It is astonishing that someone could get this so obviously wrong and be so unaware of how clueless they are:

No they aren't. They are a barrier to trade. If you consider the government to be a trader in this context you are a socialist. At the very least, you are about as from from the principles of free market capitalism as you can get. polite_gandalf wrote on Feb 27th, 2014 at 3:15pm:
Certificates are not the product of interest. They are part of the barrier to trade. polite_gandalf wrote on Feb 27th, 2014 at 3:15pm:
No it isn't, because the whole point of free market capitalism is that the government does not dictate who is allowed to participate in the market by issueing certificates and saying who is allowed to sell them and for how much. Again, you have no concept at all of what free market capitalism is. You see goods and money changing hands without people being shot and assume that means it is capititalism. It isn't. You have no clue. polite_gandalf wrote on Feb 27th, 2014 at 3:15pm:
The buyer is also the loser. The potential customers are also losers. Everyone loses. polite_gandalf wrote on Feb 27th, 2014 at 3:15pm:
It is the opposite of capitalism. |

Is that why you move any new threads about Muhammed?

yeah, do as he says, not as he does Gandalf.
Anything less is obviously a sinister Muslim plot to take over Australia through Shariah law |

Gandalf deleted this thread from the Islam board.

Apparently. Is anyone willing to defend his view that this Halal crap is a textbook example of capitalism in action?

Now Gandalf is trying to get this discussion back on the Islam board, but he still hasn't figured out how foreign governments banning trade and setting up regional monopolies within our borders goes against the spirit of capitalism:
polite_gandalf wrote on Feb 28th, 2014 at 9:34am:
Certificates are the only product of interest in this case, and until you understand that the trading in certificates is the only relevant point here, you will continue to be confused and continue with this bizarre game of histrionics. - QLD abattoirs want to buy halal certificates - for what purpose is completely irrelevant - MUI sells said abattoirs the certificates it wants. - MUI gets greedy and charges exorbitant fees for these certificates - abattoirs respond by boycotting MUI and starts looking for better deal Its really that simple. Confusing the issue with irrelevant details like monopolies and foreign governments is nothing but red herrings to the central point I was making. [/quote] |

Nope, halal crap looks more like Nazism in action to me.... |

Gandalf often complains about 'argumentum ad Hitlerum', but when you worship someone who goes round slaughtering Jews and preaching anti-Jewish propaganda in the street, what else can you expect?

Ajax was demanding I dig up the evidence for another thread, and I realised that little gem should be included in here.
