The Joy of Indolence!

*yawn* Even sitting here and thinking about what I might type in is quite daunting as it seems almost like hard work....As a lifelong sluggard I am impervious to criticism or ridicule. I care not that my insouciance and innate laziness is an affront to most people.

I am a man that has never harboured any career ambitions and I make no apologies for that. The very concept is absurd. I am in my mid 50's and wondering why I'm not a worshipper of Mammon like most of the grunting troglodytes that head to their various gulags in a desperate daily stampede.....

I've never been materialistic, I am, in short, a freak. Oh, and in my younger days I was a nihilistic hedonist. A slave to my addictions. Anyway, are there any other lazy people willing to stick their fingers up at the strivers with me?

But where does your dough ($) come from? It's a bit presumptuous to say the average wage/salaried earner worships Mammon. Maybe they see no comfortable alternative to how they live currently.

You ought to have compassion for the slaves of Mammon (The Terror of Entropy Incarnate as Death and Dispersal), unless you think they're wholly responsible for the situation they've habituated themselves to.

Check this guy out, worships Mammon but still lives in a dump.

Reply to praxis Please do not post videos of this type in the serious areas of the forum, there is a joke section where it might fit better. :grin: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Cannot stop laughing at it. He must have studied hard, because it is impossible for anyone to be born that dumb?

No apologies necessary either. Do you have any kids?

Hmmm, Progeny, you ask? Yes.

I am married and I have had several stints in many different forms of gulags....I will be returning to driving taxis next week after a 6 month hiatus due to a driving licence suspension, By far the most gruelling gulag that I had to endure was a stint in a bank as a clerk *shudder*.....the brown-nosing that I witnessed there was truly something to behold.

I am a sworn enemy of the work ethic and the clipboard!

Anway, enough about me. Are there any Luddites, Idlers, loafers, skivers, bludgers, or layabouts that share my disdain for the strivers and careerists that fill the temples of Mammon? *spits on the ground*
