I really don't get it... What's with all these stupid little electronic toys people are obsessed with that will be obsolete in 6 months? - if it lasts that long! Sounds like a waste of money to me. Why not save for a car or a house? I guess I will never understand the materialistic capitalist ways of the American society. Man, I need to get out of here.
Well, perhaps the capitalistic nature of Americans derives from the fact that we are a capitalist country. If you don't like it theres always Cuba and China. buying a house or a car is still capitalist and materialistic. Maybe the car won't go obsolete as fast, but what the hell...I've already got a car and a house to live in. Since I sold cloppert my old palm pilot, I decided it might be a good time to start looking for a new one, seeing as how I'm about to start working somewhere. Why not get the best one on the market? I have the money now, because of graduation and tax refunds. Fuck it, I don't need to justify what I spend my money on to anyone except me.
whoa! i wasn't asking you to justify yourself. i was just simply stating i personally do not understand Americans' need for all those little electronic toys. yeah a house and a car are materialistic and capitalistic, but i think they're more important than a handheld computer. personally, i'd rather see my money in cancer research. i can keep organized with my planner and a pencil.
