resoucesmap.de is a website where people may put their needs and offers online on a map. Instead of throwing away something you don't need anymore, try to find someone who needs it.

I wrote a paper on this subject; if anyone is interested in reading it, send me a message.

We have only ourselves to blame. We wanted stuff based on how they make us feel, now we are the prisoners of our own desires. You do not buy based on value for money or what it can do for what you pay. You pay for how that thing makes you feel, making yourself even more empty on the inside, even more hooked to buy stuff you do not need. search on YouTube after Adam Curtis : The Century Of The Self.

@TheBrutalDeluxe Your straight and not retarded? what does that have to do with... God damnit, i wont even bother. And your right about the 100 000, if you read on you would realize that it was during the great depression, a time of economic crisis. No doubt a flaw in the system, but still better than any system you have to propose. Now go find some more statistics to manipulate for me

Life's too short for me to waste any more of mine responding to you. As you clearly are either not reading or failing to understand what I'm writing this is how it's going to work. I'm going to advise you again to watch the Joneses, while hoping that Canadians have a better grasp of satire than irony, and you can respond with an internet insult of your choice. Though I'd like to point out beforehand that I am straight and I'm not retarded.
If you are into consumerism commentary and sarcasm, have a look at channel "StillUsing". We're looking for other users who, instead of buying the latest technology, are happy to keep using older ones, for the lousy reason that they still work. We're hoping for some real finds: typewriter, tape recorder, etc.

We're into fighting consumerism. We're also making fun of it with our "still using" channel. Pretending that using outdated technology is like drug use that needs to be cured. Because that's the message we get from ads and media. Gotta have the latest iPad, iPhone, etc. We're hoping that other youtubers will come and share their usage of "outdated" technology...
