So I've been working on this list. Feel free to contribute! How to survive in modern society: 1. Spend/Consume 2. Accept the stats-quoe 3. Shun strange people yet promote "individuality" 4. Have complete faith in your government! 5. Western morals are the ONLY morals! 6. Collaterall damage is OK if the end result is achieved. Even if it's human life. 7. Beleive in Capitalism/Decmocracy. Or you're a terrorist. 8. Authaurity ALWAYS knows better. 9. Your ego is the most important part of you! 10. Poor people are bad, lazy people. Not a symptom of a brutal society. 11. The law is above human nature. 12. You have the freedom of speech. As long as the majority agree with what your saying. Or you're a bad person. 13. If things go wrong, it's GOT to be someone elses fault. 14. Famous people are better than you. 15. You can have "rights" only if you deserve them. You deserve them by devoting your life to some sort of Buissness/Occupation and working.
16. If you're poor it's your own damn fault and has nothing to do with flaws in the system. Rich people are to be looked up to, because they are so obviously so much better than you.
19. Think that it is completely normal to watch other people's lives on the television, rather than living your own. EDIT: Agreed. This thread has potential!
23. If a social problem can be hidden away from you in the third world, it is okay to ignore it completely. Who cares that the kid who sewed your $20 shirt got 10 cents to make it? It's SO fashionable (this week)!
25. Keep everything to yourself. 26. Media knows EVERYTHING. 27. I know everything, my religion is the right religion. All your beliefs and views are wrong.
29. Watch lots of TV so you know what to do. 30. Ensure what you say and what you do have only a slight resemblance. 31. Always take that last sip, that last bite, that last drag, because after all, it's there. 32. Support the troops by saying you support the troops. 33. While we're at it, do everything by saying you do it. 34. Avoid reading/listening to the news. It's depressing, and you don't need all that fancy schmancy information to warp your mind. 35. View other religions for the strange black magic they are, but defend your own to the death. 36. Be ready to validate your beliefs and opinions with "It's just the way I was raised" so you can end the impending uncomfortable conversation as quickly as possible.
37.Go to school, go to college, get a 9-5, work every day until you achieve "success." edit:LOVIN this topic.
38. Look after number one. Ignore everyone else. Its a one sided fight. (Anyone who like this thread should listen to Class of 99 - Sunscreen)
39. Do not attempt to change anything, ever. 40. Do not believe in anything greater than yourself, you are the king of all creation and all others are just pawns.
41. Drugs users are to be looked down upon - almost as bad as the homeless (see: mentally ill). 42. Prescription drugs are legal, healthy, and should be used at all times. 43. The government spends billions of dollars in order to kill people. Get used to it. 44. A law-abiding citizen is a happy citizen. Make money and pay your government. 45. The government was created by the people for the people- you are the happiest, most well-represented collective of individuals in the entire world.
46. Work, or you're a piece of shit, mooching off the hard working productive members of society. The best one can aspire to be in this world. 47. Do what your parents want you to do. After all, they WORKED SO HARD to get you where you are. Which is probably lost and confused amidst this insane backward ass world, but that doesn't matter. So are they. It's no excuse. They had to do it too! 48. Life's a bitch and then you die. This is supposed to be a comforting fact of life. Now go out there and get fucked up! 49. Marijuana is a terrible thing. It clouds your judgments and makes you stupid. Instead, go get shitface drunk and do stupid shit that everyone will find hilarious as they carouse through the facebook pictures the next day, or find the massive vomit stain on the carpet. Hilarious. 50. Work out, but not because it is good for your health and your mental and physical well-being. Do it so your girlfriends can call you a sexy bitch and so those big black guys h0lla aTchA as you are walking through the mall on your way to the cutest store with the absolutely cutest shoes. 51. Material objects such as cars and shoes can indeed be considered "cute".
52. Image is everything, make sure you look how other people want you to look. 53. Don't question anything that the Gov. tells you. 54. Don't be a leader, be a follower. ^^^amazing quote in your sig, so true.
53. Material things make you happy 54. Make sure to look down on others to increase your own self worth 55. Follow the crowd, they know what they're doing.
