Laissez Faire capitalism has got to be one of the most retarded economic philosophies out there. You'll never get a free market, libertardians. Cry some more.

  • Sometimes I wonder if people really think a market with no regulations would be anything other than a grindhouse for consumers. I can imagine all the contaminated food and dangerous drugs on the market.

  • Instead of being condescending, how about you discuss your position?

  • [quote]Instead of being condescending, how about you discuss your position?[/quote] Sure. There's a book called "Economic Facts and Fallacies" by Thomas Sowell. Read it (Sowell's "Basic Economics" would be an excellent choice as well).

  • That's not discussion. Why do you even post if you don't want to talk about it?

  • "Your opinion is wrong, please read (Insert random economics book here)" This is directed towards you, I'm not rephrasing what you said. My point is that you're being a condescending prick when you assume that someone isn't informed on the topic when they have a different opinion than yours.

I see it all the time on these boards. Some kid arguing for/against something he doesn't entirely understand. It's painfully obvious when this happens. As if educating yourself is "condescending."

  • Sometimes it's best if you educate yourself. That way you'll have a better understanding of the opposing philsophy.

  • The whole point in this thread is to discuss positions, not tell someone to read a book.

    [quote]Except this is a forum...[/quote] Therefore suggesting someone to study about it themselves is not acceptable? There's a lot to grasp, and impossible to explain thoroughly(as hard as I try) in a forum post.

  • Yes but a forum is for discussion. Waving it off and saying 'read a book' is counter-productive to point of contributing in the first place. I have no problem with recommending a book - I absolutely love to read. But for God's sake, he could've said something contributory.
