    Default Trivial Matters No.1 "Why are you materialistic?"

    I actually would like to have a decent discussion (decent meaning my IQ doesn't drop several orders of magnitude after reading three posts) pertaining to why you are, or are not, materialistic. I'm not saying it's bad to be so, it just depends on your own insight.

    Me? I'm not, however ironic that may be...there are things which have sentimental value to me, but if I were to suddenly lose all my possessions I wouldn't die.

    Because material things are the only logically falisifiable thing to be concerned with (eg. the only thing that could be disproven if it wasn't real.)

    As much as I hate to admit it, I'm materialistic. I like to have things because I've been without said things, so if I can afford said things now it makes me feel like I'm actually moving up a bit in the world, no matter how futile that is.


    Granted, if I lost those things to, say, a fire or some other natural act, I don't think I'd be particularly angry since material possessions are only temporary anyway, but if someone were to steal or knowingly destroy those things, I'd be furious.

    Principle of the thing and all that. My stuff is mine, go get your own to do stuff with, etc.

    I am materialistic because techonolgy has become a big part of our society. Think about it this way, most of yall probally have a cellphone and use it a lot. Isnt that considered a meterial, but if your just talking about alaways wanting thisgs yes I am materialistic in that way too. yes I want possitions, but there not my whole live.

    Well i havent actually thought about it before, but when cellphones were mentioned, i realised this- i don't think i'm particularly materialistic. The cell i have now was the only one i ever had, and even though i was offered a newer one, i kept it. to me the reason for my phone is to talk to my friends/parents when necessary, not the features. if i could be telepathic instead, i totally would ditch the phone.
    just one situation tho. and i'm not self-righteous or anything, thats just wat i think.

    On AF? you're asking too much. I'm pretty materialistic. I like all this stuff I have, but if you were to rob me of all my stuff...well, life goes on I guess. The only thing I really think I couldn't live without is probably my guitar. I'd like to think what I cherish has sentimental value rather then just a nice thing.

    I agree. It's pretty much the same thing with me and my clarinet(and pretty much how i feel about other objects). I don't how you would act if some one took your guitar but I would go on a murdurous rampage if anyone took mah clarinet. *huggles the black wood and silver keys. kisses the reed*

    Assuming that I'm assuming the right definition of materialism then kinda. I like having things, I could live without some of them but I don't want to. I wouldn't own something if I didn't want it, and you can never have to much stuff. I like stuff, especially random stuff like my penguin candy dispenser or my lucky caterpillar magnet.

    40x - 120 + 2 = 26

    I'm not because of entropy.

    Even if it holds sentimental value, it won't be around forever.
