage to the nature of money?

My point was that Negative Interest would be a far preferable idea to Positive Interest, which just causes economic stagnation.

Maybe my history isn't that great, but efforts by Germans to make the world a "better place" have oft been not such a good idea...

EDIT: I deleted this paragraph, since Neike said, quite rightly, although not in so many words, that it makes me seem stuffy and does my argument more harm than good. You can see what I deleted in Neike's next post, since she quoted me. Basically, the reason I posted it was that I was quite irritated that I made what I see as a very valid point, and you just totally ignored the point I was making, latching on to something totally trivial like where it happened (which is particularly annoying since I had already said that I wasn't even sure it was Germany)... I wouldn't have minded if you'd just made some point about what I was actually saying as well, but you didn't...

Just imagine that we were all the same and we had all the same thoughts and same feelings kind of like the Borg from Star Trek. That is my unsettling view of what "a perfect world" might actually be like.

This is just gibberish. You don't like that world, therefore by definition it can't be your view of a Perfect one...

Oh please. If you're referring to the World Wars, World War I was as much the fault of any of the participating nations as it was Germany's fault. History is just written by the winners... As for World War II, surely you are not going to condemn a whole nation because of the actions of one government? There aren't many countries in the world that have never had a repressive government... My point here was one of Economics, so please leave your prejudices at the door - it wouldn't have made any difference what country this was in.

Um, Danny, chill out, dude. I don't think it was meant discriminating or anything of the sort. Yeesh, I live in the country, am german in blood and I didn't see an insult or something in the post. Maybe I'm missing something here.

Why do people keep telling me to chill out, when I appear to be one of the most laid-back people here...? Are you still taking all of my posts seriously?

I didn't see any insult there either; my point was that he just ignored the point I was making...

Well, what the hell is the point? I don't want to read some dogmatic diatribe before I go to bed, it totally screws with my chi and makes my dreams all stupid. Make this suckah into a flintstone vitamin sized post instead of a legal brief cause it is about 11 at nite where I live and I got a serious jam going down at my house because I am getting confirmed! Insert party music here. and on a similar note, I got excepted into a very prestigious school in watertown, Luther prep! Can you imagine me as a pastor?:D

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! *gurgling, pained sounds, scoots for the door* Nooo! Anything but that! *more frightened of the 'pastor' bit than that it'd be you, actually* ;)

I think we have come a long way since the egyptions, in my opinion, and if you do not think this, mudokon101 pointed out very well, it is a matter of view...............But I do not see how you can say we have not at all..............
