UtahBill said:The correctly quoted line is, the LOVE of money is the root of all evil.
When you love it so much that you are willing to hurt others to get more of it, then that love is an evil thing for you.
Money itself cannot be evil.
Have any sheep or cattle to trade? :2wave:Comrade Brian said:I would say humans are "the roots of our evils" for inventing money.
Navagator95 said:Money, or the Almighty Dollar as many call it, is the basis of your daily life. Money can do everything from get a soda at the corner gas station to changing our apperances (in more ways than one). People live around money, we use it to eat, dress, have fun, even keep people alive. But money is also something we can't get enough of, we fight & kill over it, steal it, copy it, and then some!
So, is this dollar the root of all things evil? Without money would our lives be any easier? Would we be happier if money was never even thought of? Personally I think the Barter Economy is a great idea, but that's just me. Let's hear what you think, but please, keep this peaceful!
jamesrage said:I disagree that money is the root evil.The root of evil is man's selfish/greedy desire.Thieves rob people becasue they are selfish.Some people cheat others because they are greedy.Businesses exploit illegal immigrints because they are greedy,Businesses move over seas to exploit people for cheaper labor because they are greedy.People speed above the speed limit because they only care about thier own selfish desires instead of the safety of others.People brutalize innocence because they are selfish and greedy fo the power they have.
If you got rid of money,then it would only be replaced with other things of value like gold, silver,animals, and other things of having value.
:rofl rofl!!! :mrgreen:Comrade Brian said:Yes, I am incriminating myself of being one of the roots of evil.:devil:

libertarian_knight said:Selfishness is not wanting to share what you have,
not taking what others have, which is theft and greed, certainly.
Businesses move overseas, because consumers are consuming. They may act in an unethical manner to provide that consumtion for consumers, but when all is said an done, ALL BUSINESSES ARE RESPONDING TO CONSUMER DEMANDS.
Gold, silver, animals, shaped rocks, wampum, beads those ARE/WERE money.
Money is not paper with a face on number on it. Money is money, regardless of the form.

What the hell are you blabbering about?

But you are right, Trotsky was killed by an ice pick in his home.
