Possibly there is a language problem...but nevertheless I have to point out that it's my money...If I want to light a cigar with a Hundred dollar bill, it's my choice...My Money. MY money. Keyword is "MY" not "yours".
It is totally irrelevant if "kids are dying of starvation". That may sound harsh...but, MY contributions to charities are MY Business (and very substantial, though that is also irrelevant). I'll judge what "luxury" is 'right' for me, as will others judge for themselves. It's not your place to judge someone else's use of THEIR money as "Wrong".
If YOU want to sing "We are the World" and wave lighted candles while you sway slowly left and right, I suggest you do it someplace else. imho
Did you hit a sensitive nerve, you betcha! Lots of talk these days in the US about redistribution of wealth...it gets old.
Signed..."Cranky Old Man"
P.S. I'll probably only leave this post up for a day or so, then delete. I don't want the thread to go too far off track for too long.
