[quote][size=4][u]So what is The Freeconomy Community about? [/u][/size]


- It's about making the transition from a money-based communityless society to a community-based moneyless society.

- It's about helping others and providing an opportunity for others to help you.

- It's about sharing the skills you have learnt through your life and learning those you haven't.

- It's about sharing your tools so you all can have access to all the tools under the sun without it costing the earth.

- It's about using any free space you have to either benefit positive, ethical and local projects, or to enable volunteers to keep doing their amazing work for free.

- It's about sharing the land you don't need in order to facilitate a local food community.

- It's about freeconnecting neighbours.

- It's about learning to help each other again.

- It's about getting ready for a post peak oil world.

- It's about making dinner for a friend who was yesterday a stranger.

- It's about keeping money out of the equation.

- It's about communicating face-to-face and phasing out technological communication.

- It's about putting the soul back into society.

- It's about helping each other not for profit, but just for the love-ofit.[/quote]

- It's about rewarding mediocrity.

- It's about enabling the laziness of others.

- It's about wearing Birkenstocks and sleeping naked in the woods.

- It's about letting freeloaders walk all over you in the name of kindness and charity.

- It's about giving a man a fish, rather than teaching him to fish.

- It's about people who just don't feel like working for a living and believe that everything should be handed to them on a silver platter.

- It's about communism, and it doesn't work.

Sorry but this concept won't work. Someone somewhere will get tired of someone not doing their fair SHARE. Sure after a nuclear attack there will be some sharing and bartering going on.

[quote][b][size=4][u]Freeshare[/u][/size][/b]

Freeconomy is essentially about sharing - not only is it good for us as humans, it builds friendships and community spirit and helps save our natural environment. We, in freeconomy, see Skillshare and Landshare as vital to our future. However there are now a number of ways in which you can share and hence do your bit to make a better world through the freeconomy community: ([color="#FF0000"]for Landshare click here --->[/color] [url="http://justfortheloveofit.org/landshare.php"]LINK[/url])



[size=3][b]Skillshare[/b][/size] is about sharing the skills you have learnt throughout your life and learning those you haven't. With peak oil approaching and climate change occurring more rapidly than most expected, we believe that being part of a closely knit community with a diverse group of skills could well be the security of tomorrow. Skillshare provides brilliantly for such a scenario.



[size=3][b]Toolshare[/b] [/size] is an initiative which enables members to have access to every tool under the sun without it costing the earth. Members of this scheme in each local community get to name the tools they are willing to lend to other freeconomists, which then means they have access to the tools of fellow freeconomists. Not only do all freeconomists then have access to a huge pool of tools, it costs both you and the environment a lot less. And as a pleasant bonus you get to meet more of your neighbours.

We do recommend however that anyone borrowing a tool / electrical appliance ensures it complies with safety regulations first and also knows how to use it safely as we want this to be an accident free community!



[size=3][b]Spaceshare[/b][/size] is ideal for people who haven't got enough time or money to support projects they really believe in, but who have got some space to offer. This may come in the form of a room offered to a volunteer worker to enable them to continue to do their work unpaid for longer, but it may also be a small bit of office space you can lend to an ethical organisation or a space for your local community to hold courses. It's completely up to you, but if it has got a roof and is being unused, then make use of it for the benefit of our world.[/quote]

I lived in Amelia for 6 months, and in that short time it became known to all my friends as "fucking Amelia" because that's the only way I referred to it.

Maybe I shouldn't be so mean...I once forgot a load of laundry in the dryer at the apartment complex and somebody actually folded it for me. As if I would have done that!

Nice idea on paper, but human nature ruins it every time.

There is always that one lazy guy that doesn't do shit. Then people get pissed. Productivity plummets to the LCD (lowest common denominator), which of course is the lazy ass. Now you have a nation of pissed off workers, with the average production level per worker... of a lazy ass.

Again, nice idea, but especially given that Americans are getting fatter, more stupid, and LAZIER. I don't see it catching on. Except with two groups. The idealists. And the lazy asses.

Totalitarianism would be more likely for America's brand of sheep.

A response isn't necessarily needed. It just bothers me how he comes off as so much above everyone. He knows how everything in this world works and we're just a bunch of uneducated fools. Reality of the situation is that he's been in college for like 17 years now and probably hasn't held down a job any higher in the food chain than bagging groceries. He has no family to support and really has no responsibilities other than having to have his homework in on time...........although I'd suspect in this day and age teachers aren't allowed to give kids deadlines on their homework because it may stress them out too much.............and BJ is the type of person that would be on the front line fighting for that type of shit. Nah, no response necessary. He can feel free to respond when he gets his ass out of school and gets himself a job and has to support himself, a wife and some kids. Until then any response would just be a bunch of hot air.

[b]- Actually I am on my 7th year of college in a PhD program and only 25 --- and completing the steps pretty much as fast as one can (had a masters degree at 23).

- I have no contact with my Dad and my Mom is poorer than I am. She also doesn't help me financially.

- I have a job and support myself with it [i](I don't talk about it as to avoid the Squeeler haters from fucking with my career)[/i] and have lived on my own for 8 + years since I was 17. I have also worked and had a job since I was 14 while going through school.

- How many kids do you have ? Just because I don't have kids I supposedly can't advocate for others sharing things they don't need or offering up skills or services for free to help others.
