Things every self-respecting man over 30 should have...
Don't you only need a passport for international travels? I would assume the vast majority of people don't have one. Fun list. I think I have most...except underwear. j/j

Do not forget the happy endings ;)
Isnt there an expansion pack already funded by this Kickstarter? That would seem to point to PE1 having an open ending. Me, Im a sucker for the happy/good endings.

Again, if you feel you cannot contribute to a topic without personal insults then it is best to step out of the conversation and collect yourself.

The price per sortie is high but youre paying for the ability to project that force almost anywhere on Earth. But I for one welcome our coming drone overlords.

If Obsidian kickstarts a space opera RPG, would you back it?
For me, if Obsidian makes another Kickstarter, I'm going to take the wait and see approach.

Agreed. I was just trying to illustrate that a person with no beginning advantages and a pretty huge disadvantage can carve out a decent middle class life through effort (and some good luck). I think a lot of people do "choose" to be homeless. Notwithstanding the hard luck cases where someone lost their job/died/whatever, I believe most homeless are in that condition due to their own actions, most commonly substance abuse of some kind. We already have programs to help people but at some point personal accountability has to rear its ugly head, imo.

I agree that being in the right place at the right time is beneficial but to discount individual effort falls flat imo. Ill use myself as an example. I grew up with nothing. NOTHING. My father died when I was 7 and my mother, who had only been a housewife up to this point, took the only job she knew how to do, she became a waitress at local diners. I never even had new clothes until high school. All of my clothes came from resale shops like Goodwill and Salvation Army. We were poor as hell. She died when I was 17 and I was on my own from that time. Apparently defying the odds, I managed to not turn to crime, hard drugs or homelessness. Am I some kind of unique case? Of course not. People do that every day. It would be an interesting counterpoint if being coddled by the state actually perpetuates the problem. Im not so sure JSFOCC would still be chillin at home at 27 if the mechanism wasn't in place to support that lifestyle. He would have been forced into action long before now. Possibly.
