Honky Letterpress CDs at amrep bored

[John Schuller]

You took a lot of time to ramble on about .. nothing.   You haven't added anything to this thread, other than pointing out what capitalism is not, and a minor grammatical error.   You appear rather dense and condescending when you miss what people are saying, and nitpick with the literal meanings of certain words, without taking a position one way or the other.  Yes, it is understood that buying multiple copies of limited records only to flip them immediately is not capitalism- you've said it two or three times, and no one is disagreeing.  The point is, it rubs people the wrong way when one person buys multiple copies, only to resell them, and then comes her and acts like a dick about it.

No one really cares if you buy melvins cds and resell them; it's legal.  You just don't have to be an asshole and come here only to rub it in other fans faces, who for one reason or another couldn't buy one at cost.

Zoiks!  Relax!  I'm not nitpicking, I'm trying to understand...hence not taking a position.  It's called reason.  Settle down!

I haven't missed what people are saying considering it amounts to zilch.  People are making arguments to justify what they do.  I'm interested in this.  I just would like to see better arguments for it, but I'm not the one making them, I'm trying to understand them.  It'd be nice to do that without being called names.

Yeah, it's upsetting to have people rub it in your face.  But the question is whether or not their actions which they are celebrating are justified.  People express their position here without justification and then people say "I agree" or "I disagree".  In the latter case, they express a different position but never justify it beyond the level I've pointed out.  If that counts as "a ramble", then egads.  If I've added anything, it's a demand for better reasons.

Jeez dude. You tell me to "Read a Book" and then you want to cry if someone calls you a name. Seriously - who cares? You are on the Melvins board to see "better arguments so that you can understand them"....blah blah blah - it's fucking music dude. Since you obviously work with "reason" - how is it that you actually think your demand for "better reasons" is at all reasonable?

Seriously, go start a "I want to have highly intellectual discussions about the Melvins board" and go on with your bad self. I am sure you will be a hit.

calmer than you dude.

Zoinks?
what am I dealing with?
I stand for freedom.

I agree w/ Charles Bukowski in that..

It's not that I do not like you or your false allegations..
It's just I like life better w/out your retardness.

People here make enemies of their potential allies before even realizing they are allies.  And all it took was a few words.  Zoiks was an understatement. 

Okay, so you buy more than you "need" in order to have more negotiating power over items' worth than you would otherwise. If more were available others would be able to spend significantly less on them.  Of course, they don't have to buy them etc. etc.  But, if more were available, they'd be cheaper than buying them from you since you've created a context where people are more willing to spend more. 

"Standing for freedom" doesn't mean anything.  So, you put your child through school.  That's a decent reason.  You want to ensure your offspring's well-being at the cost of others who are willing to purchase pieces of plastic at retardedly inflated prices.  You're happy, they're happy.  What's the problem then?

Well, others might not think it's worth their having to pay more in order to get a copy of something.  So, they don't have to buy it.  No, but that's not why they're upset.  They're upset because you and others like you have changed the rules of the game they wish to play.  It's called an externality--a by-product of your transaction. 

See, I don't actually disagree with your position PinkySlim.  It's just that I've learned that anyone who talks as much shit as you do, responds with things like "fag, vagina, cock, etc.", is obsessed with their own body image, doesn't have the brains to actually think about what it is that they're doing beyond their own interests.

As an actual American, I think bastardizing terms like "freedom" or "capitalism"  by using them synonymously with greed and maximizing one's own gain by changing the nature of the game is an insult to my country and economic system.

You actually have the energy and time to care about an insult to your country and economic system? Get a life brother. I think America will hold up just fine without you having to get so emotionally involved.

Goodness this thread got pretty interesting real quick. The factors involved are fairly thought provoking too. There's not gonna be an agreed upon conclusion here of course but both sides do make compelling reasoning.

Xaiool, I'm not gonna explain this, man

Thanks.  I was worried for a spot there.  Seems like some folks around here took rhetoric and irony lessons from the man.

[monts]

Jeez dude. You tell me to "Read a Book" and then you want to cry if someone calls you a name. Seriously

It's called passive aggression.

[FartLips]

Pinky don't care, pinky don't give a shit!

You are just adding a cherry on top of the situation by getting upset about how she conducts business.  Just don't buy her shit. Plain and simple. If you really want to get upset at someone then let it be the melvins for letting her have the opportunity to buy so much to begin with.

I am not selling mine. 

BTW I thought the AmRep people couldn't spell, but the CD cover is indeed titled "honley!" - I wonder if this s an intentional error or a fuckup?

[jules]

AmRep have never fucked up.
