Don't know who invented it, but it's a con.
Those who work least in an organisation are highest paid.
You've got to have some to earn interest.
You've got to spend some to get a discount.
The stuff in the shops, they're not giving it away.
People beg for it, steal for it.
You can't eat it.

I think it's a con :-|

You just defined capitalism.

Can you think of an alternative? :)

No, not off hand

This cash, it causes debt
It encourages most forms of illegality

And you can't get far without it :-(

Any society that owns property of any sort has to have a form of exchange.

It's not money that is the cause, it's the love of money that is the problem, to paraphrase the old saying. It's only a problem if you let it be one.

A New York researcher taught some monkeys how to use money.
Top buy was sex.

'Money means a lot to me particularly when I don’t have much'.

The origin of the 'old saying':

1 Timothy 6:10King James Version (KJV)

10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Arrghhhh....did I just quote the bible! That's a first for me.

Still, it sort of explains a lot about the CoE and the Vatican I suppose :) :) :)

Capitalism is it ? even communists and fascists use cash or kind.

I read recently that in the purse of ERII is a brush, a mirror, a lip stick

............and a £20 note for the offering plate in church

No, your *description* is capitalism. Not cash. Cash is cash. You aren't talking about kind - you are talking about cash.

lol - really - what's in the Queens purse? What in the creation of the earth has that got to do with anything? There's more than that in my wallet right now and that's not in the papers! I can't see the relevance of that little gem of trivia to anything other than a gross invasion of the privacy of the Queen and which is more than likely totally fabricated. Like HRH is going to tell someone what she carries round with her. Really? hahahaha

I can't honestly see your point :) If you don't like cash, don't use it. No one is forcing you to live within the system, opt out and enjoy the freedom you will have to grow your own food, swap it for clothes, pay the mortgage or rent in bales of hay and make your own wine from nettles. Sounds good to me :) :) :)

The Good Life made a good TV comedy years ago.

I obviously don't know the difference between capitalism and cash :-(

The content of her purse is no doubt speculative, something I read on the internet.

Yeah, probably. I was reading about an alien abduction on the internet the other day. Good stuff :) As Winston Churchill once posted on a thread on here - 'You can't believe everything you see on the internet'. Profound stuff.

I liked The Good Life. Felicity Kendall was rather cute back then :)

If anybody would like to try to live the good life please feel free to send me your "spare cash" I'll make sure it's used wisely....NOT!
Why do beggars always ask for spare cash....Duh...it's not spare be honest just ask for money.

Yes Eldrick, you quoted the bible, guess there's a first time for everything! ;-)

Currency might better describe cash money or perhaps they're the same thing ?

In this life one thing counts
In the bank large amounts
Charity's fine subscribe to mine
Get out and hack a computer or two

Take a tip from Bill Sikes
He can whip what he likes
I recall he started small
He had to pick a pocket or two

Wise owl 1 to wise owl 2
"What is the wisest thing you ever said?"
Wise owl 2
"I'll take it all in cash"

Ok so Money is a con
Well I would hate you been part of a con
So send me all your hard earned money
and I will invest it for you in the shops on

SHOES SHOES MORE SHOES ;-) ;-)

I'll buy you all the shoes you want if Clarks will take bags of salt and shiny beads?

Recent years have shown that banks are not the safest place to put your cash.

How is that?
