Habría que abolir los paraísos fiscales?
Uno de los rasgos identificatorios de un paraíso fiscal suele ser la existencia de estrictas leyes de secreto bancario y de protección de datos personales. Es habitual que los datos de accionistas y directores de empresas no figuren en registros públicos, sino que se encuentren bajo la custodia de su representante legal, el llamado agente residente (registered agent). Estas características han provocado que estos países, a menudo muy pequeños en extensión y población, hayan conseguido acumular un cuarto de la riqueza privada de todo el mundo, según el FMI.
Históricamente se los ha acusado de servir de cobijo a evasores de impuestos, terroristas y narcotraficantes que esconden sus identidades tras sociedades offshore, cuentas numeradas, directores fiduciarios, fundaciones, trusts o acciones al portador.
Do you think democracy is the best form of society?
Democracy is a broad concept and sometimes even cause for debate. We refer to your personal interpretation of what you feel democracy is about.
Are you happy with your home?
Of course, we always want more and bigger and better. But if you look at it from a objective point of view, do you feel your house or apartment offers the acceptable amount of space (total size, size of the rooms) for a family/company of your number of persons?
Is global warming is the greatest danger for mankind?
Do you believe global warming is currently the greatest danger facing mankind?
Increasing global temperature is expected to cause sea levels to rise, an increase in the intensity of extreme weather events, and significant changes to the amount and pattern of precipitation, likely including an expanse of the subtropical desert regions.
Scientific consensus has identified carbon dioxide as the dominant greenhouse gas forcing. Most scientists agree that the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases due to human activity caused most of the warming observed since the start of the industrial era, and that the observed warming cannot be satisfactorily explained by natural causes alone.
Do you think marijuana should be legalized?
Humans have been consuming cannabis since prehistory,although in the 20th century there was a rise in its use for recreational, religious or spiritual, and medicinal purposes. It is estimated that about 4% of the world's adult population use cannabis annually and 0.6% daily.
The possession, use, or sale of psychoactive cannabis products became illegal in most parts of the world in the early 20th century. Since then, some countries have intensified the enforcement of cannabis prohibition while others have reduced the priority of enforcement.
Do you believe in the existence of a God?
God is most often conceived of as the supernatural creator and overseer of the universe.
Conceptions of God vary widely. Theologians and philosophers have studied countless conceptions of God since the dawn of civilization. The Abrahamic conceptions of God include the trinitarian view of Christians, the Kabbalistic definition of Jewish mysticism, and the Islamic concept of God. The dharmic religions differ in their view of the divine. Conceptions of God held by individual believers vary so widely that there is no clear consensus on the nature of God.
Do you believe Darwin's theory of evolution?
Studies of the fossil record and the diversity of living organisms had convinced most scientists by the mid-nineteenth century that species changed over time. However, the mechanism driving these changes remained unclear until the 1859 publication of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, detailing the theory of evolution by natural selection. Darwin's work soon led to overwhelming acceptance of evolution within the scientific community.
Do you believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life forms?
This does not necessarily refer to 8 feet tall, big-headed, highly intelligent, skinny green men who move in flying saucers. Speculated forms of extraterrestrial life range from intelligent or human-like beings, to life at the scale of bacteria.
