Philosophy

Many people claim that you would take any job if the circumstances were desperate but I disagree?  ARE THERE ANY JOBS YOU WOULDN’T TAKE NO MATTER HOW DESPERATE YOU BECAME?  Here (below) are 5 jobs that come to my mind. Please share your thoughts.

(1) PEANUT TESTER- This job would be a suicide mission and a painful one as my allergy to peanuts is extreme.

(2) ABORTIONIST- I would never be willing to take one innocent life to extend my own and even the thought of being involved in some way in this industry is repugnant to my very soul.

(3) IDOL MAKER- This is a position that would hurt me in this life and the afterlife.

(4) CRACK/HEROIN DEALER- How could I sell a drug that puts a bullet in a chamber for someone to pull the trigger.

(5) PORNOGRAPHIC “ARTIST”- My talents will stay private in this area.

If you lived in a world which was made up of most people who were genetically exact versions of yourself but just came from different backgrounds would you like yourself’s?  If one of those  genetically exact you was raised in a dysfunctional family would that person still turn out the way you did? On the other hand if one of these genetically exact you was raised by a billionaire who pampered you would you be as empathetic as you are today? Are there genetically exact you that would turn out to be a criminal or a lawyer, a singer or a promoter?   This goes to the basic question of nature vs nurture but deals with the individual you.  Can our good strong side come out no matter what the circumstances are or does the environment truly control us?

Even the greatest capitalist practices family socialism at some point the only difference is when we let that point end if at all. When our children are “young” we provide for their good life even though they don’t financially contribute to the pie unless there a child protege or actor. Once they reach adulthood we can continue to provide for their basics and more depending on their true ability to become independent or our perception of this ability. Depending on our child’s skill level and ability to contribute that skill to society can also play a key role in this decision making. For those parents who have a child who is severly disabled or suffers from a life debalitating disease the socialism model will probably work for a lifetime. For those parents who support their children’s goal to achieve an artistic endeavor that socialist model will also play a prominent role although they might draw you a picture or two. Unlike socialism in society family socialism works because it is truly based on love between the members of such a unit so that they will try to achieve as much independence as possible. Even in such small units family squabbles over how that pie is spent can continue and become very hostile at times. Family socialism is the only form of socialism we should promote to a decree because when it’s implemented correctly it allows families to take care of each other and lesson’s the role of governmental intervention.

You haven’t paid for the “prime seats” at the ball park, football stadium, concert hall etc but there not in use so why not let your butt keep them warm? I could understand if you plan to vandalize the seats, have a bad case of flatulation, or a soda spiller but otherwise why not share those seats with a few friends. Not only am I doing a good deed to the formal renter or owner of such seats by keeping them warm but making sure the entertainer performs at their highest level because they are not looking at a sad empty seat. It’s a win, win situation for even the security guard gets to bring home some extra bacon by earning a few extra dollars by looking the other way. Therefore I will continue to buy the cheap seats and hope that my friends don’t mind sharing the better seats not only for my enjoyment but the general good of society. I knew I could be a lawyer.
