GENIUS FORUMS

The government uses our money to support itself and this country (road repair, military, hospitals . . . etc). Now, my question is: instead of depending on the people for this support, why can't they just print the money which they need? If the government printed all the money it needs, then (as som...

DFBatosee, also your a dickstick...dont be making jokes about the army or vets..... you lil shitstain....just go grab a box of pokemon cards crawl into a corner and wet your bed..... B-b-but...he started it... *sniff* if you get all your friends to print 1million dollars then the price of stuff will...

Sapius, Sagerage, in case you are following this; my responses to Cory are essentially also relative to your thinking… Yeah, it gets a little tough to understand at times. Sure, why not, but IT is not a thing in and of its-self, and so is causality for that matter. So I don't give "it" a...

Tomas - I see you're still suffering from shell-shock...

No really, I've asked many questions and none of them seem to have gotten an adequate answer.

...Instead, I'm getting spam. Great.

Cory Duchesne, If you were to subtract the factor "Socrates as mortal man" from the equation, then the occurrence of death would be impossible. Therefore, the fact that 'Socrates is a mortal man' is one of many causes contributing to his death. Well, when you say: "Socrates is a morta...

Is there an answer to the main question of this thread?

I'm out of luck - no sound. Is there a transcript?

Cause and effect has no beginning and no end - how convenient. I can't rap my mind around that! (Is nature a donut?)

sagerage wrote: How does evolution take place, why, and for what purpose??? How about survival? Yeah, I know, but why and for what is the question. Let's pretend that we didn't evolve and were still monkeys or bacteria, what would be the meaning of this and did it all come about as chance? (I don't...

So are you saying that it is perfectly ok to imagine it either way? Yes (there isn't only one right way. The same thing can be expressed in many different ways), I'm just not quite sure of what you meant by this... so I find it illogical to say “nature” breaks-up any thing at all; it already is...

sagerage wrote: Another thing, cause and effect aren't separate they are just there (like time) to break up the flow of nature into parts that we can understand. Why can’t there simply be causally interactive parts, and that itself be the nature of nature? For “nature” to break up something, ...

What is the ego to a Buddhist?

Brad,

The goods' value doesn't change, the currency's value drops.

I see no difference.

So, the reason why this wouldn't work is because people are pigs and wouldn't be able to control themselves with all that money (extra money - no tax).

Right, a good solid understanding of the basics is key.

intelligent design, can only be understood by an intelligent being. I doubt a crystal or a piece of paper can understand what...it all means.

How does evolution take place, why, and for what purpose??? Sure, cause and effect. But what started this process and why?

Time is like logic, it was there all along waiting for us to discover it.

Cory Duchesne, Logic is simply the act of identifying, or concluding what the causes are of a particular phenomena. Logic is an abstract tool that was developed to understand causation. There are innumerable factors causing Socrates mortality, but just to name one, Socrates mortality is caused by be...

The ego is simply the sense of self. When there is no ego, then the awareness of the self doesn't exist at that particular time. Just like happiness doesn't exist when a person is sad and when a person is happy sadness doesn't exist for them at that particular instance.

Shahrazad, Printing money out of thin air is about the most stupid thing I can think of. Not to mention impossible. It represents wealth, but some people like you make the mistake of thinking that the green bills themselves are wealth. I still think that they are. Print $10 bucks and try to buy some...

The more money there is, the more that money loses its value. How does that work? (Ex. 20 bucks is always gonna be worth 20 bucks, no matter how much money you have. Of course prices can go up making that money worth less, but why would that happen when there's more money?) daybrown, You are not spo...

DFBatosee,

.... makes sense?

Kinda...

if the gov makes money it costs money

So, the process of making money costs more then the actual worth of that money?

not to mention the more money you make the less its worth

How's that?

...so the price of stuff would shoot up

I don't get it.

Instead of taxes, why can't the government just print its own money?
