The only way out of debt

julieq

It's just that every now and again, someone turns up breathlessly concerned having discovered how fractional reserve banking works and tries to warn us about it. Usually this is by reference to the website of some American nutjob demagogue. And sadly, you tick all the boxes. Sorry.

It has not been forced on me, willingly accepted and paid off, I thank you.

Still you guys are more interested in making jokes than actually thinking.

What was the joke? BTW I repeat where is your video?

We're sorry, the page you requested cannot be found.

Yeah but I'm not a nut job and this subject isn't new to me. I've met the economics graduates behind https://www.Call4Reform.org and I think they have something genuinely constructive to say.

Maybe my fault that I played into your hands a bit with the language I used. Still I do think the Banking system is a con, my personal opinion.

You don't get thanked for thinking.:)

But here is a thought for you, you are moaning about debt being forced on people.
But yet you are telling to go to a site and if we don't we don't engage brain cells and think!!!!

The problem you are facing is not people not thinking, but one of people seeing the same topic again and again and again.

tell you what, the guy in the next room has just turned his TV up and I'm not going to be able to get much sleep.

So why not explain what you're worried about? We'll set you straight. No problem.

Actually Samclam, you're the same nutjob as last time:

You do realise that only about 10 people actually see this board, don't you? Might be better off trying to persuade the HPC crew. First off they're nutjobs too, and very easy to convince, and secondly their site is visible to the WHOLE WORLD.

I mention brain cells because of the all childish replies.
I mention https://www.Call4Reform.org because it is an organisation I support and would like people to know about. A serious organisation not something crazy. Reading what they have to say is perhaps easier than me filling up pages here.

But if many other people have brought up the subject of how money is created why do so few of you care about it? Seems weird when it is so fundamental to our lives and could be done so much better.

It seems they only want students with one year left on their degree course to attend their conference, what a relief that is
