Edit: Do anny of you know the opposite word of "Spoils"?

That depends on which meaning of spoils you're implying to.

[henbruas]

I'm thinking of reading 1984. Is it worth it?

[Bonna86]

Been engaged for one year now. How time passes you by!

I'm thinking of reading 1984. Is it worth it?

That's a rather silly question, isn't it? I'll give you a laconic answer:

 

Worth it!

[Getingar]

How bleak and bland this world is.

Has it been a good weekend so far?

[Bear^]

Weekend is over and it's back to work again. How much you long for the weekend to come and when it come at last it's only a breeze and then it's back to work.

 

Ah well, we're forever slaves to the economy

[henbruas]

Ah well, we're forever slaves to the economy

 

Ha, I'm not!

 

For this week, that is. Vacation!

The engine in our society is fueled by time. Your time.

[Getingar]

Ah well, we're forever slaves to the economy

Only if you want to.

 

Nothing stands in the way of you picking up your spear, moving to a house in the forest and hunting rabbits all day.

The government will still nag you about taxes.

And time cannot be stopped regardless of attempts and tries. It moves on and doesn't care if it crushes you underneath its feet.

Perhaps we're as much slave to the economy because of our need to walk to a store and buy our food. Something to think about. I doubt today's humans would survive in the wild for to long, we're to depended on the supermarket to survive in the wild anymore. Unless you're Les Stroud, Bear Grylls or Chuck Norris.

[Slimda]

If we were to live in a way where we lived in the nature, without the help of "supermarkets" and such, the Human Species would die out. There's a reason there isn't billions of monkeys walking/climbing around in the world. Nature couldn't support it.

 

So, "slaves" of economy? More like "slaves" of modern life.

[Bear^]

Excellent put Slimda and I agree with you, we have evolved into what we are today and done what we had to do in order to survive

[2ball_]

Bear Grylls is a phony!!

[Slimda]

And may I add, if you have a sudden lust for the primitive life, spend a weekend or a whole week in the norwegian alps. It's a wonderful experience, filled with our glorious nature and mountains.

[Getingar]

I'm quite positive I couldn't survive alone for a year in the wild up here, seeing as the temperature here goes beyond -40 degrees in the winter. But in the middle east or the rainforest the temperature wouldn't be a problem.

[cupocoffee]

I should definitely go to bed now. I should also stop grilling my lap/groin with my laptop.
