A Thread To Talk About Anything.

[Otto_West]

Ok, somebody talk about anything as I am bored.

[Pandora]

You know what you can do when you're bored?

You can clean your house!

You're not solving my boredom here Pandora.

[Pandora]

Just start cleaning!

[WendyDarling]

Activism. Lately, I've been in this mode of needing to provide plans for change, but there's so much wrong out there that I'm having trouble narrowing down where to place my efforts.

[Otto_West]

No, not time yet.

What preparations specifically?

[WendyDarling]

Research so far and the laying out ideas for my intentional women's only community. Repeal and replace of our current government. Public owned medical partnerships. Restructuring the educational system.

Why, are you in the mood for some type of physical protest?

Here's a keep-boredom-at-bay guide for Otto:

Keep after him, Pandabear! Make Otto check off each box!

I like the every person goes on strike idea, ie. nobody reports to work, until some major governmental reforms occur.

Except if you go on strike you'll get fired by your employer.

[WendyDarling]

When you go on strike in essence you are firing your employer. In this case, every one of them would be fired.

Doesn't work that way in the land of the slave and fee.....

I understand that you cannot imagine a day in which US citizens by and far have had enough of big business and its government, enough to take action and say, "fuck you!" but such a day or even two is possible with the right band of leaders. I believe it would take a band of leaders who act as one to spearhead such an enormous operation to get nearly the whole country to strike. What a beautiful sight it would be to see the power of a nation transferred back into the hands of its people.

[Magnus Anderson]

You know what you can do when you're bored?

You can clean your house!

Why would anyone do that?
Just hire someone to do the job.

[Mr Reasonable]

I want to start a non profit to help refugees have an easier time moving into Magnus Anderson's back yard.

[The Eternal Warrior]

I want to fuck more and do more drugs and have a couple more really good meals.

[Pandora]

Just hire someone to do the job.

That's what Jews say too. Too good for manual labor, I guess, need to be in management positions and just tell others what to do and have them do all the dirty work.

I don't see it happening. That's one reason why unions are failing. There will always be people who are willing to work for half the wage, messing things up for everyone else. And McCain needs to go. Free trade means somebody's going to take your job away from you, for less, and companies are going to pocket money saved; ultimately, good for corporations, and bad for workers rights. And being 'more competitive' really means cutting costs at the workers' expense. Don't like your wages being dropped and your worker's rights slowly being taken away? It's okay, Abu there will work for less and not complain about it, and company will profit more and eventually 'boost' the economy.

It's good to clean-up after yourself, to take care of your house so that it is a home, and it is also therapeutic, which is just to say it is psychologically rewarding as well.

When you take care of the small things and menial concerns in your life, your environment -- e.g. hygiene, cleanliness, physical shape, keeping records and affairs in order, etc. -- you build up an ethic and confidence which provide stability and control and lead to achieving greater and greater things. It starts with taking care of yourself and staying on top of your affairs.

But if you have the money, which I am pretty sure most of people here do, why not pay someone else to do the job?
It saves time and helps you focus on more important things.
Imagine if everyone did everything on their own.
What would happen? Noone would get anywhere.

Ancient peoples used slaves for the menial labor.
Basically, their workers had no rights whatsoever.
Nowadays, we just pay people to do the job.

They say "time is money".
I say "time is power".
You want to have as much free time as possible.
How can you have any free time if you focus on menial tasks?
I understand when someone is poor and can't afford a cleaning service.
But most people here aren't really poor.
In Italy, I recall, a waiter earns more than 1,500 EUR per month.
That's more than enough to afford a cleaning service.
Here, where I live, that's an above average pay.
Far far above average since our average is like 400 EUR.
