Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Except it does. Nearly all societies before the invention of currency worked on a lend and trade basis, depending on how close they were. Human nature genuinely isn't greed. That is a learned condition for those not born with BPD or a sociopathy.
And yet we've developed faster and faster until this point with no signs of slowing down. Do you really think you don't have it a million times better today than somebody living in a time of barter and trade? Back when infant mortality was 50%, and disease had no cures?

Correlation without even a hint of causality isnt exactly a good argument.
