Don't think that day dreaming drug users that loaf around all day and wish for a better life get it.....it requires work and dedication to fulfill even your most grandiose thoughts and visions.

Have you read Think and Grow Rich? Are you astute to the principle of autosuggestion?



Whoa, this thread just got weird.

ridicule is the core defense of intolerance and ignorance.

It is comforting to know that my detractors are focused on destructive and oppressive powers, and thus they will remain.

Someone might have just offered you, the greatest gift you might ever receive....and you focus on negative.

I am so happy I approached the day someone suggested that I read "think and grow rich" with an open mind. Just read the book and practice it and then just sit back and see how "weird" things really get and then judge my words.....and im not talking about smoking pot.....lol

My mind is focused on empowering and building up others through positive reinforcement, and thus I will remain.

Read the book Corndog....I dare you its about 245 pages long. Is that too much work for a fresh understanding of your inner being and having a successful attitude and work ethic?

You won't find too many better role models for success than Andrew Carnegie.


I hope you find your way out of the maze society has placed you in, and you become the person you really desire to be

Did you even read what I wrote? YOU AND I get "deposits" (in the form of paychecks) totalling "thousands" each month. BUT, we do NOT in-turn get to INVEST "thousands" each month *because that money has other places to be once it lands in our hands*. The money doesn't sit still long enough to "enrich" North Dakota in the manner described in that article.



Dude, that bank is an escrow agent for the state treasury and like 600 plus others. Good god. 1 minute misworded detail doesn't make the entire thing wrong, or make believe, or fantasy. Again the more you post about it the more it seems you just don't like it.

I get that you guys don't want to believe that it is as advertised but you're wrong and will just have to accept it.

You really don't get that at all.

The ads are all over tv there. And the brochures and handouts they give you detailing every public good they offer when you become a member also detail that stuff. The below market loans, what they do with tax money, etc, etc.

That's called marketing buddy, not an operations manual. But if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you.

Uhm again you are wrong. The tax money does get deposited into bnd. And they do invest money back into the community. The more you post the more it seems like you just don't like the idea of a state run bank regardless of the fact that it works well.

It doesn't matter where the tax money is deposited. That doesn't mean anything.

Lots of banks invest money back into the community. It has nothing to do with tax revenue being deposited. Banks are required by law to "invest money back into the community" regardless of who is depositing what there.

You are right about one thing though. Central banks work well. But not because of the fairyland bs in that article.

You are getting trolled hard imo. At least I hope so.

lol Read the book.....trolling

But read it because you want to....not because you think your getting trolled, your mind will be closed and you will miss the true understanding and only pick up the topical points (which are very good also).

Here is a starting point

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Think_and_Grow_Rich

I guarantee that someone will read this post and decide to read and practice the book and it will change their life.

But you're not thinking it through.

If I "deposited" a million dollars into YOUR account tomorrow, you'd be happy as could be...until you learned that as part of the terms of accepting that deposit you ALSO agreed to ensure that roughly $9,999,000 of that money is to be sent elsewhere by you within the next 1 to 30 days.

Sure, with the right software to track when the inflows and outflows occur, you would indeed have some money to invest. And I'm sure there's a fee structure in there as well so that the bank doesn't have to exist solely on short-term investments.

But any idea that because billions pass through that bank that billions are "invested" into North Dakota communities is just silliness.



And all of the above doesn't even begin to get into the fact that if "safe banking" were so safe and reliably profitable then EVERYONE would do it. There's an entire industry built around managing even slices of the entire "risk" pie. I applaud that bank for what its done, but its not doing what that article claims in the manner in which the article claims.

History tells me that money is safe in northern banks.

So the article, as I stated the first time, accurately depicts what that bank does in a general sense. Cool. Thought so. Yeah it doesn't get into specifics, but again, as I stated there is no misinformation given in that article. You just don't want to agree with it for two reasons. Lurchy posted about it, and you don't agree with it ideologically. It works very well, and you and Cuiv don't like it. Cool.

That's about the dumbest response to my posts that you could offer.

Could you please attempt to respond to anything *specific* that I posted in regard to the mechanics of how deposits don't equate to wealth or unlimited investment opportunities?

That article didn't say anything like that either so I don't see how that's relevant. My point the entire time is that in a general sense that article accurately portrays bnd, which it does. Yes, it's not specific. So what? It works, very well, and could work in every state. So what's you're point? They worded 1 detail in a manner that you don't like, big deal. You're just shitting all over it because Lurchy posted it and it isn't in line with your ideology of how a bank should operate.

Why do you keep claiming this? Larry and I have both stated that we think it works well and that we like it, multiple times.

If someone writes a ridiculous article about chocolate, I'll point that out. But I'll still like chocolate.
