Answer a QUESTION with a QUESTION

[xDominiel]

What if I need it all?

 

[tree]

Have you considered offering a non-material trade?

 

[xDominiel]

You mean, like, a credit system?

 

[tree]

Wouldn't it be possible to barter services?

 

[Totallysteff]

Bartering would be a simple way of swapping goods, but is it a fair system?

 

[tree]

Wouldn't that depend on the scruples of the individuals who
were doing the bartering?

 

[Totallysteff]

How would you determine the value of services rendered?

 

[tree]

Wouldn't that be a process of negotiation
between the individuals involved?

 

[zurb]

Are any individuals here already involved with bartering?

 

[Totallysteff]

I used to barter, it was hard to determine the value of bartered items, how do you figure the value?

 

[tree]

How about by flipping a coin?

 

[zurb]

Would I use the numbers shown on the coin? (10¢ on one side, 2013 on the other)

 

[xDominiel]

Surely it doesn't matter what you use as long as you can tell the sides apart?

 

[tree]

Isn't the point how you feel about the outcome?

 

[Myway]

Who cares about the outcome?

 

[zurb]

If people didn't care about the outcome, would they get anything done?

 

[Myway]

What do you think?

 

[xDominiel]

About this topic in particular, or just in general?

 

[zurb]

If she meant generally, wouldn't that be changing the topic?

 

[Myway]

Why would I change the topic?
