I can find beer for free in nature? Where?

I don't know about beer for free.  I do know you can find fruit in nature for free, (or on your property).  Then you can buy sugar, lemons, and yeast on sale at the grocery store.  Then you can make a large batch of your own wine for as little as a nickel per glass.  You also avoid the sales tax on liquor. :cool:


I tried a friend's homemade wine once..it gave me diarrhea. :shitfan:

And yet you are unable to come up with an objective measurement for value in order to determine what a rip-off is. My definition is very clear.

I don't need to, the definition of 'ripoff' has nothing to do with an objective measurement of value; value is relative, and so are ripoffs.

True, but that doesn't mean it's correct, or backed up any source. :grin:

Do you know the EXACT markup of beer in a mom & pop store vs. Walmart?

So you don't respect me now because we have a little disagreement? :sad:

If this causes you to disrespect me, then I'm forced to wonder whether you ever even had any respect for me at all. :lol:

Link? Here are two definitions (both with links):

ripoff
Quote:

...a financial exploitation


Ripoff
Quote:

A ripoff (or rip-off) is a bad financial transaction. Usually it refers to an incident in which a person overpays for something. A ripoff is distinguished from a scam in that a scam involves wrongdoing such as fraud; whether or not something is a ripoff, on the other hand, is a matter of opinion.



Like I said, ripoffs are relative, whether something is a ripoff or not is a matter of opinion.

The vendor with the cheaper beer might have a bigger mark-up; therefore ripping you off more than the more expensive beer.

No, because you believe in something that you cannot accurately determine.

True..I thought you were arguing that that wouldn't be considered a ripoff, now you're saying that the cheaper liquor store is ripping me off more than the more expensive one. It's not like it either has to be one or the other, both the expensive and the cheap liquor store can rip me off.

What do you mean? I believe in the definitions I posted; I already told you that I don't believe in an objective measurement for value, and that one isn't necessary in order to be ripped off. Again, whether or not something is a ripoff is a matter of opinion; there is no such thing as a "right" or "wrong" opinion.

I was using YOUR definition to show how totally useless it is. There are NO metrics for a rip-off according to your definition.

If I sell you psilcyobin mushrooms and they are another non-psychoactive species of mushroom, then I have ripped you off. If I tell you the baggie contains 3.5 oz and it contains 2.5 oz then I have ripped you off.

Where does opinion come into play here?

That's because what is considered a ripoff is a matter of opinion; there are no metrics for the coolness of colors, yet mostly everybody thinks some colors are cooler than others. :mushroom2:

For the non-psychoactive mushrooms, my opinion that you sold me a bad product comes into play. For the 2.5 oz, my opinion that you sold me a small amount comes into play.
