Large corporations like MicroSoft, Apple, Google make this transfer of information possible. Just saying.

[rkaiser]

And Fox and NBC and CBC and and and. Propaganda got us into the mess we are in. Call the stuff I post propaganda if you like, it will also get us out.

Wow, interesting take, still comes down to the EVIL RICH, but there is hope to take them down. The 99% is no BS. Whether you like it or not we are all in the 99%. I strongly agree, people seem only live to work. The ability to kill is number one focus for all governments/rich pulling their strings. Distract us with an ENEMY.

[farmaholic]

When you strip away the social facades we are expected to don by society, ask yourself how much has "humanity" evolved? Whether individually or in groups, humanity is still stealing from and killing each other, legally and illegally. War aggression is legal murder, but for you to kill your neighbour is illegal. Varying degrees of insanity...

There is no conspiracy, its a ****ing fact.

Weird world. Thank God I live where I do...

I think the older people get the wider their eyes open. The innocence and niavity of youth gets replaced with experience and knowledge. Focus changes.

Rowing hard against the current of natural life gets hard as I age, after a while we let the boat turn and flow with it rather than fight the current.

Rowing against the current of society is equally or more difficult, only thing that keeps people rowing is the realization societies' morals dont match their's. Sad part is it is exhausting and overtime we surrender, the boat turns and in we go with the flow, unwillingly...

Compare the 99% of farmers in Nigeria with the 99% in Canada.

Then compare the 99% of farmers in Australia with the 99% in Canada.

Compare the 99% of people living in Vancouver with the 99% in Centro do Guilherme, Brazil.

Then compare the 99% of people living in Vancouver with the 99% in ReykjavÃk, Iceland.

Compare the 99% people in Pakistan to the 99% in Canada.

Then, compare the 99% people in Germany to the 99% in Canada.

Most of the 1% invest their savings in many countries throughout the world. They don't bury it.

The questions we need to ask are these:

1. Do we want large investments in our countries and cities and communities?

2. Do communities that have corporations investing in them have a higher standard of living?

3. Are the communities and cities and countries who reject, or don't get investment, actually thriving?

4. What makes Canada so strong ...... financially, morally, health-wise, happy, standard of living... throughout the world?

5. Which countries do people usually choose to live in, when they can no longer find any thing good about Canada? Or any G20 nations?

6. Would the world, cities and our communities be better off with zero rich people?

7. Do like-minded people, farmers,cities, or nations, actually work peacefully and co-operatively, and successfully with each other in 2015?

8 Is Canada a desirable nation ?

I consider myself so very lucky to be born a Canadian. And consider it my responsibility to treasure and nurture and protect my country.

I'll leave the 8 questions for each av'er to ask themselves. Pars.

[malleefarmer]

My son posed a hypothetical question to me the other day which I decided not to post on av as was kinda dumb unanswerable question but kinda relevant now.
"dad what would happen if a computer hacker stole all the money electronically held in banks and by govt and didn't do it for his own gain just to cause mayhem and only money left was cash? Couldn't really think of a logical reply as it wouldn't happen ahh hypotheticals

[farmaholic]

Mallee, you should have told your son it wouldn't matter anyway because it really doesn't exist anyway. Only a ledger entry, so they could simply "put it back".

That is why we are somewhat stuck with false currency, not enough hard assets to go around and satisfy the need for "money". The fact current money is based on thin air is part of the problem. Simply a medium for exchange of goods and services everyone has accepted. Where's the underlying support?

[cottonpicken]

Its simple convertibility,we use to have silver in our dollars,even before nixon it was taken out,use to have nickel in our nickels,copper in our pennies,until it all became to expensive,you could still use paper or electronic digits as long as there is a conversion.Until guys like Degaulle or me call bullshit it works.

Malle,good question i don't know enough about computers.

[ag-boy]

farmaholic!
watch your language, on agriville ou kid,s read some of these nice topic
you used a good God following ! to make up for ,
nice reading on learning from each other on agriville
keep it up

[farmaholic]

I'm not sure if I got chastised or praised or both.

