Blimye. What a thread. Bloody thought police jumping down the mans
throat because he wants to waste his money.

It's the British talent for envy, cant and hypocrisy coming to the
fore
again!

Where? Telling someone he is doing something very stupid is not envy.
I
cant see any envy.



But I see a lack of sense of responsibility on the part of those that
think "If I can afford to waste energy, it's OK"

We're heading towards a potential energy crisis and runaway global
warming and the ostriches bury their head in the sand and think it's not
their problem

Many people with money like to show it off. They have a house far too
large
for their needs, expensive impractical cars and let people know they can
waste energy. Luckily people now do not sneer the first two, but
rightly
sneer the latter. They tend to be not very bright, just happened to
have
made a lot of money somehow, and still have this tiny minded attitude
of: if
I have the money I can waste it if I like. They can waste it all they
like
as far as most are concerned, and spending it is a good thing for the
economy, except where it impacts on the rest of society.


er..spending it to increase the economy does impact teh rest of society..

To the positive. Money circulating is better than money laying in banks
where is doe sweet nothing.
