my point was if i want to run a nice car
then It’s my money why shouldn’t I - i don't see it as wasteful because i enjoy it so much.

are holidays wasteful, birthday gifts?

I know what your point was,
but whose money it is has no bearing on the morality of it. Money gives you the power to do things, it doesn't give you any moral entitlement.

Birthday gifts aren't wasteful if you know the person will use them. I hate receiving pointless tat, though, just because someone feels compelled to buy me something.

i am morally entitled to run a 350 bhp car for two reasons
1. i pay all my other bills first and look after my family well

2. it makes my tiny penis feels all tickly when I hit 60 in 4.8 secs

no you're not.
that just doesn't follow. Good deeds don't buy you more moral rights.

I'm not saying you shouldn't drive such a car, by the way. You can, so you do. Unless you're harming or helping someone by doing so, morality doesn't really come into it. It's only the sense of entitlement that I have a problem with.

*hangs head*
ok moon chick. can i have the car if i admit that i've worked really hard for it and very much appreciate how fortunate i am. can i keep it mooney please?

ha you don't get off that easily I'm afraid to say,
how hard you've worked for it has nothing to do with it either. You could have won it in a raffle for all I care.

The morality or immorality of driving a 350bhp car can only be justified by the motivations and/or consequences of driving said car, and not by anything else that has nothing to do with the car.

You have to make your own judgment here, of course. Not my business.

cool
i'll stick with my gorgeous car that i can afford that also gives me immense pleasure and makes my commute so much more worthwhile and enjoyable. and looks quite cool to (not me the car - i'm a fat fingered butter smeared fucknut)

your quite strict though aren't you. *tiny penis swells slightly*

I'm not really,
I've just got little patience for this "zero sum morality" that seems to be so popular. I can see how the idea of Karma caught on in the East ("well it doesn't look like it actually sums to zero, so I guess MAGIC must make it so").

To be honest I don't care if someone earns a lot, even though I don't earn a lot myself (on purpose). It's not what you've got that counts, it's what you do with it.

good, we agree on something then, my tiny penis can satisfy and...
i also use the majority of my earnings to look after my family. give to charity every month, do some charity work that involves me giving not just my money but my time and then spend a little on something i enjoy.

the exhaust note from the quad pipes is phenomenal!

why do you feel the need to constantly refer to your penis?

car joke fluffy
nothing more
(, Mon 14 Nov 2011, 7:58, closed)
once would have been a car joke
3 times is definitely something more.

damn, you have exposed my tiny penis truth shocker

(, Mon 14 Nov 2011, 17:10, closed)
or your penis obsession?
Hmmmmmm.
