the 200 dollar Purse helps get you laid faster, be more fashionable and have the cutest purse to go with the dress I got last Sunday. Obviously the purpose is purposeful for them. You can make excuses for the shit you daily waste your money on, but can't excuse when someone else purchases something stupid? If the "decline" is anything, it's a bunch of pretentious hypocrites procuring the role as a virtous defender of cynicism and hatred of needless objects, as if objectifying anti-objectivity. Fuck you, and fuck your fucking stupid unconcerning nature of placebo spirituality. I fucking waste money on drugs and alcohol all the time all the time, even on books. You ever bought a CD? BLAM WHAT A WASTE. Powertools have a purpose? WHat, to build the towel rack in your bathroom for DECORATIVE towels? To build your shiny 200k house? Why not use a rock? It will work just as well, and it's free. A rock will hammer in a nail just like a hammer will! THEY WILL BOTH HAMMER. Like I said, fuck your virtous demeaner, you should be talking shit on yourself, and anybody who thinks they live some life of Bliss without the need of foreign objects to pronounce some kind of love, as if you do not idolize meager components. |

Besides, they are teenagers. They are trying to figure out who they are. I tend to find fashion one of the best ways to watch that search. |

I wouldn't be caught dead shopping at Payless Shoes. Only poor people shop there.

I do spend money on video games, movies, and the like. But I also do not think that those things will make me a better person. One's posessions do not make who they are. It is what is inside that counts. If, however, people are like my schoolmates, who get Mommy and Daddy to but their purses, shoes, cell phones, and buy them out of legal trouble for getting drunk at a school football game, then me have a serious fucking problem. |

A nightmare I tell you. Quote:
If I want to to buy anything "trendy" I usally get it from a cheap source. It's trend...it will be out of style by the end of the season. I see no reason to spend a lot of money on stuff like that. Quote:
Sandals I buy from Payless. I am really hard on them and unless I pay a hell of a lot, I go through them just as fast. Trendy shoes.....hell yeah. Done by the end of the season. Toss them out or they fall apart who cares. |

Don't dogs come with fur? Or are the manufacturers selling them incomplete and making you buy sweaters as an upgrade? Quote:
And there is nothing wrong with payless shoes. |

If an adult can afford and really wants to spend 700 on a purse who am I to question, sure I personally think it is stupid , but I also spend lots of money on electronics and computers that others might find stupid. But I dont think that was the point of the thread. I thought it was more about kids. I think there is something wrong with kids not working a day in their lives yet gettin their parents to buy them expensive clothing and brand new cars and cell phones. Most kids like this that want everything handed to them and arent going too be good for society. but the way this thread has turned maybe thats not what it was about. |

| soundtest | Middle ground is kinda what I was getting at. All I'm saying is that I think it is dangerous to make huge generalizations based on pre-conceived notions. Immortal Goat basically concluded that anyone spending that much on a handbag is an idiot. I'm sure some people that do probably are, but then by default is everyone who shops at Target intelligent, or at least, slightly more? Jumping to a conclusion like that is rash and to underestimate someone's intelligence based on that alone is careless. Maybe buying that LV handbag would create a good impression during a job interview? In that case the bag paid for itself. Then would it be a stupid purchase? Obviously I don't like the fact that the world works like that sometimes, but my hating someone for spending a lot of money on a brand name isn't going to change that. | |||

| Helm | Yes I see what you're saying. I'm not saying that you should go on the initial impression but it should be worthy of mention. If you were to completely disregard past empyrical knowledge and statistic fact (like to make an extreme example how adults that go and buy britney spears records are most likely very base) then you're stuck in the strange position of having to rely on no knowledge at all. Are you prepared to treat every human being you meet as if it's the first time? Obviously there's exceptions and you're right to be hesitant towards generisation. I'm talking about the middle ground. | |||

Everyone is socially programmed in one way or another. When I see a woman with an LV handbag, the first thing that pops into my mind is "stuck up bitch". Is she? I don't know. Is she stupid because of this purchase? What about someone in a BMW? They could certainly drive a Honda and save a lot of money. That would seem a lot smarter to me. But does this make them less intelligent? Does it make them a rich snob? Maybe, maybe not. Now what about someone who sees an LV handbag and thinks "Wow! What fashion sense!"? Are they stupid for thinking that? Is their programmed reaction less valid than mine? How can generalizations from subjective opinions be objective? One can argue that their opinion is not subjective because the media or some other force is influencing all their decisions. Do similar forces, although maybe less 'mainstream', not influence mine? I think everyone is influenced with their purchases to some extent. Sure, you can deduct a great deal of information from someone's attire regarding their buying habits, but to jump forward with firm assumptions about the individual's itelligence from that alone? I wouldn't (once I get past my initial socially programmed response, of course). |

No there are things one can deduct from another man's buying habits. And I don't see it as being wrong to talk about that. I see it as distinctively wrong however that you'd rather not judge a person's habit at say, buying purses for 700 bucks in the spirit that what each man does is his own buisness. I think that actual choice as you say has very little to do with the way most westerners overspend. It's more of a socially programmed reaction to go out and buy stuff whenever you feel down and most people don't give it a second thought. And what I just said was obvious too but you don't seem to take it into account. |

It is arrogant AND the point he was trying to make was completely obvious. It's nobody's business what others spend their money on, and you can't judge someone's ability to 'be president' on something like that. Personally, I would never buy anything with a brand name. I think it's ridiculous. But I'm not gonna assume somebody is an idiot because they pay $700 for a handbag. It's their own choice what they want to spend their money on, and practicality has nothing to do with it. |

Goats comments about accesory bashing were just stating the obvious, but it was his bullshit about soceity keeping him down, that made me ashamed to be called a goat. But really, Perndog and Soundtest basically summed it up. |
