Meh... nobody else seems to be aware of the world wide crisis that has started. The monetary system is a joke and it's just started to crack in the last few months, and there's no way out of it. Anyone else actually aware that this could be the biggest crisis we have seen since world war two.
...although i don't expect any political debate/reply with the majority of the downers in here.

Good article! Seems as though i agree with what mr. rushkoff says - it'll be interesting to see what happens. chances are this whole process was created to allow those in control to institute a global currency.
we'll see.

Eh? If you'd posted this thread on the 19th of March 2008 then that statement would have made sense. Where are these people who haven't heard anything about the ongoing global financial collapse? You'd have to have been living on another planet for the last 5 months to have no awareness.

Ive been suffering from money problems way before this recession even started.
Im so poor and desperate id even consider marrying an ugly bald troll with a big mouth and a terminal illness, and then sell my wedding pics to a major glamour magazine and organise a deal to televise the funeral just to cash in...oh wait, beaten by Jack fuckin Tweed...

We've had to for years, but it just looks like we'll have to pay more. We have to pay for our chicken mcnuggets too.

how does it feel to never be able to buy land or own real estate in our lifetimes? we're back to the stone ages people. we're back to the landowners and everyone below them. the bartering system.
i'll trade you two chickens for firewood. i'll trade you twenty tomatoes for a leg of lamb.
enjoy life. kiss your lady. who knows about tomorrow.

owning real estate is actually easier than you think. honestly, this is the best time to buy - everything's on sale. Though, i look forward to reverting to older, less complicated ways. Grow your own food, learn a useful trade, bartering works, and it creates communities. Hopefully we're on the verge of something better. .. hopefully.
