Originally by: Jones Bones Is this a "white people problems" thread?
naaah if it would have been, there would be some ranting about immigrants taking their jobs, unemployment benefits, taking their college seats and their women and how they single handedly destroyed the economy of their country despite being 10% or less of the total population.
No. A guy who has a job and some minor health issues is doing a "oh woe is me" post on an internet space ships forum. In the scheme of things...it's a "white person problem".
Actually these problems come from highly educated and highly stressed work forces. In the US those at the top have a high occurrence of these mental problems, in-fact of the top executives in fortune 500 companies, a majority have psychological issues stemming from abuse or neglect in their childhood. And with the advent of super high productivity and zero downtime environments, even the average worker is going a little nuts with all the pressure to be 100% all the time. (The US still is one of the most work-a-holic nations to this day. According to the ILO, ôAmericans work 137 more hours per year than Japanese workers, 260 more hours per year than British workers, and 499 more hours per year than French workers.ö)
In Japan they have a similar problem, people are put under such high pressure that they are choosing not to have kids. Their reasoning is that their kids would have to go through what they did, the parents do not want to see that so they just get married and have no kids. These are known as DINKS or Double Income No Kids Syndrome.
Korea has a similar problem, men are culturally expected to work. And when I say work I means work consumes their every waking hour. This has shown up as people just going nuts, or productivity going down because of burnout. To remedy this problem they have implemented vacations and weekends. Unfortunately they don't know what to do when not working and the wives don't know what to do when they are home. -------------
