Seriously though, why would you have a kid and not support their dreams to the best of your abilities? Makes no sense to work all your life to acquire a good salary if you're not going to put it towards the next generation.
Maybe the kid is a loser with stupid ideas who will never accomplish anything? I mean, if I demanded my father fund a hookah bar, I'd hope he'd be rational enough to say no. Way to have faith in your child. Rep, my parents paid for my rent, car problems, and not much more. I just don't get the illusion of a diploma indicating a higher amount of success over following your dreams, doing what makes you happy. |

In spite of Pirate and Nefario's departure, Dank Bank is still operating strong. |

If you just want to reap the rewards of materialism, why would you have kids? I thought we all wanted the best for our kids, we're the future after all. If I had a son that was following his dream, I would do every damn thing I could to help make it reality.

Kind of like jury duty? It's an interesting idea, though I guess you might need to refine it a bit if you want to sell it to a large audience.
Yes the jury is the closest thing i know in application at a wide scale. I guess some nice diagram would help. If i have courage i ll do it... I wouldn't look for answers from such extreme alternative political systems as Anarcho-Capitalism though. ... Justice in general is pretty much a crippling weakness of AnCap. Under such a system, they would oppose all the bureaucracy and "brutal force" necessary to organise the musical chairs of anything that resembles a jury system. Not to mention that anything overseeing a jury, such as public courts, would be absolutely out of the question. Although some AnCap supporters might be curious about the merits of a 'musical chairs' revolving democracy, I suspect they might have a lot of trouble tolerating 'forced participation'. I suspect many of them are die-hard Objectivists who took Rand very seriously, and they would be disgusted by the idea of "personal sacrifice" for some common benefit. To them it resembles Communism, and since they have absolutely no idea about Communism, they see it lurking behind every corner.  Is there justice today? You're deflecting. Repeating complaints about the real world does nothing to bolster your preferred alternative. How's this for a concept: Given that the vast majority of people in the world are "good and decent" and strive to make the world a better place, it could be argued that out of all the possible systems and structures that might theoretically exist, the path that humanity presently takes is already the best possible path. Every time someone comes up with what they think is a better idea, they are faced with a challenge: can they use their 'great idea' to steer humanity in a better direction? Or will the effort fail? Fortunately, they don't have to know the answer. Humanity can decide what's best for itself. Based on that view, I'm simply biased towards a slow-and-steady conservative approach that respects humanity's efforts thus far. Risking revolution and bloodshed to merely test a theory (AnCap) is crazy talk! The OP's ideas of a jury-like system are based on ancient concepts, some of which are still in use today. Where is AnCap being successfully used? Who's talking about revolution? If you increase the awareness of those in power, you might actually be able to convince them to relinquish their power. |

It's definitely dependent on the individual. It helped me get started life and become truly happy.
Your life started when your father's spermatozoon penetrated your mother's egg, not when you left your parent's home. Have a spliff and open a book about biology to get a feeling what is life. I recommend the The Web of Life from Fritjof Capra as starting point: http://www.scribd.com/doc/42842538/Capra-Fritjof-The-Web-of-LifeYes, I mean, I escaped the cave of negativity that engulfed my parents home growing up. It feels like you're alive for the first time when you don't have to return to the same dysfunctional home everyday. MildBill, oh yeah, money just makes me so happy. Forget that I was able to hang out with friends and live life on my terms, it wasn't that I was able to start living positively and develop relationships with other humans. Seriously though, why would you have a kid and not support their dreams to the best of your abilities? Makes no sense to work all your life to acquire a good salary if you're not going to put it towards the next generation. |

What about when people choose to stop using money? Must we always run to mom and dad, or is it possible we can resolve situations ourselves?

