September 5, 200619 yr I agree with the first law of physics: "Everything that's fun costs at least 8 dollars." Obviously the person who invented that law has yet to dig through a bargain bin.
September 5, 200619 yr Therefore, when you say you need money to buy a ball, this is not correct, as people in poorer countries may 'make' their own balls out of cloth, etc., and does this require money? No. Yes people in the poorest of the poor areas might make their own ball, but when was the last time you made one or even saw someone using a home made ball? I'm willing to bet that any time you have played football you either used a ball that you or someone else bought and therfore not free. But thanks for the defintion of the beautiful game there, I had no idea of what it was before you told me....... By your arguments almost anything that we can do these days can be free in a way, but unfortunately it doesn't work that way. Im not arguing against or for anyone here but.. the only reason he buys a ball is because he can. friends are free :thumbsup: Trix.--quit WoW as of 12/07Thank you 4be2jue for the wonderful sig and avatar!

Obviously the person who invented that law has yet to dig through a bargain bin. it is a quote from cartman on southpark. in the tom cruise/scientology episode, so i dont know if you will see it on tv anymore.
September 5, 200619 yr a hug is free \ Depends on who you ask. Everybody lovin' it, but ain't no body touchin' it
September 5, 200619 yr u can earn money, then buy sumthin with it :P gettin the money from out of nothing :P
September 5, 200619 yr Runescape is free :) It isn't, what about electricity and internet costs? :P Looking to a sunset is free.. You're on the right track. 8-) Like Anesthesia's point that relationships in practice cost money, everything costs if calculated with a formula. If you look at the sun, you still had to walk to the spot to watch it, to do it, you needed energy, -> you needed food, -> you needed money. Even if you take just a few steps away from your home door to see the sunset from a good spot, you consumed a few calories. In theory it would be possible to calculate how much money was spent on those calories, admitting that it would be a fraction of any sensible amount... Personally, I think that the best things in the world are relationships, now how does that cost anything? Let's see... True love, I assume that means a human of the male or female gender (not to say a domestic animal can't be loved but that's another story) Regardless of gender, but I assume a female, the person will want to eat. You will most likely provide her with restaurant meals. Once in a while, you will probably give her a gift. If you get married, you will spend possibly thousands of dollars on an expensive, (in practice) useless wedding ring. You will buy flowers or other gifts, which cost money. She will want to live. You are most likely paying monthly rent or you paid money for your own house. You will probably take her to an amusement park or some other entertainment avenue. That will cost you money you wouldnt've normally spent. After a while, the woman can be demanding and you will be spending money on her new clothes, shoes, etc... u can earn money, then buy sumthin with it :P gettin the money from out of nothing :P Unless you have your own kingdom and tax the hell out of your people, you probably didn't get money "out of nothing". :P Before work, you have to eat. It costs money. You have to sleep. I assume you don't sleep in the forest, your apartment costs money. You might assume "but I still got more money than I spent on living costs". True, but what you lost was your energy and a fixed amount of your labour force. While you spent 8 hours mowing lawns to get $250, some other person just got $500,000 in 1 hour by selling away his stocks on the stock market that suddenly burst in price.
September 5, 200619 yr ^^ well if we went by that everything costs something therefore this thread is pointless. How about we dont go into the specifics you were just talking about? I kind of want this thread to continue. Trix.--quit WoW as of 12/07Thank you 4be2jue for the wonderful sig and avatar!
September 5, 200619 yr Heh, you're right. 8-) Let's see... 1. Taking walks and camping is free, at least in most countries. 2. Swimming is quite neat, it's usually free too. 3. Ehh.. Public events are free? Well, yeah... To experience the more 'spicy' things of life you would probably need a bit of money... But yeah, things like love are highly appreciated by people and since love's just a concept, it's free. You could argue it's one of the best things in life. But the coolest things in life, now that's another story...
September 5, 200619 yr This reminds me of a video/powerpoint thingy I saw once: The kids were in a class and the teacher told them to list the 7 wonders of the world. One kid said the Great Wall of China was one, another the pyramids. The teacher asked this student what she wrote, she said these 7 things. Ability to touch Ability to see Ability to taste Ability to smell Ability to care Ability to love Ability to live. "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."
September 6, 200619 yr Ability to touch Ability to see Ability to taste Ability to smell Ability to care Ability to love Ability to live. was she deaf? /just saying :P
September 6, 200619 yr Nothing is free. It just depends on what you spend on it. Either it be money, time or love. Any hockey fans out there who wants to chat, just send me a PM!!!
September 6, 200619 yr Ability to touch Ability to see Ability to taste Ability to smell Ability to care Ability to love Ability to live. was she deaf? /just saying :P :lol: Bill Hicks[/url]":dhj2kan9]Since the one thing we can say about fundamental matter is, that it is vibrating. And since all vibrations are theoretically sound, then it is not unreasonable to suggest that the universe is music and should be perceived as such.

Then maybe it would sadden you to know that i have played with a ball handmade, so as much as you would like to support your false initial arguement, maybe stop, and think, before you again get rebutted. thanks, and hope you now know the definition of soccer. 99 Ranged F2P achieved 21 November (2961st)
September 6, 200619 yr This is going to be funny. You challenge the single most witty person here -a respected mod even- who knows probably what the size of Cruyf's shoes were when he was 16. Phil can talk you home whenever he wishes, and if there would be a chance he couldn't, he still has his evil modding powers. *awaits Phil's disturbingly calm reaction* Bill Hicks[/url]":dhj2kan9]Since the one thing we can say about fundamental matter is, that it is vibrating.

September 6, 200619 yr Author imaleber always wins... : I have never played with a homemade soccerball but I saw somewhere on tv or the internet a documentry about soccer and it showed me. The kids that played with it where so happy. A guy from A church came to our school and talked to us about his new foundation or something(they bring bibles to the poor towns in africa and spread the word of God),well anyway he was talking and during it he told us that they were so happy even though they had absoloutly nothing.

Well last December i was part of a trip to Cambodia with The Tabitha Foundation. It's basically a non profit organisation where funds are used to help the poorest people in that country. Anyway, while i was there, the first thing i noticed apart from the depressing conditions, were the bright happy faces of children, who were playing "soccer" with a "ball". Although old and tattered, the "ball" although free, brought enjoyment for many of them, and although they were later delighted to see that our minister bad brought them a real ball, it was evident that soccer would have been a great source of fun for the children. 99 Ranged F2P achieved 21 November (2961st)
September 6, 200619 yr stuff You can consider the time spent in creatin the ball as lost money; the time could have been used to earn money. That way it is not entirely free, also the material could have been sold, or the ball itself. But if I keep going on about details like this, nothing of course is free.

Exactly, but it's a good point. It's the reason for the phase: "nothing is free," which can be easily argued. 99 Ranged F2P achieved 21 November (2961st)
September 6, 200619 yr suiciding is free. you don't have to buy a rope, there are many other ways. and it is fun, you feel like flying afterwards. and it is even more fun if you can survive death!!! (ok, sorry for nonsense) well, i cannot think about anything fun and free. even robbing isn't free, you need guns. RS f2p'ing isn't free either, you pay for electricity and internet.
