I would wish for the entire world to return to the barter system. :)
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

This is the cruelest thing that you could ever do.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Dear god why?
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

I can't think of a good reason for doing this.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Maybe she just really wants to be a prostitute? :unsure:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I'm pretty sure there is an easier way to do that then reduce humanity to poverty.

Yes, just being a prostitute is an easy way to do that.  Following that with nukes would reduce humanity to poverty again.

Dear god why?

Because then only the people who can actually do or make something will be valuable and everyone else will be dead and gone. :)

Sorry but I like the 21st century. Perhaps you can take yourself to Montana and leave the rest of us well alone? :hug:

Oh, good; let's roll back the Industrial Revolution while we're at it.  Also, dying at 43 was pretty cool.

Given that this is all theoretical, seems silly to do such a thing. Especially since Montana doesn't work on the barter system. :P

Yeah but I think you are theoretically stupid and that seems like a good out of the way place.
