[takewhole]

the bastard state wants to control every aspect of our lives. step out of line and the gestapo turn up at your doorstep. but most sheeple will happily give up their freedom........for a cup of coffee

[TheTempoChanger]

I don't know how I'm to pay for a cup of Coffwee, as the presenter eloquently puts it, but I'm fairly sure we won't let it go like this. I'm really really hoping at least.

fuck cashless societies, fuck banks... i took my shit out... no bank save my own money

[jopeon1983]

so cool i haven't seen or held physical money in over a year now and good riddence to it. a cashless society is the way forward and people 10 years from now will see cash points etc only in a museum or in history class. london is a great location for you cashless shopping too

[MrCashlessSociety]

No reason to be afraid.  The cashless society is coming!

@3Sciencenut Big brother is already watching you. Everytime you use a credti card or your bank atm card to get money it is tracked.. No more drug dealers. hehehe In a cashless society, illegal drug dealing is eliminated because you cannot buy drugs without cash. Probably could only be done on a barter trade basis but that is why they are trying to experiment now to push for marijuana legislation and probably try to get it legalized. This will be the only drug that will be allowed.

@MrHardrod2

But I want a mars bar?

[MrHardrod2]

@carbronica You can't. It's a cashless society. This eliminates borrowing, lending (usually some people who borrow from you don't really pay you back). It also eliminates loan sharks, extortion, illegal gambling, tax evasion and probably more than a dozen or so other crimes including fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, etc etc. And the earth will be peacefull again and people like Bernie Madoff, Jeff Skilling (Enron), Ken Lay (Enron), AIG executives (Government Bailout money) will be no more.
