Buyers are just buyers. They don't affect the risk profile of supplying at all. Thanks to the caring government, illegal drug trade is very profitable. Any attempts to regulate the market and make jail sentences longer, both for sellers and buyers, increase the fees. Karl Marx once wrote that for a 300% profit there is no crime a capitalist would not commit. Especially when victims ask for the crime to commit over and over again.Quote from: grahamgreene on September 08, 2012, 12:05 amYes, risk is a FACTOR in prices charged by sellers, but what dictates the price is what the buyer is willing to pay for it.And if the buyer cannot pay huge prices charged by sellers, he will be told, "If you don't like it, go away." I think I heard it already. None of the sellers in their right mind would reduce their profit taking risks into account. If the buyer is addicted, he will just sell drugs. And that would be not the worst outcome. He could kill anybody to get money, for example. If the buyer can pay huge prices, the buyer will be willing to pay huge prices for the drugs delivered safely, in lieu of buying cheap alternatives and spending his life in prison.Quote from: grahamgreene on September 08, 2012, 12:05 amAnother way to look at it is that you're stating the following: that imprisoned buyers are the ones that dictate the prices because they want to pay more money for something that has a higher risk of putting them in prison. This is absurd.Not putting them in prison. Keeping them out of prison.These are the regulation mechanisms, which you and other commoners substitute with agorism.Quote from: grahamgreene on September 08, 2012, 12:05 amQuoteGo on! Go on! I'm already applauding here!I presume you're applauding because you think I'm going to write out a long description of what agorism is, only to be met with a 3 sentence reply from you that makes absolutely no sense and isn't backed up by any logic whatsoever.You misunderstood me. :DQuote from: grahamgreene on September 08, 2012, 12:05 amAnother 0.2 BTC reward for anyone that can figure out the meaning behind that. I'm going to hazard a guess and say that English isn't your first language?go talk to yourself. I have zero tolerance to imbeciles.You can't answer the simple question that spurred this entire debate, you show a clear lack of understanding of any of the concepts we've been trying to discuss, and you throw an insult at me simply because you don't wish to debate the issue any further. Nice.For the record, when I asked if English was your first language it was a genuine question. Your grammar and your inability to grasp concepts that I have explained at length would suggest you're not 'getting' everything due to not understanding every word I used, so I assumed English isn't your native language; hence my offer to strip my posts down a little if that were the case. I was just trying to be helpful, but apparently that makes me an imbecile.You, sir or madame, are an absolute gem. ::)If you'd like to discuss the issues further, please feel free to PM me. I'm genuinely interested in the bizarre logic that you're employing to arrive at your conclusions over the last few posts and would like the chance to break things down, if possible.- grahamgreene
