Yup, there's nothing like a bunch of paid busy-bodies rendering value judgments on how other people live their lives.

THANK YOU! Who cares what people are spending their money on, and how others feel they "waste" it? I read this article as well, and I thought it was awful. Spending money - especially leisure money - is what keeps this economy going.

I also like how they titled the article "Ten Things Americans...", as though all Americans can be lumped under one banner of wasteful spending. That one wasnt worth the hard drive space it was stored on...

If you remove the word PAID from this sentence, you have what's generally wrong with America today.
ESPECIALLY in the Bible Belt.

If you replace the word "America" with "the world" and "the Bible Belt" with "they who should not be named" this statement becomes more powerful.

So... are you saying that it is people in the Bible Belt who frequently involve themselves in the business of others???

Without breaking forum rules, I can only say that I have met a lot of people here in this area
who do not see the log in their own eye for trying to help me get the speck out of my own.
I think that a lot of times, people forget that in America, hundreds of thousands have
died for the right of everyone to do their own thing. But once or twice a week, they get
reminded that it's their duty to help me realize the error in my ways. It gets old FAST.
I CHOOSE to do things my way. It is not intended to be an insult to their way.

At the risk of being hypocritical, YES, I do tend to exhibit similar behaviors on this forum.
But this is not America, this is CA, lol. The rules are slightly different, lol
