Rich and hated... I don't like people anyways.

As long as it's not almost impossible to survive poor. Then I would pick poor and respected.

Money can't buy you happiness.

Rich and hated, because then I could smash schools and build whatever I want because I'd piss people off more.

Either.

If I am rich enough (but hated), I can afford to develop a drug that makes everyone respect me. In order to force everyone to take it, I will use my money to develop an invincible military force.

If I am respected enough (but poor), I can convince everyone to give me money, which they will agree to thanks to the amount of respect they have for me. This will continue until I am rich.

So either way, I can end up both rich and respected.

I'd chose respect.

Besides, if people liked me, they'd be more apt to lend me a hand.

Well, people can still hate you AND respect you at the same time, but maybe that's just semantics, and you actually meant 'rich and hated of poor and liked'?

If that's the choice, then I'd rather be rich and hated. Being liked doesn't matter to me in the least, especially considering I don't like a lot of people I meet. Respect is slightly more desirable then being liked IMO, but I guess if I was rich I could always pay people to say they respect me ;P

Including respect.

But don't forget, respect can also buy you everything, including money.

So it doesn't really matter which one you choose, because you can end up rich and respected either way.

Money is respect, but that's a hard question. You can still have friends even if you have money still

Rich and hated, because people fake it anyways when your rich, it would be an advantage to know that everyone's fake.

Poor and well respected. I don't actually care what people think about me, but i care about what I do, and to be hated by everyone I'd have to do something pretty horrible :P

Why the hate when you can love? Spread the love ...

Hated and rich.

I have learned much from watching the Garthok battle. It has weaknesses. I believe I can take it.
