With money, people are going poor, and living in streets. That is telling us that money is bad. But witout money, you would go to a grocery store and just take the food, and there would be a food shortage, and people would starve and riot. Money causes problems, but if there was no money, people wouldn't work, and if people didn't work, no one could make cars anymore, or process food to buy, or invent new medicines to make the world a better place? Is money good or bad?

Money isn't why some people are poor and have no jobs (which is still bogus, because they COULD go out and get a job). Greed and human gluttony is the real problem. Blaming money for starving people is like blaming your pencil for misspelling a word.

Money is only a "vehicle" whereby we are able to "barter" one service for another.
Before money there had to be only one method to obtain a service or product that one did not or could not perform for oneself. BARTER!
If one were a farmer and needed clothing or even fabric, one might trade produce for that product, or any other.. ETC,ETC,ETC.
Duhhhh, ever heard of the Chicken Ranch in Texas? The Best Little W-house in Texas? Money was scarce during the Great Depression and sex was bartered for chickens.
Bartering still goes on today in some circles, much to the dispair of the IRS. No taxes are collected on the value of services traded.

I think money is a good thing because it is how our society function. But the way money is used and what some people will do to get it is bad. Money is only paper so therefore it's not bad . The love of money is what's killing us.

Money is bad if you do not have any and good if you do. It is the use of the money that is either bad or good. Not the actual money itself. Like spending on a war or spending on health care, you decide which is a better investment for your money.

Money is neither good or bad...it is what people do with it which determines good or evil. Lack of money is neither good nor bad...what people do without money determines good and evil. You can not place an ability or emotion on an inanimate object.

Money is simply a form of exchange. It has no value other than what we give it in exchange for goods and services. The U.S. Dollar is simply our standard. The problem of poverty, starvation, etc... is caused by problems inherent to our society.

Money is neither good nor bad. People and the way they use it is where the bad and good come in. So people are good or bad not money.

money is simply an abstract representation of that which we have produced, so for anyone to say that it is evil is to say that production is evil, and frankly production is a necessity to keep a human alive. and that which fulfills a mans life is the good, that which drains it is bad.
