But they did not want anyone else to move there - so as not to taint their new found Utopia. They want the land to stay "untouched" yet they build huge million dollar homes. Then they need a golf course, Starbucks, etc. but think they are roughing it because there is not a Super Wal-Mart nor will they allow one. They say they despise the government, but they are the first in line for any gov programs. They must "get theirs" before someone else gets it.

Yuppies. All they talk about is everything you mentioned. I consider myself to be "real". You are "real". Yuppies are fake. Made up of all of their material possessions. If it weren't for that bigger house, fancier car, designer clothes, the entertainment news of the week, cause of the moment, they would be nothing. Empty human shells.<BR/><BR/>Like you, my life has been filled with a variety of people from all over the world. Always willing to listen to both sides of the story and then attempting to make an informed decision. Based on fact and history.<BR/><BR/>Thank you Lt.

In fact, isn't the latter more contemptible?<BR/><BR/>This might seem like a non sequitur, but it reminds me of arguments about welfare. People probably freaking die early due to high blood pressure caused by their seething thoughts of lazy welfare moms leeching off the system, while corporate welfare hardly even enters their consciousness.<BR/><BR/>What I'm getting at is what I see as a disparity in our collective outrage in most matters, like we're all yelling a the damn kids on our lawn while someone else is moving everything we own out the backdoor.<BR/><BR/>So sure, these people can be annoying and they're often hypocrites (which isn't saying much since we're all hypocrites) but on my list of "people who deserve to be knocked down a few pegs" they don't rank at the top.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-210575587086373532.post-43732046114835499372008-04-07T06:42:00.000+07:002008-04-07T06:42:00.000+07:00I hate you too.

Their hedonistic consumption creates a marketplace where hard working and industrious people can generate endless supplies of useless furnishings and feed their families. An entire upper-middle crust of society vying for the newest and trendiest clothes, cars and home decor ensures a sellers market. The emperor will have his new clothes and everyone is going to make a buck. Capitalism is great. Don't forget sir, consumption must be balanced by production.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
