I want to work THERE
tell me honestly, do you burn random stuff when no one is looking?
Of course not. That would be totally unprofessional.
Wait, are you talking at work or on my own time?

I'm just appalled at the hedonism that exists as the norm in our society these days... "It's all about me" has become the motto of the day. It's really very sad.
I think hedonism and "It's all about me" are two different things. I think going through life with the sole aim of being happy (hedonism) is a good thing, as long as you don't exploit or harm anyone in the process of achieving it. I agree, however that our society has evolved into a selfish, self-serving one, where the acquisition of status and material goods is the mindset for most people caught-up in the mindless commercialism that permeates every aspect of our lives.
I don't think they're different at all. If all you're worried about is your pleasure, then you're doing such to the exclusion of everyone else. Henceforth, it is, to you, "all about you." But relationships don't work that way. There's nothing wrong with having fun, and there's nothing wrong with being crazy at times. But when you have a "better half", so to speak, you should be tempering what you do in terms of how it affects that person. Bachelor parties with strippers are the polar opposite of that.I think hedonism and "It's all about me" are two different things.

Now you're just mocking me. :roll:
If your girl's okay with what you do, more power to you. Theatre, shows, stuff like that are different than strippers (who are glorified prostitutes, IMHO). I'm not a prude. I think the human body is a beautiful thing. I'm just appalled at the hedonism that exists as the norm in our society these days... "It's all about me" has become the motto of the day.

ME TOO!!!!
Where I work we just encrypt, hash and obfuscate data..
We never burn it.
Good man! :beer: I hope your wife knows this because I'm sure she'd appreciate hearing that.
Stippers at bachelor parties are more for laughs than anything erotic.

I can't agree more. Laughing at my friend getting whipped with his own belt slays me every time.
I think it should read "the sole aim is pleasure....", not happiness.
Kris - which color team is she cheering for? I just looked at Iceman's schedule. Amazingly we don't play Wantagh this year (the other 11/12 team plays Black)

Actually, hedonism is the doctrine that pleasure or happiness is the sole or chief good in life. Sounds like retirement! And without going to extremes, you can have a hedonistic life without excluding everyone else, or being completely focused on yourself. That being said, I too hate Bachelor parties and strippers. The strippers are exploiting you for your money, they're looking at you as the piece of meat dumb enough to throw your money away for the privilege of getting sexually frustrated!
I've been a hedonist since college..in High School I wasn't being a hedonist means you're a pleasure seeker...and that doesn't mean going to Club Hedonism in Jamaica..I'm too much of a germaphobe and too modest for that..I feel like almost all skiers and riders are hedonists to some extent..and I agree..the strippers have the upper hand..as of now I could be a stripper for blind women and a comedian for deaf people..so I better not quit my day job..and this thread rocks..pretty soon it will be time for another weekend thread..
dude this weekend is shaping up to be another crazy weekend. our friday night is starting to go off
I get paid Thursday..I might have to hit up the big Apple..:-D
