What does being a Patriot mean to you ?

[moot]

Hurray for ambiguity..

[lasersailor184]

Fudged definition?  Hardly.


It's the government that has done this to you, and religion.  You would be outraged if you only realized how bad they've screwed you.


Your government and religion tell you the same thing.  It is bad to want more.  You are fine exactly where you are.  It is wrong to work harder.  Your current job is fine.  

The truth lies in exactly that.  Both the government and the religion benefit off of you doing the same thing and not benefiting from your work.  If you work hard, gain power and money, suddenly that means less power and money for them.

Thus don't do anything and appease your government and pastor.

I meant the ambiguity between yours, Funked's use and my interpretation of 'greed'.

You and I don't live in the same workd... religion and government have zero authority over my decisions.

Do you pay taxes?

[moot]

Not yet.. but let's say I did?

[lasersailor184]

Well, then you shot my point to hell.

All the standard stuff we do for government, like pay taxes, break laws, jury duty...  It is all proof of government's authority over us.  It's just that we've been doing it for so long that it's not odd for us to get bellybutton raped by a body of people who have power.
