There is no virtue in work
We'd all do fuck all if we got paid for it.

Balls. Basic capiltalist principal innit.
Do as little as possible for as much profit as possible.

Now you're just putting random words in an order that vaguely resembles English.

Well I agreed with you up to the capitalism bit.
I wouldn't exactly describe capitalist principles as virtues, either.

look at you with your Protestant Work Ethic.

you can shove the Protestant but up your arse
I just have a work ethic.

Well it's no less silly for not just being Luther's idea,
that would be Ad Hominem.

but this has nothing to do with my salvation, signs of my predestination
or any concept I have of an obligation to society. Just because I think hard work is important, and protestants also feel the same way, doesn't make my work ethic a protestant one.
( Grrrmachine the indifference engine, Thu 9 Jun 2011, 20:26, archived)

Now wait, this is getting even sillier,
you think hard work is important even though it's not an obligation to society? Then what the fuck IS it for then?

I would put it to you that work isn't important for its own sake, but only for the sake of something of value. It isn't important to dig holes all day and then fill them in again just because you've got some time to spare and nothing else to do.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Thu 9 Jun 2011, 20:28, archived)

hah, that's riled you
the idea that work can be valued in and of itself, without any external quantifier.

The man who builds a matchstick model of the Statue of Liberty, should he be praised? His years of hard work achieved nothing.

Presumably he did it for fun.
I've got nothing against people doing things for fun. (In general.)
