A little Gas to the Fire.

Greed: A word commonly used by liberals, low achievers, anti-capitalists and society's losers to denigrate, shame and discredit those who have acquired superior job skills and decision-making capabilities and who, through the application of those job.

The key to accepting responsibility for your life is to accept the fact that your choices, every one of them, are leading you inexorably to either success or failure, however you define those terms.

Ok, Arbul won the thread, please lock.

"Responsibility" is a word often used by Neo-cons to denote what a person unequal at birth must do to somehow overcome the tremendous disparity put before them to achieve negligible standard of living. While at the same token, a benefactor merely has to wait for his miser to kick before the aggregate wealth of his family (again repeating that vicious cycle of market dominance) passes on. The universe is not fair, its equal.

I have a lot of trouble expressing myself in English, so I'll link to two videos that kinda touch the matter. If nothing they are good for a laugh.

YouTube - Bill Hicks on Marketing
YouTube - Bill Hicks On Compassion
YouTube - life is just a ride

I'm still gonna try to share my thoughts.
I guess I don't want to be competitive, I don't want to use my energy on that because it doesn't inspire me in any way, doesn't make me feel better, only makes me feel depressed and in one point even suicidal that I'm forced to live that style of life witch I loath so much. I'm too caring and I know I'm not the only one who feels that way.

What pisses me off the most is that ALL of that is for nothing of true value. Nothing that's worth it. It's all very shallow and meaningless, yet countless of people have suffered, are suffering and will suffer as long as some people in power remain to have that same mentality. I don't really have a system to offer that would work and solve all those problems. It's all in the mentality of people. I guess that will never change.
I'm a human god dammit! My life can not be evaluated!

Lol. Guys from USA you sometimes don't even know where some countries are located. And brain wash you have from your politicians is formidable.

When the spoken lie is more unbelivable the people are following the leader with more enthusiasm.
On the other hand US are in Iraq because of oil (Oil companies) and nothing else.
Price of galon in other, Europeian countries, is around 7 dollars so what are you talking about. US investments fonds bought all of the oil production for 5 years in advance and that is reason the rest of world has such high prices of oil barrel, blowing the prices for profit.
In Europe almost all people have health care provided by the goverment and in USA?
Go on you shelves in stores. 90% of things you find there are made all over the world. They are cheap. Try to make a calculation how much work is worth in that country it comes from and would you work for a such a fee.
And don't forget one thing. Once the China achieve all the technology they need you are out of buissnes and the rest of world as well.

NOT TRYING TO START A WORD WAR
But your statement is not true at all by any stretch. the fact is most of our oil comes from Canada. We do however get oil from the Saudis and elsewhere. Here are some facts to look at on just where the US gets it oil. Also I assume you meant Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels. This EVIL and crazy man should not be used to base an argument on. Goebbels was an evil, evil man.

Thank you, Mavric240.

Canada is awesome, Oil and Canadianpimp.

I don’t believe there is much difference in the raw fuel price between Europe and US the difference is the added taxes and fees.

Brainwashed…? I don’t think so.

Actually my geography is quite good. I can get from Stormwind all the way to Menethil Harbor without even looking at a map.

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

I have to say I enjoy this quote. Because inherently it is true. Because as we all know socialism does not work.

Socialism is a Robin Hood mentality, and does not work. Because eventually there are no rich to steal from. So in essence everyone pays the price.
