[quote:Anonymous Coward 7532529:MV8xODQ0MjUwXzMwNzYzNTM1X0NDMzNCRTY4] I feel the same way. I remember when I was little, I was obsessed with the Amish when I went to Lancaster, PA. Even then, I realized their way of life is way better than us "normal" folks. We have to work from the time we are 20 (sometimes from the time we are 13) to the age of about 65 (most people have to continue working even after 60s). Most people are lucky if they even get weekends off. I know I'm one of those people. It's Sunday, and my work already called me about something. Probably to go in tonight. I haven't had a Sunday off in months. I get treated like shit at work, like a freaking dog or slave. It's crazy. Every job is the same too. There isn't a job out there today it seems that doesn't have you "on call" where you might have to go in any damn day. I'm not even supposed to be "on call". Another thing, is that I'm part time, but I been working 40 hours since the summer. Figure that out. I want to be full-time, but noooo. That's just too much money to spend on someone. Amish people have it right. Minus the whole religious thing, being self-sufficient is the way to be. It is a lot of work to have a farm and everything, but at least you can spend time with your family, not a bunch of loser co-workers. Waste away your life in an office or building, or doing whatever stupid shit there is. I mean, sure some people have it easy because they are at the top, but most people aren't. We are the little minions that get treated like slaves. We are being forced to work somewhere, because if we don't the bill man comes and takes everything away. Especially since my bills are all student loan bills..don't get me started on that.. [/quote]
