great example, thanks (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 5/14 10:49:08

- 5/14 10:55:49

No, you don't get it! They would totally put ethics ahead - StaleyTiger MU - 5/14 11:01:51

Straw man. Businesses who rip off consumers don't - 90Tiger MU - 5/14 11:04:22

There's also the self-preservation element. - DC Jayhawk KU - 5/14 11:08:24

How many businesses who rip of consumers have been - StaleyTiger MU - 5/14 11:07:14

Sure, and if gvmt wasn't watching? They could simply notify - 90Tiger MU - 5/14 10:58:06

lol (nm) - KCT-BoneTiger A - 5/14 10:57:46

more "i need government" response, nothing more - 90Tiger MU - 5/14 10:58:31

The market makes tons of money off fixed matches when - tgr MU

- 5/14 10:41:00

Then people shouldn't use these services if it is inherently - 90Tiger MU - 5/14 10:43:01

I don't accept your premise that the free market will fix - tgr MU

- 5/14 10:44:25

then people can choose to not participate. it really isn't - 90Tiger MU - 5/14 10:45:41

The implies that consumers would be aware of any wrongdoing - StaleyTiger MU - 5/14 10:38:59

I don't trust gvmt to ensure any of that (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 5/14 10:40:08

Especially the DUI checkpoints - Eggs MU - 5/14 11:03:10

I know they prevent me from driving drunk (nm) - KCT-BoneTiger A - 5/14 11:09:46

You need laws to prevent you from making dumb decisions?(nm) - Eggs MU - 5/14 11:20:16

You do not think that speed limits, DWI laws, etc.. reduces - KCT-BoneTiger A - 5/14 10:50:24
