[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my opinion, materialism is evil. It is the scourge of our time. Consumerism is our new religion. In my opinion there's nothing wrong with earning money. [/quote] Money for what?[/quote] Donating to charity. Living reasonably on. Paying for education. [/quote] Donating to charity is actually one main form of conspicuous consumption, especially when you tell other people about it. Living "reasonably" depends on what your definition of "reasonable" is. What may be reasonable to you, maybe considered the religion of "consumerism" to others. Education is yet another main form of conspicuous consumption, as it relates to credentialism and elitism. Especially when you tell other people about it. So as you can see, you are guilty! You need to atone for your sins. [/quote]
