Oh this is so sad its funny.


1. dont beg no wonder your jobless.
2. an interview without questions would be pointless.
3. You can quit any time. they dont own you. (i suggest finding a different job first so your dont become penniless)
4. see #3
5. thats a personnal problem you need to work on. Try smoking pot.
6. see #3
7. see #5
8. your wrong. Activity and exercise keep you young. Its your attidute that ages you. (your as young as you feel)
9. Why do you feel that you can put a house on someone elses land? Feeling entitled?
10. Your lack of self worth will end you. Be a Man and exist as a Man and you will find worth in your self.

Work has to be done, if no one worked then there would be no infrastructure no hospitals, no technological progress of any kind. Everything requires work, even typing this! Getting up in the morning, eating, drinking, washing all this is still work and effort.

earth is a slave farm. Its not just the current system - its always been a slave farm.
Physical life is all about competition for survival - amongst a scarcity. The mental dissonance comes about because we were conned into believing life is something other than slavery and hardship. That is the carrot on the stick invented to keep the slaves on the job - i.e. the american dream.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33421829


I think this is the whole point.

Don't want to speak for OP

but OP wants to escape the slave farm and find a better life.

If everyone revolted off the slave farm, it would not longer support the

rich overlord tards and their life styles...

they would be forced to work themselves....oh deeeer eee


They want to make sure enough are brainwashed ; as many of the comments on here do

indicate

to believing this is an ok system to live in ; just 'deal' with it

If all slaves revolted we would have a new and better world!!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32538141


'if all the slaves revolted' - may as well say, 'if all the dogs learned calculus' - The slave system itself is an outward expression of the inner nature of the slaves themselves. They are ruled because they don't want to have the responsibility of self rule. They are lied to because they have no love of truth. They are treated unjustly because they don't object when someone else is treated unjustly. Remember how 'Tase me Bro' became a big joke instead of an outrage? Remember how 911 truth was mocked by a public who bray like donkeys when they don't like what they hear? remember when millions voted for "Hope and Change" despite obvious indications it was scam? They are their own enemy. The elite are just a tiny voltage. The masses are an enormous current.

all the housing regulations are there to secure your local construction monopoly. The suburban developers are the biggest gangsters of all time, they in fact, created much of the national debt.

Reagan repealed laws forbidding them from owning their own banks, so they could loan money to themselves. So what did they do? they loaned trillions of dollars to themselves, based on the inflated values of the homes they built. Then they shuffled all the money off to their friends and declared bankruptcy.

Re: I'm 34 and jobless. I am deeply resentful towards the so called 'work ethic'. Here's why...
Here's why I feel so deeply resentful towards the system, that I am as deeply reluctant to serve it:

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.
 Quoting: Fuck it 5872656


This is the reason the world is going to fail…this OP and attitude shows why

1st …. Its called competition ….yes you have to upgrade your skills its called working for something

2nd…. Manage to get an interview? Why not become a needed skill set …. You might have an advantage then

3rd…. slave away? Ok Mr the glass is half full…. Pick a carrier that YOU LIKE!

4TH… Maybe you are the asshole at work?

5th…if you can’t handle stress be a garbage collector …not much stress

6th… see answer number 3

7th… see answer number 3 again

8th…see answer number 5

9th… you might want to up your meds

10th…this one I agree on

i think the real danger is that change is coming - someone is very busy getting it into the heads of the masses that they are being had. Even the likes of Fox news puts guys out there like Napolitano who are gradually getting the word out that the system is rotten.
The problem is that people will be motivated to change - but because its for the wrong reason, they will be just as easily herded into the solution already planned for them long in advance.
I say its the wrong reason, because its not motivated by love of truth, but anger over being screwed. And that motive does not carry the integrity to see it through to a good solution - but rather a reactionary result, such as was produced by communist revolution.
I expect there to be a feigned collapse of the powers that be followed by a world-wide 'brotherhood' that will be worse than anything we have seen.

Re: I'm 34 and jobless. I am deeply resentful towards the so called 'work ethic'. Here's why...
I will tell you. I dropped out of medical school in my first year. I had no problems academically. I had trouble with the costs and what I perceived as the future of healthcare.

I had a conversation with a family doc at the white coat ceremony. (This big pompous cloistering bullshit ceremony to make you feel 'special') And he said, "so what did you do before you got in."

I said, "I was a paramedic, carpenter, and stone and brick mason. And I raise cattle with my family."

He chuckled and replied, "Why would you give that up?"

Absolutely, 100% true, I swear. Nothing else was said, but I got the sense about mid semester that since I was destine for GP or something of that nature I was going to 250K in debt to net 95K.

That combined with other factors led me to hang it up, I have NO REGRETS!
