    Kidicious: have you ever heard the quotation, "I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will fight to the death to defend your right to say it?"

    That sort of thinking is the basis of liberty.

      That's because you're a ****ing ******. Go read Mill or something. Have you been living in a cave your whole life? Have you ever HEARD of this thing called liberty? Religious freedom? If I'm a Christian, should I support laws banning homosexuality? The concept of liberty is that, if your actions don't harm anyone without their concent, then I have no ****ing right to stick my nose in.
      We aren't talking about things that don't hurt other people. I don't give a **** about that.

        Woah, there young Kuciwalker. Chill. You might wanna think about a quick edit.

        edit: too late.

        The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

                No you didn't. You managed to quote the post I was talking about. My post was a suggestion that he remove the "****ing ******" insult, which is poor form.

                  I need to know why one person is using a labor saving devise and they other isn't. That in itself isn't fair, especially when the labor saving devise allows one to make more money.

                    Oh, well. It's a sure sign of the strength of his argument.

                      No, but it is a sign of his rising frustration. It's something I've dealt with when I've argued with you, so I sympathize.

                      That being said, I'm closer to you on this one than the Libertarians. I'm pro-free market under normal circumstances, but I figure if a state of emergency is declared, there should be special rules, including rules regarding price gouging.

                        The question is why just price gouging. It seems biased to me to be against price gouging, but not the free market in general.

                          Because, Kid, I'm not an extremist (like the Libs and Commies). I can actually see shades of gray.

                          A natural disaster creates such a gray area where my overal system of choice (open, loosely regulated market) doesn't work as well as a different option (additional special rules for the duration of the emergency only).

                          It's called an exception, Kid. They do exist. Now, before I get sucked into this thread (or have I already ), I'm outta here.

                            How frustrated do you think I get? I don't call people retards. I just think of a better way to explain my point. Honestly calling names is a good sign of losing an argument. It means that you are very upset about losing.

                              Or is it that price gouging hurts you personally, where wage expoitation doesn't?

                                It's a good sign you should step back and consider leaving the argument. It doesn't necessarily mean you're losing (although it certainly can be that). It can just be the frustration of "debating" an opponent who irritates you, for whatever reason.

                                It's definitely poor form, though, as I said.
