Money As Debt - Full Length Documentary

does that documentary contain a single citation or is it all speculation and misrepresentation?

i'm not going to watch it becuase i can see that you're trying to "humble" me by showing me that you totally missed the point anyway.
not sure how that's supposed to work.

@previous (C)
hmm, i also said that somone else had a better understanding of the material than i did and that i was going to be forced to reevaluate my opinion based on a more thoughtful interpretation of the source material.

how does willfully acknowledging my misunderstanding and willingness to incorporate new ideas into my worldview
make me stupid?

i don't ignorantly cling to irrational ideas once proven wrong and argue a moot point, so i'm stupid?

are you stupid? that's my response.

i also believe a guaranteed minimum income of 20k a year would be cheaper and more effective than our current welfare system, but i have zero evidence, no expert opinions to cite, and only think it's true becuase in my gut it feels like a great idea.

but i don't go around bashing welfare and claiming a guaranteed minimum income is actually better, would fix anything, or is economically even viable. even though i really think it's a great solution!

not only that, but any kind of real proof that it's a bad idea would likely factor into my opinion and i might actually change my mind.

i don't have to believe something forever and always despite evidence to the contrary. however, there are many people around here who do exactly that and they won't shut up about homosexuals, transexuals, circumcision, psychiatry or any other god damn thing they think they know everything about but can only discuss in vague laymans terms.
