Yeah. I talked to my father. He has a degree in Political Science. Basically, when you deposit money, and so does everyone else, the bank has a pretty large amount of money. When somebody takes out a loan, some of this is "rented" out, and they are charged interest. The interest is how the bank actually makes money.

Now, if everybody took out all their money at the same time, there would be problems. For example, when the Great Depression struck, everyone tried to withdraw all their money when the economy started to fail. Since it was all taken out, the bank ran out of money, and many people could not get their money back. I'm sure there is much more restrictions to prevent such occurrences in the current day, but that's the general gist of things.

Again, that banner seems limited due to using some specific template. We would have a lot more freedom with the banners if they didn't have to use that template.

When somebody takes out a loan, some of this is "rented" out, and they are charged interest.

If this is true, it's the equivalent of buying money. Give 100$, expect 105$. You just bought 5$. And nothing was produced in the meanwhile. And the bank made no effort. No work...

Erm, what? This really makes sense. How are you "Buying" money while taking out a loan.

That doesn't mean they have to share them, especially if they are next to useless in any aspect.

Stop being a dick. If you don't like someone's opinion, then don't post. They can share them if they damn well please, especially since it doesn't break any rules. They are encouraging the author, and that provides a meaningful purpose. And then there's people trolls like you, who only want to impede whatever goes on in here. If you want to contribute, by all means, go ahead. Don't be a smartass, just follow the goddamn rules.

Well, sorry for trying to improve this place's post content. I personally think that it could be spruced up around here.

I didn't know where the driver installer CD was, so I just hooked it up to my computer. When I plugged my cam in, I tried to check "install everytime" option, but it's full of shit..

What did you think the CD was for?

No, the other way around. The bank (or any other lender) buys money because they lend 100$, and demand 105$ afterwards.

Congratulations, you've figured out how loans work.

It's a fee for using their money.

Their money? How is it theirs? Someone earlier said that it's the bank's clients money they are using. But another one said that money is created at the very moment they lend it to you. In other words, they create money out of nowhere, ping!, and lend it to you, and they charge you interests. No work, no effort, no sweat, no risk.

Now, I ask you a question. If you could create money indefinitely and charge people interest on it, at any rate of your choice, do you think it would be fair for the others?

Once you deposit your money into the bank, its theirs and they can do whatever they want with it. You're account stores how much you're entitled to withdraw from the overall sum.

Posted by Trax

You borrow money, you simply have permission to use that money. You have to return the money at some point. A percentage of the money loaned to you is then added to the balance as a fee for using someone else's money.

And where this percentage is supposed to come from? You pick it in a money tree? Suppose that the initial 100$ you borrow is real money. The 5$ added to it, as interest, is created from nowhere. It didn't exist before. So where are you supposed to find this 5$?

Your daily income.

I've never had Corn Flakes.

As for cereal, I eat Smart Start cereal... it tastes good, and it is rather healthy.

Who the hell cares about how healthy their cereal is.

Where does money come from, then? Black Lord said the opposite a few posts ago. And even if we assume they use the clients' money (which is probably not true), they are still making money with fantom money, which should be considered illegal...

What is wrong with you.
1) The money comes from the US Treasury. Duh.
2) Black Lord doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.
3) The bank uses the clients' money for transactions.
4) There is no "phantom" money. Its all real money. I have no idea where you got this idea.
