You are a hunter

And I never said it was:

according to this crude analogy most of you seem to think that the free market is a bad idea.
according to this crude analogy most of you seem to think that the free market is a bad idea.
according to this crude analogy most of you seem to think that the free market is a bad idea.

Notice how in this one sentence I acknowledge that this is in no way accurate. I address that you ONLY appear to think that the free market is a bad idea ACCORDING to this analogy which I acknowledge as crude.

Thread dun.

"Crude" is a vague description. "Inaccurate" or "false" is a much more honest way to describe your analogy. Wouldn't you agree?

Ok sure, whatever. Will it make you happy if I just say that I agree with you? You're right BBS, next time I write something on the internet I'll be sure to use phrasing that leaves little or no ambiguity to the meaning, so that pretentious assholes who can't let anything go won't have anything to nit pick.

I'm forever grateful to you for being so open to criticism. There's no need to be so butthurt about misunderstanding free market principles.

[The Bison King]

butthurt? I thought you were the butthurt one since you were so cruelly mislead by my malicious ill phrasing.

I quite like the metaphor, although the lack of food isn't needed. In reality it is more like there are many dogs and enough to feed them tens of times over, yet some still starve.

Is this the "get the last word in" game?

Well like every other thread in here this has devolved from an argument of idea's into an argument of definition and then into a petty match of "who trolled who" so yeah, it seems only fitting that this now becomes a game of who get's the last word.

Also what's all this shit about bags?

I stopped buying plastic bags for groceries and instead use a backpack these days. It's really more convenient that way - it's much easier to carry a backpack than a plastic bag.

However, I don't know if it's doing much good, since I would have used the plastic bags as garbage bags anyway, and now I have to buy bags for the garbage separately.

I still use plastic bags but only cause I use them for cleaning the litter box.

We primarily use our cloth bags, but we do get plastic bags for this also (as they run low).

And here, I remember having to actually take soap or other cleaner to clean out the wastebaskets in the house and having to rinse out the outside cans.

What it really shows is how easy it is for advertisers, marketers to create a need for things we really can do without. And, when you realize how much of our economy is based on people buying just such things.. then its no wonder our economy is now in trouble.

That, too, is why the food analogy is just wrong. We have gone well beyond basic needs, unless you are at the very, very bottom of our economic system..a nd even then, you really have to go outside the US to get anything truly comparable.
