I'm a consumer, DAMNIT!!!

[Micheal Kelso]

i AM amsterdam.





i have recently come to realize that happiness is within myself. regardless of what i own. i've always known this, i think it just got lost for awhile. it was fun while it lasted. there is some really cool shit out there. but it all just turns to trash in the end. dig another landfill.


what will happen to ALL of the lead tainted products recalled? no ones mentioned that. in fact it's old news now yet everyday more and more products are put on the list. did Jr. really need that lead coated toy cell phone? he is only 2.

Yep - totally. I find myself shopping around in stores for no reason. Just because I am not ready to head home yet, or I am bored, or for some reason I think I will find some magic find that I need... it always turns into some crap that sits in a box and never gets used then trashed or sold in a garage sale... It's insane how we think we need shit. The commercials for Home Shopping network are the best, the song goes " Something for me, something for you, or just because I need something to do " so blatant and true..

I purchased an SUV for the snowboard season this last winter --- I could have afforded a new Hummer if I wanted to... I chose a run down Isuzu that just needed a starter and tags and this $1400 POS made it to the top of the mountain everytime... $40,000 SUV or $1900 ($1400 and some parts) and some elbow grease and a little sense of pride and I'm rocking with the rest of em... I would feel like an idiot in the Hummer anyway, the Isuzu is more my style I guess...

found something: trimmers

4 people, 25 dollars an hour, they are at 5 hours each so far and just getting started. i have employees.

 

[mastakoosh]

consumers. all of you. i think you missed the point.

is it the un needed urge to spend when you have everything you need or want.

 

[mastakoosh]

when i get paid i always think what can i buy? but i really cant think of anything so i wander around wal mart buying useless shit. that is what we as americans have ingrained in us. spend spend spend!!!!

 

[tckfui]

aww man ... I would have done the trimming for a joint an houre

 

[Micheal Kelso]

Wait you get 4 people for $25 an hour or you have to pay them each that much = $100 hour?

If you get all 4 for $25 that's not bad. That's like paying them minimum wage.

You could buy them lunch and smoke them out to be cool too

Dude go to home depot, you could pick up 4 undocumented workers for 25 dollars an hour and lunch.

You would have to watch em like they watch the workers in "New Jack City" maybe even force them to work naked!

i was posting a reply to what the other guy said about wal-mart.

americans have no idea they're being steered into doing shit they that they dont even want to do, unknowingly. victims of clever marketing and advertising, we have no idea that we're in a maze like a bunch of rats.
