    I have been wondering where you were lol. I have a long weekend, and I have to study for a really big test for Tuesday. How are you doing?

    Its ok! Its really shouldn't take that long if you have like 10 minutes to spare. Im going to write another one soon- this time on the state and slavery. This one is less about the facts and more about the philosophy.

    Sometimes i get a bit passionate, but thats just who I am. I hate presenting in front of peers, but if I am defending my arguments, I dont care who or how many are listening lol (then again, I havent had to debate in front of large audiences, just like a classroom or something). The point of these debates are to further humanity by bettering ourselves and others. To reach an agreement in the middle or to join a different side. All to help others and learn from our past mistakes. When people ignore statistics or facts, or just outright block someone, it really defeats the purpose of these conversations (I have ignored facts in the past, and I regret remaining ignorant).

    I might get back into it for the 20th anniversary or something, but its really losing out to commitments and other interests. It doesnt help that I dont have any friends outside of PC that play pokemon, and that I have sort of been disconnecting from PC (which I need to stop).

    The same goes for you, it's nice to be able to debate without needless hostility.

    There's quite a large number of people on PC who aren't much into pokemon these days, so you're not alone haha

    I want to say that I respect you a lot. I have been in a debate with someone else on instagram. Despite me remaining nice, he blocked me after destroying his arguments (I'm sort of surprised because we are both Christian and I was complimenting him on his detailed apologetics posts). Im really glad you have the decency to show respect in spite of our differences and still being a friend. Not a lot of people have that.

    I wish we could know other teams better, other than the main two ones to be honest, so I dont have a favorite.

    I really need to start playing pokemon again and posting more often on the pokemon part of the forums. I deserve to be kicked from PC lol.

    I'm not totally sure on a favourite team honestly, the characters I really like a spread all over the place.

    Not to go back to the economics thing, but I think I made a mistake with the 10k average in taxes. I think that may be only income tax, so not including sales tax, property tax, and stuff like that. My bad. xD

    her weapons are really cool! They seem like the most powerful in a single hit if you know what I mean- the punch/shotgun combo can be really powerful. My favorite weapon might be Rin's because i like dual wield pistols/knives. I like Coco's with her mini-gun too. What is your favorite team?

    I have to admit of the main quartet Ruby is my favourite, although Yang is rapidly growing on me. As far as the weapons go I actually like Yang's the most, I think there's something cool about their simplicity.

    Well, the average in the US is 10k with an average income of 50k. That is a lot. Im only 16, but i pay sales tax, and if I drive, Ill be paying tax on that stuff too. And income tax when (if lol) I get a job to pay for the car (if i have enough).

    I think its gotten better to be honest. It was worse in the beginning. Ruby is really funny and happy, so I like her. But Qrow is really awesome! What are your favorite weapons?

    Do you actually pay taxes? Because I do, and I have to tell you I'm not paying an excessive amount. Not to mention anything relating to work or education is tax deductible (or at least it is here). Anyway I'm not going to bother debating economics with you further, we've long since established we'll never agree lol.

    Oh yeah? I look forwards to watching then! I've found the voice acting pretty reasonable, not legendary by any means but definitely good enough haha
    Do you have any favourite characters?

    People will only pay as much as they are willing to, so prices must naturally fall (if prices are too high, those greedy fat capitalists can't make money). in addition, there is no centralized currency, so the currency can only increase in value as productivity increases (so buying power increases). No one would be $40 for a potato, just as they do not now. The only way someone would pay $40 in potatoes is if they were suddenly worth $40 dollars (whether through scarcity or sudden extremely high demand for yummy potatoes). Same thing with wages- they can only go up as workers' productivity increases and with bargaining power. And the difference between a $40 potato and taxes (which are thousands of dollars), is you are not forced to buy a potato. You are forced to pay taxes.

    Yea... Season 3 chapters 9 and 10 were super intense! I will make sure not to spoil tho. xD
    I have some issues with the voice acting sometimes, but the story and soundtrack are great haha. I have no idea what the hype looks like, so idk. But they are coming out with a game on steam!

    In an unrestricted market people can pay as little as they want and charge as much as they want, and they would. If you think the minuscule amount people pay individually in taxes is massive theft what do you think of paying $40 for a potato?

    I actually recently started RWBY xD
    I've yet to watch the latest few episodes though. So far I'm enjoying it, although I do think it's been overhyped.
