- Imagine what he could have done if he had those amenities. - Krusty Jul 3, 07:58 6
  - A/C is really the only one that's not necessary today. Most people can't get to work without a car so I'll count that one as necessary. -- nm - Krusty Jul 3, 07:59 5
    - um, i have never owned a car in my life. we have one now, but i still don't drive to work, i take transit. -- nm - Andie Jul 3, 08:00 4
      - if you organise your life without a car your need for one is lower :) - DaneDukeNuuk Jul 3, 08:03
      - (again, not saying you shouldn't drive to work, i am saying it is meant to make you really think about needs.) - Andie Jul 3, 08:02 1
        
        I agree and it has made me think about what is necessary and what isn't. -- nm - Krusty Jul 3, 08:03
      - I have never had a license so I know it's possible to be fine without one but life in America has changed and jobs aren't as close as they used to be. - Krusty Jul 3, 08:02
- while you live in a capitalist society it's pritty much impossible for most to rethink what they "need" -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Jul 3, 07:58 4
  - glad to see everyone is taking this literally. it is meant that to point out that what we consider needs aren't *really*. - Andie Jul 3, 07:59 3
    - thats true but were all bombared with what some producers with an advertising budget feel we shoul think is a need - DaneDukeNuuk Jul 3, 08:01 1
      - exactly. -- nm - Andie Jul 3, 08:02
    - I think some of those are needs based on how life is today. - Krusty Jul 3, 08:01
