Re: Damn you, real life
I would be unable to conduct myself the way I do if I didnt have the ability to be honest about the type of person I am. Humility for all its romantic connetations, is a vital charecteristic for those who are demanding of themselves and others.
There are few things more annoying than some idiot who has never done anything trying to say definitively how something should be done.

Personal: Why my life as a responsible adult in a free society is joyous.
I have a home, a wife who loves me, two beautiful healthy kids, a great job, and total freedom to direct my life. On any given day, I have total control over my future. This is because I live in a country of limitless opportunity for those with imagination enough to see the opportunity, the courage to act on it, and the commitment to follow it through.
Our fathers and grandfathers have died to give us this birthright. I am ashamed of my spoiled and weak generation that asks for everything and returns nothing. I am ashamed of my generation which demands instant gratification and has no patience for earned rewards. I am ashamed of my generation that only seeks to be served instead of serve. They seek to be lifted up, instead of lifting up others. They are lazy, selfish, and ungrateful.
If you hate life and you look in the mirror with disgust everyday, it is your own fault. Have the courage to act and control your life.
We are blessed with limitless opportunity to utilize our talent and craft our own destiny!
Have a nice day.

Nice list Da, but he lives in Australia now, doesn't have full citizenship, is restricted in where he can go and what he can do and the founders of the country he lives in weren't heroic freedom fighters but a bunch of british criminals.

Disapointed in life? Get a hobby. Become a nihilist.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.
