Criticism of how others choose to spend their money

[JD Barleycorn]

I hate that word "hater". It is so inexact. You try to cover so much with one word and many times miss target of your thoughts.

I don't think people who complain are haters, they are jealous first and incredulous next. They wish they could spend the kind of money they read about and then they wonder how can something be so expensive. Plus how can you be so interested that you need to spend that much. For some its cars, others its shoes, and for me it's guns. My weapons are working weapons. I have owned a Weatherby rifle (you gun guys know what I'm talking about) and it was a work of art. I bought in a combination of weakness and the availabilty of the rifle at a discount. It was nice but I was glad to sell it and get a Ruger 77. Same thing goes with pussy (I hate to be crass but it is what it is). What is the difference between a $150 an hour and a $600 an hour lady. If someone can answer that question then I have to ask myself if it is worth it to me.

If I read where someone dropped $3,000 for an evening with two ladies I have to wonder was it worth it. Couldn't I have bought something better with that money. The review had better be damn good for that kind of money too. I don't hate anyone for doing that. I just don't understand it.

Develope a vocabulary and stay away from pop language.

This says it all.

What I spend is my business, what you spend is yours.

Not all guys who spend less are not "have nots", sometimes they might have more money than the rest of us.

I just came back from a place where what you pay is a big argument. Many felt that those who came in and paid more drove up the cost for all. Might be a valid point to that. Sometimes its a buyer's market and sometimes a seller's market.

I'm not a B&G guy and I tend to spend a little more, in general I feel I get better service. If I feel there was a bid discrepancy between service and cost, I let other know.
