Poll: Who Rules You?

[_sabotage_]

Just curious.

[notyou2]

Don't suppose you have some theories for us.

[thegreekdog]

My wife?

[mrswdk]

The Comedy of Errors is entertaining.

[Anarkistsdream]

My wife?

This is who THINKS rules me... But I am ruled by my penis... Why was that not an option? Oh, and alcohol, literature, and food... Oxygen rules me, too. And gravity has a rule I just can't seem to break.

[krallam]

No, the one ring rules us all.

Money rules no one. Money is the means through which we exchange for other goods. Our goals, motivated by our desires, are the foundation from which we demand goods. Money is merely a means to that end.

Imagine living within barter economy. The problems of creating and obeying rules will still remain.

Do you live in that type of economy? No. You live in a world governed by the pursuit of money. The heart of all law has a foundation in money. Even in cases such as murder, there are costs associated with the crime, even if we're simply talking about the criminal trial. And that's not figuring any civil cases, which are purely money grabs. Penalties are monetary. I have a job because I need money to survive in this world, lest I lose my house, my car, and ultimately, my life.

My wife?

This is who THINKS rules me... But I am ruled by my penis...

And who rules that? Your wife.

TGD WINS AGAIN!

[mrswdk]

Never hang up your testicles for the sake of your wife.

Oh, you're talking about prices. Sure, there's prices; it doesn't follow that prices rule us. They can't tell us what to do... it's up to you and whoever exercises control over you--e.g. the government and its courts.

Even in an economy without prices denominated in money, you'd still have prices, so you'd still be saying the same complaint--except it wouldn't be about money itself.

The price doesn't tell you what to do, but it does dictate what you do.

[notyou2]

Serb is right. For example, I can't get a home without a mortgage. I can't get a mortgage without making a deal with the loan sharking devils called banks.

Money rules us all whether we want it to or not. If you forgo money and live in the woods and become a hermit, it is due to you trying to avoid money.

[BigBallinStalin]

Prices are only information. You can either go for it or not; the price doesn't force you, so it can't rule you. Certain people rule you...

You can't jump 10 feet high, but I don't see y'all complaining about gravity ruling you.

Maybe what I say doesn't matter because y'all want to blame others and dissociate yourselves from your own actions.

I have been quite successful at playing the game. I'm just saying the system stinks. There is worldwide trouble because of a few mistreating the masses. It is an age old problem and continues because we are animals that can use our hands and our brains. Perhaps some day we will all be considered truly equal and not profit off each other, but I doubt we will ever get there.

[Serbia]

Actually, I'm just trolling.
OR AM I?

Bollocks.

[notyou2]

Look sabotage, we have tried a bunch of different things here to get you going in your own troll thread and you haven't chimed in other than making it.

Apparently we haven't hit on the right topic yet.

We will keep trying.

[mrswdk]

I think he's waiting for a reference to the Lizard-Jew OWG plot.

I choose option E: the government is most like a puppet. The puppet of the Rothschilds.

What's wrong with profiting from each other?

CC is profiting from us, and the paying and nonpaying members profit from CC (until they quit).

I have no issues with a fair exchange of goods for services. The problem is in our current state things are getting worse. The fat are getting fatter and the skinny are getting so skinny if they turn sideways in the shower they are in danger of slipping down the drain.
