Yeah, That's right.
It sucks big time here.
It is so much better where you all live now.
You are all so lucky not being here in Australia. Stay away!! It is too far away, anyway. Not the worth the effort to travel here. Nothing but trouble here and really hard times for every one.

Life here in Gaza hard. Was planned to move family to Australia. Even buy tickets after 2 years for save money. Sell all domaims for cheap to get money. No refund for tickets. But if so bad we will stay in Gaza. Thankyou thankyou for warning. You save my family from much trouble. Thankyou thankyou.

And in this society we have companies 24/7 working on creating new desires, just to get us to consume more and more.

I have nothing against developement, but a lot of this is just pointless and only make people unhappy.

What about the satisfaction from reaching that consumer. I would hardly call it pointless.

I wonder why some feel so threaten about this subject ;D
Posted the thread so people can stop a minute think and reflect.

Work is good and necesary, work to much to buy things you dont need is pointless and a waste of your life.

NO the thread is fine the problem I have is you arestating you're opinions as fact, THEY are not It is not for you to tell anyone what is fruitful and what is pointless. Go live you're life and do whatever (within the law) you like. Stop telling other people they should think like you THAT IS By far one of the biggest problems in the world IMO NOT A FACT, My opinion
JUST relax and be happy coming from a guy I recall in the chatroom wanting xx,xxx for POKERGUIDE.com sell it for xxx you don't need the stress go relax take it easy.

BEACHIE and JOE very funny with the Australia line I know where you guys are coming from keep people away from you're Happy Life, always wanted to go to Australia but you guys say stay away so I will let you have all the fun and keep the good times to yourselves. I was watching POKER tourney on TV from Australia that casino in Melbourne Looks great. You guys got the life.

Please develope what you dont think is correct.

It's like scuba diving vs. snorkling.

I've been scuba certified for many years... till I realized that snorkling is 90% as fun, often better. But there is little money to be made off snorklers (just mask, fins, snorkle, about $50 total), and THOUSANDS to be made off scuba divers (BC, tanks, wetsuit, fins, computer, regulator, safety gear, weights, lights, boats, equipment bags, lessons, books, and on and on... about $1,500 to get started)

I tried a beach dive again last weekend. Hours of prep, renting my gear, carrying over 100 lbs of gear (2 tanks) around, poorly fitting wetsuit... it SUCKED so I gave up and snorkled. I saw MORE giant guitar fish, groups, stingrays, and other life than my pals who scuba'd nearby that day.

So lets compare: snorkling is about 1000x safer, 1000x cheaper, 1000x easier, and about 90% as enjoyable (being generous there). Actually snorkling is WAY more enjoyable... I can start and stop when I want (no decompression or dive tables), no need for a wetsuit so I'm way more comfy, and all my gear weighs less than 10lbs and can be carried in 1 hand. I don't need lights because there is no loss of color or light in the 30' of water where I hang out (and that's where most ocean life is).

So why do people scuba? It's HEAVILY MARKETED; the demand is CREATED.

Isn't this the story of modern life? People are like sheep, do what they're told, and they're told to buy into all kinds of crap that doesn't really make sense.

Great, Great post!

Many times people do things because its "cool" rather than enjoyable. I can assure you saying you scuba dive makes you sound more adventurous and interesting than saying you snorkel, but at the end of the day, does it really matter how cool you seem? I guess to some people it does...

You got it JuniperPark.

Hierarchy of human needs.
1. Physiological
2. Safety
3. Love/Belonging
4. Esteem
5. Actualization

Companies aim mostly in the first 3 steps of human needs.

That's the problem, not the clothes and the car. Sell the computer...then buy the clothes and the car!
