eh? Just been trying to get you to answer a question that directly relates to your position. You often just disappear when you can't back up your comments.

 The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism.

I actually just haven't read it. br yeah....OK. Well, just to make it easy for you, here is the question again.
Who's business is it to intervene in a private compensation agreement between 2 adults? If you agree to mow my grass for $20, even though you know it will take you 5 hours, is that anyone else's business brian. why or why not?

I realize this is about minimum wage, but would it also apply to things like prostitution? Gambling? In other words, at what point, if any, should the agreement between 2 adults be deemed illegal?

In your example the person mowing the lawn would be a business owner. Their is a huge difference between being a business owner and being an employee.

Mr Gray, In your example the person mowing the lawn would be a business owner. Their is a huge difference between being a business owner and being an employee. That person doesn't have to be a business owner to mow my lawn. And besides, it is still a private compensation agreement either way. You can speak in technicalities all day, but show me how it is anyone's business if 2 parties agree on compensation for a job?

Makes sense. I'm trying to think of other things that might be exceptions and if so why or why not. How about selling drugs? I mean obviously drugs are illegal, but if it's just me buying some off of my buddy and using them in the privacy of my own home, then technically it shouldn't be illegal?

I don't think that should be illegal either. The case against drugs is that they have an overall negative impact on society, but I believe that freedom should trump that. If you want to make the case that certain heavy drugs should be illegal because the user becomes a danger to society, thus potentially impacting other's freedoms, then I believe the answer is tougher punishments for the crimes he/she commits on drugs....not the use of drugs themselves. Allow us to be responsible for our actions, and ultimately we will become more responsible.

Let me ask your opinion on something and this isn't a trap question. I honestly don't know the answer. Which do you think is a better deterrent for something like drugs: stiffer penalties or regulating them so much that they're difficult to attain in the first place? Personally, I suspect both methods are equally ineffective.

Make ANYONE receiving government money take random drug tests. Fail a test, and you lose your benefits. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Is your reasoning that if they can afford drugs, they don't need benefits?

I agree with drug testing welfare recipients, but I think you are WAY off in assuming that welfare recipients are such a major drug use group that that would have any impact.
