Can't they spend it on better causes? Not just charitable donations. I mean enough to make a real difference.

To preface my question, I am *not* talking about the 40 and over segment of our population, but instead possibly the 25 - 39 set. That said, I'll continue.

These folks are quick to embrace their cellular phones, podcasts, business productivity applications, blogging and other hip technologies when it suits them.

Yet they look down upon their slightly younger (and sometimes their direct age cohorts) when it comes to the fun side of the internet - instant messaging and social networking.

What's so wrong with it, anyways?

Their main argument is that it's "all so immature". Over and over I hear only that objection, but few others.

Get over it.

These medium can be an excellent tool for productivity, because it seems that's all you care about. It isn't just the realm of teenagers anymore, but a widely accepted form of contact and collaboration.

It can help you get in touch with friends. You had them once, remember? Back in the hazy mists of time, before you stepped into that cubicle.

Back in 2001, I moved from NY to CA. (Long Island to Sacramento). Back in High School, my accent was pretty heavy and I was a walking laugh machine. But since then... My accent as taken on a sorta "valley girl" curve :) "thats like totally to die foah!"
But i'm wondering how many have been through similar situations? Massive relocation and (to you) and abnormal change of environment? Anyone?

We can't say Merry Christmas anymore because it is offensive. Santa can't say Ho Ho Ho anymore because it is offensive. They don't want us spanking our kids anymore becuase someone thinks it is not nice. We don't accept anyone who isn't exactly like us - because different is obviously bad and should be beaten into submission. Anyone over 102 lbs is considered obese and therefore different. We spend our lives walking on eggshells for fear what we say may offend someone else. CRAZY!!! We've come to live in a hitleresque world with the Steppford wives telling us that we actually like living this way. i find this offensive - and since everything these days is run by what others find offensive - do you think i have a leg to stand on to takesociety to court and sue them for offending me? LOL! Just wondering when we becamse such robots in our own lives?

I've decided to make my stand against the consumerism rampant during the holidays. Everyone in my family is in their thirties or older, enough with the presents already, its stressful, pointless, and wasteful! If we have enough money to shop we should give it to someone who really needs it. None in my family are wanting for anything, so I feel this is what we should be doing to truly celebrate the season. This is very unusual for us and I'm wondering if I will get backlash. If I do I am fully prepared to defend my position, as I am deliberate in all my actions and do not go forward without complete conviction. Tell me what you think.
