I guess this can be sort of a spin-off to the "Things that you want to say" but on a more serious matter.

So basically, just say whatever the heck is bothering you. Whatever is on your mind concerning you, just get it out of your system. Maybe it'll make you feel better.


With that being said, let's try to be considerate of others while we're addressing our concerns here.

Isn't "How was your day?" already the correct place for that?

EDIT: yeah I get there is a difference lawl

Nah, that's more for expressing good and bad points about your day, this topic could just be for letting out any problems you have.

I have a deep loathing for capitalism.

How does failure drive people to do better? It makes no sense. It's embarrassing for me, and I don't want to put up with it. It shows I'm bad, and I don't want to do something I'm bad at. Failure doesn't really motivate me at all; it just drives me away.

Sigh...Anyway...

Interesting. I've always thought that capitalism was one of those types of economies that were actually good, but I guess not everyone likes it or has to like it.

You look at what your result and what you've done wrong, and you say "No, I can do better than that". Then you avoid the mistakes you made last time.

Failure teaches you how to succeed.

I can understand that, but I still hate dealing with the embarrassment. Plus most of the time, I don't learn from failure or maybe I can't. I don't know.

It has its flaws, primarily the worthless currency, the monopolies, and that the only means of survival is to have money.

To be fair, without a standardized currency we're practically going backwards on history and ignoring the progress countries like the Greeks made with their own set of currencies (drachma I think it was called?). Standardized currencies help people measure things in worth easier (though prices can always be influenced which really bothers me).

I feel like the problem is not "everyone needs money to live" but rather "not everyone has access to a job, which allows them to have access to money, which allows them to live easier". There's plenty of homeless people that are more than willing to learn/are potentially qualified for jobs, but they can't get reached out to unless a charity organization helps them or something.

That is all.
