patent (v.)

So pro-business. So pro-markets. So pro-liberty - pickle MU - 11/29 07:08:18
     lol and you say you are anti monopolies.(nm) - SuperTone MU - 11/29 07:44:04
          Monopolies are not natural market occurrences - pickle MU - 11/29 07:50:09
               In a true free market monopolies would abound. - DHighlander KC - 11/29 08:00:35
                    How do you define monopoly? (nm) - ummmm MU - 11/29 09:42:27
                    That is woefully ignorant and incorrect - pickle MU - 11/29 08:10:54
                         Once again you are clueless. Monopolies form when a quality - DHighlander KC - 11/29 08:34:51
                              Wow, what a weird concept of a monopoly you have. - ummmm MU - 11/29 09:44:55
                              that growth is fostered by patents and govt protection. (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 11/29 09:43:32

                         the origin of the word is not "misused"(nm) - SuperTone MU - 11/29 08:12:44
                              RE: the origin of the word is not "misused"(nm) - pickle MU - 11/29 08:17:02
                                   "single" "sell" nothing about government.(nm) - SuperTone MU - 11/29 08:18:28
                                        RE: - pickle MU - 11/29 08:24:45
                                             So in other words, you didn't go back to the origin - SuperTone MU - 11/29 08:30:03
                                                  "right" is the key here - something proferred and protected - 90Tiger MU - 11/29 09:44:58
               and again, your "not natural" claim has been debunked - SuperTone MU - 11/29 07:51:22
                    It hasn't been debunked - pickle MU - 11/29 08:02:39
               So shouldn't the government fix their problem and then - SuperTone MU - 11/29 07:50:51
                    The government should get out, yes - pickle MU - 11/29 07:56:36
                         the concept of gradual is completely lost on you.(nm) - SuperTone MU - 11/29 07:58:00
                              There are no shades of grey in Cucumber boy's world. - DHighlander KC - 11/29 08:05:21
                                   My views and beliefs are morality based - pickle MU - 11/29 08:14:57
                                        They also have zero connection to reality.(nm) - DHighlander KC - 11/29 08:35:47
                                             That's an immature response - pickle MU - 11/29 08:46:07
                                                  No it is 100% correct. The fact that it hurt your feelings - DHighlander KC - 11/29 09:04:41
                                                       It wasn't even .000000000001% correct - pickle MU - 11/29 09:11:12
                              You didn't say anything about gradual - pickle MU - 11/29 08:03:21
