Want vs need: false dichotomy.


Want vs Need = Reality

Like it or not, you have been sucked in.  You are letting wants become needs through abject ignorance of the objective criteria for both.  Don't worry, though.  You have lots of company.

What do you eat, and how do you cook it?

Do you have electricity?  People survived without it for quite a long time...

Do you own a microwave?  Totally unnecessary.

Do you own a motor vehicle?  There are these things called horses...

How on Earth do you justify internet access for yourself?

This is absurd.  I'm not responding to your trolling anymore.

Nice try kid but I've been around a few more blocks than you, some of them on my hands and knees.  You're grasping at straws, trying to justify a position of entitlement by fielding it as a necessity.  Sorry, but that doesn't get a drop of sympathy from me.

Technically speaking, and from an economic standpoint, the difference is much less than you think.

From a moral standpoint, I'm entitled to anything I can earn money to buy, or to get another person to give me out of their own free will.

This sort of want vs. need talk is how leftists justify banning stuff they don't like.
