Apparently, the The System frowns upon pooping in the woods when the woods is actually a very public park.

The system *IS* corrupt and unfair, unfortunately not much can be done about it. Heck, even the Bible talks about this stuff and how it will never get better. It all falls down to sin/evil. Everyone by default has some evil in them. These days money seems to be what everything revolves around and the Bible talks even about that. The love of money is the root of all evil. Whether you believe in it or not, the teachings are pretty spot on in lot of life aspects considering some of those manuscripts were written thousands of years ago. Comes to show stuff has never really changed and probably won't.

IMO the only thing you can really do is think of those in even worse situations and be happy you're not there. It's kinda sad that it comes to that, but it is what it is. As corrupt as the government/system is, it could be much much worse. At least you have a place to stay and food. Just need to keep being a slave to the system.

They need to bring back dueling for conflict resolution. That would keep rich asswipes from hiding behind bags of money and lawyers. Attitudes would improve all over if people knew their actions could land them on a field with a pistol or sword in their hand to prove their "point".

I just need a decent woman to lay with but apparently if you're not a thot reading snitch you're not good enough, I've done everything I can to find a woman who isn't a political shill and found nothing.

I'm not a snitch, therefore I don't deserve to deal with their bullshit nor do I want a woman who puts them before me. I am trapped in a life that only allows me prostitution for sexual release which I'm not willing to accept, it's a horrible horrible horrible situation I am in.

The rich could just hire professional duelists or send hired goons to kill you. The rich only consider (some) other rich people fully human, the poors or commoners lack the standing to challenge them and no honor is lost in ignoring their challenges.

They sorta do that, except they send your kids to go dual at war instead.

But yeah, they should be the ones on the front lines.

LOL, you posted this same exact thing in the first world problems thread... Deja vu?

The realization I just need a decent woman to lay with but apparently if you're not a thot reading snitch you're not good enough, I've done everything I can to find a woman who isn't a political shill and found nothing. I am not a thot snitch, therefore I don't deserve to deal with their bullsh*tnor do I want a woman who puts them before me.

Life and the 'systems' are fair. We all get the same opportunities, some choose to squander them.

If your not in position to take advantage of them then move, you're not a tree.

some advice my father said to me when I was younger:

Life isn't always fair. Life doesn't owe you anything. The world doesn't owe you anything. No one anywhere owes you anything. If you want something in life then work for it.

It's because human nature hasn't changed over the years. Our situation as a whole may have changed with technology & industry, but we're the same as we were a thousand or two thousand years ago. If everyone did their part to (1) do good work in their jobs & at home with their families, and (2) contribute to their local community, I think like 99% of this planet's issues would be resolved. We just have so many dumb situations to deal with. We produce enough food to feed 10 billion people, and yet many in our current 7.6 billion population are starving. We have more access to food, medicine, and technology than ever, and yet we can't really help all of those people living in rotten situations in places like North Korea, where a dictator limits access. It's crazy.
