Making claims that redefine context so that black is white and white is black doesn't do anything for me.

Because when the master, that provides you food and shelter says jump, you better reply with "how high".
These are the words of a slave.
The better way to live is without a master. If you have skills, then you have no master.
I tell my kid if she wants something, she has to work to get it. If she wants clean room, she must clean it. I don't have to bark orders. It is a very effective life lesson.
Work isn't doing what you are told, work is doing what you need to do in order to get what you want.
My boss doesn't tell me what to do, because he doesn't know how to do my job. The people I do work for contact me, and ask me to work for them. I don't ask people for a job. They are not my masters, they are people who need my skills. And there are plenty of them out there.
The problem is the ICs who control the money supply. You don't get that, and obviously you never will, because of the way you think. You blame government for the problems created by the ICs, because you don't want to see your master for what it is.

You're all about control huh? You imitate the dominator model in your own home. You are the master, they are the slaves.
A sustainable, work to eat economy is a pie in the sky idea. Its not going to last ten years let alone two years. The world you're defending is falling apart before your very eyes, read a paper.
Yep, because I go home and scare the family with my brutish ways.
Nice application of Alinsky Rules.
The world is not falling apart, It is in upheaval.
The idea of personal property and responsibility has been around for thousands of years, and will remain long after this hiccup.
You have Chicken Little painting with a very broad brush.
What better way to excite the panic, and push people towards this Socialist idea.
There it is! I knew you'd scream Socialist! soon enough.
I dont know why I even bother arguing with military people. Their true selves have been broken down with almost scientific precision and then built back up with the value system of the established evil empire.
I dont blame you for your selfish, greedy and short sighted opinions. They're not really yours. They've literally been beaten into you.

Clearly from your comments, what I say is dead on accurate.
You don't see work as a means to an end, you see it as doing what you are told to do.
You blame government because you are told to blame government
You refuse to see how the corporate bankers are screwing things up for everyone, because you are told to believe that corporations can do no wrong.

I mean no disrespect, but young people like you are the problem... all across the globe.
Come back in 29 years and let us know how that utopia fantasy is working out for you.

For real? A guy that was in the MILITARY doesnt want the government telling him what to do?
Irony much?

Maybe that is why I got out. Maybe just maybe? You think?
Or maybe, I choose the deal with the crap for X amount of years as a way to provide me with skills for a career.

Do you have any idea how long your types have been around? Since the dawn of man, it's called youth. I know because I was one, and I had the same flighty ideas... save the world... world peace... blah blah blah. NOT POSSIBLE. TOO MANY PEOPLE NOW. You'll get it some day.
FYI, I'm not old, unless the lower 30's is old to you.
Being forced, via taxes, by gun point or incarceration is wrong, but I must submit because the Govt provides for others.

Its been at least 29 years since Reagan got elected, and started preaching the whole free market con job, and that utopia dream did not work out at all.
Some people just don't learn anything out of life.

Is that what the military does? I thought it was just another arm of big business and government that tricks the poor into doing all the dirty work.
I'm glad you got out alive but why do you still defend military values if you rejected them when you quit?
