    What exactly are you saying then, are you simply acknowledging that people exchange goods and services for various prices? We knew that already. Are you saying you do not approve of certain prices that some people pay or charge for things? That's cool bully for you. Again I advise you to not engage in transactions that do not please you.

    I have written my true thoughts very clearly and I have said neither of those things. You made them up.

    Who cares about your advice? We are having a discussion here and you are simply trying to stifle my free speech. Good luck with that. I can comment on anything I wish and I surely will.

    Ok. Well I just want everyone to know that I saw a guy pay an amount for something once. Fascinating right?

    Was the amount the guy paid the other guy for the thing reasonable?

    As a matter of fact it wasn't!

    Well Actually I guess it was according to him, the plot thickens. This story rules.

    So did the one guy in anyway force this other guy into the transaction with the price that you, an uninterested party, thought was too high?

    Dude, get this, you are not gonna believe it. Both parties voluntarily entered into the transaction. I do not approve. But that's just me expressin my opinion. I don't think they should be regulated at all, I just think its awful personally. Trade for mutual benefit is a bullshit concept as far as I am concerned.

    Halloween run makes a valid point. Red making a non point about salary is derailing a thread because it isn't a political issue what people pay each other any more than it is a political issue what reds favorite color is.

    It's your derailment with the little schoolyard skit with Supa. The notion that I can't have an opinion on executive compensation is ludicrous. Period. End of Story. You are just too incompetent to argue your point, so you resort to the usual mocking an jeering, which may impress the class at recess, but reinforces the childishness of your position to adults.
