That was the first laugh of the day. 10k sent your way. Thank you.

And to answer you: My name is older, those nonsense rules do not apply. Feel free to write it out completely, but the gods help you if you misspell it. Funny things will happen to your account......

First, nobody was calling anybody here a sociopath. I didn't think I would have to defend my use of the word sociopath since it had a qualifier in front of it; I said there are "some" people who fit the clinical description of that term AND have careers that put them in contact with weapons. There's sociopaths who work as day traders (I think I've met some) or work at McDonald's. Am I to believe that everyone who is in the military and police forces of the world are psychologically healthy individuals? No. But are most? Yes. Sure. I'll buy that.

And Mingus, thanks for trying to shed some meaning as to my statement's point, regardless of your feelings on my stance. I appreciate that.

I can't patrol the board every five minutes so that I and my viewpoints don't become misconstrued nor do I want to do that. I already have a day job.

Sfa, you really think rocks are equivalent to guns? Well, okay! Fine then. Rocks are guns. And since earlier in this post pencils somehow made the cut as something designed to kill like a gun, let's just add that to mix too. Okay. Okay. Okay. Rock quals gun and gun equals pencil. If gun equals rock, does rock still beat scissors? And I want to know desperately if pencil can take paper which used to take down rock. But I think rock will just shoot its way out of paper.

Viper, you're relatively new here so I'm going to explain my position on luxury and why I won't be buying "the basics," which is not everyone else's reason. I deal with the business of luxury on a day-to-day basis and really enjoy inundating myself in it whenever possible, the industry as whole being so exciting to me. That's why I will never own a five dollar watch or clothes from Wal-Mart. But along with my love of luxury and sybaritic excess, I also have a very pragmatic side that stems, ironically enough, from my knowing the business behind luxury. And it's for this reason I write about replicas and getting the most for your dollar on things that--come close to the screen for this epiphany--really don't matter in the grand scheme of things. That's right, none of this sh*t matters. If a person wants to spend $50,000 on a watch or a coat or a car, I wouldn't stop them. My job depends on these jack offs buying expensive things. But for those who want that same look and almost all of that same quality, so they can save their money for hard economic times like we're experiencing now without really sacrificing anything from their lifestyle overall, I'm there. I don't believe in more of the same. I believe in change. And I think I just lapsed into Barack Obama's campaign theme.

I am all about having beautiful things in beautiful settings with beautiful people all around me but not at any cost. I will squeeze a nickel until my fist bleeds. I suggest others do the same. I'm a big proponent of this doctrine: before you spend your money, know WHY and on WHAT you're spending your money.

Thank you, Swiss, for pointing out the one time I spelled His name. I was alluding to the Scarlett O'Hara movie quote but I didn't think I would have to explain or defend that either.

To "Teh Posh Watchers," I'm not running for president so the dissection of everything I say and do REALLY will not better the country as whole. Gun control, however, might.
