Credit cards don't put people in Debt. Irresponsible spending does.
Of course, in this current modern day era, one needs credit (as the majority are unable to secure enough cash on hand or save in a bank account, centralized or otherwise) to make major purchases for necessities. fonewear said: » Have you given much thought to refinancing your home loan today?

You do also know what "Isolationist" means, right?
You cut yourself off from the world, cut off imports and exports, and focus entirely inwards. It's been done once in history by the US already, at a time when it was already a huge gamble in order to recover from the Great Depression. All foreign trade was cut off: meaning all imports and exports were stopped, as the idea was to focus entirely on producing goods, services, businesses, and so forth on American soil, for the American people. However, such an approach would not be viable in today's era, on the basis of an international market economy. ALL businesses and people would suffer (except those who do everything they can to avoid paying taxes), resulting in massive business and economic collapse, meaning millions of people displaced because of loss of work, without necessities, medical care, and so forth.

You don't need alliances and treaties either to be a successful nation. Tell that to North Korea. I think you got that mixed up friend. The United Nations which should be disbanded which would save a lot of american tax payers dollars is forcing sanctions on North Korea for being one of only 3 countries left in the world without a Centralized bank. Go figure we hear alot of negative press and forcibly help this dictator starve his people with sanctions. Everyone of us shares the blame for those people suffering for accepting Centralized banking. Good thing I don't and millions of other americans too. Lakshmi.Aelius said: » HEY LORDGRIM!

Also, just having bills paid on time, in your name (mortgage, phone bill, etc.) are quick and easy ways to build up credit and/or business/community rapport. Quote: Then why are you wanting/wishing/voting for change then? Because someone has to fight for freedom and show there's still good left in humanity. I acknowledge the monumental task set before me and understand that i must climb a mountain of corruption in order to restore freedom and common sense law that our nation, a Constitutional Republic was founded on. I have been told by Kingnobody that my ideas would bring our great union to the dark ages and he is very wrong. We can operate more freer and be as prosperous as a nation as we want without a all powerful banking institution. That rips our currency to shreds and creates artificial booms and busts. What we have today is anything but free and orderly my friend. Is it wrong to go back to the basic fundamentals our country was founded on? I don't think so, we can still do everything we do today without a central bank. These naysayers who say we can't just love ripping off the people, which is something i am strongly against.

I suppose if you have the skills, which is not a likely proposition, you can do like some friends, buy up a dilapidated hulk in Old Towne East, and renovate it, but try doing that with two kids and no heat. I'd raise the question with regards to a car, but if you're willing to buy used, $5,000 can get a decent, if somewhat high mileage, vehicle, though even $5,000 can be hard to save with how wages have stagnated leaving most people living hand-to-mouth. Otherwise, I largely agree with your sentiment. And I do advise against owning a house (unless you have the skills to renovate it).

Siren.Lordgrim said: » just love ripping off the people, which is something i am strongly against. For arguments sake. Let's say that you are 100% right. ok? And this goes for anyone that wants to change anything not just you. Why should the rest of everybody have to change? What if we all like being wrong? You do not have the ability to see the future. No one does. So you can not guarantee any change would be for the better. It could all blow up in our faces and then where would we be? So....isn't it easier for one person to move somewhere else to be with people that agree with him than to try to change the minds of three hundred million other people that like things the way they are now?

"Stripper by day mom by night makes everything alright" Yeah, you're not buying a house with cash.
Generally I agree that if you don't have at least 50% of the money for what you want, you're gonna *** yourself over on those greed traps of 0% down, no need to pay for 2-3 year sinks that wreck souls. Shiva.Onorgul said: » Out of curiosity, does this mean you oppose homeownership? For the overwhelming majority of Americans, it's simply not feasible to "save up" $50,000+ for a house, and that'd be a small house even in a lackluster market. Poverty is a result of the inability to delay gratification. It's a simple matter of will. Immigrants come to this country every day with nothing but the clothes on their backs and save up enough money to buy a home. They have no credit cards, they have no credit, they don't even make minimum wage. Siren.Lordgrim said: » Quote: Then why are you wanting/wishing/voting for change then?

I haven't seen anything from you aside from conspiracies of the old ages and speculation on the current government in how you think they run things. As an individual yourself, how much influence do you think YOU can start the movement for change for the better? Before you answer, you are not powerful, you are not Jesus, you are neither a guide nor shepard, you cannot be charismatic since this has been proven at this website alone, so, I ask again; what makes you think that any effect that you have on anything will turn any gear of politics/democraacy aside from speculation and bs?

