your lifestyle = mostly work
my lifestyle = mostly pleasure
if you wanna talk about 10 days/months/years from now, you should take into account the fact you could be dead by then.

by the time i'm dead, i won't care about being regarded as a "worthless bum", or anything really. when you're dead, you dont experience anything.

not really, no.
i do want to be known as some of these things while i'm living though... that doesn't require me to 'work' btw.

Dude you don't make sense. And why are you comparing extremes. That's a bad way to argue a point. Why don't you try comparing the majority of Americans who slave to their employers, and aybe a middle class person from someplace like Spain, and ask who would have a better life.
Why do you think money is the end all of happiness. I guess you were raised on American values, so to think otherwise would go against your roots.
And about the drinking age for some of you critisizing what I said before. Before you automatically assume that all the drinking law prevents is drinking, use some rationality and expand your thinking. Ask yourself, what is the drinking law preventing a person under 21 from doing. It's not preventing them from drinking, because knowing someone over 21 can garentee the purchase of alchohol. It's not preventing drinking, but rather what goes along with drinking.
It's preventing the younger crowd from going out to places of social interaction. Really, the only places for teens to go out would be someone's house or car or street. Maybe an underage club where they play shit music. Think of the options for kids to do in other countries and think of the options for kids to do in the US. The amount goes dows significantly, preventing growth and maturity.
For example, John Digweed is coming to my city, but I can't go see him because it's a 21+ show. I have to go up to Vancouver to see him. If I didn't have that option, I wouldn't be able to see him. Know tell me, genuises, is this situation not affected by the drinking law? Is my ability to participate in a wide variety of things to do impaired by the drinking law? Kids in other countries, like Germany, don't have this problem, they actually can have that option.
But you guys always accotiate the drinking law with drinking. I don't expect much else from American thinking though. Maybe aquisition of money is your only means of happiness. Good luck with that, though.
And before you critizise me, I am working hard at the moment aquiring an accounting degree at my university, so my opinions don't stem from some lazy person's perspective. They stem from, you know, thinking.
