Thread: Everyone, buy euros NOW

The population grows and grows, needing more and more infrastructure, and more and more resources to build it. This in turn causes the population to grow even more. It's self-defeating thing. Nothing is infinite that can be exploited quickly. It is all based on the animalistic side of human nature: greed, gluttony, security, etc.

Instead of people being a collection of individuals, we are now a cancerous growth on the planet. Of course I'm a hypocrite saying this, because I participate in it. Recognizing that you have a problem is part of the way towards creating a solution.

But I digress (and god damn I digress a lot, my apologies), the traditional economic/modernist model that most people take as common sense because of the implication of their own personal benefit is a disastrous thing in the "big picture". I reemphasize the idea that we are not talking about Canadian/American/Indian/Chinese/Russian, but Humanity.

Hmm... depression. Hopefully not for another decade or so. That way I can save up money, but tons of real estate when it hits, and get filthy rich when we climb out of it.

All you are doing is pointing out that their specific economic system is flawed.

Here's a clue-- All of them are.

People have already tried to come up with an economic system that doesn't lapse itself over-- See communism.

The media has opposite intentions. They WANT people to panic. The more people panic, the more people watch, the higher their ratings go. Do you think people are going to keep their eyes glued to the television if everything is fine? The media corporations don't give a fuck.

If anything, the media is overplaying the problem. Don't get me wrong, I know our economy sucks right now, but you can't trust the media.

Go hop over to Solskye's topic with the five youtube videos from the indian elders. That's what I'm talking about.

Not that a specific economic system is flawed, economy itself is flawed due to it's nature.

And I'm sure a child could have told you that

Name one human-made system that is perfect, or at least functions as marginally intended.

fed-EX?

Id say, if you live in Europe right now. COME TO AMERICAAAAAAAAAAA


Its dirt cheap for you now, go to America and spend, go back to Europe and sell. You'll be a millionaire.

A German car (bmw, benz) in America is now 50% less than the price in Germany. Buy 2 or 3 from America and ship it to Europe and sell. Get 50% over what you paid instantly.


Oh and in 10 years, id want to live in the middle east, where gas is cheaper than water. I lived in Saudi Arabia for a couple months, a gallon of gas is less than a one liter water bottle.

America is going into recession and its going to crumble down on its self soon enough. The more wars and shit bush wages, the faster we fuck up.

Go China.

By the way, at my last pep rally at school, they gave out flags for the national anthem. USA FLAGS. there was a sticker on the side that said made in china. Thats sad.

EDIT:

I live in Texas, and i remember when hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana. Holy shit? If a stupid wind hit ONE city, it wrecked havoc across other states.
I went to fill up gas at night, and i went to maybe 15 gas stations, all CLOSED> these are 24/7 stations.
I was like WTF? and then i found ONE open, with a line of maybe 40 cars?

If some wind and water did this, imagine what if oil was OUT, and the country was plumetting.

you can't drive an american car in europe. People drive on different sides of the road.

And so the argument winds down and you make me out as dim-witted. Thanks.

The only system that is perfect is the one that brought us into existence, which would be nature. Apparently it has become an ingrained ideal to try and conquer nature, bending it to humanity's will. Why? For creature comforts. The only point I was trying to make is that this is nothing to be proud of and now it has dragged on and on...

I am vexed, and nae shall I lay my eyes on this topic again, for fear of having killed its spirit.
