I never liked the Dragonball franchise, so all I can say is that it was inevitable that some american movie compagny would make a crap movie out of it. It was expected, now about every cartoon superhero gets a series of films dedicated to them..

"I argue that Spain used it's incoming wealth to offset it's incoming debt, and successfully. That is a unique period in world history."

Naye, it was used to boost the economy and to wage imperialistic wars. The debt increased, rather than decreased..

"Before the troubles the Church had 100% of the attention, and so little fraud or corruption, excepting at the head imo, but I digress. This faith allowed people to have the faith that things would keep going ok, a unique aspect in of itself."

You missed the point here, I think. The Church doesn't really matter in this affair (at least not as an economic identity). And it was corruption-gallore in those ages, wich is proven by the many state reforms under the same Charles V (and his predecessors and his offspring). You mistook the economic nowledge of the people in those days as well. People *knew* what caused bad times as early as the High Middle ages (11th - 13th century), and over the centuries they gained more and more influence in the state (replacing the nobility), so an overal faith of things going ok was non-existant.

Indeed, hence my point: it's not the determining factor of hyperinflation, but it can be a huge factor...

I didn't say it has to increase. Belgium has had a serious debt ever since the oil crisis of the 70's. But it's staying more or less the same (with a tendency to get smaller) ever since then, while we didn't slip into a great hyperinflation ever since we have it..

"Then belgium is the exception, as a small nation versus the world and several thousand years of history disagree. There your weak and unsubstntiated argument is countered *yawn*"

Oooh! Are we discussing history now, great!
Spain had a gigantic large state debt during the peak of its power and it wasn't a problem for a long time. It flourished economicly, despite of this huge debt. It collapsed when their political ambitions became too great, wich crippled the economy itself. Then the state debt became a problem.
But my favourite is the empire of Charles V, holy roman emperor in the early 16th century (however Spain's situation is very related to him, it's not really the same). His debt was obnoxious, primaly with the Fugger family, yet it was a time of economic prosperity in his empire, until the faith-troubles appeared.

My point, again, being that state debt can drag the entire economy down and cause hyperinflation, but it doesn't have to necessarily do so. As long as the state plays it clever and makes sure the economy is doing well, they can get away with it..

Also the size of Belgium doesn't matter, nor the so called "thousands of years of economic history". The latter clearly proves there's no direct law between state debt and hyperinflation. You didn't counter my argument, you just denounced/ignored it. That's not really discussing it tongue

"You sir are the ONLY opposition poster who can post an intelligent argument, and usually you want to be on my side, but are just such a good devils advocate you can argue from any standpoint. I will be back tommorrow to see your post."

How odd, my post was a solid argument, yet you just ignored it (how typical!)

"To [sic.] bad there are no leftists in this forum who can make sound arguments and stand by them, as well as read and understand my or other conservatives arguments and counter with sound reasoning of their own."

YOu ignore us anyway, as proven in my previous line tongue
