Great contributors to society. Thanks for producing nothing.

[DownTheRoad]

Well, thanks for commenting back with nothing. What exactly upset you about this video?

[onebrandofdemocracy]

I'm elated you both are having the time of your lives. However, after a year, it becomes a bit ridiculous. In my opinion, it says to me that you've given up on life...at least the way civilized people view life. In all likelihood, you finished contributing to society years ago. And don't tell me "spreading happiness and being ambassadors for the US" is contributing. It's rather sad, I think. You two have capitulated. It's completely your choice. More power. But sad at the same time.

[DownTheRoad]

I am not sure why you are judging us especially since you have cast your judgments without even knowing us. We have contributed to society by writing two books which involves hiring lots of people and stimulating the economy. We pay our share of federal income tax, state income tax, and sales taxes. Clearly this contributes to society on many levels. We are simply making a living in our own way. I am sorry this offends you and hope you move on to other videos that meet your standards.

Well for one thing these two people helped drag me out of my state of learned helplessness working 100 hour weeks and wishing for my own death. Instead of continuing on that path I'm going bike touring.

Go spew your bullshit on someone else, there are millions of selfish and useless people out there who aren't contributing to anything but their own happiness and that of the small amount of people they are in contact with and that's how it has to be, not everyone can change the world. GFYS.
