Materialistic?

I am relating a huge generialization, but here goes nothing.....people say that Americans are materialistic.....
Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Why even bring something like that up? It all comes down to opinion, and people are gonna start bitching at each other.

Anyone who owns anything is materialistic, in a way. You want to have nice things, and like when you have them.

Personally I think materialistic is such a harsh word.....Usually its uttered by people who generally think bad of Americans anyway.

People say a lot of things about what they don't understand. Any kind of statement like "All American's are materialistic" are bogus.

It's also a fallacy. I believe it is a hasty generalization.

Yeah, exsactly. Lots of people are like that. (Notice I didn't say ALL people are like that 🙂 ).

I'm proud of you, but that prob is not a fallacy 😄 ....people make fallacies all the time 😉 ...you should read the paper...they're packed with various fallacies.

This is where you start a debate to define "materialistic"so you can dodge the subject entirely. 😉

um, your materialistic? 🙁 😕 😕

Yes, a bit yes. I try not to be too much, but when it comes to DVD's I want them all.

and we all know his obsession with Tombraider...

Not obsession, liking. And the movie wasn't too great, but Jolie was. 😉

all people are materialistic. Given the opportunities people yerns for stuff.

I agree.

and then people call you obsessed, how rude!

Pardon?

that's the point

Of course.

didn't want to overcomplicate things for you

You're too kind.