Siren.Lordgrim said: » In 1999 former president and Gov Bush made claims of a humble foreign policy, no nation building, and no policing the world said this " Let us have an american foreign policy that reflects American character. Is there a 3rd Bush who was president by 1999 that the rest of the world is unaware of? Siren.Lordgrim said: » Bush also rejected nation building saying " Somalia started off as a humanitarian mission and changed into a nation-building mission and thats where the mission went wrong. The mission was changed. And as result, our nation paid a price. And so I don't think our troops ought to be used for whats called "Nation building". I think what we need to do is to convince the people who live in the lands ( themselves) to build the nations. Maybe i'm missing something here-we're going to have a kind of "nation-building corps" from America?" Siren.Lordgrim said: » I am very different then these false representatives and in todays world view yes it would be considered revolutionary ideas because you will never hear them run on these ideas. Siren.Lordgrim said: » People forgot elections are not determined on who makes the most money even though it seems like it with billion dollar election spendings. Siren.Lordgrim said: » They prop up the devalued currency as a false illusion that we must be a millionaire or billionaire or own a company or have faculty degrees. Siren.Lordgrim said: » Mr nobody thinks its hard to come up with 5,000 and says i can't. Well he is wrong i have the ability to raise that money. Myself, on the other hand....and no, I will not give you $5,000, because that would be a complete waste of money. I would rather burn it, as the heat it produces is more valuable to me than you are.

Caitsith.Shiroi said: » Shiva.Onorgul said: » I do advise against owning a house (unless you have the skills to renovate it). You rather pay a rent until you die? The only benefit owning your house provides from a fiscal point-of-view is that if you decide to sell your house and move, you get a huge wad of cash with which to do so, meaning that unless your house's value plummets you should only have to pay for one home. That's a gamble, though, but not one that banks want you to consider while engaging in predatory lending. So, yeah, I have no problems with the idea of renting 'til I die. Since I'm unlikely to have kids and cannot guarantee I'll ever necessarily marry (by which I mean cohabit), I wouldn't need that kind of floorspace, either. Siren.Lordgrim said: » I have been told by Kingnobody that my ideas would bring our great union to the dark ages and he is very wrong. The Federal Reserve lends money to banks, holds reserves for banks, and takes old/damaged currency out of circulation. You remove the Federal Reserve out of the picture, what are you left with? Banks can no longer lend money to individuals who are seeking money to invest in a house, car, improvements, or whatnot. Businesses cannot borrow money to upgrade their old systems/machines. Businesses cannot borrow money to invest in new technology. Businesses cannot borrow money to create additional research into the newest things. Why would all these people be effected? Because you basically removed the ability for the banks to borrow money from an outside source to support what these people are asking. Think of it this way: I deposit into the bank $1,000,000. The bank can then turn around and loan $970,000 (must keep a 3% amount of all deposits on hand) to various people they see fit to lend the money for. That money is gone quicker than I signing the deposit slip for the $1,000,000. Well, guess what, I decide to take that $1,000,000 to a different bank because I can get a better service there. How can the bank give me that $1,000,000 back that they owe me because I put that money in there for safe keeping? Under the current system: The bank borrows the $970,000 from the Federal Reserve to pay me back my $1,000,000. Under your system: I'm screwed until every dime of that $970,000 is repaid. And believe me, not everyone is going to pay back that $970,000, because not everyone can pay it back (either their investments go south or they just pretty much stole from the bank). Now, multiply this situation billions of times (because not trillions, but quintillions of dollars go between banks and the Fed every year) and you will see how much you have ruined this nation. And the sad part is, this is a minor issue of the damage you would do if you removed the Federal Reserve from the current system. Siren.Lordgrim said: » No, Because those 300 million + do not love the federal reserve. Those people need someone to stand up for them to be there voice , i would take that duty and make sure they are heard. Siren.Lordgrim said: » Slave owners said the same thing you just said. My answer is because any form of slavery is wrong, the 1st age of slavery was by divine right, the 2nd age of slavery was by chattel ownership of ones body, the 3rd age is by Financial obligations masking easy credit that binds chains on you. Making you think your free but you really are not. Its wrong thats why we should change and we can. Siren.Lordgrim said: » No one likes being wrong and let me tell you it takes courage to face the truth to recognize being wrong. Siren.Lordgrim said: » I use to think our banking institution worked and helped our nation and its people until i started educating myself about the first 2 incarnations. Then i knew our nation was in danger. That is the first step that empowers you to seek the right choice. Siren.Lordgrim said: » |
