• the question, however, was would live be easier or more difficult without money, and you simple stated life would always have money. but, for this quesiton to work, you need to pretend it did dissappear, what you expect would happen.

• Look, it's "simply", first of all. Anyway, I'm saying that a life without money is impossible. It cannot happen. If you had read my answer more carefully, you would have seen that. I'm saying that it is an impossible question, and I don't appreciate your negative rating.

• Interesting point, so if we had a societal system, it would replace all other systems which were created to create a "society". Then this would not be a society but a bunch of quick fixes, creating a façade for the product of society, built by big-mouth slimy slave owners interested winning, power, greed, etc. If we stopped talking, looked and tried to understand their meanings and roles, reduced it to what it actually meant and formed a plan that works for the whole world, we would all work as a society rather than a product of a bunch of systems or except the inevitable consequences, those strange good people who give us everything. Everyone has their bs, can you make money off of yours? Data shows that money is our number one influence. Without it we cannot even afford the most basic necessities and would be forced to live on the street. Hope your one of the few groups of people they recognize as being eligible for aid. The systems are failing us and cannot sustain us. Flawed?

• revolution does not have to be bloody, but when it blows up in our kids face, it might be. Put the stop signs up, after the construction of the street, or there will be blood. People need rules and they need to be "common sense" We are still stuck on who's god is better, who's wallet is fatter than yours, etc..we try to build a justice system, we want fair, we just cannot understand how to do that with money in the picture. Oprah complained when she got paid $17 for jury duty, when she could have made over a mill that day asking Dr. Buy Drugs and Ms. Fat Burner questions. What kind of value does money hold? Maybe we are scared about the future, I know I am, but I can't trust anyone, they're too worried about their bottom line, then their service and products. College = Business + everything else It is a business, play the game and no one gets hurt, but people are still hurting!!!

• pretty soon the "poor" people will throw in their towels and spend their whole day sipping their drinks and talking about the rich people, and tend to their gardens...? Who will do the work to support their fantasy lives? They are running out of naive people (slaves) to exploit and people are pissed. You wonder why kids don't seem to give a f***? They want to, but it's meaningless and strange. They are bombarded by actors who want to sell something to them, which they can't afford and are not what they say it is. School costs money, having an acceptable image costs money and 9/10 times it is a scam. They want to learn, but their best teacher just took a job as salesman, so he can afford his rent. Nothing works without money...nothing works because of money. We value nothing, so much for "society" or the land of nothing.

• You would probably see how you are throwing your life away, if you took your faith in money, out of the game.
  
  you still get a "yippie" when there is no money involved...you also get a f u from others when you win too. Money takes the fun out of the game and makes for a highly competitive situation which creates strong emotions and consequences. It is because money is part of every system and that money is being stored in those machines instead of putting people through school, food in their mouths, helping the homeless, fixing our roads, and keeping hospitals working.
