The other day this fellow came in to work and was rabbiting on about the strippers in one of the local pubs.
I do not need to reiterate my feelings about people degrading themselves and in this instance I kept my mouth shut even though I was tempted to have a crack.
He was a little bloke, yappy and pretty full of himself, you know the type. Going on about how you could get the girls to lap dance for you and how it was worth it if there was a group of you blah blah blah.
So tempted I was to point out how lucky the girls were to have his custom.
Particularly as I could smell his halitosis from a good ten meters away
Perhaps that was why he had to resort to paid company!
The other day I was watching a Stephen Hawking docco on the meaning of life, and he explored the concept that all the choices we make are a series of electrical signals in our brain which fire in a particular order. Each instant in time (a Planck time I suppose) sets up the next, so looking at it like that, it seems that our lives play out according to a fixed chain of cause and effect which happens the way it does and couldn't happen any other way.
So the old musing about whether if you had your time again would you do it all the same, perhaps you wouldn't have a choice, even though you spend your life making them.
My parents have a SMSF and Dad raves about it all the time. He's preaching it to me now, suggesting I should set one up.
He's a solicitor by trade though, so all the legal stuff he can do in a state of no mind anyway. Still, sounds like a good way to maximise your returns.
So if we are destined to make all our choices the way we make them, how does dreaming, wondering, philosophising and musing fit into the picture? Thought for the sake of thinking? Including the 'no mind' state where revelationary thoughts just occur.
The simple explanation would be to furnish choices we make with the information to make them the way we do. I think there ought to be more to it than that though, something deeper.
I thought we were on the topic of strippers?

Perhaps use your 'state of no mind' to work out why seabreeze forums always turn something simple (like strippers & stinky breath) into an intellectual discussion.
My wife constantly tells me that when I get home from work, grab a beer & slouch in my chair that I'm in a 'state of no mind'!
i'm not sure i understand the point of the original post.
do you want us to know that you feel morally superior to this bloke? or that you showed commendable self-control by keeping your mouth shut? or is it, despite you stating otherwise, that you want us all to know that you're the type of man who doesn't visit strippers?
I'm sure most strippers don't regard themselves as being used or degraded by males, and are more than happy with their 6-figure salaries...plus tips!
By the way...great pickup Panda! My 'no-mind' doesn't spot the obvious.

My ex brother in law shows up at his mothers house with new girlfriend.
One of the neighbours comes over and asks me when the show is going to start. Said he was very impressed with her last performance involving vegetables.
Told him the real story and we both pi77ed ourselves
Didn't have the heart to mention it to the in laws though
I went to the Crazy horse strip club in Adelaide a few years ago.
Walked in the door past the bouncers. All females, Big buff muscly ones.
Bought a drink. Bar staff all women.
Met the manager. Nice lady.
Strippers of course all girls. Totally smokin hot ones.
That establishment at the time was run by a fully female staff. Believe me. If anyone was being exploited there it was the blokes stuffing their hard earned down the strippers knickers and paying 12+ dollars for a drink.
Everyone was having a good time, and no harm done.
As for the morally righteous, Well it really isn't any of their business.
