[quote name="Quétinbec"]I'm flying down to spend 4 days with my Grandmother in a beautiful farming community south of the 2nd southernmost city in the world. There will be no further communication with you until I come back. [quote name="Fussbett"] There are people with jobs who enjoy life. [/quote] Yep, that's why we have television and computer games. If that's enough for you, keep it to yourself, because I'm trying to get a little more. [quote name="Fussbett"] Additionally, sometimes work is fun or at least fulfilling. [/quote] Relative to the straws you're left clutching in your spare time? Here's the deal with the world in 2009: There are no spaceships, no wars worth fighting, I can't marry the person I most want, and for the rest of my life my jaw will sometimes click when I eat big things or kiss. Why should I buy a house and take a world like that seriously? Better to play to its strengths and hunt out dirty secrets. [quote name="Fussbett"] INC already sorted you out with this nonsense, but it's so fucking stupid it's worth a second reply. Normal people, good quality people, feel bored and useless when they decide to do nothing for a living. That's called drive, and you don't have it. Drive is what made your dad amass enough money to let you run around like a fag, drive makes him embarrassed by you [/quote] It's not just a work ethic that gets in the way of <i>truly</i> enjoying yourself. You could deal with that by learning to sculpt or renovating a deck. 50 years of work fucks with your risk preferencing, tolerance for bullshit, and a retarded pride gets in the way of everything. The biggest hit is your age, though. You get into this young and you have a million excuses for every stupid move. This is what you should do. People are very forgiving. In contrast, old people have a lot of trouble justifing the lifestyle. Most can't be fucked justifying it to themselves let alone others, so it doesn't work out. Realize you won't consider this lifestyle until you're 65, and it's far, far too late. [quote name="Fussbett"] drive is what rightfully makes him feel like a loser on the beach -- because anyone living on that beach is a loser. [/quote] You brainwashed fool! Look at yourself talking shit about living free on a beach! You were working at home for a while. What excuse do you have for NOT renting out the townhouse and living beautifully in Asia on that money alone, never mind any contract work? Fuck your "drive" if it keeps you off the beach. [quote name="Fussbett"] That's called "waiting to die". [/quote] It's called freedom. If you've been so badly conditioned by society that "<i>waiting</i>" gets you down, you can work. You can beaver away like a fucking idiot night and day. You've got complete freedom to do whatever. [quote name="Fussbett"] No, you're similarly <i>speculating</i> about what it's like to know you're not a worthless piece of shit and you're <i>speculating</i> what it's like to be respected and liked and even have sex with a white girl for free. [/quote] Do you think people give a shit that you write the "about page" of GE Money's Canadian website? That they give you $4,000 for it and some stupid bitch mistakes your Audi for a Volvo and gives it up for <i>the provider</i>? I can go places where $100 makes me the richest person on Earth. And not just rich, Fussbett: mysterious and powerful! I've been worth more in the minds of MORE others, than you're worth to your girlfriend. I've been a fucking celebrity. I've been a fucking king. The best you can hope for is a kiss on the cheek and a pat on the back. I'll go to the ends of the earth to arbitrage myself. I am a fucking billionaire. [quote name="Fussbett"] There are lots of side benefits to being the type of person who can keep up with society's bare minimum. [/quote] I'm not settling for side benefits, you sell-out piece of shit. You go fuck a drunk girl. My shit comes raw, real, and full frontal. [/quote]
