You spending time with pacific people (aren't they willing to fight for anything?) , me spending time with grandparents and parents who knew poverty........ we were fortunate...... perhaps those raised in prosperity did not have those blessings?noddy wrote:shitshacks and vege patches is luxury compared to cardboard boxes under bridges and soup kitchens... all those "lazy" people really should look into em ;P
i really dont know how to express all this anymore - it seems so extreme in all directions but their is something missing from the modern west when it comes to those quiet people who really did want to hide away in a stable little job and our modern world is destroying them... they are all in government jobs or unionised corporates on tax payer life support now.. what is the next big thing that creates the export dollars to pay for em.
maybe i just spent too much time with pacific people, who love their shitshacks and the fact that a couple of hours a day in the vege patch is enough work.
they only do capitalism sporadically for beer money
Hell those raised in prosperity would have persecuted the oppressive parents of yor...
Living within your means has always been timeless wisdom.
That has seemed obvious to me for decades. But during the boom years, everybody thought I was nuts for not joining them in their delusion that finally prosperity was eternal, that we could all live at the expense of someone else, and selling yourself into indetured servitude to the man was a smart thing to do.
They ain't so happy now that the reversion to the mean has started..... silly people.... WTF were they thinking?
