218. More of a "Monk"
If my "monk" you mean, someone who lives simply -- tending to my own NEEDS and the NEEDS of others, rather than purchasing CONVENIENCES FOR MYSELF, then I guess you would call me a "monk"!!

I certainly am not catholic or anything like that!!!

And I do not live in a monestery!!!

For me, spending money -- LOTS OF MONEY -- on an EXPENSIVE CONVENIENCE -- while seeing other people whose BASIC NEEDS are not met is WRONG.

But that's JUST ME.

You -- or anyone else -- can feel free to spend YOUR OWN MONEY however the HELL you want to spend it!!

Spend it on $1,000 DISHWASHERS!!

Or spend it on $50,000 SUV's!!

Or spend it on PS3's!!

I DON'T CARE HOW >>YOU<< SPEND >>YOUR<< MONEY!!!

And, if it makes you feel better about spending LOTS OF MONEY on EXPENSIVE CONVENIENCES, go ahead and give poor, homeless people $20.00 in loose change that you have lying around!!

It's YOUR money, after all!!
