Rawani: That is not a rational response. Eliminating the $2 cups and fixing the original water fountain is the rational response.

pleep:
rolf. miss the point more

Rawani:

Nope. If your point was to showcase the greedy nature if some blacks, you should have framed it better, instead of trying to veil it under a business losing money as a result of black greed, when it is really because of inefficiency and weak strategy. The likes of Bernie Madoff are definitely not black, going by your postulation about black people and abuse of trust, one would then be safe and 'un-racist' to say white people are the greediest people to walk the earth.

pleep: Bernie Madoff is not complaining about people mistrusting him... and if he did it would sound ironic and not be taken seriously.

Just like the black people who repeatedly steal water-cups in my real life scenario. If a tiger attacks you every time you meet one are you not justified in fearing tigers? By that same rationality a store that is repeatedly exploited by blacks is justified in being racist towards them. And by default an immigration system, law system or even government as well.

Obviously the business has decided that it is not cost efficient to repair a non revenue generating item like a water-fountain when they can replace it with cups that cost less then 3 cents each to buy.

Don't strawman my post

Rawani:

How can the business decide it's not cost efficient when

1. By repairing it, it will avoid the new recurrent expenditure of 3 cents x ? number of cups per day. A cost that was previously non-existent.

2. The cost of stolen soda, and negative publicity from the new policy is grossly higher than the cost of fixing an ordinary water fountain.

Rawani:

How about not setting yourself up for attack by the tiger. A man built to seek out opportunity will definitely exploit one when presented.

pleep: Oh my god. Finding someone capable of rational discussion is like trying to teach a gerbil to read.

First off, a brand new water-fountain can cost up to $1000 plus labor which is still more than giving away 100,000 water cups.

Second off, who cares? thats not the fucking point of the thread so Stop strawmanning the argument. There are only 3 factors that mater, the behavior of the black customers, the behavior of the white costomers and the response of the store. If you cannot debate this without deflecting and strawmaning then leave.

Rawani:

Keep blabbing and deluding yourself. Good luck trying to find someone with a matching inferiority complex to help you justify racism. No wonder your thread is dead, racist scum.

itstpia1: And where is a disposable cup retailing for $2.00?

That's your idea of cost effectiveness?

Opuro buruku.

pleep: Its not me with the inferiority complex its you guys.

The ignorant think that blacks will improve our condition when other races stop being racist. This is a negative feedback loop because our own behavior reinforces racism and thus negates any progress we are making when fighting it

Brother,u sound so pathetic n your comments are really excruciating.Are u white coloured?
Im trying to break the feedback loop by changing the only aspect of the cycle that is in our own control. (our own behavior)

pleep: The cups are bought from the manufacturer for 1-3 cents and are sold for $2 dollars. This is because the restaurant is not actually selling the cup, we are selling the drink the customer puts in it.

The cups are considered free when they are used for water, but not for soda.

Either way the fact that you guys choose to focus on the least important aspect of this scenario is evidence that your brains are not mature enough for an actual philosophical discussion. Who cares if its cost effective? its not your store.

Posts like yours make black people look s.tupid.

Posts like pleeps own, get people lynched irrespective of their colour or ethnicity.

Respect55: Brother,u sound so pathetic n your comments are really excruciating.Are u white coloured?

itstpia1:

dont you think its s.tupid to tell customers to "take only water" from the soda fountain while handing them a cup?

why cant you give them the water yourself AND call the central office to come and look at the water machine?

I've NEVER heard of a restaurant being withuot a means to verify or prevent customers from taking soda when they should be taking water.

later you will call the cops ad get someone killed all because of what? A totally preventable situation?

and you think God will overlook that when reckoning your sins?

pleep: I have never stolen in my life and i do not make excuses for others to steal. If someone walks to me and asks for a water cup i give him a cup and expect him to fill it with water. If he fills it with juice he is stealing from me.

This is actually much more reasonable then what is done in Nigeria where a human being can be wrapped in tires and burned to death at the call of "ole"

francleanflexy:
The ppl commenting on this thread seem to view theft as a reflex action, something that is done unconsiously just like breathing.
This issue that the op raised is an indictment to the whole black race and the comments that i see here tend to make matter worse.
Maybe their view is that theft is justifiable if one party provides a chance for his possession or goods to be stolen. For example if a wallet is left carelessly then is deserves to be stolen.
smh

Are you a thief?