Now, going back to topic...
Kind of like jury duty? It's an interesting idea, though I guess you might need to refine it a bit if you want to sell it to a large audience.
Yes the jury is the closest thing i know in application at a wide scale. I guess some nice diagram would help. If i have courage i ll do it... I wouldn't look for answers from such extreme alternative political systems as Anarcho-Capitalism though. From the Wikipedia: Moral criticismsSome critics argue that anarcho-capitalism is an inherent miscarriage of justice because it turns justice into a commodity, thereby conflating justice with economic power. Another argument is that private defense and court firms would tend to represent the interests of those who pay them enough.[1] Many supporters of the non-aggression principle argue that anarcho-capitalism is immoral. They argue that it implies that the non-aggression principle is optional because the enforcement of laws is open to competition. Justice in general is pretty much a crippling weakness of AnCap. Under such a system, they would oppose all the bureaucracy and "brutal force" necessary to organise the musical chairs of anything that resembles a jury system. Not to mention that anything overseeing a jury, such as public courts, would be absolutely out of the question. Although some AnCap supporters might be curious about the merits of a 'musical chairs' revolving democracy, I suspect they might have a lot of trouble tolerating 'forced participation'. I suspect many of them are die-hard Objectivists who took Rand very seriously, and they would be disgusted by the idea of "personal sacrifice" for some common benefit. To them it resembles Communism, and since they have absolutely no idea about Communism, they see it lurking behind every corner. Is there justice today? Police arriving at a murder seen does not prevent it from happening. Here's a concept though: Every human has a consciousness, which are one of the same. Every human is a good person, deep down. People do 'bad' things, like rape, murder, theft, because it is their best option, from their perspective. The only way to prevent these occurrences is to change their perspective, to get them more in tune with love (consciousness). People whom harm others have lack of control over their ego, this is noticeably evident in many child homicide cases, where the child uses a form of pharmaceutical that negatively increases their ego, often antidepressants. So how do you instate justice? Do you kill the murder's closest loved one to make it fair? If so, where does the cycle of violence end? Or is it possible nature has the full capacity to serve justice? We know nature is an equilibrium of everything, it's perfect, naturally. What if, rather than reacting with more violence, we allow karma to govern disputes and injustices? What if we work at solving disputes from the source, ego? We're all the same person after all, there's no reason we should disagree other than lack of understanding or personal opinion. The universe has created a perfect system of life, as comfortable as it may seem to have an army out to protect you, any bit of control, power or violence disrupts nature. There's no enemy to fight, we're all together, as humanity. The only way to create a society of peace and justice is to increase the awareness of your neighbors, by spreading the understanding that acting out of ego (greed, hate, power, control, violence) is never justifiable and always an unwise decision. |

Don't stress it, dawg. Driving takes confidence and trust in yourself. Just believe you won't fuck up and you'll do your best.

Don't worry about tickets, dawg. Keep on driving in the fast lane.

Who says that cat can't learn to dance his way across the piano, creating a nice tune, by itself.
I'm insanely high right now, but wow. How do you keep getting stupider? You're judging someone on the internet, I would say I am not the unwise one in this situation. Actually you're being judged for the stupid shit you say. Grow up and quit asking your parents for handouts. I wonder if @ 17/18/19 years old Dank still lives with his parents? I bought my first house @ 21 years old.... Damn parents drove me nuts... quit smoking that damn reefer you hippie I moved out about 6 months ago, at 18. I wouldn't say I rely on them financially, because I can't expect anything from them. They do help when I have car troubles and stuff, so I appreciate that. I more so rely on the universe for finances, I know it will help supply what's needed for this concert, just as it has been. |

Just to clarify, Dank Bank does not operate like a ponzi. I use each investment for whatever I feel is best, enough to make a profit at the end of their investment term.
Crtisizm is one thing, criticizing people is another. Not that I care a bit what Monster thinks, but I'm not going to listen to someone who firmly believes I'm incompetent at everything and my best bet in life would be to join the military.
Maybe it's just me, but I'm not going to take advice from someone who thinks helping kill people is a more suitable career over starting a hookah bar.

I've spent the last week reading through the BitCoin thread over at SA, and I hate to say it, but they've called it every time an "investment" turned out to be a scam and for the most part they are quite right about a lot of the BCT community. It's so insular here that a lot of people either can't, or don't want to see it. I feel like a lot of ridicule stems from people not listening to them.
The majority of their threads revolve around this community and not BitCoin itself. It's clear that there's money to be had in BitCoin, and quite a few SA members have made quite a chunk of change off it. However, they got into it very early.
You might want to open your mind a little bit and learn to take constructive criticism. A lot of the so called "trolls" are actually rather helpful. Look at that one guy who has put a ton of effort into Dank's Hookah Lounge and Bank threads, trying to teach him basics of running a business. It's not their fault Dank won't listen. That's a lesson that should apply to everyone here.
Just my BTC0.2!

That's because they call every investment a scam. They were (are) wrong about Dank Bank as well. Are you talking about monster ant? Why would I thank someone who calls you a fucking sponge every other sentence? Another thing that I tried to make clear, I do listen to people's feedback, I just have little respect for people full of hate. |

The Washington bill is a load of horse shit (not that the cops here really cared that people smoked even before the bill). It actually BANS people from growing it themselves and I heard (although I haven't confirmed this yet) that it approves up to a 25% tax rate on the substance.
I thought that I read that individuals could grow up to 6 plants... They should be selling a license to grow these 6 plants and receive revenue through the permits and through taxing the product when sold through a retail establishment Why should you need a license to grow a plant? |
