Not true. You qualified that later.

quote:

What do you think a voluntary transaction entails?


In theory, a buyer and seller willingly entering a transaction with an understanding that they will not knowingly exploit each other.

That's nice, but I don't care much about the economic theory. I care about reality and the reality is that it's open to resulting in a victim.

I'm tired of "woe is me" stories of perpetual criminals.



What about "woe is you" when we waste tens of billions of tax payers' dollars every year on nonviolent offenders. Seriously, how pissed would you be if your tax dollars solely went to imprisoning Jim who was caught with 10 dime bags?

I'm sorry, thought you were educated


Here is the definition of a voluntary transaction. I apologize for not realizing you had some literacy issues and didn't understand a transaction involved more than one person

Voluntary exchange is the act of buyers and sellers freely and willingly engaging in market transactions. Moreover, transactions are made in such a way that both the buyer and the seller are better off after the exchange ...


So maybe this will help you in e future.

Oh, FFS. I know you're more intelligent than this. Read everything again. Ask questions if you're lost.

I read this thread title thinking I would be angry by what happened here, but I'm not in this instance. You can't just stop selling drugs?

ETA: This dude got what he was asking for.

Business dictionary

The free exchange of goods and services between buyers and seller in some sort of marketplace.

term used to describe the foundation of the present economic system. When products and goods are exchanged for other products or services, the result is a trade. Voluntary trade describes a market where buyers and sellers have the right to sell and buy by their own preference or refuse to if they so choose.


Online dictionary

An agreement between two free individuals and/or organizations to buy, sell or trade a good or service. A voluntary exchange contrasts with an exchange that is mandated, for example, by a government. Voluntary exchanges are the basis of a free market economy.

I'm glad you learned something today

By definition, it's mutual.

Do you understand what mutual means? And definition?

It's too late for him. Best to keep an eye out for the next one.

Supply demand. People love drugs and it's good money. You go to jail, someone takes your place.

It's likely that he agrees with you about most everything in life.

Point out where this changes if one side misrepresents something.

To analyze crimes? Weird.
You know that I meant. If you criminalize something minor and common (say Jay walking), then when that is included in the crime data with things that are clearly not minor (violent crimes), it's dishonest to use that to as further justification to expand the police state. It's self-reinforcement.

Yeah he's a crotchety old contrarian. Hard to tell ignorance from stubbornness at times

He's not really that old. He leans libertarian but loves Hillary.
