Question 1: I am from Marxist/Communist/Socialist South Africa. I am working very hard to try and immigrate to another country but at the current rate it will probably take me another four or five years. How do I stay motivated and positive when I’m surrounded by extreme violence and an incredibly high crime rate?

Question 2: How would people of lower Intelligence do in a free society?

Question 3: Have you ever noticed that when some people set a goal for themselves, they also create obstacles to make themselves fail? And they do this, I think, because deep down they really don't want to achieve their goal and all the responsibility that comes along with it. I think it's because it's easier, and perhaps more gratifying, to have tried and failed, therefore earning the right to complain about how fate is to blame for their own misfortunes. This is essentially how fear of success manifests itself, I think. Would you agree, and if so, why do you think humans do this?

Pro Wrestling Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan was fired by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) after transcripts of a racist rant surfaced online. The rant originated from one of the sex tapes - filmed without permission - which have been the subject of Hogan’s recent lawsuit with Gawker. Stefan Molyneux takes a look at this news story which raises significant questions about personal privacy and the mob mentality.

Question 1: Almost all social movements in the past have been able to effectively harness the power of fiction and storytelling to advance their cause, shouldn't the libertarian movement do the same?

Question 2: What is the connection between boundaries (or lack of) and fear? More specifically, how do boundaries pertain to fear that originates from childhood abandonment and/or poor attachment?

Question 3: A. Is very limited government the same on a moral level as very large government? B. One argument I always hear when talking about taxes is that it is "part of living in a society”. What is the best way to answer that? C. How will people survive without a social safety net? D. Should every business be able to deny service to anyone they want? E. Throughout public school, I was taught over and over that the New Deal was what saved the US from the Great Depression, what are your thoughts on the New Deal from FDR?

The cost of higher education continues to rise and college debt has reached unsustainable levels. Potential students are faced with an increasingly more difficult decision: Do the benefits of college outweigh the costs? Is a college degree worth it? What are the parallels between the housing bubble and the current situation with student debt? How did we come to this point and what is the future of the United States higher education system? Find out the answers to these questions and many more in the The Truth About The College Student Debt Crisis!

Question 1: I assert that all rights are a subset of property rights, therefore freedom (a right) is a property of the possessor and can therefore be bought and sold. Do you agree? If so, do you support slavery? If not, why?

Question 2: Is the act of repossession immoral? Specifically, the act of vehicle repossession, as opposed to immovable collateral such as houses and land. For this question, "vehicle repossession" shall include all types of motorized collateral from the lowly ATV to private jets. Is the act of vehicle repossession immoral?

Question 3: I have found that I am intelligent, resilient to hardships that crop up in my life and have extremely ambitious thoughts about my future. However, I can't seem to be comfortable with the fact that I am fundamentally better than other people. This causes me to curb my abilities to spare others the stress of dealing with an intelligent, confident, and driven person so that they too can succeed and not feel inferior. Any thoughts?

Western civilization is on a path to destruction. In coming decades, economies will shrink, democracy will retreat and nations crumble. The long-term result will be grinding poverty, superstition and disease. This isn't scaremongering it is science. In Biohistory: The Decline and Fall of the West, Jim Penman, PhD, details a revolutionary new theory about why civilizations collapse. For the first time, Penman directly links human biology with the rise and fall of civilizations a cataclysmic relationship that brought the Romans, the ancient Greeks and all other Empires to their knees. It is it already too late to change the course of history? | For more go to: http://www.biohistory.org and http://www.fdrurl.com/biohistory

Unless you’ve lived under a rock, you’ve heard about the impact Donald Trump is having on American Politics. After controversial comments about illegal immigration and crime, Trump has risen to the very top of the polls, making him the frontrunner for the Republican nomination for the Presidential Election. After a very successful campaign event in Phoenix, John McCain called Trump supporters “crazies,” which lead to a public war of words between the two figures. Recently, Trumps comments about McCain’s status as a war hero have been punched on by the mainstream media and Republican political establishment. Now I want to tell you what pisses me off about Donald Trump and John McCain!

One week after Planned Parenthood was rocked by video-taped discussions of the harvesting and "sale" of aborted baby body parts for research purposes - a controversial new video has been released. In the new video, which was obtained by the Center for Medical Progress, another top official with Planned Parenthood is on camera haggling over the prices of aborted baby parts and discussing the method of abortion used in order to harvest organs. What isn’t the media telling you about this story? What isn’t Planned Parenthood telling you?

Question 1. How much education is necessary? Includes: getting in front of the mob, marxism is a failed religion, being allergic to reality, reincarnated Tumblr dragon people, protecting your goalie in hockey and the recent spike in violent crime.

Question 2: Do you think religion fulfills some deep emotional need for humans which is brought about by consciousness?

Question 3: In your recent "do you hate the world" show you mention that child abuse lowers IQ. Given that many famous intellectuals, inventors, and creative types were subject to childhood abuse - how do you think this impacted their success?
