I find it amazing how many people here are so close to Hobbes. Seriously, what a let down that guy is, always focusing on the bad and amplifying to every extreme.
Give me Roseau any day...

I got 0 down the line. Answered e to all the questions with low priority. Priority is how strongly you feel about the topic, Saerules. Anyway my reasoning for answering e to every question was that each question is open for interpretation, therefore the answers should have been open-ended instead of limited response. It is not for any man to give a justifiable opinion that of which will over rule or compensate for a lack of human emotion. It is not our place to decide for others the way that they should live.
The more questions we ask, the less answers we'll have.

And yet... one could say the same of our place to decide anything at all.
We still do it. 'Right' or 'wrong' as it may be.
That is why I did not choose any correct answer, it is not my place to decide.
