Is pleasure freedom, or is pleasure slavery?
Is suffering* a virtue, or is suffering* an issue that ought to be curbed?
(* - Suffering like a warrior in a battle not like a poor family starving to death or something)

Experiencing pleasure is freedom
Pursuing pleasure is slavery
Some people find pleasure in pretending to be slaves.
None. You are just a meatball obsessing over US politics, just one of several billions of meatballs. You're just gonna break in a few years and no one's gonna remember you ever existed in a few decades. Sucks, right?
Pleasure must be freedom, why else everybody are always trying to take it away from you.

The US army hasn't been conscript since 1973.

Eh? I don't care about US politics at all. Sometimes I post about it, because I like discussing with people on the Forums, and because my country's political situation is laughably stupid. I'm not interested in any form of statism, however.
Furthermore, my question is not answered here. Since we are sure that all aristocrats have to sprout from in incomprehensible mass of young wanderers, would you say the same things to them as well? Merit does not grow from a last name, it grows from the recognition of strength, honor, and excellence.
I don't think I am quite an aristocrat, I am really more organized on a passive principle, but I still think it's hilarious how people level their experiences as of right now to an eternal condition of life for all people ever in this era. Now, perhaps this can be true in liberal society, but even then, you can still be recognized if you actually do what you are made for.

When it turns into an addiction (even if an addict doesn't think it's an addiction), where it MUST be done for pleasure or you'd not be able to cope, that is "slavery", though I wouldn't call it that because that grants them victim points, and they are not victims of anyone else nor are they innocent.
Sex, drugs, violence, etc. That dark triad is only dark when it becomes extreme or an addiction. So paracetamol isn't, committal sex based on love isn't, and a slap on the wrist isn't. There are extreme, much worse forms, which instead leads to slavery rather than freedom because it becomes a compulsion and you can't live life without it for even a week. If not doing it drives someone crazy, they have a problem.
Pleasure is everything and i am her slave :3 :bluerune::luv:
Is it still considered slavery if you get what you want? It’s a honest question.

Slavery as a term in this context is used to mean: "unable to control your own actions". It is a cycle you struggle to break free from.

When my red phone rings, I usually pick it up, but sometimes I do not and that is when bad things happen. Sometimes I hate talking on the red phone to the President because he treats me like a slave cause I am a superhero.

One of my personal pleasures is avoiding my landlord who I haven't seen in over six months because he wants the rent money but most times I just tell him I am not home or something and he will go away for awhile.

Another pleasure of mine is messing with my useless obsolete robot maid, Tetsuko, who I should've sent to the recycling yard years ago.

i always hated the little ball thing on the top of the presidents head, it grossed me out.
