Now, if we're just talking about being entertained - well hells bells, I'm all for it!
But then again - that was the point of this post wasn't it...
If you wake up in your bed in the morning and just sit there all day... have you really achieved anything above sleeping all day?
NOPE. You were just "awake" for it.

Your this 2 phrase alone shows how confused and one sided you are. Is wishing for the ideals of equality, progress, justice and prosperity responsibly by each individually awakened would 'suck' as you termed it?
Does one's lack of ambition means one should be enslaved by greedy others so that they may enrich themselves at the expense of others
and as the example you brought up, lived in beachhouses, while others live in tents, fed with scaps and are fully expendable at the whim and commands of masters when all humans or beings created by our common Creator are all equal?
Awake my brother....there is more than meets the eyes least I end up truly pitying you for the 'adaptable' frog you had became....
May you continue to 'put food on the table and be delusively happy with laughter' as others awakened stand up on your behalf to implore the TPTB to be rational in its approach to humanity where none gets left behind, when you too should have responsibly stood up as a fellow human, if not for yourself, but for you family, relatives, friends and next generations.
I can only agree

There you go getting all mature and grown up again... my hypocrisy does drippith from this thread, but that's completely beside the point!
It's not so much "Enjoy Yourself" as it is "Get the hell up out the chair go do something hommie!"
Dont just look for the path all day - start walking. Sharing truth for the sake of sharing truth seems so... futile.

That, unfortunately, is your uneducated perceptions and presumptions of being 'awakened'. You do have my pity as a fellow human to another, even though you are here purely for entertainment as you confessed.
Enjoy and have fun, but should humanity of good men failed, may your laughter ring not from a mental institute called Earth where the rich and powerful rule and 'frogs' like you will be incarcerated.

It's really the model of this forum IMO.
The American Revolution initiated a series of social, political, and intellectual transformations in early American society and government. Americans rejected the oligarchies common in aristocratic Europe at the time, championing instead the development of republicanism based on the Enlightenment understanding of liberalism. Among the significant results of the revolution was the creation of a representative government responsible to the will of the people.

See the big difference here. These guys didn't sit and whine all day about what a more perfect government would look like... they actually did it.
Here again: Words without action are purely entertainment.

I am beginning to see some of my illumination, me an insignificant nobody, working on you even as your pride and ego attempt to twist my words to you liking as you confessed to action vs inaction.
Whatever, it matters not a hoot to what you think of me or what I think or how I live. At the end of the day, it is you that must think and work if not for yourself but you family, relatives and friends that combines with mine, makes up our society.
Good luck and cheers. If only everyone was as simple case as you.

Why should we care about your mocking tone, we are not here for you, we are here for ourselves.

Preaching to the choir here!
I have yet to find someone in real life that understands why I debunk bunk, especially when I say it is for my amusement. Many times the bunk spread is just funny. The thicker the bunk is spread the funnier and more entertaining it is.
I've been called many names, insulted......and the more people do, the more I laugh. Apparently being enlightened, taking the red pill (or the blue one, it's just a stupid sci-fi movie after all), living outside the Matrix (same stupid movie), knowing about TPTB and their ilk, all means you live in a state of paranoid fear. Life is too short for that. I'm smart, I'm talented, I have a great family, I have everything I need and lots of what I want. I've never been happier!!!
Give me some lunchmeat, but I'm not watching HeeHaw.....I much prefer The Smoking Gun's Dumbest Whatever.

Love you long time!
