This isn't really a complaint - I'm just interested in everyone's opinions. Maybe its the wrong forum...?
Anyway, you know when there's a major tragedy - - - lets use hurricane Katrina situation as an example - - - and you read or hear people commenting "how can other people buy materialistic things for themselves when people like the hurricane victims have no homes, food, etc."
How do you feel about people who make statements like that?
Let's suppose you already donated or even - - - let's say you haven't - is it not your prerogative to spend your hard earned money as you wish? Or - - do you feel that you should go without certain things and use all your leftover or free money (if you are lucky enough to have some) and send it to underprivileged people who need it badly?
What is your opinion on this and what would you say to someone who makes the above statement? I'm curious.
