i strongly recomend to all of you to watch the movie ZEITGEIST ADDENDUM its here on youtube it shows how money itself is a fraudulent system and is the root cause of most of our social issues.

why are people arguing when we are all on the same team!? check your egos at the door if you want to comment or if you re not interested in making the world a better place go and watch survivor or something...

@tillo2008 we all contribute?! when was it that anyone asked to be born? who asked for cars televisions and the massive amounts of chemicals released into the atmosphere every day? who asked for nuclear devices? did you call for these major advancements in technology? or where they just already here when you got here? did you make any of this shit? could you even fathom it? stop blaming EVERYBODY! the people responsible are the same ones offering you a solution!

@shortysmagic It also shows how this fraudulent system, ran by corporations, in affect creates everyone to be a corporation unto themself in this through birth-certificates, driver license, etc.

WELL DONE!!!

This should be shown the same way sex education and drivers education is shown in schools.

AWESOME

[shortysmagic]

what are you talking about?

[shortysmagic]

o well its quite a bit diferent then the first one. you should check it out, what the movie points out is that there is no denying that the way money works can screw up alot of things, it suggests that we starrt a new world system, all though that system would be based on co-operation which the world as of today can't yet handle after you watch that movie if you do tell me what you think of it.

my apologies i thought you were talking about the origonal zeitgeist movie. i have not seen the second one and therefore cannot really criticize it.
