i am not so much outright against money, but the systems in which money is manipulated to create poverty and inflate the few who are already in excess. Nature suppliments the diminished and diminishes the excessive. "The Money Game" suppliments teh excessive and diminishes the already diminished. It's not money itself that is the problem, but the allowance of such systems that create poverty and enforce it. In my perception, any system which pays a tax is suspect to being guilty, and must not be cooperated with. So long as we are not in control of where the money we pay in taxes goes, we will always and forever have poverty. GEE, i wonder why tribal life looks so much more appealing to me?!

I've always considered tickleishness to be sexual, but maybe thats just me?

Tribe goes with the flow of nature. Civility goes with the flow of artificiality. WHO is going against WHAT flow here?

now you both have given me an idea to make a "Money" facebook page! just so i can friend and then unfriend it.

i prefer natural selection over human discretion. 100% of the time. A world of people preserved by nanobots is consequentally a world of people controlled by nanobots; anyone in control of the nanotech or capable of hacking it holds the lives of everyone affected in the palm of their hand. I'm not saying we be anti-tech, but that we really heavily weigh the consequences of technology and find its every flaw and exploit BEFORE mass introduction. bring people up to the bar of the technology itself before inflicting that bar upon people. Consent is the absolute must. i cannot consent to a civilized world, but i am unable to find a tribal people, either, to divert myself to. So i find myself a victim of circumstances i cannot alter affect or control. I am left with this ambiguous 'damned if i do, damned if i dont' set of choices to make... and at the end of the day, if i do, i am in part, no matter how small a fraction, responsible for the damning, whereas if i dont, no matter how damned i am, i can still say i didnt do it to myself, much less anyone else. i did not contribute to the damnation. comfortably damned contributor to damning, or painfully damned nonpartison? despicable decisions.

Nah, just a liffle fluff... Wait, liffle? I mean little! Nah, just a little fluff... ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ______________________ Nah, just a little fluff... To keep him primed for next scene: Nude pizza girl.

okay so, i need a passport and... a... ugh... job... OY! homeless cant migrate to canada can we?

It is not always up to the individual as to how much of a negative or positive impact technology has on us. Take, for example, the genetic modifications supposedly being done on food supposedly being distributed. I only hear and read about it on the internet and in newspapers, but i lack the personal exposure to evidence. The tech involved is threefold: 1. media information (newspaper, TV, internet) insulates me from the facts. 2. how these genetic modifications are done is beyond me, and most commonfolk. 3. more often than not, nowasays, people process their food repeatedly and thoroughly with various tools in the kitchen. We have control over technology element #3. but 1 and 2 are in our blind-spots. we dont really know much more about them than the hearsay we devour called "news". But let's assume its true, in the event that we are being exposed to genetically altered organisms in our food, we only have 2 significant choices: stop caring about what we eat and continue shopping or stop shopping and learn how to eat what grows wild and naturally. The convenience dependency factor of the civilized human being plays strongly against our personal wellbeing. (the needs of society outweigh the needs of the individual! Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country!)

Thank you for the advice! Edit: Do Stone and/or Brick count as concrete?

What's wrong with barefooting it in the snow if you have someplace warm and dry to return to?!

Plop! Aunt Judy's blouse!!! Use caution with condiments! Time to do laundry.

If i am not mistaken, the Earth is a Whole Unit, and anything that mankind does to alter the environment will be, in return, altered in natural ways as well through compensative climate change... I could be wrong, but i would put my life on it, that the earth is constantly compensating for all-elements of infliction; be they solar radiation or human farming. The earth is constantly seeking to hold on to some semblance of balance, and we're here paying no heed to the earth's natural and healthy state of balance and worrying, instead, about indoor plumbing and diversion of water into plastic bottles after 'purifying' (usually with chemical contamination, ironically) and charging other humans for their bare basic survival. We stopped physically evolving when we started trying to adapt our environment to us, instead of adapting ourselves to our environment. Ironically, we dont seem to have realized that no matter how intellectually evolved we are, we're still destroying our planet and inherently ourselves with it. (not to get all Jhon Carter from Mars on you, but YEAHHHWHAT)

