I guess my wants are a little dull, but at this point I would be happy to generate enough revenues to comfortably support my family and go on the occasional cruise.
Modern house in the countryside and regular exotic holidays are all I want

What Simmo said.
I want to buy a two-storeyed apartment in my town, a house near the forest to enjoy the nature and a lot of other things. And have a great success with my site :bigsmile:
to take over the world …… and shiny things
……….. what the Prof said.
You all have a very businesslike approach to things, but not me, i like to believe there is some greater purpose, some great battle that must be won, and it is my destiny to take part in it
As odd as that may sound
I often wonder about my ancestors that lived hundreds of years ago, how did they live, what was their life like, were they happier people, i think they were happier, and was the world a better place, i bet it was that too, so what can i do to somehow restore order and make things better, not just for me but for everyone i like, not like some saint or anything but in the big picture you are judged by what you did to make things better, i want my soul to remain free of guilt for all of eternity, i want to face myself and stare right into my own eyes and feel myself fill with this great power because i am better than all those who never gave a fuk about anything other than themselves
Everything in my life has led me to something else, like some wizard on a magical journey i gather all i find and put it inside of me and it makes me a better person, i found myself here, who knows why, perhaps just to meet one person who can inspire me, i don’t know, i don’t think about it too much.
But i want to know the answers, i want to know everything, i don’t believe what i’ve been told and what i’m being told, i know this world is not perfect but why not at least try to make it perfect, what harm is there in that, nobody does anything, except for the Americans, they just do the wrong thing, i will not allow myself to give up and live without hope
The world needs a vision, and i have it, and that is what i want to put into place, it is the ultimate dream of mine, yet i find myself still quite far away from achieving this, still i go on hoping that the path i am walking will lead me to where i want to go.
Sounds corny eh, u should come take a step into my mind for a day, u will never be the same.
Anyway, those are all nice things you mentioned but most of you have already attained them or are very close to it, there’s gotta be something else that motivates you.
I mean yes i would like to live on a tropical island with a harem of pretty girls, of course, but there has to be more, i can’t just sit and watch the world die and all the things i like dissapear, it just doesn’t feel right, yes i am a psycho 100%, but that’s besides the point, who is making decisions for the future on my behalf, what gives them the right, who the fuk ever told u that u could speak for me, i want to know, i want to get what i need and make things right.
That is my obtuse mentality for seeking this great power, it is pure vengeance in it’s truest form, somebody has to pay for a lifetime of slavery, and we are all slaves in the big picture, we all sacrifice doing the things that bring us true hapiness in order to survive, and that is just wrong, no person should ever have to worry about where they will sleep, what they will eat, etc
It is my intention to hunt down those responsible and have them face me
Perhaps there is no place for my kind, but if i go down it will be with a big gun in my hand you can be sure, i just can’t help feeling this way, there are millions like me who for whatever reason have this urge, this feeling that something just ain’t right
If you think about it logically, most of our ancestors fought like hell, even recently in WWII, and we were bred to fight, so why are we being lulled to sleep these past few years, what happened, did we all decide to get along, i don’t remember agreeing to that, we’re all gonna put down our guns and trust eachother with our lives, WTF, i don’t know, i have this eery feeling.
Anyway, now that you’re convinced i’m a psycho, that is the motivation behind my idea of world dominance, not just to kick the crap out of those who got it comin, but to put it all to an end once and for all and make things right.
There has to be something more you all want, you must be curious about something, what about the origin of life, or mysteries of the past, people search for things instictively, what are you all searching for, if you don’t know then how will you know when you find it, i’m curious, i don’t wanna hear the same nice house etc stuff, i want to know what you really want, i find it interesting stuff, the weirder the better.
Cmon somebody show me some creative flare, escape from reality and jump into fantasy land. Make a wish
I’m with you on some of your grand ideas…the world and all its people are half asleep. We need to wake up and question what’s going on around us. Unfortunately we ‘the people’ seem to be slipping a state of powerless acceptance, that there is nothing we can do to improve the world and all its problems. Government’s no longer listen to their people (did they ever?). Maybe I just have a rose tinted picture of the past, like you, but people seemed to unite and stand against government decisions that they didn’t agree with and now we just seem to believe there is not a lot we can do and as a result do nothing…we all just sit on our couches in front of our TV’s eating c**p and rotting.
As for the idea of us being bred for fighting, I’m not sure that’s entirely true. Yes violence is part of our nature, but the answer to all our problems is not fighting and vengeance. I would like to believe the answers lie in communication, understanding and acceptance of this multicultural, hugely diverse and amazing world in which we live. Sadly I don’t actually believe we are capable of this. Unfortunately all our governments are full of corrupt and greedy fat cats and the people are too busy being hypnotised by their TV’s and trapped in our consumer lifestyles.
I would like people to wake up and enjoy life and the world around them. To all work towards building a better world, or rather repair the one we’ve got. Love thy neighbour and all that…
(I would also like lots of tropical holidays!)
(And for David Attenborough to rule the world)

