Messed up TC. How do you view rape victims

Id sympathize and wouldnt hold it against them, but with that said I wouldnt marry someone thats been raped.

Age effects us all, but so does wear and tear. Thats why I prefer younger women who still have their virginity.

I cant believe its so hard to find a woman who hasnt had sex with multiple partners by 25. I find the thought so off putting...

Still feel the same as I did when the purchase was announced: it's not a big deal. Timed exclusives are a possibility, but it would be stupid of them to keep their major IPs on Xbox and PC only permanently.

Still think its crazy you think its fair that people can become multimillionaires just because their dad died.

Youre literally saying that people should get 20% of their familys worth. Where would that money go?? Our government wouldnt distribute that to needy families. Seriously, dude. Whats the trend that you see everywhere you look? Money goes to the top and it stays there.

Why would you rather the corrupt ass government steal it than give a chance to some have-not to maybe inherit a million and take care of his family?

Heres my issue with your line of thinking: youre going after people who are just trying to leave their kids a few million. Those people deserve every penny. Inheritance should ONLY be taxed if youre literally so rich that youre an elite. Dont ruin the life of some Everyman who just wants a chance to make it.

Youre arguing incompatible lines of thinking.

Everyman =/= Inheriting multi-millions

It can be. Doesnt matter if you like it or not. Why do small inheritances trigger people so much >_>

The American Dream is to work your ass off, save money, have a say in your government, retire, and leave something to keep your family going. Facts are facts.

No one is against leaving something to keep your family going. I just dont think you should never have to work again because your dad died.

My point is that if your goal is to prevent people from being independently wealthy off inheritance, you could keep it a lot higher. $50k really isnt much money

50k untaxed and then 80% tax on anything above that. If youre leaving multimillions/billions thats still a lot of money.

$50k means you dont have to work for like... a year or two

Thats a crazy low amount

If theyre adults they should be working anyway. If theyre children their guardian should get money to take care of them from the inheritance until theyre of working age.

Nooo thats not heckin fair! I deserve that money!

I dont think anyone is against inheritance full stop in this topic. Its not fair that someone could be given enough money that they never have to contribute to society because a relative was successful. Neither is it fair that someone could earn rights fees for work they didnt do.

Inheritance of wealth is fundamentally incompatible with meritocracy.
So yes, we live in more of an aristocracy.

Yes, that makes sense to me. What should happen to inheritance in a true meritocracy? Go back to the state? I dont think that will ever fly in America.

Depends on how they earned it. Running a successful corporation or investing, sure. Dodging huge taxes, while shorting out stocks and stealing from countries, you can fuck right off.

There isnt a billionaire that hasnt done those things. By the time you can become a billionaire without doing those things, a billion dollars wont be impressive.

It would be more unfair to deny parents the right to bequeath their money. Its theirs.

To a point, yes, but I dont think you should never have to work because your daddy died. Maybe like a 80-90% tax on anything inherited over 50k

Sure why not

If you do something that scales enough to make you a billionaire, society is going to be better for it

Every dollar a billionaire makes was given to them in exchange for something the customer wanted more than that dollar

This is such a naive view point.

I work to support my kids, to give them a better life than I... Im sure most of these authors felt the same, after all its their work

Is there not a line though? Theres certainly a differ between leaving a modest amount of money or a house for your kids to give them a head start and leaving tens of millions. Being made a multimillionaire because your dad died is different, no?

It doesnt have to be millions either. Why should your kids or their kids earn thousands or hundreds of thousands a year because you wrote a popular book. Theyre earning money for nothing. Surely that fucks things.

Its not all or nothing.

I saw a tweet saying all books should become public domain after 30 years and it descended into authors saying fuck that all their royalties are going to their kids.

Is that fair? Should you be rich because one of your parents or grandparents wrote something that made a lot of money, or owned something that made a lot of money?

And if so what can we do to prevent it being bad? Inheritance tax? If so, how much?

And if you think inheritance is bad and no wealth or asserts should go to descendants what should happen to businesses, property and other assets when the owners die?

Ultimately its a necessity when you can change your gender at will. If they restricted the romance options based on your sex at the time, it could fuck up the rest of the game when you decide to play the next section as a dude.
