You are free to flip your burgers or operate the elevator. But don't expect me to give you tip.

Those without degrees usually lack the imagination, creativety and discipline to properly contribute over the long haul. I couldn't have advanced to being an officer of the company without a degree. SO laugh all you want. When you attain that level of success, let me know

I won't hold it against you if your goals are not set as high since it's more important to you to be who you are and I can respect that.

Oh yes, high goals. Excuse lowly little me that I don't want to be a buisness executive and live in a mansion, that I can be content with life itself and not obsess over materialism.

A mansion, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH obseesed over materialism. hahahahhahahahaha
I live in a very modest house. My goal is to get my daughter through school so I can retire and play golf.
Actually quite a low goal you see, but that's who I am.

It's tough to be content with your life if you are starving... or your children are

[Chemical Ollie]

I live in a mansion. But that's only because it's in a low-rate rural area. I would never be able to afford a similar house in a city suburb.

[rah]

So, OS, what are your goals?

[Jon Miller]

my goal is to be a bum and live off of my SO

durring the day I will do physics and read books and play games

my first problem is that I don't have an SO right now, much less a wealthy one

To enjoy life.

There's always a reason for making a law, there was a reason for Idi Amin's law's, Stalin's laws, and Hitler's laws.

[Ming]

That's right... if you can't win an argument with facts, just mention Hitller and the rest... good logic...

[Chemical Ollie]

There's a reason for Ming's law too...

The fact is that advertising is largely a form of pollution. Brand based advertising exists because there really isn't that much difference between quality products, so they have to invent some BS story or image to make you think they are different from all the other shoemakers or carmakers.

Who pays for advertisements? You do, in the money that is tacked on to the price of something you buy in order to pay Ming and Co. For the infinite pleasure of doing that you find that you cannot move through our society without being assaulted by moronic, and occasionally pornographic, images.

While there is need of some way to inform people about new and interesting products, in many cases advertising takes advantage of people's irrationality - they'd rather suffer advertisements and pay for them, than pay taxes.

The problem with schools is that they are underfunded. The public is too lazy and tightfisted to provide adequate resources, so the schools have to force children to watch advertisements instead of learning.

I've gotten more complaints that your posts are a form of pollution... and after reading through your latest...

I would have to agree

Big deal.

As if I care when you have to resort to that instead of addressing the point.

[Ming]

There is no need to address you post when all you do is rant silliness, Come up with something close to being meaningful, and I'll take the time to respond.
