Well you have a Competition Commission, which is what we do have.

That would be Big Government, which removes your freedoms and eats your dog. You say you want a free society, but the moment you realise what true freedom entails you suddenly lose the stomach for it.

put your precious 'free markets' or 'fair societies' in a metaphorical boston crab.

Calm down, I'm a Lib Dem!

Competition laws which companies frequently breach if you read the reports.

That's a bit self-contradictory. You can't have a free market if there's a governmental entity that breaks up naturally-formed monopolies.

Don't worry I'm sure you'll mature and grow out of it. It's all a part of growing up, rejecting socialism.

Its all part of growing up, realising the theory in your cushy books doesn't always pan out the same in real life.

Read my post again. If you don't realise what you just did, try reading it aloud.

I wasn't aware that the Communist Manifesto was considered "cushy".

I was relating to the OP's study of economics.

He's not interested in true freedom, or a fair society. He's interested in punishing people for sex as a way to take out his own anger about relationships, and he's using certain parts of libertarianism as a means to an end because his points alone are ridiculous at face value.

Let's not talk about where you study.

Lets not, since it makes no difference to the thread.

Apart from explaining away your rather irrelevant comments. So actually, quite a lot of difference to the thread.

That's rich as chocolate coming from you.

I really wouldn't make comments like that, not knowing his academic background and all that.

short-sighted view on how degrees are taught

Um, I don't think he was criticising the way the course is taught, but rather the institution at which it is taught. Valid point, to be fair.

Then maybe you should keep yours to yourself; since a few A-levels say nothing about mine.

I was referring to the fact that he has posted not one thing of any substance that hasn't been torn to shreds by everyone else on the thread.

He's obviously got a reasonable academic background, but kultist is right; there's absolutely no consistency in his reasoning, and if you have to keep jumping from sinking ship to sinking ship just to stop your point from failing utterly then it's obvious the argument you're trying to make doesn't have a firm base. He could have a PhD in PPE from Cambridge and it wouldn't change that.
