Do you think Haiti will become a wasteland within the next 100 years?

Why is it impossible for everyone in a city, state, or nation to be wealthy?

It's not impossible, it's just unlikely in a capitalistic society. The key factor that prevents distribution of wealth is greed.

I think that's debatable, but I don't have a bachelors in economics, so I'll let it be.

I think guns, even assault rifles, need to remain available. However, I feel more stringent background checks and registration laws need to be put in place. I think what really needs to change is our culture and our view towards guns. As an example of what that could look like, Switzerland issues firearms to all adult men and trains them in their use. In spite of this, the Swiss have a drastically low rate of firearm related deaths.

my boss is very pro guns. he is a camo wearing gun toting american. my brother in law is the exact opposite. its interesting to hear both sides of the debate when neither is technically level headed. I try to remain level headed, but both sides seem to think I'm "the bad guy" cause I'm not 100% one way or the other...

If you are interested I can give you a lot of facts about guns. Give me a PM if your interested. Most of the fear of guns comes from lack of knowledge and a lack of understanding of natural law.

if your gf killed a guy/girl/kid would you help her out or would you turn her in?

That's fair. It's a highly opinionated issue with no "correct" answer.

What are the advantages of a love-free world? Disadvantages?

State 6 for each.

You sneaky bastard... Six is quite a few.

Advantages:
1. No love implies no hate. This means no war or aggression among men.
2. No more romantic comedies.
3. We could all focus more on our work.
4. Rates of STI would dramatically decrease.
5. Everyone would have a little more money from not spending it on dates and gifts.
6. No more 80's style rock ballads.

Disadvantages:
1. There wouldn't be much reason to live.
2. There would be little or no motivation to have children, so our species might die out.
3. Even if we did have children, we wouldn't raise them well because we wouldn't love them.
4. No more Mowtown.
5. You wouldn't have a significant other or friends to rely on.
6. The secret ingredient in your mother's home cooking wouldn't be there.

I think we can all relate to that on one issue or another.

It's my understanding that you should be able to download Plex on your desktop and login with your previously created account. However, if I'm wrong Plex's has a option where you can consult them, and they should be able to assist you.

if your gf killed a guy/girl/kid would you help her out or would you turn her in?

It depends on context. If it was in self defense or a crime of passion, it may be in her best interest to fight it out in court, rather than running away. If she legitimately murdered someone, whether or not I helped her would depend on why she did it and what condition she's in afterwards.

How's life in America?

It depends on who you are. For me, being in college and having lived in an area that wasn't really affected by the recession, it's great.

Do you play video games?

Yes, but I've found I do so less as I've gotten older. This kind of explains why... I'm a very casual gamer. Every once in a while, a game will come out that excites me, and I'll play through it. Then, I'll go months without playing until the next one comes along.

Why were my posts deleted when none of them broke the rules?

My guess is that you probably broke rules you weren't familiar with or the thread in which you posted got deleted.

How much do you know about Natural law/rights?

More than the average person, but less than someone who actually studies or is interested in the subject matter. I've read and have a working understanding of Locke and Hobbs.

What is your favorite type?? RPG, FPS, etc....

I like RPG's like the Elder Scrolls. I also like platformer games like Mario. About the only games I really don't like are first-person shooters and sports games.
