Cashless society ( pros and cons)

[johnny2007]

Lets see - he may have reasonable explanations for his claims, and reliable evidence to back them up.

How long should we give him to present them, and should we treat any failure to do so as confirmation of your judgement?

Still asking for evidence of opinions.
What a nutcase you are.

 

[johnny2007]

More than that.

Imagine there was only one other. Lets call him Andy. R&C buys something from Andy, be it goods or services, and pays with "cash". What is Andy going to do with it if R&C is the only other person who will take it in payment for goods or services?

Adding a 3rd person (lets call him Johnny) wouldnt help, as youd still have a closed loop of Andy, Johnny, and R&C passing these tokens around acting as a type of barter transaction recording system.

Or... simply the last banknote in Andy's hand is taken to the bank.
So R&C would've been the last to exchange cash for goods/services from Andy.
End of your "loop".
I know, it's difficult...

Surely there must be at least one other for a cash transaction to work……

Correct there will be one other. But they'll be a bank, and a bank isn't a person.

THIS IS THE POST OF THE YEAR!

Quite possibly (though most of my posts could also qualify ), but most people will want to deny it because they have unconciously tacitly agreed to or even actively encouraged the loss of their own freedoms and the destruction of our country and society as we knew it.

However, as usual, it's far easier to fool someone than to convince them that they've been fooled.

EVIDENCE, PLEASE!

Don't you start!

You’d have your pint in your hand before they attempted to get payment unless you frequent the types of pubs that want payment up front!

True, but out of courtesy I don't like walking away saying "don't worry about it, I'm sure it'll go through!".

Pint. Cash. Done.

 

[noseall]

Still can’t see what you are arguing about.

who is arguing ?

I think what gas is saying is that people are going to be in debt whether we have a cash or a cashless system. The rest of his posts are fluffed out with supposition and bluster.

 

[johnny2007]

Oh - I see.

So this is an opinion:
But he is not able to explain how a government having the power to stop commercial companies from having things made abroad or buying components or sub-assemblies or raw materials abroad is a defining characteristic of a capitalist system and not a communist one?

OK.


And these are all opinions:





which have absolutely no grounding in facts, i.e. he doesnt hold these opinions on the basis of anything except total fabrication?

OK.

I wonder if you know any other words for opinions which have no relation to reality, or for the people who hold them?


Looks like Notch may have been spot on.

Those quoted by andy11 are all facts which different parties see from a different angle, their opinion.
For example, the shyt that we import from china is the result of our industry being sold to them.
Correct me andy11 if this is not what you meant.
Some think that without chinese cheap rubbish we wouldn't cope, some others think that buying British/European/Japanese/US (non chinese anyway) is always convenient in the long run for themselves and the economy.
The only evidence that you can provide is the fact, FACT, that a lot of things that used to be built in uk are now built to subzero standard by china, with full support from certain politicians and the sheep who buy cheap and buy a dozen.

Interestingly, if you look again youll see that I didnt challenge any of that.

What I did do and what you think ignoring will make go away, was to ask him, given his objection to communism, if a government having and using the power to stop commercial companies from having things made abroad or buying components or sub-assemblies or raw materials abroad is a defining characteristic of a capitalist system and not a communist one?

 

[Bodd]

I just can't help feeling that mobile phones are going to be the key's to peoples lives in the future one way or another, without the freedom of cash.

I heard that line before.....

Mudding waters as usual.
Communism... Capitalism... what difference does it make if you buy chinese shyt instead of british made products.
It's cheap, innit!
It's a fact that British industry is dying because it's been sold to china.
Go out of your cell and look around you, no more factories.
Is that evidence enough for you?
In their place now you find dormitories that sheep call "home".

No you won't! Even if I have to mug you.
