F***! The System.

[Steve Rogers]

But thinking about it do we really need, most of the products that are out there, we should live off the things we need to survive, not the things we want.

So we should take away the things we want? Do we need freedom? No, we want it. Do we need equality? No, we want it. Their are countries like this, and people do survive in them. They are miserible, but they do survive. So, esentially, you want to take away out persuit of happiness. Uh-oh, someone wants to re-write the very laws of the land that define us. Tisk tisk.

for instance i have a ps3, do i need it no i don't i can survive without it, i have food in my fridge, do i need that, yes, i do, food and water is necessary for survival.

Get rid of the PS3, genius. You don't need it. You do, however, need grammar skills.

the money thats wasted could be sued for better things, technological advancements, better schooling, maybe use it to fix places up, pay workers what they deserve.

How? If this money never makes it into the economy and circulation because we are not buying the finer things in life, how is it supposed to get to these places? Pay workers what they deserve? We do that. Ask a doctor. And so what? Pay them what they deserve so they can buy nothing with it?

open up more shelters.

I agree, so go make the system better.

Yeah. When you create this fantasy land, I will be the first to visit.

sure we don't need those things but not everyone who gets a degree in a field of science wants to spend their life trying to cure cancer. They would rather use their knowledge to come out with drugs like steriods that would give you a six pack.

We can't dictate to people how they should live their lives or spend their time doing.

even with the best of intensions the things we want don't turn out how we would like.

but see thats it, i learned that in some Japanese schools they are tested on their job placement, and than are forced into learning about that career, and its kinda like that in the us, except they give us a bit more freedom in the end of choosing what we want to do in life as far as working goes.

but were still pushed with that career knowledge from colleges.

I keep forgetting he's a high school student.

Whenever he's allowed in the school.

 

[chamber-music]

we always want more because theres always something new and shiny out there, and these commercials and ads sell it, cuz they make it look like we need it.

well that depends on how strong minded you are. If your strong willed enough and content with say an older model of car while everyone else is driving a newer model.

It comes down to your personal strength of character if you want commercials to dictate your disires to you.

Edit - never mind

Who has a PS3? Someone look up his player score to show how much he uses it.

 

[LexCorp]

I'm learning alot by being dis proven by you guys, and i now thank you for my new found knowledge of these situations, i learn something new everyday, and i love knowing and learning things.

This is the first awesome thing you have said in this thread

 

[Ice-man]

Why am i an idiot, cuz i think differently than other people.

 

[Ice-man]

when I'm wrong about something I'm wrong, I'm not one to argue against it.

 

[LexCorp]

It's not so much thinking differently. That is fine. It's just your thoughts are not very well thought out and everyone on here is correcting your views with obvious facts and reasonable responses...and they are winning.

Why am I an idiot? Because I think differently than other people?

Indeed it seems to have rubbed off on you so I will leave you be. Enjoy the rest of your day.

My mistake, Grammar Nazi.

I'm happy to discuss this stuff. People who keep putting down need to remember they where his age once and questioning, learning and discussing things is part of growing up. No one really has all the answers and we are all still learning.

 

[Abaddon]

there are plenty of people who think the same way, if no better.

Indeed they are, I'm getting ass raped.

But we all had this at one stage when we were younger. Consider it a fast track in life coaching....people are ***** (me too). t:

 

[Steve Rogers]

My mistake, Grammar Nazi.

But your grammar is horrid, dude. It makes it difficult to read some of you posts. Now, you're not an idiot for thinking differently. In fact, thinking differently is great. Kudos to you. But, I don't think you were thinking the whole thing through. You want to change the system? Study politics in college, graduate, and go out into the world and make a difference. But just saying you're not going to conform is not going to work. Sure, you could not conform. You could live on and hunt on public land. Then you could be locked up. Newsflash kid, we may be able to one day change the system, but we can't simply not be part of it. I'm sorry to say, it does not work that way.

 

[Logan's Runt]

My mistake, Grammar Nazi.

No one will ever take your ideas seriously, even if they are pure genius, if you can't express them intelligently.

 

[Ice-man]

No one will ever take your ideas seriously, even if they are pure genius, if you can't express them intelligently.

Very true.

 

[Ice-man]

With my poorly though out, unethical ideas aside, how would any of you envision a better organized system, you have to admit ours is flawed and needs SOME tweaks.

If you were put in charge of everything, what would you do.
