'Ariel'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My summation of the discussion would be "Sean didn't mean any harm by it! He just likes playing with the idea!"
A miscommunication between the lines, or something.
These are people whom I would like to kick in the hindparts, or possibly rip them off.
Rip off their hindpants? Is that a penalty or a reward?
Also, I don't think you should talk trash about those people's economy. If they value the gift card at over $25, that's their business. Poor things.

If that baby dragon has seven heads, then I'd suggest avoiding long term investments.
For money, or literally ripping of hindparts, Nutty? Because, see all I understand about economics is why Stringer Bell read "Wealth of Nations". Violence I get. Actually, since I get money from the government, I don't exist. Economically. So maybe I'm not ignorant so much as full of fuck-you.

No good can come from that.

I'd like to respond to that, because I think in part you may have misconstrued some things I've said, I may have mistated some things, and I may have, in fact, contradicted myself at times. But I have to go away from the computer, and don't have time to assemble a cogent response.
erika -- when I was going to lunch today I passed a church that said "Check out Jesus. He's alright" and immediately thought of you and The Wire.

This too.
Even if our two strawmen did nothing but meditate, one would be willing to pay $X to make the other quit breathing through his mouth or wash his feet or whatever
That's not very null, is it? My thetical (and oh-so-impractical) society doesn't have any intersecting values placed on anything. Nothing is ever exchanged.
Stealing--does that imply an economy? Would a null economy proposition require everyone to be self sufficient? Or for it to be a commune like environment where everyone gives and takes from the same big pool with no limits placed on what one can give or take? Would that still be null?
"Check out Jesus. He's alright"
"Jesus is just all right with me . . ."
Connie beat me to it.
