Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Humans tend to push boundaries. For the super rich there are nearly no boundaries set. Breaking most laws only costs money, which doesn't scale with the wealth of the culprit.
Drugs, legal girls, legal entertainment gets probably boring if you have it all the time. So they get more depraved.
I would not be surprised if some of them torture, kill and enslave people just for kicks
John Mcafee's exploits are worth a read
The one thing he did NOT do, however, was turn Mcafee into the steaming pile of spyware sewage that it is today. He knew where to draw the line.

Wasn't there that incident of rich people paying to gun people down with sniper rifles in some war a few decades ago thats now being claimed to being repeated in palestine?
As I said: not surprised.
Shootings in a war zone, who would investigate?
There are places in the world where the law breaks down. You wouldn't even have to go to a war zone for that: If the super rich abducted some homeless people who would notice? Especially if it's in a poor country with already corrupt police.
Hell even in "first world" countries the poorest are nearly unprotected.
