Not habitually, and it's illegal, but that doesn't stop some people. They killed a friend and business partner of mine, and tried to kill me and Shaun. So I'm not feeling particularly charitable on the subject of religion at the moment.
There is conflict. It's one of those cases where it's hard to say there's always a right answer. And the conflict is why you have people with different opinions, and legal disputes, and such things. Even in your system, there are surely philosophical disagreements between your Yagaiists? For example, what constitutes coercion? Or force? What constitutes a 'freely entered into' contract? Since you want to study law, I assume you're going to end up dealing with the grey edges of things.
In my personal opinion, which is one among many and should be considered accordingly, it's best to evaluate rights and cases individually. I generally agree with the principle of non-coercion, but sometimes peoples' rights come into conflict with that. For example, in my world, everything over 40 pounds zombifies, and we have something called spontaneous amplification, which is basically that someone or something can zombify randomly. And that's why there are restrictions on animal ownership. It's restricting someone's freedom to have certain pets, but it happens because, let's say you want to own a large dog but you have a child. Does your right to own a dog outweigh your right to put someone who has no choice in the matter in danger? That sort of thing. There are always questions, which is why freedom of speech is so important. Because otherwise you might not hear other views, and then you'd never know if what you thought was really what you thought or just what the government or a company wanted you to hear.
In terms of taxes, some people consider them that way, but they're usually considered a fringe group where I'm from. Same with people who think we should just not let people earn over a certain amount. Neither side is taken very seriously. I've taken and published pieces from Libertarians and Socialists both, though, as long as they make sense. The thing with education is that either way, you're paying for it. If you're rich, and you own a company, you pay taxes to support education. But if you didn't, then it'd be harder to find skilled workers for your company and you'd just end up paying to train them as adults. So it's easier and more efficient to give everybody a baseline to work with, sort of like buying in bulk, but everybody's doing it.
Yeah, education here is grouped by age. Well, our parents taught us privately. Between the two of them, they knew enough to get Shaun and I through our required tests, especially since my father's a PhD. Then they focused on training us for our licenses to enter hazard zones. Teaching us our rights, weapon use, etc.
Shaun is my brother. He's my age. We didn't actually start our own brand until recently: We're reporters and we didn't have the followers for it, but we've been freelancing since we were teens, yeah, and we work together and run our business together now. We did have another business partner; she's the one that was murdered. I could look, but I'm not a lawyer in this time.
Yes, Amazon is an internet shipping company. Usually you can have anything you could ever want overnighted, but none of the orders here go through.
I can't figure out the magic either; like you, I'm pretty sure there some sort of physics phenomenon that would explain it, and us being here for example, I remember something about brane theory, but you'd need a PhD to have a shot at actually figuring this stuff out. It's annoying to know that you would know if you had studied a bit more.
