What classes will be available in this ? Will they be similar to the ones in Royal asset ?

For the classes it's still on developmental stage but you can say that it's somwhat similar to ROyal Assets but I think that I will be removing the mage option but then again it's still on planning stage.

A paladin, but like... a dark one.

I definitely want to be the opposite of everything paladins are so I would stick away from anything remotely resembling them

Why do you think people who don't live in California don't understand how severe this drought is? do you feel like the rest of the country is wasting water? How do you feel about that campaign to put bricks in your toilet?

I think that people who are not in California don’t understand the severity of the drought because they haven’t experienced it. This goes for people on the west coast as well. We don’t understand the severity of snow storms because we haven’t experienced it.

I feel that the population as a whole is wasting water. Putting it in bottles and forcing it into pipes just takes it out of the ecosystem.

Putting bricks in toilets does reducing the amount of water per flush. This has not been a big thing in my city, but there are special water saving toilet handles that do the same thing, but better.

How do abusers make victims feel like it is their fault?

Most relationships start great. It’s romantic, you’ll get along; the abuse doesn’t start until later. So why the change? Some will think that the reason is because they are doing something wrong, others will keep hoping that things will go back to the way they were. The hope for a better relationship makes them stick around. 

Another reason is that a lot of people in society will blame the victim for the abuse because they are not doing anything to stop it and are therefore “provoking” it. Because they choose to stay and they are told that the abuse is “their choice” they are basically being told that the abuse is their fault. 

This site describes what a victim is and gives a more in depth description of what I described above. Check it out for more information.

How could we prevent children from gaining easy access to addictive drugs if all drugs are made legal? Even if there are age restrictions placed on the sales of these drugs, it will be as easy for underage children to have access to these drugs as they do with alcohol now.

I don’t think prevention is the solution. That’s what we’re doing now, and everyone (any age) that’s using drugs currently, is finding a way to get them: illegality isn’t stopping anyone, so they might as well be legal. A lot of these ways are shady, and are also the reason for a fair amount of crime. We can educate students and regulate drugs as we do now with alcohol and cigarettes. If heroin was legalized but you needed to be 21, would you ask someone to buy you some? Maybe? More than likely I’m guessing not.

Part of the reason why so many underage people are able to smoke marijuana, for example is because drug dealers don’t care how old the person they’re dealing to is. If we regulate the drugs, I believe it will be harder for a lot of teens to get drugs

What occupations would lead to a gender gap because of the nature of the work being done all else equal? Would it still be fair to have to pay equal amount?

The business world tends to have some of the largest gaps, however if the gap is due to the work being something like construction, where men are more likely to be employed because of their strength, it is more about the quality of the work. Construction workers tend to be paid around $30,000 a year which is on the lower end of the pay scale. I believe if a woman is doing just as good of a job as a man, she deserves to be paid equally.

What are some ways to boost confidence about body size and image through the media?

http://blog.blowfishshoes.com/blog/userfiles/Seventeen_Cover_May10.jpg

First and foremost, I think it would help if companies stopped having headlines like these on their typical cover page. By featuring articles like “943 Ways to Look Pretty”, the media is implying that there is something ugly about our appearances now, or at the very least that our appearance could be improved (in 943 ways). Also, the story “Why Can’t I Stop Gaining Weight?” shouldn’t be advertised on a magazine targeted for seventeen year olds. At seventeen years old, people are still developing and growing into their natural, adult forms, and they shouldn’t feel pressured to stop gaining weight or, unfortunately, to lose weight.

Q:What do you think would be the most effective payment plan for college athletes to ensure that they are financially secure as others are profiting on them, and should this payment plan vary from sport to sport?

A: Although i am not sure of exactly how much I would pay the athletes, I think a per hour basis would be the best way. A salary seems like it would cause even more controversy and you don't want athletes making too much money. Depending on the revenue the sport you are in, should dictate how much the athletes make. So obviously this would result in football players and basketball players making the most. You may see this as unfair but that is the culture we live in. Not everyone will be making the same amount of money, different fields make different amounts of money. Naturally not as many people will be going to see a swim meet as will be in attendance at a football game. Life isn't always fair but if a particular sport is generating most of the money for the school, then those athletes should be making the most money.
