Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

If you say that *****exuals are an abomination and deserve to burn in hell that's not a personal attack but it's still an attack and *****exuals will take it personally.
I may have "implied", but I didn't "say".
Also, your argument about the *****exuals is invalid because *****exuals are simply what they are whereas people spending money can reason and make decisions.

Still I believe it does not.
The definition of "waste" does not include what any rich person "thinks".
Obviously rich people often waste a lot and don't care about it, but just because they can doesn't mean it's righteous.

I try, but people are very easily offended and especially when confronted with themselves.
