      So what's stopping you from leaving the comfort of your home, trading all your cloths for potato sac robes and helping the unfortunate people around you? No offence, I just don't believe you.

      Safety.

      You really believe everyone is a shopaholic? In last couple of months I bought boots after 3 years (only cause I had to) and a couple of empty CDs. (not including basics such as food, home bills, and I don't know - hair shampoo...) There are a whole lot of things I would like to enjoy all the time that require money, such as traveling, concerts, movies....but that means buying an experience, not a product (at least for a ticket buyer). It doesn't fall under a category: 'I want to have this! This is mine!'.
      Come on! What if Martin Luther King said: "I kinda have a dream... nah, I don't wanna talk about it."

      I didn't say anything about shopaholics...nor do I care about your personal spendings.

      You are very kind. As I wrote that to impress you?! Seriously?

      Why don't you believe Idolfan? What is so hard to believe?
