:roll:

I didn't bring up banking in this thread, you did. So, the burden of proof as to the relevancy of your analogy, is on you. And since this is WAY off topic, and since you're going to ignore my questions, I am not discussing this any further. I think it's obvious to everyone else you came in here to attack me rather than to discuss the OP.

You brought up the FDIC when you were told the reality that private industry routinely does things about their customer's interests, including selling bad noodles. So as I said, you can't explain why consumers would be better off with the FDIC not insuring their deposits, which is simultaneously why you can't explain why a gov't agency shouldn't regulate health standards like this one. Once you say they shouldn't, you can't make the next critical thinking leap into what would happen if you let the reins loose on private businesses to regulate their own health decisions. Hence my analogy to the disaster that was letting banks regulate themselves. I'm sorry you don't know that it's quite on topic. I'm also sorry you feel "attacked" for being asked to back up your nonsense with details and fact.

There's a huge difference between financial regulations and regulations like this on food.

If you can't see this, that's your problem.

You couldn't explain the difference if your life depended on it, and you know it. Too bad you're not man enough to admit it.

/facepalm

You know, attempting to be the on the opposite side of RP on every single issue doesn't make you look smart. It makes you look like a fucking momo.

There is a difference, a big one.

Most people here see this regulation for what it is. Wrong. Yet, they wouldn't feel the same about financial regulations. That's because they are capable of independent thought.

And yes, again, there is a difference between regulations like this and those you're talking about in the finance industry. This one could go away overnight, and it wouldn't matter one bit. You certainly cannot say the same about financial regulations. And no one with half a brain would argue for that.

You've done nothing in this thread but try to derail it and attack me. So, let me give you some advice, kid, get back on topic before someone comes in here and smacks you over the head with a noodle. And stop acting like a fucking momo.

How can you say "kid" yet use "fucking momo" in a sentence? Good god. Not only are your RP-bot positions contradictory, your slang isn't even consistent.

And if you're going to bitch out of a discussion just say so from the outset. Nothing you've said actually says anything meaningful about the OP in this thread, nor does your non-answer about health vs. financial regulation, something you still can't explain despite numerous opportunities. And since when do you side with "most people", who you are claiming side with the poor noodle makers out there, when you're the same guy that laughs when people tell you your kooky positions on politics/economics are nuts because 99% of the planet doesn't use or practice them? Christ, it's seriously amazing to see you can still get up in the morning and post when your shit is so mind-numbingly contradictory. Whatever you do for a living, I hope it doesn't involve critical thinking or analysis. And if it does, quit before they figure it out, jpeyton.
