It's pretty trippy. I think they mixed up the order of the police and riot police though. I like how the ballot/media boxes form a solid wall.

I would totally use that Tinfoil Hat when guarding the Lumber Mill...You don't know how many times I've been mind controlled to jump off the cliff to my death by a priest. Although, situationally, I should always have a grounding totem down to absorb the MC, or a tremor totem if it ticks will actually remove the charm.

EDIT

Oh man those mats are rediculous! 99 tin bars is like 30 some hours of farming, and ive never even seen troll tears drop...they must be very RARE!

Exactly! :eek: while it can be fun to invent conspiracy theories and joke about them or even talk seriously about them... what the fuck can any of us do to stop what's really going on in the world?

I was talking to my housemate about laser cards and how they're trying to get rid of cash... he thinks it's a good thing. He refuses to believe that this has anything to do with the fact that if all cash is turned to plastic, it's going to be much easier for them to trace everything we do and know where EVERY PENNY we spend is gone to. He thinks that's fine... even when I asked him where people will get stuff that may not necessarily be above board... he said barter will probably come back in :rolleyes: . How can people really not see what's going on? It used to be too gradual to notice but the technology age is making all this way too feckin blinding obvious... and yet people still shrug it off and laugh and think you're nuts.

The people who shrug off this stuff probably believe reality TV is actually real. You can't convince people to believe something they have never spent an ounce of time thinking about.

Speaking of EVERY PENNY...I heard on the radio this morning that Canada is considering completely eliminating the penny. I know it's just the penny, but it's a slippery slope.

No money in my pocket makes me nervous too.

yep, it's just downhill from there. I agree that not carrying around cash does have it's good points... but since when do banks actually operate in our best interests alone? But people somehow think they are when they come up with ideas like this. Once you get rid of cash, everything you buy or save will be so much easier to access.

Another thing people don't think about is, just like with savings accounts, once there is no paper money, all of it will be stored in a computerized account, which means the bank can turn around behind your back and lend out your "cash" without you ever knowing ...

... you think that won't happen, but it will.
The banking industry is the ONLY industry that makes such practices legal, and publicly acceptable.

If you put your stuff in storage, would you think it's cool if the storage facility turned around and lent out your shit while you weren't using it?

Think about it.

Well banks are not storage, and haven't been for a while if they ever were. They lend the money you deposit to others and make a profit of them. For instance lending out to home buyers. Which is why you get interest on your deposit. Depositing in banks, is just the most conservative way of investment with low risk and relatively low (but safe) pay-off. If you want to store your money, get a bank box or something.

So that's not shocking, that's the concept of banks.

No that is the concept of fractional reserve lending, which is what the banks have grown up to expect as a right.

There was once a day when banks lent out their own capital, not YOURS.

Just a thought.
And if you want to let the bank lend out your money, you should use a "certificate of deposit" or have a conditional checking account that allows you to withdraw conditional on the bank having your funds to give back ... time delayed withdrawal, not an "on demand" account ... otherwise it is just a pyramid scam that only works with the guarantee of the government ... ie ... the government agrees to give the banks whatever they need to cover the difference .

whatever.
in the grand scheme of things it's a "why bother" it's one of a hundred things that is severly fucked up in our world.

The whole thing will come crashing down in the next 50 years ... and by whole thing i mean life as we know it, not just the banking system.

Well, why'd they want your money, and pay you for it, if they weren't using it for anything?

It may be fucked up, but that's how it works. And things will come crashing down, as they are all bound to do at some point. The interesting part is what is built on the ruins.