It was all fun and games before it turned into work. It was self employment, when a poor person like me didn’t have the capital to start a brick and mortar business. The pay also was based on results. It always sucked to be the hardest and best worker, making less than the idiot whose single accomplishment was seniority.
Hmmm… well, a house was never really one of the goals. 10-15 years ago, I was planning to be really rich without doing a lot of work. Most of my friends at the time just wanted a good job. About 5 years later, I decided it would be ok to get really rich while doing “some work.” 5 years later, I decided it would be ok to get rich while doing “a lot of work.”
Ummm, soooo, I did a lot of work over the last 5 years. What do I have to show for it? Well, I have virtually no debt (besides a damn house). I have a whole crapload of stuff. I feel like I have a bunch of shit to do today, tomorrow, the next day, and so on. Truthfully, I was a lot happier when I was making 1/20 of what I make now. Instead of spending time on the computer, I spent time working out, playing raquetball, and whatever the hell I felt like doing.
Lately, instead of being rich or trying to get richer, I’ve spent more time thinking about why I used to be happier, and what things I need to do to head in that direction again. It still might include some aspects of getting rich.

Democracy, especially at this point, is mostly a farce. It doesn’t pass a bullshit test for people to form a club – and then include me in it because they are giving me an option to vote on a leader. If I don’t like that this leader wants to take money from me, I can be put in prison. Or, I can just pay it until I vote for his friend who will do the same thing.
Don’t get me wrong… I pay 100% of my taxes, and I have a former IRS agent CPA CFE who makes sure of it. I do it ONLY because I know I will get my ass handed to me if I don’t.
The acceptance of your quote above is why I would say I switched from self identifying as a libertarian to self identifying as an anarchist. The fact is… there is very little to be done to help.
Julia_wild wrote:Maybe I just have a rose tinted picture of the past, like you, but people seemed to unite and stand against government decisions that they didn’t agree withThat was a goal of mine at one time… changing things. Now, I just think that the winners write the history. Looke at Abe Lincoln. He did a lot of terrible things, but he came out smelling like Jesus.
Look at the “founding fathers” america speaks of. What did they do? Were they so smart for writing a living, breathing constitution? Uh, no, or they would have been smart enough to say so. What they did was divide up a bunch of land for themselves and try to make it hard for others to undo it.
Seeing that it’s governmental winners writing the history to be learned in schools, they want to make it sound like voting is the way to affect change. That’s right… Vote! Convince others to vote! Talk to friends and neighbors! That’s the way to change things!
Well…. bullshit. How often do we really see any change without violence? Does the US threaten other countries with voting? ha.
That rose tinted picture of the past is supposed to affect your perception of the present in a positive way. I would say it wasn’t really like that in the past either, in most cases.
nice post Jason.
I think some really DO try to enter politics to effect a positive change …. I think Jimmy Carter (looking back on it . .. I didn’t at the time) had that goal.
I think Al Gore had that goal. And when he was cheated out of the office …. he did what I think most thinking people would have done (and do) from the very start. Not bother.
There’s just enough people of integrity involved in US politics to give cover to the corrupt and they all-too-soon find out the truth ….. that they can’t change things.
sorry to sound so pessimistic but can you blame me? I couldn’t find a Bush supporter if my life depended on it and yet there he is …
I guess I’ll never have enough to understand why some are never satisfied and instead of seeking to better a world where they live so comfortably ….. instead they willing take actions that will further destroy the very world where they live in such fashion.
I think if there are other life-forms who visit this planet ….. it is for this reason they have never bothered to make contact. They probably view us as some of the most repugnant of species to ever occupy a planet.
Somehow my simple question turned into a US political debate, it is not my job to give a fuck about the USA, it is your job to save yourselves from those you allowed to torment you. I guess i kinda started it, whenever the question arises as to what is wrong with the world America is always the first one mentioned.
Back to Julia for a minute
I am very much bred to fight, this was my number 1 priority throughout history, as was with every man, women on the other hand had the responsibility of maintaining order on the home front, to keep everything flowing smoothly and negotiate the peace while i was out avenging and shit, this was the balance of our society, you girls had it easier, mostly because these responsibilities fit into your natural character better than they ever could with mine, and vice versa, however that natural balance that had brought us prosperity for hundreds of years has been upset in recent history, and many people are left wondering what their true purpose is, and it has also created strain and tension not only between men and women but between brothers and sisters, sure, you want to walk in someone elses shoes and see what lies on the other side of the fence for yourself, fine, it’s your natural curiousity, but you have to come home where you belong eventually, you cannot turn your back on yourself like so many people have chosen to do.
That is the biggest problem, and people are responsible, there of course are those guilty sleezes who egged you onto this path with the lure of riches, but their ulterior motive was only to weaken you and watch you crumble as a people, i know who they are, i have my list don’t worry.
Eventually me and mine will have to step in and you will all have to shut up and stay out of the way, i cannot live knowing that with each passing moment i am getting weaker because of the sickness that surrounds me.
One man alone cannot do much, but one man with the spirit of millions behind him can accomplish plenty, this was a piece of historiana i learned as a child about one man who by himself conquered the mighty Turkish-Ottoman Empire that had enslaved his people, that man was my brother and he gave his life for his people, and that is the greatest thing you can do with your life in my opinion, the legend(confirmed by the Turks, it also became a great story in their history)is that as a child he grew up and went to school in Turkey, became this great warrior and fought many battles for the Turks, even against his own brothers, and rose to the ranks of the Sultan’s first guard, assumed control of the Turkish army, and then killed the Sultan.
Here is a Wikipedia version of the story, although my version of events is more accurate

