So, if you desire one so bad. Earn enough money to BUY one. It really is that simple. Just think, Kim Kardashian has no skills that anyone can think of other than an ability to film a sex tape, and look where she is now.
It really is that simple. Instead of whining and moping DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
Your post is more epic than I could have fished you out of.
Someone with no skills can get that watch yet some American families can't make a house payment. I'm glad you opened that door kiddo.
I don't need that watch. My family does just fine.
I love that you don't understand the point, as always.![]()
The point is you whine incessantly about those who have more than you. That's it. You're a one trick pony. The reality of horology is if it weren't for rich people (who in one case have actually funded a school to keep the skills alive) all there would be are cheap battery powered watches. It is simply too expensive for the vast majority of people to buy a high quality mechanical watch/chronograph. Thus, were it not for rich people supporting the craftsmen who make them, those people would be out of a job and those highly specialized and technical skills would be lost.
That's the reality of those expensive watches but you're too fucking stupid to look past the end of your pointy nose and see what the back story is. You simply don't care about the back story because your petty jealousy doesn't allow you to see.
You're like the imbeciles vandalizing the Buddhist statuary in Afghanistan because it offended your sensibilities. Ignoring the fact that you have the sensibilities of a barbarian.
Also, you fell right into place by not knowing what COULD be done with that money. Feed people or get something shiny. Clothe people or get something shiny. Give some people shelter or get something shiny............
It's called investment.
No one will remember you if you buy that watch. Everyone will remember you if you are a good human...
No. It's you who don't seem to get it. I know far more what could be done with all of that money. I have been where there is real poverty. I KNOW what it means to be hungry. You've probably never been hungry in your miserable little life. I also know that the people who buy those watches generally do more good with their money than you ever will. A good friend of mine passed away a few years ago who was very, very wealthy. The usual trolls, like you, posted the usual whiney stuff in the comments section of the story describing his life and death.
The funny part was a whole host of regular people pointed out to the morons, like you, that he was responsible for a good proportion of the public open space in the Bay Area. One guy felt it important enough that he had funded huge tracts to be set aside for the PUBLIC.
What the fuck have you ever done but whine and snivel and beg your betters for handouts. YOU are a slave pal. You are an angry little slave who will live a miserable life and no doubt die a miserable death.
"No. It's you who don't seem to get it. I know far more what could be done with all of that money"
So now you are contradicting your previous and current statements.
You state you have a friend that passed away and he was responsible for public space in Bay Area's.....That's Liberal in your own definition. I think I'm understanding you now though. You think it takes a powerful person to make a certain area free when I hold the stance it was free when the Indians were here. Politics does that to the smallest of brains though, creates bias and the inability to think.
We live in America. We took the land. Get knowledge, get informed, get educated. We did NOT discover America!!!
I don't want the watch! Even if I was super rich I wouldn't want it! I'm simply well off and watching people LIKE YOU admit you are poor and blaming taxation. Fox News and other Right Wing media has convinced you that you would be just fine if taxation wasn't so high. Yet taxation is in the Constitution and a part of the plan for America so maybe you need to find the difference between necessary taxation and unnecessary taxation! (that is for all parties.)
Poor morons like you always look at your paycheck and think how much you could have had without taxation. People like me do just fine. I understand the bad spending and fight it. You simply fight all spending instead of bad spending. That's the difference. WELCOME TO POLITICS.
I'm not a progressive, I'm anti-party (HENCE THE NAME!). Read a bill! Inform yourself on all parties! Only then will you know what I do. The Right Wing has created drones like you to fight anyone that disagree's in an American political system based on OPINION!.
I fight for my own opinion, you call me a totalitarian like a tool for a party. Do you fight for your own opinion? Or are you one of the millions that justify other opinions because of the "greater good"?
The Indians took it from those who were here before them. That's the nature of man. You are a puppy who thinks he knows a lot. You don't. You know what your masters tell you and that's all. I suggest you start by reading John Rawls "A Theory of Justice".
