The World's Curse = $

How many of you have heard of the saying that money is the world's curse?

it is NOT a curse but a great, fantastic thing.

currency allows us to carry wealth without actually weighing down ourselves with precious metals and gems.

think of it this way..the starving people in developing contries have little if not any money at all.

Can you actually imagine not having anything? No computer, no expensive software....no house for a socket.

Is this fair? No. We are so damn selfish to even realize this, i bet everyone reading this does not even think about other people outside of their town/state when these are the people who need the most caring for.

I must admit, i myself am a selfish w@nker, but there's nothing i can do about it except give some of my money to them...it's better than nothing.

So in your reply, yes, the world is cursed by money.

if you dont think about the poor people, theyre really not there ;)

what is this money thing?

money? it should be banned

Wow Mephisto, you don't keep updated do you?

Forests are more plentiful now than they were in the 50's before MASS deforestation. Forests in the North are actually growing, and for every tree that is taken in the U.S. and (I think) Canada, at least 1 is replanted. It's the ecological nutcases out there, I.E.: Greenpeace, that are freaking people out and making everyone believe that our forests will be gone in 20 years and global warming, which I can guarantee is the biggest hoax EVER! Whoever said global warming was actually happening hasn't looked at history. So the average temperature has risen 1° in the past 100 years (statistic taken from the USEPA). I don't care if it's risen 1° in 100 years, look back over the past 1000000 years....we're more stable now than we've been since the beginning of time. This started as a money debate. Leave the environmental crap out of it. Environmentalists have lived in the cities all their lives, never in a rural area. They can all piss right off along with their followers.

ill be dead when the earth is destroyed. litter, kill, cut down, all the earth you want, itll be my childrens children's children's children's children's children's problem then. :D

I think banning should be banned.
