    Already asked and answered in post 79. Don't waste our time rehashing points already answered. Nobody is fooled.

    You should never say never because all I have to do is find a single example to the contrary and your statement is false. If you wish to cite examples of price controls failing to work, be my guest. But you can no longer be careless with your rhetoric and maintain that they have never worked.

    Ad Hominem, both a logical fallacy and an irrelevance--attacking the speaker rather than his statements. You belittle your opponent to distract attention from your ineffective arguments. No one is fooled.

    again, ju
    i dont need to be carelful when i say price controls never work, just like when i say that 2 plus two is never 5. you cant give me one single example in human history when price controls worked. not one. go ahead, try. yur example of wartime is when price controls are not meant to benefit the people, its th opposite! they are meant to force people to have nothing so they dont consume and everything is taken from them and sent off to war. the whole point was to make people poor!


    there is n no argument. the economic reality is that price controls are political tools that help get people elected, while economists know they are counterproductive. this is established. the more interesting question is whhy red is ignorant. so i am curious if you have any knowledge of economics or whatever. i keep pretty detailed records of what i read (i have a written list f the last 70 books i have read), and maybe 10 percent of it is about economics. so i was wondering if you have ever read anything or have any knowledge whatsoever.

    i have no interest in the economic question, that is answered. the question is why is red ignorant. and i know the answer to that as well.

    Already asked and answered. Either come up with something new or be ignored.

    No I have never read anything and I have no knowledge whatsoever. :rolleyes:

    And you have no argument whatsoever, only lame insults, speculative ridiculousness, and irrelevant rhetoric. Take your dollies and go home.

    oh god so stupid.

    you cant prove the ancient egyptians never watched i love lucy. i was right, you really dont understand the simplest facts about logic. you dont even really understand the structure of how logic works. to prove this thing about the egyptians, you would heve to prove so many things, like that time travel doesnt exist and that god didnt give them a tv, all of which is totally unprovable. how could you not know this?

    next time i wiont win the debate so destructively if you dont make ludicrous claims. just accept when you dont know something and accept that when i make sweeping statements like "x is never Y" that i know what i am doing.

    Don't be a total fool. Electricity did not exist in ancient egypt, TV did not exist in ancient Egypt, Lucille Ball was not alive in ancient Egypt, all of these are provable facts indicating that ancient Egyptians did not watch I love Lucy. There is no need to prove time travel or God to prove this negative.

    You will literally argue against anything that I say, no matter how ridiculous you must act to do so. Let me try something . . . the sky is blue.

    Not a chance. I will demolish your unsubstantiated rhetorical claims as usual.
