It is true, regardless of your beliefs or ideas...We are all unique.

Now we have low self esteem...For f* sake, I'm done here.


I really wish you would answer my question.

Why do you feel you are entitled to nothing?

I'm sure the Queen of England will take it off your hands. She thinks she's entitled to it.



maybe you haven't heard the news.. but Canada is no LONGER under the reign of the Queen.. nor have we been for quite a few years....smokin

Because it is an attack.





Really? To challenge her claim that she is not entitled to anything is an attack? How so?

If she works and toils and is not entitled to a wage, then she must be a slave.

That is a fact, not an attack.





that is where you have misunderstood.. I HAVE toiled and worked so that ENTITLES me to a wage.. thus my previous statement..


everything I am or will be.. will be(or has been) earned by toil, dedication, compassion and determination



I guess you threw me when you said:

"I am in no way entitled to anything.. everything I am or will be.. will be(or has been) earned by toil, dedication, compassion and determination"

Because all I know is to fight for everything I can and continue fighting to keep it, nothing is guaranteed...Tomorrow, it can all be gone and f* all to entitlements.

Gotcha. I agree.

I agree that nothing is guaranteed. We fight for things BECAUSE WE ARE ENTITLED TO THEM.

If we were not entitled to them then there would be no reason to fight for them.

See, we have a lot in common.

honestly I'm NOT.. unLESS I work for it.. I can't just demand entitlement to something without FIRST putting in the effort to achieve the entitlement..

put it this way.. should I trust you? yes? why? because you SAY I should??
life doesn't work that way.. Trust has to be EARNED.. once earned.. THEN you are entitled to be respected as Trustworthy.. same principle.. different wording..

I think that we all actually agree that we are willing to and sometimes must fight for what we are entitled to.

I will fight for my life because I am entitled to it.

I will fight for my rights that I feel I am entitled to.

I will fight for my freedom as I am entitled to be free.

However if I enter into a contract that trades my freedom and my rights for safety and protection from someone else, then I am no longer entitled to freedom.

I will fight for my rights that I feel I am entitled to.

I will fight for my freedom as I am entitled to be free.




I guess people were understanding "entitled" to mean "guaranteed".

Well I am totally confused. First you say you are not entitled to anything, then you say you are entitled to what you have earned through toil.

Then fearandloathing says he's entitled to nothing, but then says he has to fight for everything.

It is semantically a contradiction, so I'm confused about what anyone means.

Yes, it is semantics.

Nothing is guaranteed.

Does it not?

1. To give a name or title to.
2. To furnish with a right or claim to something:

I've seen people who think that the world owes them something...even though they do feck all but complain about how "hard done by" they are.

So i quite understand what it is you said there. Unless you put in the hard yards...you're entitled to nothing.

Seems a fair call to me.

I started the I am entitled to nothing, everything's a fight. You all agreed with ME. But no one mentioned me as an ally. You should all bow down and worship me now.
