May 20, 200619 yr BBC article Best thing out of this is that at least some kids are learning the basics of supply & demand and how the free market works. Is this evidence that people naturally tend towards capitalism over socialism? Spreading beauty with my katana.
May 20, 200619 yr Same thing happened at my school two years ago when they stopped selling us pop. Lou Gutman, P.I.- It's like I'm not even trying anymore!http://theatomicdanger.iforumer.com/index....theatomicdangerOne billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.
May 20, 200619 yr Greed? if the schools,a nd governemtn weren't so anal about this stuff they wouldn't have to be selling their 'evil contraband'. I say good for the students. I'd rather have someone be 'greedy' than 'controlling'. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
May 20, 200619 yr Hell, when I went on the class camping trip in grade 7(Was more of a summer camp thing, with cabins and such), my mom made me bring like 3 canteens of water. Turned out that the water supply at the camp was HEAVILY chlorinated. Tasted really bad. So I made a few bucks selling the water my mom made me bring. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
May 20, 200619 yr I don't know what's worse; the stories being blown out of all proportion, or the people swallowing it. Either way this thread fails. There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts
May 20, 200619 yr My guess is that Black Markets are usually very free and competative. The bribes necessary to play are usually modest. They don't usually involve much capital though so I'm not sure if they are really good examples of Capitalism. This business of equating "free markets" with Capitalism is just propaganda. Markets are not unique to Capitalism. Socialism and Communism have markets too. " Most private enterprises which people think of as examples of Capitalism seek vigorously to avoid competition or to alter the rules of competition in their favor and generally succeed to significant degrees. So the markets where they play are not really free at all. The decisions about supply and prices for oil companies, for example, are made by a small group either based on communications through trade groups or communications through market signals or perhaps even based on personal meetings (for example, in **** Cheney's office). Oh my. I wish supply and demand was really as simple as Economics 101 makes it seem. As dark is the absence of light, so evil is the absence of good. If you would destroy evil, do good. Evil cannot be perfected. Thank God.
