Well, they said cash would be gone by the mid 1990s.

mis calculation of time/events.... ;) ...non the less...look at things now a days...there are FEW places that do not accept CC...god knows how many transactions are done online via transfer and CC...when the time comes...no one will find it as simple to use cash as it used to be

Do u actually believe this nonsense or u jsut trolling around.

did i ever say we were unsafe? no..i said it would be MORE safe...

lets just take it a step further. We can have the government control everything from production to distribution and then each person can have the same of everything and NO MONEY WOULD NEED TO BE MOVED AROUND!!!! !YEAH!!!! I would feel so safe and happy then.


YESSSSSSSS >)

No. It's incredibly gratifying to hold a handful of bills after cashing a week's paycheck.

And the credit card transaction box is any cleaner? Imagine now that everything has a CC, you have to swipe it to buy toilet paper. Swipe it again to get the sink water to run, etc.

But according to you, transactions will be so cheap, so easy, and machines so widely available they will be there. And for real life examples, just look at much of Europe. Pay toilets are common there.

No one really knows why nakedfrog feels his privates. He is naked, so that helps. But what happens when a frog feels his...
