Black People Politics : Do you think this is fair?

[Keino]

You mentioned survival in a previous post. Cane sugar isn't necessary for survival. Economics is something else entirely.

It sure as hell provides a means for survival.

You are solely basing work on the type of yield it produces.
This is incorrect.

Would you mind giving some examples?

Work is work no matter if the yield is fruit, vegetables, candy, or Federal Reserve Notes.

My opinion has not changed on this so its futile repeating it.

You have no rebuttal. Got it.

Its not my fault you choose not to see it lol

I said labour/work was equal. That's not to say that it is labour/work, just that there's no difference to account for a difference in candy. I'm staying on topic.

Are you sure about staying on topic?

It takes labor to go up to each and every house to acquire candy or other goods.

Assume you live in a forest. This forest produces fruits and vegetables in abundance. Unless you move to pluck; pick; or dig out such food, you'll starve.

Sure the labor is less intensive, but it is still some form of energy expenditure.

Your response:

In this situation, your girlfriend 'works' when she goes to the shopping mall and uses your credit card in 100 stores. ;-)

How is the above a demonstration of you staying on topic?

The same way one comes upon forests in a discussion of trick-or-treating.

Review above.

Work is kind of like "pornography." Not so much to be defined, but you'll know it when you see it.

As Halloween doesn't violate "Child Labour Laws," it's not work.

So you have no clear cut definition of what is or is not work except for your arbitrary whim, correct?

It's all about the real-life situation. Have you ever trick-or-treated or come upon a child's collection of candies? As far as I understand, children don't eat off the candy and instead their parents 'share' the candy with guests.

This "real-life situation" you describe ... still a presumption.
The probability is high yes, but still a presumption.

Keino, may I infer from the sum of your posts that working for a master (employer) with the expectancy of Federal Reserve Notes under some general agreement (voluntary servitude) for the purpose of survival is your definition of work/labor?

Why do you ask this when you already know the answer?

Does sugar can provide you a means for survival?
Do most people count on sugar as a means of survival?
So, are you claiming that you will absolutely die if you don't have sugar cane?

Would you mind giving some examples?

If I work/labor to create a vegetable garden, the vegetables produced is the yield.
The yield is the earnings. The vegetables are the expectancy, purpose.
No FRNs are involved, but labor/work was spent all the same.

My opinion has not changed on this so its futile repeating it.

Your opinion is too narrow.
Perhaps you should cease to clean your house for their is no yield of FRNs?

Its not my fault you choose not to see it lol

You continue in your inability to support your position. I still got it.

Confirmation on the validity of a inference made.
This happens from time to time in discussions, right?

Will you answer? Is it a yes or no? Should I repeat the question?
