Oppressed?

Damn, the boring thing comes back to bite me in the ass!
Even-steven?

I know it's a cop out, and against the rules, but whatever, it's about the message...

"If a person does beautiful work under external command we admire what he does, but we despise what he is"

I thought my provocation would work eventually.

Yes, I feel very oppressed playing about on my computer at work.
God life is hard.

That was quite a lot of useless waffle really, imho.

Thanks for atleast making the effort, appreciated.

 

Really? You get payed to fuck around on a computer at work? Quite the gravey train huh? Sounds very fulfilling...
...Try not to fall asleep.

ZW

 

Yep.

Thanks to the computer it is.

Nagh, I never do.
Apart from when I'm listening to Mr Chomsky.

Seriously, when a persons say: "It's obvious to most people" (or words to that effect)...I don't believe them. It feels like a self qualifier for their BS.

 

I believe these things are obvious to most people...

Aaah, well some people are put off by things aren't they?

I post mostly for the lurkers anyway.

Appreciate the civil exchange though...

Cheers to all my brothers and sisters across the pond, up north, and indeed all around the world! :cheers2:

Yeah, I gotta nice buzz... ~iii<.. life is good!

 

I guess so. It was too garbled.

 

yes

 

how so? care to explain?

 

I know, you look sooo oppressed.

 

oh don't be fooled, he's very oppressed. This is a terrible dictatorship, remember? We're all caged animals with no rights whatsoever, you just can't tell. You're actually quite controlled and abused. /sarcasm

 

it causes much distress

 

People who think it is so horrible to live America can go live in the slums of Kenya for a few months.

 

yeah sure it's all relative but oppression is real and it is here in america.

people who think everyone in america is born into an equal playing field with true freedom is living in a rainbow dream world where unicorns and the easter bunny frolic
give me a break

 

could you give examples?
the only thing I can think of is people with rich/powerful connections getting hookups, but I hardly see that as worthy of labeling as "oppression". I feel I can do anything I put my mind to... Besides having to sneak around if I wanna smoke pot, I can't think of anything I can't do without "oppression"...

 

Lets give a perfect example, say freedom of leaving a state or even the country? I have a cousin that got charged for a big bag of weed and it brought him a felony.

A year ago he was planning to perhaps retire down in Australia but was denied a U.S passport due to his felony. The way politicians in government haved lawed up everything "for the sake of the children" in this country the last few decades they are passing felonies out like candy to the American public.


Felonies come with a steep cost,
1. you have a felony you can't vote,
2. can't own a gun
3. can't be resorted to any political party
4. can't run for no office
5. can't leave the state
6. can't leave the country or perhaps make it impossible through red tap to do so.
7. nor get any remote decent job, and much much more.

Basically The U.S government doesn't except you as a U.S citizen any longer and can do what ever the fuck they want to in trampling on your constitutional rights and you can't even leave if you don't like it.

This could be the reason at large why we have low voting registration numbers the pass 20 years.

that's why I don't commit felonies.

 

you sound like a pussy to me

 

I may not agree with some of the laws, but it can't be terribly surprising when a law is enforced, no? I'd rather be called a pussy and have a clean record and a good career than be one of those "rebel" types who go nowhere.
