A big LOL at this thread.
ITT: People who can't handle change.
I hope I never reach a point in life where I look at society and think "things were better back in X"
Hard to find someone with passion? Who do you think you talk to on these forums? These are passionate people willing to argue with you for hours about nonsense. You obviously don't get out much either.
You think people are fake, yet you fail to realize that these people who are superficial and repetitive are desperately struggling to be interesting and funny and witty because they are so insecure and because society has shown them so many diamonds. It's so hard to compete, so people do anything they can to stand out and it's really really so beautiful and passionate. It's a well of wishes and dreams and people trying so hard. I've always strived to never repeat jokes and always be original because that's who I am. I wouldn't for one second though, critcize people for their hugging the mainstream and superficial. There is so much hidden behind those facades that's just desperate to burst out. You're blind.
When men worked honest jobs? Guess what? Banking has been around since forever. If you have a humble job, be happy for your humble job and stop being so jealous of others. You can have a right to be mad at ARM startups who caused the housing crisis, but don't lump all bankers together. There are plenty of really great independent and local banks that do a lot for their customers. And on top of it, there are tons of activists who work hard for less than affordable income to bring green technology and recycling and renewable power, or cleaning the streets, or washing oil from wreckages....and they FIGHT to have the right to do that because there are some people who are trying to keep things the way they are. There are plenty of passionate people who are trying to live their dreams and "save the world". What are YOU doing?
The days when women were cultured? You mean repressed! Women were nothing more than statues to show off to guests and friends. Women were relegated to having kids and raising them and housework. Women weren't allowed to travel, always had to have a man with them, and were pretty much devoid of rights. No right to vote, could not own land, could not make decisions regarding property, seldom were hired for jobs, and were nearly completely dependant on their partners, because of whom they've broken off into independence. Fun Fact: Women fought to be what they are today because MEN FUCKED IT UP. A woman's life was a losing proposition for 90% of the last 300 years, and 100% of everything before that, because of their enslavement by men. You look at life as a woman growing up and you think "I have to marry as well as possible, become good at all these household-y things (that I might not even be interested in) have kids, and hopefully, my husband doesn't beat me or gamble away all our money, or die in an accident, or leave me for someone else and LEAVE ME AND MY CHILDREN PENNILESS, HOMELESS, AND AT THE MERCY OF FAR GREATER SLAVEMASTERS. Again dude, fuck you. Why does society value a "sexualized woman"? Because since the dawn of time, the only women with any power were the sex workers, because the only thing a man wants from a woman is a warm *****. It's been that way for thousands of years. Later women's power came in the form of entertainment, cabaret, and sex. You want to question why these facets became mainstream? Ask yourself why men refused to give women anything else. It is all man's fault.
Lots of people go to college to get into careers they want. Let me school you a little on college. College is now the number one requirement for being hired into a good job. Why? Because it shows that you can work hard on a goal while on your own. That is the number one thing. Lots of jobs, unless specific trade skills, do not care what your degree is because they just want to know that you can dedicate yourself. Sorry that that isn't kosher with you, but that's business. Get with the times.
We need a lot less of people like you.

Because I like you more, you'll get the nicer version which is "just stop talking".
