Yeah, that's why I wrote ...that serve no purpose other than displaying wealth..., I would consider making a display of some trait different from merely not taking steps to prevent people from noticing said trait.

So what do you mean? Very wealthy people drive (or are driven in) nice cars, wear expensive cloths and jewelery, don't think twice about dropping $$$ on a nice bottle of wine with dinner--and you're able to judge exactly which of those is inappropriate and therefore makes the person evil?
Bullshit.

Profit.

I'm not going to take out a loan to feed my manga addiction. That would just be wrong.
The only reason aside from emergencies that I might take out a loan for is to go to Japan, but I'm too scared to figure out the details, so I won't.
Really, if I didn't know better, I'd say you guys were planning to take me out and sell my stuff on the black market...
Which reminds me, my friend Akiko gets back from Japan Friday and is gonna give me some untranslated manga she bought from there Anyone want a scan of anything?
Edit: Japan Friday. That sounds like some sort of Cafe. Cool! I could even design outfits for it! Woa, okay, back to finals I go... Kait fucked around with this message on 05-23-2005 at 08:51 PM.

The foot pic is neato! Baby's feet are like a mix of Loki and Woody's. His are totally pink, and hers are totally black.
She even has little black polka dots on the top of one foot. Super cute.

His feet actually looked like he was wearing little white toesocks, when I first rescued him I tried to call him "Toesocks" or "Socks" but it didn't stick. He really was a gorgeous cat, sort of egyptian but all black except for his toes, a white stripe down his belly and a haphazard milk moustache that really looked like he'd gotten his nose into a bowl of white paint, haha.
The way our stairs are, there's gaps between then, and all my cats like to sit at the top steps and look down on the downstairs floor. When Baby did it, he looked like a gargoyle. So, I started calling him "Gargoyle." All my cats have at least two "official" names, and about a dozen others, haha. Man, cats are so great

All those things you listed, with the exception of some types of jewelery provide actual utility for the price, expesive wine tastes better than cheap wine, having a suit custom made ensures that it will fit you perfectly, those are perfectly legitimate luxury expenses for people who can afford them. On the other hand a person playing golf to display that he can afford it without actually enjoying the game or company or an overweight woman running around in a designer dress that makes her look like the she-beast of Calcutta just to show people that she owns designer clothes are cases that I would put into the realm of braggardly behavior.
Nothing is wrong with being proud of success, however more wealth does not always follow from more talent or effort, a large part of it is opprtunity, thus pride vested into a form of success measured solely by one's ability to accumulate money does seem somewhat misdirected.

That attitude right there is a reason that there are so many stuck-up, embittered poor people. Because of the fact that some people have gotten lucky and fallen into money, it invalidates all the hard work that others have done to make themselves successful. After all, why should I have to work for my windfall when Johan down the street accidentally invented the paper clip? Instead of going out, working hard and trying again when they fail, they just sit and wait for their opportunity and become bitter when it doesn't arrive.
Then as their resentment grows they get mad at the rich people for flaunting their wealth. It's not possible that they buy nice things because they like nice things, no, they dont wear nice clothes because they like to look good, they must be throwing it in my face! They think they're better than me when it's obvious that they just got lucky.
Until they offer to pick up the check.
When it comes time to choose my friends, if all other things are equal, Ill take a superficial rich guy to a resentful utilitarian because I have to be, and boy doesnt that make me mad poor person any day.
But I like to associate myself with success. It increases the chance that Ill get to be one of those rich assholes throwing my bling right into some poor persons eye. Better to give than to receive.

Wow, I'm glad I'm not stuck in a situation of having to be in contact with you, you sound like a superficial, spineless little sycophant. You'll associate with people just so that you might possibly have the opportunity to brag about wealth you obtained in part by sucking up to others? "Better to give than to recieve" You'll participate in a detestable activity just so you don't end up on the recieving side of it? Pathetic. If it weren't for the "hurr Godwin!!!"-brigade there'd be ample examples of what that behavior leads to.
Also you don't seem to realize that despite "going out, working hard and trying again when you fail" one can end up without a dime purely though factors beyond one's control, such as lack of opportunity. To use a somewhat tired example, there are tons of hard-working people in various parts of the world who cannot become the next Prince William because they are too busy being shot or starving, though no fault of their own. You better get busy rubbing your "bling" in their faces.
Material wealth is no more an indication of ability than a receding hairline is an indication of age, sure there may be a causal relationship between them in many cases, but they are very far from an accurate measurement. Mod fucked around with this message on 05-24-2005 at 07:31 PM.
