i like material possessions, however i also like not looking after them very well, and when people come up to me and go, man if i owned your bass guitar i'd look after it a bit better i just go "loser" and scratch it up with a stanley knife. i like nice things in bad shape. i don't know why... |

|
|
exactly! |

Don't say you are not materialistic unless you are happy to give away everything you own and start again. |

Exactly. Google ads summing it up very succinctly - how ironic |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Google ads as word-definition - who'd 'a thunk it?! |

all that is a tangible concept of ownership is just another form of materialism like those who might deem themselves spiritualistic, it is just another form of a belief in an idea to satisfy and / or block out impending demons to be faced |

Property is theft, eh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sure, matter matters. |

I've given most of my stuff away, I guess that makes me fairly non-materialistic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Voluntarily? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ha-ha, yes, voluntarily. I've never felt comfortable owning things. Just about the only possession I wouldn't give away would be my piano. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
can i have your computer then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can i have your clothes? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can we have your liver then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no. possession is a sham. |
||||||||

I said I was not particularly materialistic, guys, not a sucker :p |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If true, that's great! I only give away money. I like my things. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Im a dialectical materialist |
||||||||

|
|
The only thing I really care about owning is records... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't believe in just having stuff for the sake of it. Almost everything i own has a purpose of some sort. |

Yes, where the damaged doesn't effect the functionality of it (IE scratches on CDs/records are a big no no) I'm like that too. It's a bit like scars, but on objects, you feel as if you've been through something with it. This lappy has a blinking screen from when some baggage handler in a hotel knackered it and a massive gash in one hinge and some road rash on it from where it went down the road at 60mph. I feel a lot more emotional about it than I would a new computer. I suppose, considering I use it to do music, this is a good thing. |

the only way capitalism can survive is by keeping society a bunch of fucking morons that buy shit they have absolutely no NEED for. i mean how did anyone make any money before guns? how really did a monetary based civilization even get started? organized crime. people with guns that killed other people for their land so you'd have to pay them to use it even tho it isn't anybody's in the first place otherwise they'd kill you with their guns for trespassing on land that wasn't there's to begin with.
