"No, everyone is free to start with. People set their own restraints and only they can set themselves free..... It takes courage, some do and flourish" I like your thinking | |||

"Like modern life is designed to entrap you into the system and keep you from doing anything for yourself. I feel like fab is a small way to break away from the norm " I think if you think fab is a break from the norm, it's a little sad. Its very normal, and nothing too 'out there' at all, just another way of keeping people in their place ... trapped in the system. The only way to fight the system is from within ... or as they used to say, ' the revolution begins in your own heart'. To me, some of this world is akin to watching the soaps or reading celeb magazines, a way to divert people from thinking about the real things that can make a difference. Now, what's for dinner? | |||

For many of us fab is a break away from the norm. It isn't part of my everyday life. I'm not sure why you would see that as sad? | |||

"Like modern life is designed to entrap you into the system and keep you from doing anything for yourself. I feel like fab is a small way to break away from the norm " It's easy to get on the treadmill and hard to get off especially if you have people who depend on you. Fab is certainly one way to step off briefly | |||

" Of course there are other ways but i don't see what is sad about seeing fab as a bit of escapism. When i meet someone from here i don't have to think about work, or what homework needs to be done by which child, or what's for dinner etc etc.....I'm not sure who has meant to have created this to keep me happy with my lot? I don't understand the argument. | |||

"Like modern life is designed to entrap you into the system and keep you from doing anything for yourself. " Nope. Technology and modern travel gives you access to anywhere and everything. | |||

"Deviation within societal norms is not really deviation. It's a bit like the only way some people can cope with the mundane-ness of everyday reality for some people. Anything anyone uses for those purposes is sad, I think ..." So anyone who does anything to enhance their existence is sad? | |||

"Deviation within societal norms is not really deviation. It's a bit like the only way some people can cope with the mundane-ness of everyday reality for some people. Anything anyone uses for those purposes is sad, I think ..." Does society consider swinging the norm? In my opinion it doesn't. I also don't consider people finding ways to make life less mundane sad. | |||

I am sure there are more positive and productive ways to enhance one's existence | |||

If it isn't to enhance then why would anyone do it? | |||

"Not really, I've just set my life up so that's it's mostly how I want it. You don't have to rail against "the system" - if there's an aspect of the way you live that you really don't like, it's usually in your power to change it." That's how I feel. There's plenty of reasons to get pissed off about stuff. Seemingly that's where many people stop. But there's so much that you can do when you are determined and take control. You can't change everything, but you can make changes. | |||

"No, everyone is free to start with. People set their own restraints and only they can set themselves free..... It takes courage, some do and flourish" Spinoza argued that there's no such thing as free will, and that we're all part of a whole that operates according to its nature. It was a strong argument. Check it out. Anyways.. Going back to OP's point.... Yes, in a way | |||

"My life isn't mundane to me. I use Fab because I like sex" Just for the record i don't feel I'm entrapped by the system and i don't have a mundane life....i just don't think anyone using fab as a bit of escapism from the norm is sad. And the bit of society i live in certainly doesn't consider swinging the norm! | |||
