All I can say is, don't go hungry for your ideals. My best friend is without a job and refused to apply at a pet store because of puppy mills. It's great that she wants to stand for something, but we don't live in a time where we can afford to refuse any job. I understand your position, I felt like that very much when I was younger, but I don't have a lot of options and right now, it's starting to look like either join the military or get an illegitimate job that doesn't have benefits, job security or retirement options. Since I've been nearly homeless and have also been a squatter (lived in a foreclosing house, praying the bank would be kind), I'm going to choose what benefits me, going against what I truly believe. I understand the need for the miltary and respect our soldiers greatly, but I'm a passificist. Or, at least I was. Now I get to learn how to shoot.And to the original poster,
I'm sorry for taking over your thread.
I just don't appreciate being bashed for my personal
opinions and views.
Its not like I'm trying to force it onto anyone, just stating
my feelings.
I hope you do well in life!!!
Everyone has beliefs, but most of the time, you can't change the world, or much of anything. I've signed my fair share of petitions and will continue to do so, but I also know that mostly it's futile. You could say I've given up on people, I guess, but I call it growing up. Believe in what you think is right, but don't shape your life around fighting the government.
