@Dodger:
"How are you going to eliminate every damn religion ever made and expect everyone to be ok with it?"
Where did we say anything about the elimination of religion?
"What will happen when someone tries to control other people and exploit resources?"
Why would they do that if they have everything they want?
"How are you going to apply this to every loving country on earth? Terrorists, Rich Sultans, and certain country governments dislike our globalization of our current economy, so you are going to forcibly take resources from them, redistribute them to poor lazy ass people, and take away their religion also?"
Naturally, there will be difficulty with this, especially if the rest of the world clings to their ignorance the way most of you seem to do. Where was anything said about seizure of resources and redistribution to the poor, or are you just making assumptions?
"Who is going to stabilize this system and keep it free of corruption while also keeping resources and moral in check?"
Clearly, you have the impression that this is an anarchistic system. It is not.

You have demonstrated your ignorance so thoroughly that I won't bother picking this apart.
Mayans. Their calender ends on 2012
No it doesn't. A very long cycle in their calendar ends in 2012 and begins anew, a cause for celebration in Mayan culture - not an indicator of the apocalypse.
@Rekuddo:
"Which is why like myself and a lot of other people like to POINT OUT THE BIAS."Ok? Do so? All Zeitgeist is suggesting is the avoidance of
major news outlets.
"Explain to me how to reduce. You're using a power company, like everyone else here."From Addendum: "Four. Stop supporting the energy companies. If you live in a detached house, get off the grid. Investigate every means of making your home self-sustainable with clean energy. Solar, wind, and other renewable energies are now affordable consumer realities, and considering the never ending rising costs of traditional energies, it will likely be a cheaper investment over time. If you drive, get the smallest car you can and consider using one of the many conversion technologies that can enable your car to be a hybrid, electric, or run on anything other than establishment fuels."
"Selling your stock and getting rid of your bank account. First off if everyone got rid of their stocks and nobody was allowed to buy stocks, that would basically eliminate capitalism. While I understand Zeitgiest is a move towards socialism, and I do like some points in socialism, total socialism is not what this country needs. We're a mixed economy between capitalism and socialism."For yet another time,
Zeitgeist is not socialism. The Zeitgeist movement is not suggesting that you sell all of your stocks and get rid of your bank account, but that you avoid storing your money in and especially getting a loan from the group of banks known as the fed cartel.
"Your age has a lot to do with this discussion. Have you even been out to the world? Experienced what normal people experience?
I'm 18, I've taken classes on Micro and Macro Economics in high school, taken courses on business, I understand free-trade, socialism, the invisible hand, traditional economies, mixed economies, command style economies, taken classes on Government, local and nation-wide. And I've been accepted to a college where my major is Economics with a dual-major in political science. [/superioritycomplex]"So you're a little over two years from where I am now - congratulations? My age does not make my opinion invalid, and your age doesn't make your opinion valid. This little paragraph about how awesome you think you are goes nowhere towards showing how you've been "out to the world", and I can assure you that I have "experienced what normal people experience".
"And I've watched Addendum, Stoned, drunk, and sober and it still don't loving make sense."I apologize if you were not able to comprehend Addendum, but I doubt with the level of intelligence you claimed to have above that you honestly didn't understand it.
Not by this movement though.
Addendum has many quotes on that notion, and aims to fix that problem. How would Zeitgeist not successfully eliminate the power of the banks?