Lacking a house is a society indebted to the individual, not the ass backwards way around that "normal" societies relate to; that you are born with nothing and owe the "haves" your time and effort to be in possession of anything more than your body. God forbid you ever recieve handouts and arent grateful that you're starving in the street with nothing but what you've been given; ungrateful. Oh, its much harder to LIVE an 'idealized primitive life" when you are facing enforced ownership and manipulation of resources. Oh how much easier it would be if no one had the right to inhibit anyone else's access to naturally forming resources like nuts, fruits, berries, and herbs. Oh how much easier it would be if no one had any right to lay claim to ownership and manipulation for the sake of fictional value profits by suppression of the cannabis hemp plant and all its infinite uses. One could live a very healthy life off of hemp and almost nothing else than hemp; for food, building material, medicine, and clothing. But oh, no one can profit off of the person who does all their necessary work for free. because poverty is better as it guarantees someone else gets to be rich.

I'll believe that when pigs can- oh wait, does that qualify as flight?

Humans!

tribals dont have debt. that's the highest pinacle any society could ever dream to achieve.

He was a great entertainer, and a huge fan of the Legend of Zelda series (named his daughter after the princess afterall) and i had had deeply rooted hopes that he would play the role of the King of Hyrule in a future live action movie. Even convinced myself that i'd make it happen if no one else did. Now he's gone and it is incidentally depressing. I've had a lot of inspiration for writing a fanfiction for the series, but now, i am convinced i will have to dedicate it to him. (for anyone curious about this story)

Cant spot the irony? Here, let me help you: The aboriginal and tribal people have/had far lower percentages of equity problems, much less quantity outright. Life was sacred, and death as well. (nevermind that all natural processes and things are sacred!) welfare wasnt some sort of burden, but the basic human righteousness to ensure your fellow people were not faring off any less than you were. BUT instead, we have everyone wants power, glory, greatness, and control, and that wouldnt exist without poverty and welfare handouts afforded by the rich and powerful. Nah, no irony there, eh? nevermind, guess i dont know what im talking about.

Money is good in concept and theory, beneficial to those who have it. Incidentally, if you have no money, you have nothing, and that is an enforced circumstance, not a natural one, derrived from the demand of there being a prerequisite payment for anything you need or desire. Poverty is a byproduct of the wide misuse of a tool (money), stemming from the mass acquisition of it. The sahara desert was once a lush, fertile, garden of eden until all the water was diverted to farmland. The united states was once a prosperous land of opportunity until all the money was diverted to taxation and corporate welfare.

Life/nature is the only process. it is inescapable. there is no such a thing as unliving. even dead things spawn life (regardless of how 'gross' or putrid). There is no inanimate anything. on the micro-scale thre are billions of trillions of tiny whizzing particles orbiting atoms of the structures of so-called "inanimate objects" AND on the macro-scale they are friggin flying around the universe in various orbits. There is no non-life or death, only contrasts to various frequencies OF life. That being said, have you SEEN the space whales?!? Majestic as fuck.

with sesame seeds... Lettuice, Tomato, Pickle: That's a good burger.

technology is limited, nature is infinite. Evolution is inevitable, wether technologically adapted or not. Technology is merely one of the many and infinite elements of the nature of the universe, but is no greater or lesser than any other element except by contrasts of opinion, desire, and necessity.

Nature, as neitehr good nor bad, is then a prime example of righteousness, for that which rejects nature causes more harm than does nature in even her worst moods. Nature is a nurturing mother, whereas the alternatives are warring men - all too often misguided fathers who, even in their right of mind, believe they are protecting their children and the mothers of their children but in the end only wind up killing the children of other mothers. Nature does not kill; fools disregard or disrespect nature and get killed of their own arrogance or ignorance. or both.
