Obscurity has its own rewards. Not everyone has to get it.
If I understand you correctly, you're suggesting I need to work harder at getting obscurity?

- In this society you are expected to work more or less full time from, say, age 20-60. This is just a convention – so can we reject it if we don’t like it?
- Why is this convention needed? Because you need producers to have the things society needs.
This whole "convention" thing of there being a society expectation that people work from ages 20 to 60 is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.
Oh you're right!Oh come on Audrey...I'm sure someone could come up with something more ridiculous. Dont underestimate the ingenuity of the average person.
So you agree with me! LOL!But to say "you're selfish and immoral if you get off the hamster wheel!"?
Thats the stupidest thing I've ever heard. I dont need to leave any room.
But it goes against convention to be in your late 30's and not married at least once!!!! Society expects it of you. If you are not married by your late 30's, you have let society down. That's detrimental and harmful to society - people feel let down and will be disappointed in you!I guess I was already prepared for this by endless questions as to how I could be in my late 30's and still hadnt ever been married.
So you agree with me! LOL!

Well, at the very least it is completely clear to me that Bongo2 is a bona-fide socialist, as he believes that society's needs for workers/producers clearly trump that of an individual's need to follow his/her own self-determined path in life.By the way, I think Bongo is just like Hitler. For a variety of reasons.
And do note that in the progress of this, it was said that a househusband violates all sorts of morals as well...
As just a small but possibly meanigful correction, I think that Bongo said that it violated "mores", not morals. I guess these two are often conflated, but they really are different.
Didn't anyone notice that CFB called Bongo the name-we-shall-not-speak thus automatically closing the thread?
I hope no one thinks I disagree with anyone's lifestyle.
We're just a little loopy after this thread got past page 13. BTW, does anyone know what the record is on this sight?
