Show me a citizen who needs morals or needs law in - RayKinsella1922 SEC - 6/12 11:59:04

is morality objective?(nm) - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

- 6/12 11:40:41

No, it is subjective. Each individual has their own moral - ummmm MU - 6/12 11:54:12

Even those themes seem rather subjective - Spanky KU - 6/12 12:00:59

neither 2 nor 3 are theft - pickle MU

all smart people would disagree with you(nm) - Spanky KU - 6/12 12:48:44

how does one "overcharge" for a product? - ashtray UF - 6/12 13:00:17

Seriously? Let’s say the price for ground beef is $2.00 lb - Spanky KU - 6/12 13:10:35

so the butcher committed fraud - ashtray UF - 6/12 13:16:23

Overcharged - ashtray UF - 6/12 13:20:07

so CNN decides what "overcharge" means now? - ashtray UF - 6/12 13:35:21

Try using the English language...CNN did - Spanky KU - 6/12 13:57:10

I did use the English language, regardless of CNN's misuse - ashtray UF - 6/12 13:59:59

wikipedia is not a dictionary... Try again(nm) - Spanky KU - 6/12 14:15:56

wikipedia isn't the source - ashtray UF - 6/12 14:37:45

There are not sources cited.. try again(nm) - Spanky KU - 6/12 14:42:07

Then Bastiat's paradigm would essentially devolve to - JeffB MU

- 6/12 12:21:07

Jeff, even among idiots your idiocy would stand out (nm) - pickle MU

- 6/12 12:44:51

That would be pretty embarrassing for you, given that you - JeffB MU