See now that is just cool shit, a dream, a plan, i love that stuff, people overcoming the odds
Let me pay tribute to the Order of the Dragon, definitely something worth checking out, especially for all the Europeans

It is not just force like so many people have adapted to with their military strategy these days, a man no matter how strong cannot walk through a brick wall, but by using deception he can make that wall dissapear.
Anyway it’s nice to place yourself on the outer limits of society and look at things from a distance with a clear mind
As for US presidents, i am most fond of Theodore Roosevelt, he strived to do good things for mankind and that is very admirable, here is a little 10 minute award winning tribute to him by some US college students

This is becoming a very deep, thought provoking thread
What I want pretty much changes from the day, or by the moment, depending on where I’m at in life and whether or not my goals have changed recently.
Keeping it basic, I want a good life for five beautiful kids, I want the rent paid on time, I don’t want to ever see another shut off notice again. I want college for my kids, I want to own a house someday.
Dreaming a little bigger:
I’d love to own a little coffee shop, maybe several, I’d like to own rental property. I love being home with my kids, I have that already.
I’d like to be able to financially support a bunch of people that I already emotionally support, enough to bring them a weird bit of independance because I am a week person, that sucks at being mean enuff to ask them to go and find them their own independance. Both emotionally and financially.
I’d like to meet a lot of the people I do business, most of them, just for hugs n hello’s .. a couple for tar and chicken feathers.
Dreaming Real Big:
I want it all. Someone to drive me everywhere, because I have troubles with hanging on to a drivers license very long. A big house, a pool and bar be que’s. I want to eat Chinese food in China, whether or not Prof’s news articles say it’s healthy
I want to die in my house, not in a warehouse for the elderly (nursing home).
I want to be the eccentric free spirited person that I am, with enuff money that I wont care if people judge me.Most urgently, I want to wrap my adhd brain around this damn php code that has been giving me headaches for two days

PS – Perfect timing Nick..
I came down here to the free for all section all pissed off and looking for a nice place to vent, saw your name, thought, Nick likes to vent a lot, let’s see what he has to fuel my anger… instead, you got me back on track, reminded me to let it go, and keep a future in mind
