Come gather round people come and join your hands we're taking Wall Street and we're making demands and we're heeding the call and we're crying for help only 1% of us have wealth but first we need posters we need to make signs but to do so it seems that we need some supplies We need poster board I can't make it myself but it's 10 cents a sheet at the store it's on sale an example of economies of scale it's so evil They're saying that freedom has done little to stop Corporations from keeping the wealth at the top But at what point in history would a kid and a king both have clean water to drink? George Washington was the richest man of his age But he lost all his teeth at a very young age Because they didn't have Scope and they all crapped in trays we're not wealthy? now there's fountains on streets from which clean water pours Four dollar generics at all big box stores a sultan and student both have iPhone 4s it's not fair Come gather young people come on everyone and I'll tell you a tale of a fortunate son He's born in a country and given vaccine and rendered immune to all kinds of disease the Kardashians are on all his TVs it's not perfect Banks don't need bailouts on that we agree so let's start up a group and let's take to the streets because if we do that then you know what that means we're racist.

"Some of those armed force people are just really F*cked up in the head. I should have spoken up and told him that if he wants to go that far, he'd better go get a condom, but he knew what he was doing." Well, so did you. Or did you not know that sexual activity can transmit sexually-transmitted diseases? I also have a hard time believing that "armed force people are just really F*cked up in the head" anymore than the rest of us. Trust me, ordinary non-military folks can be just as screwed up. Don't make blanket statements about the military, many of which are good and decent men and women serving their country. I was initially at least somewhat sympathetic to your plight, but the more you have written, the more I feel sorry for this boyfriend of yours. You are indeed trying to "fix" him, which is death for any long-term relationship. Let me play armchair psychologist for a moment: I don't think that your boyfriend is actually worried about STDs. I think that what you are seeing is a passive-aggressive response to your dismissal of his upbringing and his mores as "stupid". He's not man enough (yet) to actually challenge your attitudes about sex and any other modern notions you might hold that make him uncomfortable, but no doubt he can see the difference between his parents' and grandparents' more elevated view of sex, and your more modern attitude (his grandparents probably didn't have to worry about STDs -- you do).

Hello, Thanks for your advice here. It is pretty much in line with my own thoughts and feelings and I am now starting to seek employment. I tried to be as objective as possible with my description so it didn't appear like I was only putting across my side of the argument. Basically he wants me to sell something that will cost £2000.00 to tell a client what I already know. He needs to spend a great deal more to make his business work. When I pulled my director in to the meeting after the disagreement I asked him not to speak to me in the way he did, especially not in front of people. He basically replied and told me that when he says the argument is over, then it's over. I said I can work like that. He replied until such times you pay for yourself then you don't have a say. I asked him what that meant. He replied 'until you own your own company'. Upon reflection - I think I'll leave.

Just replace 'philosophy' with ingenuity, creativity, industriousness, whatever, and I think you've got what the death of Steve Jobs means. None of this Wotan gobbledygook.
