For £100 I will stop posting for a year, that's only 30 pence per day (or less). Would you organise a collection for me?Originally posted by DiscoStu View PostDo us all a favour. Stop posting.

Sure, I'll leave the money until I am 90 years old or so: my natural charms will probably get a bit blunt by then, so I might need the money.Originally posted by DiscoStu View PostOnly if you promise to spend it on a hooker and get some of that virginal frustration out.
Go on then, I called your bluff mate, you now need to organise collection of £100 - this is essentially a bet, so you need to cough up with the money - I promise you that if I break my word and post in 2009 I will return you the money and 50% on top

Well I read the other thread and I thought AtW won it hands down.
His economic and other views and theories are no more carp than others expressed on this forum and his search engine appears to be progressing quite well considering the scale of the effort required. I’d give it the benefit of the doubt for some years yet, for a project as mammoth as that.
He should never be allowed to own a gun in the UK though…
Nice avatar btw

IMO economics has no solution and one opinion or theory is as good or carp as the next. Its foundation, money, isn't even a real quantity FFS. Surely this isn't news, considering all the carp we get from 'real' money experts? Unify money with energy I say (inflation would be impossible without violating the laws of physics) - and the units are the same (work done, measured in units of Joules/jewels)Originally posted by BrilloPad View Post

It won't cover plenty of cases where intellectual efforts are involved, meaning we will go back to the stone age where firewood and some food were top priority. Perfect scenario for backwards countries whose main asset is the oil in the ground dug out using equipment invented in the west.Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostUnify money with energy I sayComment
