Government to censor the Internet

a) Don't have a family (your free time is your own)

Even without a family I cant see how people have time for it all.

When I am on my death bed I am sure I will look back and say "I really wish I watched more Television"

My idea of a dream life is to go overseas exploring for 3 months per year. I would then spend the remaining 9 months not working (except on my own projects) and just bum around all day long watching TV/Movies and playing video games.

At 16 that would be great but as an adult I find that really sad.

To each their own. I actually have similar thoughts when people start talking about their family and work as reasons why they can't do things they want to do. Sounds depressing.

Personally, if I didn't have to work every day, I know that I would be a much happier and creative person than I am now. I never understood the 'I don't know what I would do with my life if I don't work' types. If I didn't have to work, there would be a million things I could be doing.

Working 'for the man' and not having time to have the freedom to do as you want, to me that is sad.

You've gone off on a total tangent, who said anything about working 'for the man'. Why didn't you become a creative type? No don't answer that. Lets get back to the topic before I write something that gets me banned.

I think you took it too personally. We all work 'for the man' dude including me.

I think a lot of the time people end up complaining for the sake of it. I know personally i think 'oh i want more time to play games' etc, then i get time and can't be bothered anyway. It's all just adjusting and balancing; you do something so long that when circumstances change, it's always going to be jarring initially. We had a baby recently and while i can feel my gaming time slipping away (and being somewhat depressed at the thought), as time goes on and you start to weigh up the alternative scenario you find yourself in, you realise it's just different, not necessarily better or worse inherently. As long as you try and make the best of your situation, that's all you can really do.

I agree completely on your stance on work though. For me, personally my job started out as something i loved doing, and if i was doing it in my free time i'm sure i'd still love doing it. There are hints of love still, but most of it has been sucked dry by the very nature of it being a job. I'm a website designer (my post has some relevance to the thread see!) yet i feel my ability to be creative has also diminished - from years of torture doing the same basic websites for pretty much noone but deadbeat clients.

Then again it's just a job and i don't want to be in a heavy stress, truly creative environment either - it's bad enough as it is! You can't think too much about hating your job though. Probably all of us spend more time with work colleagues than loved ones...how messed up is that! But there's little you can do about it till much later in life. The only thing that drives me to work, is that the more i earn now, the sooner i can stop earning and just relax!

Yep, you understand. It's not about not being creative, it's about work and mandatory routines that society imposes that limits what we really want to do and fulfilling all we can be.

can anyone recommend a vpn?

Not sure if it would work for masking you for torrenting but it certainly works for making Netflix (Hulu, etc) think you are located in the US so you get superior content:

No I don't work for 'the man' at all. If you are going on about general governance Australia really has it pretty sweet, unless you have an overt sense of entitlement - which many kids seem to have these days.

A thats your problem, society is not limiting you or your expression, you are limiting yourself.

Why do you have to work everyday? You have no family to tie you down and depress you, so why slave for "The Man"?

Why not quit work, be free and happier doing a million things?
