we use resources in our economy but we are not a resource based economy.

We could switch to a resource based economy.

If we just starting working together we would solve a lot of crime and other problems that plague society. If we made food and housing a right, we would solve poverty and a lot the crime associated with it which is quite a bit. Why the hell is everyone so balls deep in having an economy and money. Money stops us from solving so many problems, why do we have to fund cancer research, why don't we just try and find a cure because a lot of people suffer from cancer and helping those people is the right thing to do. Why does money even come into play. The only people I see truly benefiting from having money and an economy is the rich, they have millions of slaves to do the dirty work while they reap the benefits. Man, we are lost now more then ever.

Lets legalize drugs, let's take the money out of the hands of the criminals. At what point did we start to only care about money rather then the well being of fellow man.

lol, too soon. really, you are wondering why people want to have fun.

Of course the rich are getting richer, the game is rigged.

I'm a pacifist. I look at the world now, I see war, poverty, manipulation, I'm not going to support our leaders.

Lot's of things have serious health issues, alcohol kills more then all illegal drugs put together. Let people live not just survive. Because some people think they know how people should live their lives.

With all the power and authority we give to the government, let's hope it doesn't slip into the wrong hands.

What a waste of money, can't they just meet at the holiday inn. This thing should cost $25,000 at most. Where the hell did we get $1 billion dollars to pay for this. We treat our world leaders as if they are kings, they do not deserve the recognition we give them. We wonder why things like poverty are never solved, now that I think about it, they could of done this meeting over Skype on the internet. I'll be there protesting.

The wouldn't be able to operate on the scale they do now. Truthfully I don't want the government involved. I don't think marijuana should be taxed besides sales tax.

You can't OD on pot, nobody in history has OD'd from pot. I know many people who get high on a daily bases.

What about the people who want to do those drugs, shouldn't they have the right to live their lives the way they wish or are they forced to live under the mob's thumb. Do we still have that burn the witch mentality. Nothing, educate on the dangers but let people make their own choices in life.

If dope was legal I would hope I could buy it in bulk and not have to stick to buying joints, I don't smoke joints very often. I would probably smoke 4 joints a day, I know people who would smoke 10 or more a day. We should legalize it because keeping it illegal does more harm to society then good, we shouldn't be legalizing it because we can make a few bucks.

The problem is democracy doesn't work, it divides us, keeps us arguing while the real issues go unresolved. I'm not pro communism or anything but I do know democracy doesn't work, we need to develop a new system that caters to all the people not just the group in power at the time. As for an economy, we don't need it. The economy isn't real, it is just an idea people a long time ago thought up. We now bow down before it like it is a god. We are about to forgo a terrible economic downturn, the standard of living will go down for so many, why, I guess we angered the economy, are we crazy. We are the wealth of this planet, not dollar bills or bricks of gold. I'm just going to go on a little rant here now. Look at oil companies, they virtually can control entire economies simply by controlling the fuel that literally fuels the economy. In my books dependency is a form a slavery.

If they raise the interests rates to 20%, they would be paying more then 2 trillion dollars a year on the interest of their national debt, they can't afford that, they are already broke. Unless they print the hell out of the dollar which it seems they will do because it is what they are doing, they will inflate the hell out of it and risk hyper inflating which will send gold prices up. This isn't 1979. The American government wasn't running a $1.5 trillion deficit back then.

So do you think it should be legal or illegal.

What makes you think they will fall? I'm positive they will be up next year, not down.

do you think pot is a danger to society.

So you think it's okay for people to smoke it but if they get caught smoking it they should have to face some sort of penalty.

we don't just need a new legal system, we need a brand new social system all together.

But chances are it would make us kind of mad and it would destabilize the area. We are making enemies by fighting these wars. Not to mention war is murder/terrorism. "Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows" - Martin Luther King Jr.

Gold is considered money. It goes up and down based on supply and demand. When major currencies like the Euro and the US dollar show weakness, people tend to flock to precious medals and that drives the price up. The Euro and the US dollar are both weakening. Gold is a physical commodity, fiat currencies are pieces of paper and trust, people feel safer having a physical commodity during downturns in the economy. The economy isn't recovering.

The markets will crash, the US dollar will crash, gold will continue to rise. Look how big of a deficit the American government is running annually, $1.5 trillion and it is only going up. Governments can't do that without debasing the currency, they are just printing money to cover costs, they are inflating the currency.

We need to end the wars in the middle east, they are creating instability as appose to stability. What do you think would happen if China had a war going on in B.C,
