What would we do without the internet?

Or you could do the even older thing - grow your own. ;)

 

Of course, this could be shopping if you wanted it to - I just don't think the ground would care that much about your money . . .

Actually, you would be paying the ground with a different currency. Water instead of coin. ;)

True - a more and more important resource.

 

Of course, you could also put the money in indirectly via fertilizer . . .

 

Although I suppose bills might decompose after a while, leaving some starches and fibers which could eventually help the soil, though I'm not going to gamble on it. :)

Plus, isn't it a crime to destroy money? :P

If the government does not value it, why should anyone else? hehehe. I really do not understand why the government gave up their right to coin money and handed that VERY powerful control over to a private company (Federal Reserve)...but that is for another topic/discussion.

If the internet was destroyed by some virus created by some turkey, i'd go nuts and grab my .338 winchester and hunt that son of a b**** down!

 

Don't worry, I think you'd have plenty of time to find him before he could get to all the tubes. :P

Aussies might be finding out soon just how that will be if the filter and censoring goes ahead as planned. It will start small and grow like a weed without said fertilizer.

 

Don't think the US and the UK are completely immune. In my thread I linked to a US site saying both countries are very interested in what's happening here and are looking to implement something similar.

 

This is the page with the news article from a couple of days ago.

It won't, I hope, be a complete shut down, but a lot of people will be severely affected by it. The criminals will rejoice. They will just go on merrily with what they do and the rest of us pay for it.

 

I remember the days before the Internet too, but I would much rather have it than not. And uncensored.

Yes. And the Democrats are guilty of destroying any value our currency had.

 

As for the interwebs, meh whatever.

Tangible>virtual.

'nuff said.

 

As for the slippery slope argument: http://thenexusforums.com/index.php?showtopic=179

There's a 'net filter, plain as day.

 

You really don't need anything outside a 10 mile radius of where you live, or you live in the wrong place. That's walking distance. All this tech is window dressing. The only thing it's good for is making people soft.

A virus destroying the internet would most likely simply destroy the software side, not the hardware, or at least not all the communication lines and what not, the internet would be back up within a year. Society is more stable then most believe.
