You quoted the wrong post while referencing what I said? You went after exactly what I said.
And as per the not reading the conversation still. I am in no delusion about materialism. All of my posts about the iPhone being materialistic are in fact poking fun at the fact at the topic starter who rallied against materialistic people while indulging in a bit of it himself with the iPhone...
High and mighty? I really should have copied your post before you deleted it. Haha.
You absolutely are in delusion about materialism - complaining that an iphone is not needed by anyone simply because you don't need it. You're complaining that owning iphone is materialistic and that you can get a phone for $20 because he likes an iphone but doesnt see the need in an ipad.
What I said was clearly mocking the fact that people think the iphone is simply materialistic because only some people have uses for it. "It doesn't add anything to your life that could not be achieved with simpler things." Explain to me how I could guarantee 24/7 email responses for clients without an iphone? Right.
But no problem - you're right.
The iPhone is also materialistic crap. It doesn't add anything to your life that could not be achieved with simpler things. If you needed a phone you can get them for $20 at a post office.
So a phone is materialistic crap? Yeah ok!
The iPhone is. No more or less then an iPad. Each represents a purchase which was both not necessary, and an over indulgence.
