Participant[quote=ucodegen][quote=scaredyclassic]it might get boring be rich.
maybe its fun to slum it in 1st class. hang with the plebes.
at a certain point, if you efficiently monetixed every waking moment youd do almost nothing, it wouldnt be worth it. why take a walk in central park? too expensive, too costly.[/quote]
Looks like you don’t understand the concept. Doing nothing also costs money. It is the time that passes that matters, whether walking in central park, waiting on a plane or doing nothing. The question is; what do you get for the time spent.That means; if you need to get from point A to B – do you
1) Choose commercial, wait in line – nearly 2 hours, potentially being mobbed by people who want you to lend money for what ever scheme they have in mind, deal with people who must appear to know you, etc. Deal with waiting at baggage claim and yet more people.2) Fly private for significantly more money, but all the time spent is all time in the air. You are also able to work on the plane if need be. Embarking and disembarking is quick.
I remember the few times I flew private (Corporate sponsored). One time was from San Diego to Nellis AFB. Total flight time about 40min. Virtually no time spent waiting on the ground. If I was going commercial, it would have been approx 4 hours total.
By the way, hanging with the plebes is not what you think when a person is crazy rich. People change in the presence of that much money.[/quote]
was he recognizeably famous back then?

Participantthe stomach touch didnt offend me physically. i just dont want any hint of any problem so it was disturbing only in a boundary cross type way. since the overarching goal is Zero Problems, its best to.ignore and avoid.
if i touched a woman on her stomach, that would likely be offensive physically.
Participantno.
Participantlay low. avoid problems.
Participant[quote=Blogstar]The two cases with the much older women were because my mother died when I was 10 and my dad was a drunk and I went door to door trying to make some money. From these chores, I bought my own school clothes and much of my own food starting in Middle School. They would have never done it if they knew I had a mom. They creeped on the vulnerability. Two from one neighborhood.
You are a traitor to your own gender. So many of them these days. You keep getting triggered by me, maybe you should quit being a jerk and really ask yourself why that is?[/quote]
a woman recently touched my stomach in the wokplace unprompted with no explicable context. im pretty sure if i did that id be sued.
Participantone reason a person might delay in accusing trump is his habit of suing the living shit out of anyone who crosses him.

lets not get crazy. its just a tax, like on cigs.[/quote]
Good thing you’re not running for President. Not sure which group will vote for you…I’m thinking big government and socially conservative. Will your country be fascist like Germany, or will it be a dictatorship like Iraq?[/quote]
i better run this tat tax by some focus groups first.

Similarly – there is next to no dress code in our high school…I guess all generations have felt the same way ….[/quote]Children now dress a lot more provocative then when I was younger, but does this mean increased promiscuity? Does this make them a slut? When I speak to Boomers who lived in the 60’s and 70’s (pre AIDS epidemic) I heard sexual promiscuity was even greater than now. Personally, my girls will never wear a bikini to school with a denim vest…unless maybe they have swim class after school.[/quote]
i agree. as part of the old patriarchy, i think dress should be appropriate for girls. but i think this,would be filed under blaming the victim or slut shaming or impermisdible control of female bodies and,autonomy. i think this kind of parenting may be perceived as reinforcing old stereotypes that the female body us property to be protected.
npr says gender norms are out 4 millenials…

Participant[quote=yamashi][quote=scaredyclassic]except about tattoos. i HATE tattoos. 40 percent of the dang millenials have tattoos! its ridiculous. i cant stand the marking of the human body. not just because it is contrary to the Torah and jewish tradition. i just think its distespectful to the body.
The source of this prohibition is Leviticus 19:28: “You shall not etch a tattoo on yourselves.” does tradition mean nothing to these people? G-d says dont scribble on your bodies! why must you deface the holy vessel that is your body?!
i would like to see tattoos discouraged, perhaps with a large tax …[/quote]
How about we create a state where the government controls everything? Not only what we put on our body, but what we also put in it and how it moves? Speaking of utopian societies, do you want it more like A Brave New World, or 1984?[/quote]

Participant…shit…youre right…
Participantyeah, the oneida community, founded in1848, weird christian cult, had no slut shaming at all. but i like them, because the results of sex were shared communally….
oneida… they are the silverware people. crazy bit of history…. from wikipedia:
Complex marriage E
The Oneida community believed strongly in a system of free love known as complex marriage,[5] where any member was free to have sex with any other who consented.[6] Possessiveness and exclusive relationships were frowned upon.[7] Unlike 20th-century social movements such as the Sexual Revolution of the 1960s, the Oneidans did not seek consequence-free sex for pleasure, but believed that, because the natural outcome of intercourse was pregnancy, raising children should be a communal responsibility. Women over the age of 40 were to act as sexual “mentors” to adolescent boys, as these relationships had minimal chance of conceiving. Furthermore, these women became religious role models for the young men. Likewise, older men often introduced young women to sex. Noyes often used his own judgment in determining the partnerships that would form, and would often encourage relationships between the non-devout and the devout in the community, in the hopes that the attitudes and behaviors of the devout would influence the non-devout.[8]In 1993, the archives of the community were made available to scholars for the first time. Contained within the archives was the journal of Tirzah Miller,[9] Noyes’ niece, who wrote extensively about her romantic and sexual relations with other members of Oneida.[1]
dammit. now i cant stop thinking about the oneida community. heres a book i gotta get…
