i hate money. and consumerism and capitalism

it seems like so many people's problems are money related. it's so ridiculous. especially how stressed they get over it. i mean, just take care of it. no point in freaking out. geez. i mean damn. money is lame. it causes so many stupid problems. the squalid ness. the greed. the heartless. and the drones..it contributes to them all.

 

is that homestar runner???

 

Money sucks!!

also,
homestar runner is some funny shit. Especially the evil dude(i can't remember his name right now)

 

i was thinking today...that money is awesome
if we had to trade everything then most people whould be fucked
and money is cool cuz u can use it to buy thing on the internet...how would we buy things on the internet without money

 

yea it's homestar. coined money does beat bartering in some ways, but you just turned into an example of why i hate money

ps. evil dude = strongbad

 

well how else could i buy most things shuch as an old restored car without the internet?

 

Didn't you ask that same question the last time Drifter posted?

Money is just a symbol for work - the concept itself it really facinating, it's what we have done with it that's disgusting. I think that you will find that it's PROFIT that is the problem and not money. Profit is what happens when soemeone gains more money for something than it is worth or pays less for the work done than it is worth. That's where the problems start, thats how we exercise greed and take advantage of others. It is profit and not money that is evil.

 

ahh,
good ol short term aint what she used to be

 

I hate money too. It is horrible that in ordder to live see a doctor recieve meds ect one must have it. it's funny because we all think we want it but the people who have lots of it are usually the most unhappy.

man, i tried to give you rep. for that but apparently i always gave you some not too long ago.... that is one of the best, most thoughtful posts ive read in this forum. right on, dude....

 

I know if i had more money i wouldnt be going to work tomorrow. that would make me very happy. maybe i could do something constructive with my life then. like travel and seek knowledge. if people are unhappy its not the money its them. i know poor people that aren't happy too. so if you are unhappy anyway send me your money. its for the greater good.

 

actually, as much as i dont wanna say that... that is a myth. there are many people that have money that arent happy but to say that most people that are unhappy have lots of money is just not true. in fact, it is just the opposite.
