Bartering

It's as if you're imposing something upon me; it doesn't work like that, Mister!

What may be good for the goose, may not be good for the gander.

ANONONE, I think what the ladies are saying is they do not want to get hit up for pussy everytime they order a milkshake. Yes cash can be used for barter but some are willing to just pay the stated price and move on.

Could you please explain how would that be "bartering"?

She already paid him for his services, and then he's using HIS money that she used to pay him to pay HER in return for her services. Now, you tell me how's that bartering, and, where are you going with this?

Okay, so since irony is lost on folks. . .

What difference does it make if you use a green piece of paper, a chicken, or the eggs that the chicken someone else bartered with you to make a new transaction.

Stop acting like bartering is some inferior form of economics.

If anything it is simply more expedient. Heck, you are even being green when you barter!

The notion that it somehow makes you "cheaper" by exchanging a product or service as opposed to a piece of paper that represents the value of that product and service is just silly.

You are usually more adept than this WTF.

Paper currency is merely a common unit of exchange. Barter usually replaces money as the method of exchange in times of monetary crisis, when the currency is unstable and devalued by hyperinflation.


If anything, I would argue that the milkshake holds its value a bit better than a greenback in this economy.

In fact, Lynette stated:

A product or service I gain through bartering will not earn any interest, and in all reality, is likely to lose value almost immediately.

Seriously, let's break this down a bit. If a provider simply sticks those greenbacks in a mattress they will be worth less in a short time than they were when she first received them. This is exacerbated when then government is spending money like a drunken sailor on liberty. Those printing presses are smoking right now. That is why they are almost always instantly converted into something of more lasting value like an investment, or a collectible good that will appreciate. At the very least converted into a consumable product or service that has instant value.

Thats not what I am saying. I agree with you 100% about the value of greenbacks.

You are missing my point.

Women, at times, do not want to barter their hoochie. It should not be an acceptable form of conversation. A lady does not want to order a milkshake and have the man behind the counter say..."Lick my balls and I'll add a extra scoop!"

That is all I'm saying. Yes everuthing can be bartered....but there is a time and place.

Until someone awoke this from the dead this morning, didn't we all kind of agree to disagree on this one 3 weeks ago?

I get that, as long as we are admitting that it is an artificial mental buffer that gives us comfort. See, now we are back at Douglas Adams.

Kind of like how paper money is greasy and creepy. Just imagine where some of those greenbacks have been.



I am thinking a chicken, or a hog might actually be a cleaner and a more civil form of a transaction.

What may be good for the goose, may not be good for the gander.

Speaking as a gander, I think you may have meant that the other way around. But then, maybe you didn't. . .

Were you offering to cook for me? I am actually not a big fan of any sauce.