[parsley]

Both comparisons use mainly land as hard assets:

Compare the 99% of farmers in Nigeria with the 99% in Canada.

Then compare the 99% of farmers in Australia with the 99% in Canada.

Australia and Canada are obviously the countries of choice. Why is that?

It's not about money. Goodness, Iceland declared bankruptcy. It's about security. About culture. About accepting responsibility. About industry. About work ethic. About families. About religion. About government. Builders.

These are the things that make a country a good country.

All the characteristics of a desirable country determine whether or not you eat well, get an education, are protected, and are happy.

Nigeria is a hell-hole because the people in Nigeria, allow it to be a hellhole, They stand back and wait for someone, or something, to fix it for them.

Tonight, fellow farmers, reflect a little on how you contribute to your neighbourhood, your province, and your country. And pat yourself on the back.

Farmers truly have been, and continue to be, astonishingly productive members of our society. And decent people. And community builders. And family units.

For those who cannot, or will not recognize these kinds of contribution to our Canadian way of life, along with all the small businesses, and corporations, and governments who ship and process and market and regulate the goods and services that flow constantly, I recommend you go and live in Nigeria for a year. Or Pakistan. or Indonesia. Or Mali. Or El Salvador. Or Cuba. Or Sumatra Or Afghanistan. And take your own body bag and incessant bitching with you. Parsley

[westernvicki]

Cultural history is vital to who we are and why we are where we are in this world.

Interestingly Canada had one of the highest levels of individual land ownership in the civilized world as a founding principal of settlement, a fact we should never forget or take for granted.

Dear Parsley,
Thank you for taking the time to respond in such a descriptive manner. I will leave many of your points alone as there are some obvious differences of opinion between yourself and Kaiser, however I would like to suggest that there are many things we agree on as well.
Your concern over who belongs in this amazing country that I feel we are both passionate about calling home befuddles me. I assume you are of anglo saxon or European decent and also assume that you are aware that it was "us" who invaded this country and claimed it for "ourselves" in a genocidal period know as " pen them savages up and put em on reserves or kill em".I assume as well that you have been to Tim Hortons where the work ethic of immigrant workers often far exceeds that of our entitlementminded white kids. To say that a muslim driving a gravel truck in Alberta (pretty much like the taxi industry these days) is less ambitious than a white dude sitting behind a computer making bets on the stock market while trying to build his kingdom intrigues me to say the least.

I hear you on radicalism and will only say that just like an eye for an eye, radical action responded to with radical action never works.

I realise that you and many other folks on here want to label me, just like you tend to label ethnics people or radical politicians and their puppets. May I suggest that I have no problem being called a conspiracy theorist, and like the new title some of us have now claimed - coincidence theorists. Or one I really like these days. The "really guy" or the "are you friggin serious dude" LOL

There you are ag boy, I am aware of your dislike of profuse language and will try my best to respect your request.

Have a wonderful day pars and enjoy that organic food. One more area, like my love for this amazing land we call home, that we seem to agree on.

I will not stand back any longer and allow this amazing country to be high jacked by either senseless politicians or as I tend to believe complicit treasonous criminals who I have compassion for as I truly believe they are scared shishless. You chose folks, my coincidence theory side or the idea that our politicians from the Blue and Red and even Yellow bellied NDP and Green with capitalist envy are all senseless followers of a system that has been broken since 1974.

Son of a gun - changed food for our chickens and put in a heat lamp to hide out under when they come in from digging in the snow all day and they are giving us 5 eggs out of 5 hens every day lately... Whoop Whoop

[fjlip]

My bad Parsley but just checked globalrichlist.com and 1% is way too many RICH people, including all of us on Agriville. $32000/year puts you in the top 1%. That includes 62,000,000 on earth. Those are worker ants for sure. I would correct that to the top 0.0001% making $2B per year, all 3000 of them. Perhaps calling all the shots. Again think as you believe, can not prove it at all, but very suspicious as the "Lie we Live" suggests.
