| I'm still trying to figure out why this post was made... Was there a reason you felt you needed to share your amazing insight into the world and its economic workings? | |||

| SkankinMonkey Posted on 3:11 am on Jan. 21, 2002 Post count boosting does wonders for peoples ego's LOL no the thing is i was bored. i don't give a #### about post numbers and if you don't believe me you can always set my post number at zero perm it doesn't matter. Why did i post this pure boredom that and pointing out the obvious is needed sometimes; but it's mainly boredom. | |||

| And 99% of my money is owned by the government. So it would seem anyway... | |||

| And 99% of the people who post on this board are idiots. Inversely, 1% of the people who post on this board are NOT idiots. However, that does NOT mean that they are intelligent. | |||

| I feel compelled to mention Sturgeon's Law... here, but I can't think of a clever way to do it. | |||

| /me am moron. Actually, I think it's the top 1% owns 90% of the wealth. GRRR stimulus package. "Economic Apartheid in America" -Morey | |||

Why thanks for making me feel better, Cynnamin. Well... at least I can try to be a cool idiot like Skippy Handleman. | ||||

You are very welcome. I always like to try to brighten someone's day. | ||||
| jim993 | Jan 22, 2002 | |||
i forget the exact numbers but there's some stat that's something like 1% ownes 99% of the wealth and then 10% or something like that of that initial 1% ownes more money then the whole; something like that i forget i read all this stuff last year lol. | ||||
| Cynnamin | Jan 22, 2002 | ||
| How about everyone just give all their money and all their wealth to me and I will ensure that everyone receives a fair portion and is happy? *flutters her angel wings* | |||
| Bocmaxima | Jan 22, 2002 | ||
| Actually all of the Nations money is owned ny the Gov. A "Federal Reserve Note" as it says on US currency, is actually a reciept. A reciept for what you may ask? Well for the gold we supposedly have in Ft Knox, but I dare one of you to go there and ask to get your gold...lol, lets see how fast they pull a gun on you. Heres another scary fact...sorta 1.3 Billion - The number of obese people in the world 1.3 Billion - The number of undernourished people in the world. Strange. | |||

| Also, 1 billion people that doesn't have clean access of water. 2 billion whom do not have electricity. 3 billion that have never used a telephone before. And, the telephone is about 100 years old!! I don't like the kind of world I live in where people are lucky to be born with an abudance of resources and some are not so lucky... | |||
