What's better to have?

[Goliath]

Seriously, a nice member of the forum was asking a simple question. There is no need for you to come in here and criticize him for that. Thanks.

I'm sorry, but I just think such a question is a very sad commentary on the sorry state our over-consumptious society is in nowadays. We're now discussing which piece of electronic crap is better. I find that funny, I'm sorry.

I dearly love my iPod, but I'm more of a TV-watcher than I am a music-listener... so I'm gonna have to say go for the Blu-ray player!

I don't have surround sound either but the picture alone is worth it!

(and Blu-rays are really cheap on amazon).

What's better to have?

Your health. Food on the table. Clothes on your body. Friends. Family. A good education. Peace.

Oh, the question was about luxuruous crap nobody needs? Sorry, can't help you there.

Okay, well considering I am healthy, have food on the table and clothes on my body as well as friends and family in addition to a good education I don't feel like I should have to come on to such a friendly forum and ask a simple question and be criticized for it. Personally, I don't recall ever having a conversation with you, so I find it especially rude that you come in here and have a sarcastic attitude with me. You claim you can't help me? Then why post a response of this nature at all?

Do you know anything about me? Anything? Chances are you don't. Our "over-consumptious society" and a question about which "piece of electronic crap" people prefer are two completely different topics. If I had wanted to start a discussion about our society I very well could have. But I didn't. I simply wanted people's opinions on which device they thought would come in handy more. Just because I posted a topic about iPods and Blu-Ray players does not mean I find our "over-consumptious society" less important. Thanks.


Now then, I would like to thank everyone who had something to say about this and was able to help me in a kind manner.

It's still a toss-up for me. Many people are saying the iPod, and as much as I love my music I find myself watching TV quite a lot! There's a great chance that I'll go for the iPod, since (like people said) Blu-Ray players and discs will go down in price. Heck, if I get that job at Big Y I'll get money, and maybe I can find a player on sale for cheap either on Black Friday or during an after-Christmas sale!

I think it would be wise to consider the type of forum this is, as it specifically revolves around Disney DVD's and now Blu-Rays as well. And given that many iPods play video that can either be ripped from these discs or pulled from a digital copy, this forum seems more than an appropriate place to ask such a question.

Maybe it seems our society is quick to take the things we need for granted, but there's really nothing wrong with wanting to indulge in a few "unecessary" extras when we can afford them. This is basically a site that revolves around these specific indulgences so I really don't understand why such a criticism was made here.

I find it quite ironic, Goliath, that you talk about "electronic crap", when you yourself are indeed using a piece of said "crap" to type your bitter, unwarranted remarks in the first place.

Thank you for backing me up, enigmawing and Cory_Biddle

[DaveWadding]

I dunno, which do you think I would choose?

[blackcauldron85]

I voted for the iPod, since you will bring that to college with you...versus the Blu-ray player, which you said you probably wouldn't bring with you...
