    My opinions on Economic and Social policies (from PnW) irl

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Kadin

    I'm criticizing you. Pot should be legal everywhere. If you want pot, hey, why not? Go ahead and have it! Cops aren't even that strict about it anyways. It has been proven to cause less brain damage then alcohol, and you cannot over dose. Why do you get to choose what goes in my body? Secondly, women should get to choose what they want with their bodies. It doesn't even have thoughts yet. Are you killing a life. Yes. For a good cause? Yes. If a woman doesn't want a kid but has to deliver it, why make a child go through the pain of abusive parents? Why not just end their life before they can think? Especially if the parents don't want them. I mean it is birth control too. Humans will over populate, and food is going to run out. With guns, you have to have a pshycological test to get a permit, in which you can then get a gun. Also, to get the permit you have to take a course on learning how to properly use a gun. Same tax rates? Seriously? I'm no communist but a flat tax rate would be disastrous. Now I'm not saying we tax the crap out of the rich. But their taxes need to be higher. If someone is making 30k a year, with taxes at 25%, they're losing a lot of money! It's hard to live on that in America! However, if you make a million dollars, but you lose 40%, you keep 600k. That's a great amount. 

    All of his opinions are really basic and do not reflect a person who is all that knowledgeable or experienced, and that makes sense since this is a teenage kid we're talking to. I wouldn't get too worked up over them.

     

    I'd say the worst bits are the parts about marijuana, college and unions. Oh, and the religion thing. Instead of all religions getting "equal endorsement," how about no endorsement for any religion at all? That's how it's supposed to work here in the states, anyway.

     

    With that said, he really shouldn't have posted this here if he didn't want people to criticize his positions. Makes no sense at all unless he was just expecting people to tell him how awesome and smart he is.

    Marijuana Legalization

    in General Debate

    Just something I have never been able to understand, for those who smoke it to get happy, why?

    People don't smoke it to "get happy." I've never seen anyone say they smoke it to get happy. They smoke it to get high, not happy. There's a big difference.

    in Alliance Recruitment

    Alliance forums aren't really "untrustworthy foreign websites." They are generally just website with a forum on them where alliance members communicate and where various economic and military programs are found. You are really missing out if you choose not to participate because you are afraid of alliance forums. We aren't spammers, we aren't scammers, we don't want your personal info. It's just part of the game.

     

    Seems that a lot of people who newly register to this game are scared of alliance forums for some reason. I don't really get it, but maybe it has to do with advertising the game to people who aren't familiar with how it works?

    I don't think anyone can diagnose Rose's problem without being familiar with how they work internally, and it doesn't seem fair to speculate without that firsthand knowledge.

    At first my thoughts were along the lines of Kadin's, but I do see the merit in Ogaden's thoughts. It would certainly allow wars to take a little longer before one side wins, and help reduce the ridiculous beatdown effect that makes wars not as much fun and disincentivizes global wars like this entirely.

     

    I think this suggestion has merit, not because I think people should be protected from having infrastructure damage done, but simply because this kind of a buffer would make wars a little more appealing as less damage is done. The obvious counter to this is that you could, perhaps, double the average length of an alliance vs. alliance war and end up with the same amount of damage done, but having it spread out over a longer period of time would likely make the losing nation(s) less likely to just up and quit or be as discouraged.

     

    We'd need to consider the consequences of a change like this in player behavior, though. I think it would lead to less nations using Vacation Mode as a peace mode, it could possibly increase the amount of gasoline/munitions used in wars, and I'm sure it would have other unintended and unforseeable consequences.

    If you want to make war more appealing, then this isn't the way to do it in my opinion. Instead of trying to reduce damage, why not reduce the cost? An increase of improvement slots would go a long way toward making war more appealing as well.

    Can we stop calling each other out for doing the exact same thing?

    I can't help but feel like a war in which people feel it necessary to not attack the parties they actually have issues with is a poorly planned war. From my perspective, the most egregious example of this is the failure of Paragon to actually declare on Mensa directly. Syndicate has played this well, should come out as a winner, and if they do then the fact that they were so proactive in this situation will have been a large factor in making that happen.
