I think this is where you put your arguments forward and I try to give a different opinion.

Let's get this thread started: What is is that you don't like about consumerism, nefardec? Shoot

Two grand? I got a guy that'll give it to me for 10 bucks a pop.

Game. Set.

people should consider themselves lucky to be living in a consumer-driven society.

i try to stay out of forum arguments like this, but if you'd like to meet at a mall somewhere to go shopping and talk about it, i'd be happy to do that

no seriously, i just think there are more important pursuits in life, such as creative acts, spirituality, friendship, etc. i personally don't feel the need to 'have things', except for what i need to do the above.

im currently working on an architectural thesis that deals in part with the destruction of art as a commodity, so when it is done i can post it and it will hopefully be a more expressive and convincing collection of my arguments

^^^ Fair enough. We can talk about it if we ever meet. I'll be looking forward to it
