You are completely right about Apple products being expensive and I am happy to say I own only an iPad which I bought years ago cheap.
Festival of hypocrisy in progress. I like how you had to add the adverb "only". I am pretty sure that about two billion people that live in extreme poverty would disagree with your "only". Same goes for "cheap", your fifty dollars are probably what an entire family makes in a year in several countries.
And as a matter of fact, the ring on my finger increased value while I wore it doing nothing. Technically speaking I could help way more people than I could before. Your iPad decreased value, therefore not only you wasted money but you can help less people.
People that buy an iPhone an iPad mini, iPad Air, MacBook and iMac because they feel they need that many computers to fill every crevice of their life... Greedy.
You have no clue what greed is. Bill Gates has money, all the computer he wants, he has Rolls-Royces, and an airplane. I wouldn't define him as greedy just because he has more. Ok, cool, you want to play the poor man hero, go help them. Don't waste time here, there's a lot of work to do, and certainly there is much more that can be done other than complaining about people who earned their money. (without knowing if they're philantropists, volunteers etc.)
One! Not more! An iPad bought cheap ages ago to perform basic tasks such as checking email and browsing the web, paying bills etc.
Go to the library. It's free. Who do you think you are to be the one that sets the ethical line between waste and honest use?
Excessive indulgence is more than one needs, it's being greedy!
If you ever had a beer, or a coke, or a smoke, or even went to the movie theatre, or bought a book you have no right to tell us that we're overindulgent.
Speak for yourselves regarding how many expensive Apple devices you own and how many luxuries you indulge in, and don't make presumptions about someone you don't even know...
So you judge us by the apparences (online!) and we should just shut up?
One old iPad is not even on the same scale as overpriced jewellery that does nothing but "look good" or a gallery of overpriced computers when all you really need is one!
What 'scale'? Who defines the 'scale'? your iPad will lose value, gold won't (except regular fluctuation). What do you know about what we need? I have a family of four, we communicate, do homework (all of us), work, study, watch tv programs, learn, watch documentaries, talk to distant relatives, etc. Who are you to tell me what I should have and how I should use it?
Yes, I do treat myself sometimes, but my treats are reasonable, modest and not over the top, selfish and greedy!
Attaboy.
That's the problem with today's world, everyone wants all the "luxuries" and that's why humanity is in disgusting amounts of dept and the banks and corporations rule the globe!
No, the problem is not that everyone wants all the luxuries. The problem is that people like you talk on forums, share pictures of poor people, complain about other's propriety and then do nothing other than donating $5 to the Red Cross and telling other people how superior they are.
You want to know? The most concerned people I have met all have money. They work, create wealth and share. A lot. They are active in their community, they make proposals, they go to every single event, they work overtime for the community. People like you just talk.
