If money were abolished

[Navraj]

I've thought of this for a really long time, what if money was just ..... gone .... free education, free food, free everything for everyone. Many people think its stupid but you know .. it would solve every single problem on Earth.

Feedback?

[Xyolexus]

It wouldnt.

[Xepher]

it still wouldnt, because there are always greedy people and they will take more then they need in countries that dont have much to begin with.

[Starfox]

it would cause alot of riots to break out

[artaxarta]

There will always be greedy people in he world, as Xyolexus put it on vent:
NOMNOMNOMNOM

[Xyolexus]

Hahaha :P Thats when I was eating biscuits. :P

[Mazumion]

the thing is ... there would be no education, no healthcare, no economic, no food for everyone.. there would break out a full out war to get resources..how stupid is this question? Abolishing money is like abolishing healthcare, without it the world would collapse.... sheesh...

[Navraj]

Well ... if everything was free and we would just like .. share it all there wouldn't be any war ... kind of a stupid statement i made there, I highly doubt EVERYONE will share things .. so yeah ... stupid question by me. xD

[Mazumion]

Yeah stupid question, if everything was free people would stop working, if people stopped working there wouldn't be any free things in the world, your logic... gets destroyed by my logic!:O

[Xyolexus]

I win.

No money = no pay = no fair.

[TheMagic]

This would never happen, items don't have the same value so a guy walks in to a store and gets a free Cheeseburger another guy walks in to a store a wants a free car, this would make a cheeseburger worth the same as a new car? I don't think so, it wouldn't ever happen.

I've thought of this for a really long time, what if money was just ..... gone .... free education, free food, free everything for everyone. Many people think its stupid but you know .. it would solve every single problem on Earth.

Feedback?

[Protoss7]

What would stop me going and taking everything from shops then?
Or would people then be allowed to take from me? Would this rule abolish stealing to?

[Navraj]

If nothing costs money it wouldn't be classified as stealing ... now would it o.O Unless .... Gawsh I'm so confused now ...

[Protoss7]

I know, that's why I just hit Post on whatever I had written. It's such a stupid subject.

[Nebels]

If money was gone, we humans would find a new way to exchange for goods, such as rocks for cars or something. :)

[Mazumion]

the last comments on this thread are just stupid..... everything free = no production of medicine, food etc that's needed... jobs would be lost... the economy would collapse... everything would collapse..

[Navraj]

Jeesh lol I should have never brought this up xD, I'm still gunna continue thinkin if we abolish money the world will be a better place xD

[Mazumion]

Not really... that's a rather stupid statement.. the world would be the same.. just without the same resources...there would be more wars for resources, natural resources etc... slaves would be used again.... to get money and to get cheap labor... if money is abolished completely it would destroy the known world.

[Sithlord789]

Well, money was invented for "fair" exchange of goods and/or services, It used to be just be trading object to object, which in this day and age, just wouldn't function;

Any way of exchanging stuff/money will inevitably start a war... it's just how humanity works..

[iannes]

I would cry.

I want moneyz! Who the fuck would get a good education if they wouldn't get any money for it? That's why communism fails... baaadly

[elmario]

If there was no more money people will start using gold as a currency since its value never changes.

[varric]

Back to the barter system we go.

[Tyle]

if everything was free, there would be an endless war. or well, until everyone dies of hunger.
So money is everything.

and yeah, about 96 - 98% of the world is greedy, could never work out.

[jdfskitz]

School would be useless
people would slowly get more and more retarded
developement would slow down
until everything has stopped and people live on their own like
people in the past did

We will hit another ice age before something remotely intelligent even evokes thought in his brain.

i don't care if this reply is late or somthing, cause i missed a good joke, "You should be in the stupidity section".

[RLuster88]

well if there was no money - we'd have no reason to have luxury because it whould be based on trade sole on itself, need some gas? trade the gas station some carrot salad for his family, of which he may have traded autorepair for the barrel itself - ect ect

it whould be like a farming community sorta, except alot more lame

[Unlimited]

Guysh, the point ish there can not be a normal functioning shoiciety vithout the conshept of money. Vhat are you going to bashe your economical shate on? How vill you meashure the earningsh of each individual and accumulate their shatush? Think about it, thish ish a retarded posht.

