Re: Paying a homeless person to eat dog poop

Are you suggesting that "pure capitalism" excuses immorality?

I'd imagine that what he was saying was that it was a voluntary exchange of cash for services. The services rendered aren't by themselves inherently immoral, unless you have strong feelings about the sentience of dog poop. One can debate whether it was truly a voluntary exchange, perhaps, but I think that if you accept that it was then it's hard to find too much immoral about it. It's definitely distasteful, though - literally! Wocka wocka wocka.
