Don't dogs come with fur? Or are the manufacturers selling them incomplete and making you buy sweaters as an upgrade?

Have you ever bought a cheap backpack?
How about Payless shoes?
Or clothes from Target?
They just don't hold up like their higher price better quality counterparts.

Actually, I find all that high priced designer crap is too fragile to handle my everyday life. I like the moderate priced stuff because its usually double stiched.

And there is nothing wrong with payless shoes.

Not those new fangled trendy dogs. They have to buy their fur. And the selection just to suit their personality.....
A nightmare I tell you.

That's because a lot of the companies (Gucci, Prada, Fendi....) have gone to the "trend" side of the line. Their quality has become crap because they are not catering to high end clientele any longer. They are catering to people who want what they see in magazines and could care less about the quality.
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.

Depends....
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.

Why is it that only a few people have grasped what I was getting at in the first place. It isn't that ALL people that buy that stuff are stupid, it is the people that think that they can go through life being having all this shit and that it will make them happy, whether they learn a damn thing about being human along the way or not.

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.

No, but they are for the most part an expression of who they are. And teenagers rarely have a clue about who they are.

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

Then be mad at the individuals. Don't assume that all people that buy or own certain things are "nobody" or that they are doing it because they think it will make them happy or better people.

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.

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.
