wtf is wrong with our culture. I see everyone else doing this and it's getting old and tired. Dont get me wrong, I dont do this, but why is everyone else stuck doing this day in and day out. It's complete and utter madeness! I'd rather be shit broke then earn just enough to get by day to day.

Everyone works for the wrong reasons! You should be working for your freedome, financial independence, not for stuff, a house, car, junk, doodads, status. Man 80-90% of all work is for stuff that you dont need. You end up working for stuff not for you. I think our priorities are way off base and work has gotten too far away from fun.

Hunter gatherers would work maybe 4 hours/day and what work they did do was more like play. Now we do completely miningless jobs, monotenous jobs with no value and little addition to anything important. And then there is the paper-pushing jobs. Dont get me started....cut them out and stay home. And then the government suck holes who paper push...have them stay home with the kids and pay them, its retarded. They aren't doing anything productive in the goverment anyway what would be the difference. Women, now you guys messed up big time, why did you even want to work? You should have stayed home all along, but you got screwed into work a day and slashed the value of everyone because workers weren't in short supply.

Man, we've never been in a time of more wealth, yet everyone works harder, less free time and life satisfaction is down. If you're working for someone else, you are serving their dream....get your own.

Anybody else agree or is this just me?
Hunter gatherers tended to die by the time they were 20, froze or starved to death in the winter...and their life SUCKED and was extremely difficult. Often times hunting took them very far from where they lived and they certainly didn't play all day, they lived from day to day trying to gather enough food to feed themselves, they had to protect themselves from animals, making their own weapons etc.

A happy medium would be nice, but if you think this world would be better if we all donned loin clothes and went back to the hunting days...you are a tad bit nuts lol