Taking items what dont belong to you is stealing. Does not matter if it has a value or on it or not. stealing is stealing. you would get a fine for stealing which would be absolutely pointless because theres no money. =/

[iamrogue]

You're missing the point, if there was no money you wouldn't know what greed is because you can't be greedy over something that everyone get, ofcourse some morons would be stealing some shit etc. but if everything was free, everything would be so much different. The world would be fucked tbh because noone would want to work when they already get it for free and they couldn't get it for free because noone is working for it.

I'm 95% sure noone will understand this shit I just wrote, lol.

[RLuster88]

greed in itself is always existed - greed is similer to lust, and even the ancients gods (if you follow that) had greed over ruling worlds.

even today is farmer towns, in which trade itself is their means of living, they can greed over a crop, or some leather - anything even - including people or animals, they will lust or greed to have - despite not needing.

if it exist, somebody WILL want it.

[xtavie]

The concept of being "rich" or being "poor" would still exist. Those with the most to barter with would be considered rich and vice versa, nothing would really change. A more realistic topic would of been "What if everything was FREE".

[dilios]

If you remove money, then people will find somthign else of value and use that, land, water, and even sky could be considered assets

Frankly said.

It already did, its called communism, the flaw was it needed a REALLY strong government to do the rationing, ect, before everyone became a communist and the government dissolves. The problem is that the now powerful government would not want to relinquish its power and it would never dissolve and we would be controlled forever.

GL with that.

[Morragan]

If money didn't exist, you obviously wouldn't need to pay. So people wouldn't need to work. If people didn't work, there would be no fruits or vegetables taken care of.. Edventually people would starve, then you have the city-jungle I suppose.. Survival of those strong enough to.. Eat the weak ones..

..I prefer keeping money. I don't want to be eaten.. I taste like chicken.

How about no. :)

Superficial monetary sources were the cause of the information age.

If you'd like progress to stop, you can go back on the gold standard.

People whine about dips in the economy but the "recession" the US experienced wasn't that bad at all. Maybe if we stopped Bill Clinton from giving people so many initiatives to buy homes they really couldn't afford...

Capitalism is by far the most efficient and fair system the world has ever seen.

Fun fact: Rich people pay taxes out the wazoo to fund all sorts of public programs for EVERYONE. Like oh... FOOD BANKS, HOUSING PROJECTS,WELFARE, SOCIAL SECURITY, the list goes on...

Not to mention go look at any extremely wealthy person and see how much they donate to charity lol.

Sorry but people who think capitalism is some horrible system where just because some people make it big through hard effort and intelligence, it's completely unfair are smoking something potent.

You're missing the point, if there was no money you wouldn't know what greed is because you can't be greedy over something that everyone get, ofcourse some morons would be stealing some shit etc. but if everything was free, everything would be so much different.

Perfect example of how this already happens: Welfare + disability system in the US.

Okey....
Before money we traded stuffs for stuffs....
Now we trade money for stuffs....
The only difference is that now we use money instead....

[HelpForMoney]

@ OP
We'd die within a year, you're a fucking idiot. L2 Economics. Not one empire has survived for over a year without a barter/free economy, including Indus Valley civilizations.

LOL.

[darren]

Abolish money.
Use gold to pay for everything.
/nod

[HelpForMoney]

It's a limited resource, such as oil, in which we've killed millions of children to possess, and also have ruined our reputation, and have bumped off democracy, and made foreign policies for, and have become the most hated country in the world for.

Yeah, let's just use gold, and then destroy all of Africa to make mine facilities. Good idea.

[artaxarta]

wouldn't work. just wouldn't.

Thread closed.

[jonei]

it still wouldnt, because there are always greedy people and they will take more then they need in countries that dont have much to begin with.

coulden't find a movie saying "SLAY THEM ALL" but i think i just expresed it :>
