Live unencumbered by it?

Fix you lunch?

No, I'd just fix everyone lunch

"free" implies that money would still exist

No, free implies that there is a system of trade, regardless of what it is.

What if I fixed you up with a broken jaw?

Would the doctor fix you without any sort of reward?


I think no money would imply that people's goodwill and trade skills would dominate, leading to lots and lots of robberies and people with nothing. I, for one, would only help hot bitches.

Money is the cornerstone of the "system"

A lack of money inherently includes a lack of "systems" too

No system needed, just people having lunch everywhere

That's bullshit. People are not entitled to anything I produce. If they want something of mine, they can give me something in return. That's how systems of economy work.

You people can't see beyond money because that is all you've ever known.

Your "visions" of gloom without money are based on fear, so we cannot totally effectively communicate about this.

I know one thing. Something has got to give.

We might as well dump the whole stinking system and start over in the trees rather than become extinct by the actions of the governments that print your beloved money.

No seriously. How would you fix a broken body part?

Same way it's done now.

Money just sits there doing nothing, it doesn't do anything but move from hand to hand.

What would you try to give a doctor in return for his valiant and well-schooled efforts? I'm seriously curious. You talk like you have this all figured out.

Why can't you just play the game?

Life is a game, and we all have to play. So, I do. and I make the best of it.

He would not feel the need to be compensated because everything is "free" for him too

You have to look beyond everything you have ever been taught to see this. I know that's a rather tall order, but it's important if you wanna get it.

Think on it as you go through life.. :heart:

I'm with you on a few points, but try and live in this world without playing one of the games. for the most part it just doesn't work

I have considered such matters.

What is the alternative to the "game". People have been playing this game for thousands of years because it is the most efficient, easy way to make transactions between consenting parties.

:shrug:

I guess I just really don't have the same idealistic vision of people and their good-will as you. I know there are selfish people out there. What makes you think someone that gets everything for free their whole life would want to give back to others? That's like rich kids... only, it's the complete opposite of how rich kids really are.
