I nearly left this thread upon reading it involved people who ate "artisan cheese" whatever that is. However, the simplistic, act stupid, feel good, quote above riveted me back in.

Don't these morons even remotely realize that it is our consumption of things produced by "workers" that has lifted people OUT OF MISERY over the last two centuries ?

Good Lord save us from those unable to distinguish between good and evil in this world.

To add to your part about our consumption lifting people out of misery. These people obviously can afford new clothes, and pretty much whatever they want, or at least need. There are those, that all they can afford are thrift store and garage sale items. By buying from thrift stores, didn't that deprive someone who can only afford that?

Heck to continue with that line of thought, it takes perfectly good water to flush their sh!t down the toilet. If they were so concerned about others, why pee in what could be someone else's drinking water.

Did they think about the energy they were using when they went on the Today show, or whatever show they went on? It took gas to get them there. Electricity to operate the cameras, lights and sound. Electricty to transmit the signal. And more electricty for people to watch their tvs. All to feed these peoples egos.

When these people breathe, they consume precious oxygen that people more deserving could breathe. And then they have the audacity to expel poisonous gases.

And yet they think they were doing the world a favor?

Maybe they should have thought more about the well being of others in the world, an had an acute injection of lead to the brain.

Recently I had to listen (because I can't stop myself) to a talk radio program where 99% of the callers lamented about how consumerist Spanish society was becoming, how much like the USA we have become, how Christmas here is now like the USA (which accoding to one caller was something created in 1929 by JEWISH store owners, but that's a rant for another thread).
well I couldn't help myself, I tried to call in, but ended up emailing that maybe these people should think about how comfortable they are calling from phones in their house that has electricity and clean safe running water to one of many radio stations (some even emailed their hate of capitalism and technology)...anyway, my comment didn't get aired. odd isn't it?
