Average Citizen

I think this is a strange desire, and probably not one many people actually do. It's good to be different, but what exactly is an "average citizen" as that could mean many things to different people. An average citizen could mean having a predictable job, a house and a family which in that respect is something a lot of people desire (and understandably so!). If it means you not being any different to other people then surely that's just boring?

Always remember you're unique... just like everybody else. I read this listing as the desire to fit in. Conformity is a well documented psychological process -- we take our cues for behaviors from other people -- and scientists today can observe it happening physically in the brain in relations between neurons. If you think wanting the trappings of an average life -- a place to live, a mate, steady income, etc -- are ridiculous desires, then by all means go ahead and live without them.

Talk about setting the Desires/Cravings bar low. There's nothing at all wrong with being an average citizen, but as an aspiration it seems more than a little lacking.

Why not aim for excellence?? Part of the problem with our society is that we hold up being "average" as a positive value. I prefer to stand out from the crowd and to think for myself. Apparently I am in the minority here though. Be original, be yourself, don't set your sights on being part of the nameless masses.

It would be a lot harder to achieve than one might think. Start by trying to achieve the right ethnic/racial mix and becoming transgendered before you even begin looking for a job, home and family structure that would put you squarely in the mean of society.

. . . not sure how to rate this one. Are you talking about the desire to be one, or mate with one? Or something else that might disturb me?

Cravings? Sex cravings for average citizens? So called average Americans? Who jerks off while thinking about Jim and Mary Johnson of...Columbia, Missouri. Jim is an electrician and Mary is a Housekeeper. They have two kids and are members in good standing at their Methodist church. Jim likes football and mowing the lawn while Mary enjoys bridge. Jim has a Ford pickup truck and Mary has a Honda Civic. Yeah, real fucking sultry and steamy. I'm sweating right now.

Maybe, a semi-average citizen.

(*1* Star for a generally terribly thought-out listing. But, I think I might understand what the list maker had in mind.) However, if you're gonna go this route, you're gonna need Ridge's help. First, may I suggest going with Mu Shu Human? You're gonna need some major enhancement, especially if it's an Average one. Go with a Hoisin marinade. Lots of Hoisin sauce. Marinate for three days, reducing the size of the Human from chunks to a finely shredded consistency by the third day. Add three to five days of marinating if you feel brave enough to start at a higher level with, let's say, Mu Shu Running Back, or Mu Shu Chicken Shit Human, as the Human will be laced with adrenaline, creating a tougher meat. Use Hoisin in the shredded veggies. Slather the Chinese pancake with lots of Hoisin and, once filled with the Human/veggie mixture, spread a generous layer of Hoisin on top. And remember: It just doesn't take that much more to go first class, so why go "Average" when you can go Ballerin... Read more

It's the average people that make up most of the world. There's something to be said for that.
