Is that site serious(ly retarded), or am I seeing one of the greatest trolls in existance?

Economics is a tough question, because it is actually multiple questions: Aye, Economics is complex which is why it rarely features in RPGs. However, the wealth disparity may feature as a slider because some GMs will want to differ the rewards offered by peasant villages (and other institutions) ba...

Division of Wealth (ie how big the wealth disparity between land owner and tenant)
(Feudal, ???, Modern, ???, Egalitarian)

I think there need to be additional options surrounding Modern, so I marked the places with question marks in hopes of someone coming up with appropriate names for them.

Well, according to Protocol III of the Geneva Conventions, the use of Incendiaries on civilians or forests, as well as the use of Incendiaries from the air, is illegal. The truth, it's important and stuff. Sure. But coming in and saying that Napalm is "not illegal" is just as technically ...

... and napalm in a cup! This coffee is so hot it's banned under the Geneva convention! About Napalm, I know that's illegal. Actually, it's not. Read up on your Jus in Bello . Sorry for being totally pedantic and intruding into your righteous indignation fuelled rhetoric-rant, but Napalm is not ill...

Gropers don't go after foreigners. What keeps the victims from smacking the gropers is culturally-induced shame, which non-Japanese are notoriously short of. And here, I thought it was the fact that rush hour trains in Tokyo are packed to the brim, making gropers anonymous and practically unreachab...

"I should be allowed to take risks with myself even to the point that they increase risks for other people because people should be allowed to do what they want to do." That's a damn hard argument to counter, because it already establishes as a baseline that the person across the table is...

There's evidence for every opinion out there. Canada has similar gun distribution to the US but less in the way of gun crime. Japan has similar gun laws to the UK, but a significantly smaller murder rate, whilst the UK and Canada have very similar murder rates. Switzerland has national military serv...

Manxome, K is implicitly reducing a class to a tuple of elements, which we have only agreed (so far) includes a member of the set of power sources. Therefore, 2 classes that incorporate the same power source are logically equal. Your model incorporates additional elements that are members of a diffe...

Then again, I find religion more like a club that's bashing in my head. When nobody's trying to convert you, religions can be beautiful. An incredible amount of art has been inspired by religion. I'd be surprised if the majority of art in the world wan't religiously inspired. A lot of it is even go...

Why does management get paid more than the workers? Unless they have more time at the company, I don't see any reason why. Are you looking for moral justification or for pragmatic justification? If you're looking for moral justification, you're going to get a "fat chance of that" from me....
