EDIT: For some reason, I have not been permitted to post in the general area.
I will not assume that you have already requested access, but this is a general reminder: the GD area is opt-in, so you have to request access; unless the rules have changed, only those that meet the "50 Quality Posts and two-week membership" requirements can have access.

If you do not want to opt-in to the GD area, and you want to continue this discussion, them PM me and I will forward it to you.

I thought I sent my opt-in a long time ago, but I'll be happy to assume the off-topic topic is closed. I see your points, and those of the other posters. I simply choose to see the problem as somewhat larger and with a deeper socio-historical and economic context than "Most people" being "confused between wants & needs," and possessing "a sense of entitlement way out of proportion to what they can afford." I don't see most people that way, so we'll have to agree to disagree and get back to coins. Thanks for your thoughts.

If it wasn't for differing view points the world would be a pretty boring place. I don't have any problem with agreeing to disagree.

Tough Times........

Well.....guess we couldn't have held a better more descriptive opinionated theraputic discussion on why and who are having "hard times".....(!)

I like the answer in affecting "coin purchases"......."just being more selective" ....... !........We should all be more selective in this day and age !

chrsb......

You have to ask a Moderator to "turn it on" for you. It is not visable to you until you do so. Then you can "opt in".
There, you can discuss any and all non-coin related subjects.
