More a sarcastic expression of my disdain for the North American Shopping Mall and those who call her home.
How people can derive pleasure buying low-quality clothes and widgets made by people in horrible conditions is beyond me. Never mind the impact on our environment.
I have a lot of compassion for addicts. I used to be an opiate addict. It's all the same phenomenon; trying to fill an internal void with something external.
I suspect that the majority here, however, do not feel the same way. I've seen too many posts where folks describe their love of amazon with a fervour best described as religious.
A person needs a pair of pants. Maybe, they don't want to use Amazon, or online services. They go to a store. It's in a mall.
Now, they're idiots for some inane, bizarre, incomprehensible reason. Even the "cheap clothes" they use to keep themselves safe from the elements are worse, than the "cheap clothes" bought elsewhere, like from Amazon?!
What a weird thread.
