Barter Or Money?

All you have to do is pull the starter cord clean out of the machine and kick it very hard.
After you fix the cord they won't let you near it ( a bit like putting the new pair of jeans in with the sheets when you do the washing) never fails mate

I have 2 breeding sows and a big lump of a boar.
2 litters a year normally average 50-60 for the freezer each year.
I tried to run poultry but them damned foxes killed them

There is an English book "The making of the working class" by EP Thompson. Outlines the move from barter to the deliberate creation of an economy.

Basically, crown would own the land and let the commoners use it. The land was known as "the commons" and everyone could use it however they wanted to raise livestock or farm.

"The commons" were taken away from the people, all of a sudden people couldn't support themselves off the land - because they had none! And this is where trading on a large scale stops - as people are forced into factory work (see, this is also the start of industrialisation, factories need workers) - factory jobs pay the bucks which are then used to buy the things you need - rather than trade. - EP Thompson's point was the working class was deliberately "made" - hope I simplified that in an understandable way.

Anyways; only way to get rid of money would be to return to localised farming communities which were largely independent of each other.
- Which is possible if transportation of goods becomes too expensive or otherwise impossible!

The reason man invented money is because bartering works so poorly. If you have a way to centralize bartering in a community of 20,000+, it will work "better", but still very inefficiently.

If your "local level" is a fishing village, a barter system with everyone only having fish to trade just won't work for long.

Ever thought about writing a book trout..I think you'd be on a real winner but you'd probably have a few good

What the heck is that I didn't think they made belt fed m1's.

it's not an m1..it's a..secret nah it's an skk or sks can't remember sorry, we were playing one day and thought we might get a reaction from people like I just did I can't help it the made me do it..I want to be good..really I do

I hope that was a pick of somone elses firarm cos we ain't allowed to own these anymore because of that limp lipped John Howard that banned semi automatics in this country.

Yeah I'm not happy 'cause it's gone along with the .22 semi the semi shotgun and well quite a few but I can't see with all the crap still going on all these years later what the problem was except he wanted to disarm us because he knew what they were about to do and they thought there might be an uprising but I think we lost that after nam or after they broke the waterfront

So no they're all gone now along with a lot of our other freedoms, another is crackers but if you never new we had them you don't know what your missing..gee I feel old

Anyway I can head shoot a roo at 300m with me little .243
Reload your own ammo and you know where they are going to land

Lucky your me mate so I don't have to worry or do I isn't that what they want..now I'm paranoid of trout with the guns and swords

I hear ya trout but don't speak to loud or they might hear you and then you'll be then then

It's funny I was going to ask ages ago how many ADF or ex or on here..I think there's a few more than I thought

maybe we do all have the same feathers It trips me out sometimes how it's like looking into a mirror on here
