Yeah, then they start to sell you false products for profit
Then I die, or sue them.
Cause hey, it's not illegal
and probably buy form somewhere else, too :p
It's not illegal to false advertise, atleast not until it was regulated
Yeah then that new store does it too
Cause again it's not illegal
advertisements aren't an agreement.
Codes, you will never "win' this one. He's got a pure argument. There are no holes until real life happens and he wonders how it ended up this way. Or maybe he really does die a happy martyr for his cause. Or maybe he gets lucky. I'm a woman so we all know we're risk averse. I bow out of this one and suggest you do too, Codes.
What's written on a box is not an agreement
The irony is that after he dies, we regulate to keep more from dieing
It is when that's what they are saying I am buying.
So it wasnt even for his own cause
Then unicorn snot is illegal, even though it's just a kids toy
His whole world is built around Caveat Emptor.
Cause it's not actually unicorn snot
You are not getting what is written on the box
It's a breach of contract, that you never signed, now you can sue them
sure.
or they could put "not actual unicorn snot" on there somewhere.
not regulation,
it's contract.
You see, you cant sue for something that isnt illegal
That's the irony
Regulations exist, so you can sue, or your family's can sue
you believe a contract is a regulation?
If they didn't, there is no legally binding contract that says they have to sell you what's written
Its implied through regulation
I mean, sure if you signed a contract everytime you leave a story
If I am walking down the street and I decide not to punch someone in the face, is that me regulating?
I guess your golden
But no one does that because regulations imply the contract exists
It is easier plus saves time and legal fees over bullshit
Just makes it easier to punish wrongdoers to regulate certain bad things
But I mean, when everybody dies because of salmonella I guess its okay
Only ones who matter are the rich
ya, we don't use the same language codes, sorry.
*hug*
@DrYuriMom life, liberty, and property. Undue deprivation of any of these should be investigated. Almost any valid crime is some combination of these matters.
In the case of lying about ingredients, I don't think requiring more open information stifles competition, I believe that creates a more liberal and consentual arrangement between buyer and seller. Hence why fraud is fraud.
If someone knowingly puts antifreeze in cough medicine after deaths have occurred, there's an argument to consider that murder. If the matter was not researched ahead of time, that's neglectful homicide. In cases of medicine, there should absolutely be a standard of research expected. My issue is with the protectionism Big Pharma partakes in. That drives prices and kills people, too, when groups like Bayer/Monsanto are able to directly influence the body that regulates the food and medical industries.
Further reading, your arguments seem to lean towards acknowledge of some sort of corporate form of thought crime. Even with our current protectionist model, we still have phen-phens and the like.
A fair and free market is not without regulation. That regulation just has to be kept light and reasonable.
