[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a personality thing: I want all the opportunities and all the responsibilities.  Others don’t.  I don’t want to live in a place where everything is done for me but there is a cap on what I can do/achieve.  Others may be ok with it.  [/quote]

I think that’s fair. My personality is much more comfortable with a “cap.” I’m so over hyper capitalism. If you’re like me, it’s all about figuring out ways to resist. [/quote]

How about you do what you need to do to live the way you want and let others do the same.  I don’t want to get in your way and you shouldn’t get in mine.  [/quote]

+1. Then be over hypercapitalism. I live a very not flashy life here. I’m not relying on others to do as I’m doing in order to be comfortable with my own life choices. I don’t need to engage in the meaningless semantics of “resisting”; I am also not imposing my lifestyle on others.[/quote]

Good for you but don’t tell anyone what to be over or under.  Just do your thing. [/quote]

Um, I think that was the PP’s point: you can have your thing without imposing it on others.

Reading comprehension goes a long way.[/quote]

First thing PP said was a directive: “then be over hyper capitalism.”  Isn’t that telling someone else what to do in any plain reading?  How is that a reading comprehension issue on anyone’s part but yours?  [/quote]

The poster being referred to was someone who felt the need to resist…resist what? Live your life. What exactly do you need to resist? You seem to be very invested in opposing someone who is saying you can live the life you want within the current system. No one is making you splurge at Target or live in your McMansion.[/quote]
