    I decided to make a list of my values, or a personal statement. Here's a rough draft. Critique and advice much appriciated. Also, where would this be more appropriate besides Random Thoughts?

    Personal Statement

    1. Art is life, Life is art
    2. Question everything
    3. No censorship
    4. Everyone deserves love, peace, freedom, and equality
    5. Expression is life, life is a stage
    6. everyday, decide to have a good day
    7. Fuck the police
    8. Fuck big corporations
    9. Fuck the man
    10. Fuck authority
    11. Work only as hard as you are paid to
    12. Always rebel
    13. Never surrender
    14. Never obey
    15. Never give in
    16. Never conform

    your life is going to be unnecessarily difficult.

    you're also going to get an STD.

    Sounds like typical hippy bullshit that almost everyone gives up at 30.

    hmm, that's funny. Hasn't been so far. I've lived this way all my life, and only recently attempted to put it into words. open your mind maybe?

    To 'partly' answer or critique what you wrote.----I do agree with number 8 thats for sure,"fuck big corporations".--I also agree with number 6 .----I think in some other things one just has to take a relaxed "common sense" more open minded view and approach.And sometimes the right thing is not black or white but somewhere in the middle.--

    I'd normally agree, but the OP says he's 21, so maybe he'll give it up by 22....

    I'm sorry, I didn't think free thinking was something you grew out of shortly before you buy a suit and tie and become a sheep.

    if you think that is free thinking, then you should have your head shoved farther up your ass

    reciting the hippie handbook is the opposite of free thinking.

    and the term is sheeple.

    The 'angry rebel' approach is cuteish when you are 12, but a more relaxed and openminded view gives you a more satisfying life.
