Author Topic: The Zeitgeist Movement - A better way for humanity  (Read 17391 times)

I assume you are opperating off of the idea of human nature. This is a false idea because we are brought up to believe this.

If I were to bring up my child with these ideas he would follow them with no intent of greed power, etc.
Because parents are totally teaching their kids to be power hungry, self-centered corrupt starfishs.

Bull

Human nature is in every person.

You wouldn't need to do tis there is no money.

I'll just steal all of your other resources then.

Have you seen any countries that use the capitalism method fail? I will watch addendum with Jouatt on skype later I guess, but it will probably not change my mind, I just want to see what makes you believe that something like this would be for the best. You can never get rid of corruption, never ever, and I am sure there would be ways to exploit that just as in capitalism, which has it's flaws, but is far better than the alternative.
I don't know about your definition of economic failure but by mine the united states qualifies. Corruption is a product of the monetary system - get rid of money and corruption disappears as well. You should not be so sure of things you know nothing about, a resource economy cannot be exploited.

So instead of going to a place where mature adult-like people go to, you come to a children's game website hoping to recruit some followers? good plan my man
I know, right? What were we thinking, you're all so immature. Way to shoot yourself in the foot, there are a large number of people who would not qualify as "children" here.

Pessimism, right.

Without inequality and power hunger, we would be still living in the caves (or something along these lines).
You are confusing inequality with technology which I find mildly disturbing when you consider how very different they are.

1. 68 people are killed annually by terrorism. 400,000 people are killed annually by coronary heart disease. Please tell me which one of these is a bigger problem.
2. Who's invading us? Don't mention any countries in the middle east because that's the other way around.

2. Get off the energy grid and stop supporting the energy companies who pollute poor countries and annihilate local economies.
Then how do we get electricity?
3. Don’t ever join the military for reasons stated above.
What about a draft?

1. Without a military that number would be MUCH higher on the terrorism part.

2. Economic failure? Bah. If you define economic failure by "world superpower from 1940 something to 2000", then yeah, it is an economic failure.

World-wide effort as far as terrorism goes.

Watch addendum before you go making claims for the umpteenth time.

I don't know about your definition of economic failure but by mine the united states qualifies. Corruption is a product of the monetary system - get rid of money and corruption disappears.
If you thought harder about this you would know Chaos would soon follow without a currency.

I'll just steal all of your other resources then.

The resources, due to technology, will be in major abundance. So there would be no need to do this.

blah blah don't think terrorists are the only threat. If America suddenly had no military, the country would be overrun in days. The military is good.

If you thought harder about this you would know Chaos would soon follow without a currency.

This is where the "Venus-Project" comes in. Plus it's a resource based economy.

Bull

Human nature is in every person.
Corruption is not human nature. Either part 3 or 4 covers this

I'll just steal all of your other resources then.
Stealing is a crime motivated by scarcity, a product of the monetary system, which would be eliminated. There would be no purpose in stealing.

You're so loving naiive. The military works 24/7. do you have any idea how fast America would get raped if our military disappeared??

oh great you gave me the website. I see nothing being done.
I am neither naiive nor suggesting that the united states end its military.
I don't think you see anything else either.

You wouldn't need to do tis there is no money.

YOU DON'T WANT ANY CURRENCY?

I just flipped a stuff. You broke me. This is all about getting rid of CURRENCY? What would we have to live for? There would be anarchy everywhere! This is the worst idea I have ever heard of!

Stealing is a crime motivated by scarcity, a product of the monetary system, which would be eliminated. There would be no purpose in stealing.

Oh yeah, people would steal alright. How would you gain new things? By sitting at home and making it? There would be skyrocketing crimerates!  THis would not deter thievery in the slightest bit!

The military is an obsolete institution that does nothing but handicap human progress and further the agenda of the banks and corporations.

I quoted this right from your loving "movement"

It's stupid and flawed.

Terrorism is more than just killing people. There are honest hardworking farmers over there who are being extorted by militants claiming to be fighting for a religion that the farmers already believe in.

If I were to bring up my child with these ideas he would follow them with no intent of greed power, etc.

Oh wow.

My dad tries to bring me up to be loveually pure yet I think dirty thoughts like every 10 seconds.

The military is an obsolete institution that does nothing but handicap human progress and further the agenda of the banks and corporations.

This is a loving Neo-Marxist movement guys.

Corruption is not human nature. Either part 3 or 4 covers this
Those parts cover nothing about the subject. I could grow up with a family that teaches these morals and still end up as a drinker, raper ect.

Really, you blame environment and surrounding the cause of the human condition. It's the mindset of a person and the decisions they make.
