Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1182852 Feel free to move your lazy, whining, scrounging, sorry ass over there. You'll feel quite at home in your mud hut I'm sure. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That sentiment embodies the desperation of those who cannot admit the truth. Like a mud hut is such a deplorable thing. Be my guest. Kinda hard to get internet in Bumfuk Congo. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 34334776 United States 02/20/2013 12:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Try self employment. I quit my engineering profession (2 degrees worth) for a doctorate, work in my own office as a health practitioner. I love my little heaven, however it is trading one form of enslavement for another (debt to make it happen). However my employees are my family and lovely wife. It is a blessing overall, the only headaches are the customers, taxes, vultures asking for money for every little thing. I wouldn't trade it for a secure pay check for anything, why I get to open carry in my office if I feel like it, take naps on the slow days, spend hours of down time playing on GLP. |

You seem very intelligent so learn something like iOS programming and build apps for iphones/ipads that you can sell for yourself. Eventually people will come to you to build their apps. It's incredibly difficult but doable provided you have a macbook,internet access, persistence, and patience. The problem is it requires *hard* work.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 22301087 United States 02/20/2013 12:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The trick is you have to keep going and keep growing. I have been working since I was 12, full time since I was 16. Didn't go to college, however I spent (and still spend) every idle hour reading and learning. I have owned my own businesses and worked for companies large & small. I have made a fortune and lost it in a matter of an afternoon. I stay at the top of my game because I do not stop to feel sorry for myself. In the end quitters lose every time. If you cannot bear to continue on and take care of yourself, don't expect someone else to do it for you. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 7906897 United States 02/20/2013 12:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hah, OP I feel the same way. We should do what this guy said: [link to www.yoganandarediscovered.org] I know at least one other person that would join us. “Gather together, those of you who share high ideals,” Yogananda told his audiences. “Pool your resources. Buy land out in the country. A simple life will bring you inner freedom. Harmony with nature will bring you a happiness known to few city dwellers. In the company of other truth seekers it will be easier for you to meditate and think of God.” “What is the need for all the luxuries people surround themselves with? Most of what they have they are paying for on the installment plan. Their debts are a source of unending worry to them. Even people whose luxuries have been paid for are not free; attachment makes them slaves. They consider themselves freer for their possessions, and don’t see how their possessions in turn possess them!” He added: “The day will come when this colony idea will spread through the world like wildfire.“ |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 34758040 United States 02/20/2013 01:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here's why I feel so deeply resentful towards the system, that I am as deeply reluctant to serve it: Quoting: Fuck it 5872656 First off, it is so stressful and monotonous competing with hundreds / thousands of other wannabe slaves, that you are forced to constantly upgrade skills and sell yourself more (beg harder). It is degrading to beg to be someone else' slave. Second, if you manage to get an interview, you are heavily interrogated. Third, if you make it through the interrogation procedure they now own you and they can talk to you like shit and force you to slave away as hard as they like. Not so? Disobey your boss or argue back, you will find yourself penniless and homeless in no time. Fourth, you are forced to work with people who may be absolute assholes and there's no escape. Fifth, you take the stress of a job home with you and your mind is swamped with work schedules. so you cannot truly relax - ever. Sixth, all of your freedoms are removed from the moment you leave school to the moment you retire. You are forced to work 8 hours per day - Monday to Friday - until your youth has gone forever. In fact, your freedoms are removed as soon as you start school. Seventh, you are deceived into thinking that you are entitled to two days of freedom, but you are so stressed from the previous 5 days of slavery you just want to sleep in on Saturday. Then you spend Saturday night getting drunk to blot out your miserable existence. Sunday is spent sleeping in and feeling like shit from a hangover. Eighth, constant toiling away and being handed heavy schedules age you prematurely, not to mention stressing the immune system. Ninth, you cannot live a self sufficient lifestyle legally independent of the system because if you build a log cabin anywhere, so you can fish / hunt or grow crops for food, the system's henchmen will destroy your home and imprison you. Tenth, you are a tax generating automaton who exists to swell the moneyboxes of the elite. There you have it -- the big pink elephant is not staring you in the face from the far corner of the room, it is sitting on you and crushing you with it's enormous weight, yet the world is in collective denial over this very obvious fact. Why? Because slavery is all they understand. That's why I hate the system and refuse to serve it. You can either bitch and moan like the twat you are or change, grow some balls and dictate your own life. MOst people, maybe you too, do not have the courage or skill or discernment to know or find out what it takes to be a freeman and be prosperous. Freedom takes alot of talent, and most slaves will never have the opportunity for freedom. If they did they may become frightened or go insane. Thats why when a slave is disposed of from a "job" they go crazy or go lazy or become bottom feeders. So in summary grow a pair and do something useful for your family instead of being a whiney bitch. with the above you've been graciously given what youre needing, now accept it, rewire your brain and goodbye. |

No doubt that what you said in your OP and this post is true. Everyone has become slaves, just slaves that aren't bullwhipped. Instead of bullwhips, it's more of a psychological bullwhip. You sound like someone who has an old soul, like someone who should've been born in a past century. I don't mean that as an insult at all; in fact, I mean it as a compliment. It's amazing how far away we have been removed from our ancestor's basic survival and self sufficient skills. Corporations and big government has really crippled entrepreneurs. Mom and Pop business's are almost a thing of the past. |
