re: Why y'all gotta be so materialistic?

I would consider myself a bit materialsitic. I like to have things. My dad doesn't have a job because he's a lazy *bleep* and my mom's a cashier at a hardware store, so money flow into my household isn't very high. With a household size of 6, 7 when my sister comes home, money is usually a bit tight. I'm pretty happy and a bit lucky to have what I have but I wouldn't mind a bit more.

Happy KKK anniversary, kiddies!



KKK anniversary was last month genius. 3/11 anybody? Maybe it's a southern thing[Amerifag Land, Proud to be a Amerifag]

Also, on the main topic, I hate hearing about people being all I get this *insert expensive item* and *insert equeally expensive item*, and their all like acting like they care aaskig you what you got and act entuhiastic when you really are about teh two pair of skinny jeans, two belts, two shirts, and a jacket. You're happy as *bleep* and they act like, wow i feel bad for them.


Wrong, On the 24th of April, 1866, The Ku Klux Klan was formed. I read it in On This Day.

Also, I am a Britfag.

re: Why y'all gotta be so materialistic?

My parents make well over $10000 each and yet they never buy me anything, unless it is Christmas or my birthday. I have to make my own money, which isn't alot. I don't even work part time, and my allowance is 20$ a week. I was saving up for like 3 months to buy a Wii.

I hold an annual Beerpong game in my apartment on Easter sunday. Just like any other holiday, Easter is just an excuse to get plastered.

re: Why y'all gotta be so materialistic?

Yeah, I hate some of them. There's a guy I know who can get pretty much everything he wants, despite the fact he gets at least one F a day and moans everytime he gets one, as if it's not his fault.

re: Why y'all gotta be so materialistic?

Some people are like that because they're so use to getting more wants than needs, if you take away the wants then they'll probably rage pretty damn hard. As for me I don't think I've ever been materialistic...at least I hope not.

re: Why y'all gotta be so materialistic?

Hell, I pulled near 16,000 on my own working thirty hour weeks as a clerk. That's still not very much, either. Between bills and keeping you alive, I'd not bitch about what you get.

I grew up poor as *bleep* and ate ramen every day for six years. Now my family and myself have money, but I don't really flaunt it. I take what I need to survive and don't really blow spending out of proportion.

quote Vex the Pirate
I seem to always rage at people on neo saying things like "I ALWAYS GET PRESENTS AND LOTS OF MONEY AND THINGS"
It happens all the time, seriously. Why does it happen so much? Stop it.

I have to use a solar powered computer because my family can't afford electricity which is why i'm never online in the day time because it's charging off the sun, and i don't need you rubbing it in with your 2000 presents for no reason, gosh.

Dunno where i'm going with this, so yeah.

Don't you hate when spoilt kids always boast about their ridiculous luxuries and stuff?
Like "How was your christmas?" "I GOT A CONSOLE AND NINE NEw GAMES FOR IT"
Not what i asked, tool. >>

re: Why y'all gotta be so materialistic?

People who are spoilt and brag about it annoy me.
I honestly feel rather guilty if my parents spent to much money on me, or I feel bad if someone doesn't have something a good as me. :\

re: Why y'all gotta be so materialistic?

quote Trend
Not a lot of people are going to reply to this because they're ashamed that you've pretty much just describe almost all of humanity, no matter what people to say.

I'll admit that I am materialistic, people in today's society are pushed that way with the ways people act and think. Am I proud of it? No, of course not. I don't want to be dependent on my iPod or Cell Phone, but since they're there I feel that I might as well use them.

Obviously I feel horrible that I have things and you can't afford electricity, but there isn't a lot that I can do currently. I'm thirteen, I'm not old enough to even get a job.

Materialism will lead into many different debates and arguments, and why it is a bad or good (some people may think some good things have come from it) state.

And this thread will bring stereotypes like "NO, only Americans!" But really, it isn't just Americans, it's everyone in a developed and industrialized country.
I (almost) completely agree with you. I'm 13 too, and while I rely too much on my iPod and internet, I can appreciate how lucky I really am. I'm by no means spoiled by American standards, but of course just having a house to go home to and plenty of food to eat can be considered rich. Oh well, not really sure where I'm going with this.
