Ding Dong Jambomo on high! Dec 2014 3:04pm, 21 Dec 2014 5,052 posts	Quote Pin Ding Dong Jambomo on high! a bit controversial but the constant anti-materialism and the phrase 'people getting stuff they don't need' comments that goes around, especially at Christmas, but at other times of years. I'm not saying being madly greedy and demented (a la Black Friday (sorry Fitz)) is in anyway good. however working hard and wanting to buy yourself something nice, and maybe a bit frivoulous or unnessecary to living, doesn't make you a bad person. If people didn't want some materialistic goods then how can I buy (or this year make) them a present which will make their face light up and enhance their lives? Yeah sure, i don't need my iPhone but it means that I am connected with people I love, its something I have bought and paid for myself (which i am a bit pleased about) and it enhances my life. There is nothing wrong with sometimes having stuff that you want, rather than need.
