A Debate on the Merits of Taxing Dicing Started by: Raffi on Apr 05, '20 16:56

In simple cash terms, my father was not only the wealthiest man who ever lived in this society: it is inconceivable that anyone will ever have his wealth again.

Because your father was a cheat. His "achievements" are nothing. Tainted. The fact you speak of him in such a manner shows that your boodline holds no remorse for his actions. You should be hounded out of this world forever. Fucking pathetic.

Slash - if you weren't so blinded by resentments, you would realise and recognise that every single time I speak of my father, I do not applaud him: I condemn him, and I do what I can to point out that unlimited cash wealth does not, can not, and should not, automatically equal power.

You seem committed to slandering my bloodline on these Streets, yet when I carefully rebut that which you accuse me of, you disappear.

Now why is that?

Did my father make a huge mistake?  Yes, he did.  Should I have to pay a price for that?  I did.  I am. 

Why can't *you* get past this?

Report Post Tip

It isn't something I believe any of us should forgive or forget, I think thats plainly obvious in my condemnation of your father.

I will not cease to slur you anytime I hear you speak. The very name Kuku should never be accepted in this community. Ever.

But I also don't expect you to respond CommissarKuku, I don't mean that as a dig. I just  know that you only reply when you think you have a smart response or think you are in the right. 

Damn, Some days I can tell the future Lol.

Look Slash, what makes you think CommissarKuku is accepted into this community? One can post a lot on the street and claim to be the leader because one random guy said his father was, but remember, that status and "power"  went away the day he was caught cheating. 

So what does Kuku have left? A bed to sleep in and using a public forum like a blowhard would write in his personal journal.

Slash - alright, and who else would you like to see hounded from our community?  And how far would go for this?  Would you take your ire out on those who house me?  

City Hall itself granted me parole.  I am completely confident that I offer this community far, far more than you do, and yet I don't call for you to be hounded out, do I?

In fact, even when I have been personally affected by those who go against the Gods, I don't call for them to be hounded.  

Slash, with all due respect to your rank and your position in this thing: grow up, and move on.  This is very unbecoming of you.

If you have a problem with me personally, then send me a telegram and we can sort this out.  

Report Post Tip

You are the self apppointed leader of the streets, so why not addres you in your habitat?? I find it much more worthwhile to discuss the issues here in the open, giving you the chance to twist the words and make yourself appear a victim in this whole thing.

Other people that I would see chased from our shores? Those that were fully aware of the cheating your father was doing and did nothing. I have as much distaste and contempt for them as I do your bloodline.

Do I have issues with anyone choosing to house you? No. Thats their choice. I simply made my own feelings known and will continue to use my voice where I see fit.

You fool no-one by pretending to respect me, my rank or my position in this thing of ours. Be truthful, admit that you couldn't give a singe fuck about what I think or feel.

Also since you like to say grow up and move on - how about you stop bringing up WhereWasI. How long has it been since your bloodlines crossed paths and you still try and make a fool out of the man. Grow up, move on.

Report Post Tips: 1 / Total: $45,000 Tip

Slash I am, indeed, a victim of your relentless persecution.  Because, as you readily admit, you cannot let this go.

So will you be chasing any relation of Goku's that you find?  No?  I wonder why not.  And what about those who disgraced themselves before the Gods in other ways, in years gone by.  Will you hound them?  The former leader of the Molson outfit, will you hound her?  No?  And what about descendents of Disorder, and others, who the Gods struck down for blasphemy?  Will you hound them?  No?

Will you use your voice to hound them?  Or will you just stick to hounding me?

Because this isn't really about what my father did, is it, Slash?  It's about the way that *I* make *you* feel.  And *I* can't control that: that's on you.  Personal accountability is key to personal growth.

WhereWasI was one of the most gifted writers of this thing.  I keep his work alive.  

What, exactly, do you do that people appreciate around here?

Report Post Tip

He hates you, I'm sure there are several people around here that appreciate that, or if not appreciate per se, at least understand and agree with it.

Report Post Tips: 1 / Total: $20,000 Tip

Hate means so many things.  I would be embarrassed to hate anyone.  But then, I am a man of love.

Report Post Tip

On taxing, I mentioned in another discussion I had been considering a tax on the VIPs. I haven't confirmed with City Hall if this is even allowed, nor do I know if it would be with dice.

I'm a believer in the philosophy of "everyone should be paying somebody", however I equally have no real desire to create needless drama. People seemed concerned with how VIP God was issuing his rewards and even though I would be taxed more heavily than 95% of the population with such a proposal, it seemed like it could create a solution, with the extra amounts raised going towards Durden Spawns and the like.

I haven't heard that many public complaints over Dice until this discussion.

Report Post Tip
Kuku, if the son of Goku was out here bumping his gums pretending to be a force for good, I would indeed have something to day.

However I'm also led to believe he was the reason your father was caught in the end. Some might say that he's atoned for his sins since he too served a custodial sentence.
Report Post Tip

Slash - he served a sentence that was less than one third what I served.  I have no idea if his assets were seized.

What I do know is that Viktor profited, wildly, from his association with my father.  Many, many hundreds of millions.  

And he only turned informer when he could profit no longer.

He did the right thing, this is true.  But he did it for the wrong reason.

But anyway, Slash.  Let's be honest here.  You won't hound Goku's son because you don't have a problem with Goku.

You might dislike what my father did, and you should.  I do, too.   But you have a personal problem with my bloodline.  That's what this is about.  I know it, you know, WhereWasI probably knew it (even if the knowledge was instantaneously replaced with something else).

You don't like me, and you've never liked my bloodline.  And that's a damn shame, brother, because I don't know you well enough to cast judgement on you.  But friends of yours like me just fine. 

Are they wrong?  Are all of my friends wrong?  Or are you?
