Of course, and you can only skip over so much that I have said before I lose interest in you totally. Do you concede the Gulf of Tonkin was a lie? |
youre still not getting it. im not arguing a lack of veracity behind your statement(s), i am denying that they hold any relevance to the other conspiracy theories you like to use them to validate. the fact that you dont see this is also kind've the point ;)
as for the rest of your nonsense,

read occrider's posts in THIS THREAD which should answer some of your concerns. |
that's all i have to say. your refusal to admit previous errors on this topic is all i need to know about your capacity for honest research (or lack thereof).
edit: you can also follow his explanations in this thread if you really care. |

Alright, I'm assuming you're going by this definition of a product or something similar:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_(business)
By that definition, a vagina and women are products as they can be offered on to a market [aka prostitution]. Nice value assumption there eh?
So I wouldn't call something that lacks inherent value a "product." In this case, I gave you an example of something that does have inherent value but I still would not call it a product, perhaps if I was a little ed up in the head I would, but I choose to avoid repulsive values and ideas. |
a woman offers the services of her vagina. ;) in that case i guess it depends on whether you consider a service a product, or whether a product has to be tangible.
While i don't agree with the proposition that a product can (or should) be defined by whether you find the product objectionable, nevertheless, I understand your reasoning. |

I own one, I don't use it anymore though. Only to build credit (make purchases that I know I have the money to pay for), since the system demands it implicitly. I never remember Adam Smith endorsing credit so I wouldn't call it necessarily capitalistic in nature. |

There was no such thing as debt credit when Adam Smith was alive. |

I'm late to the game on this line of commentary, but I would argue that the credit card company offers you a service (to facilitate your purchases in a convenient manner, with the obligation to pay them back some or all of the revolving debt balance on a regular basis, at a cost). i.e. they offer you a product (revolving debt) for a price (the interest rate and fees you pay them, particularly if you do not pay off the balance).
I ing hate my Amex card.:whip: |

the service they offer is keeping open the line of credit. The product they offer is the money they are giving you to make purchases. I wonder if lines we are drawing are too arbitrary. |

Which would also make it harder for him to endorse yes ;) ? But wait a second:
