Party poopers
The Phillies won the World Series last night for only the second time in their history and that’s a really big deal. A lot of people, including myself(!) in Philly are justifiably overjoyed about it. Fans were partying like lunatics in the streets last night and there’s going to be a big parade down Broad Street tomorrow to celebrate. Sadly—and this has happened in the chat room more than a few times during the past few weeks—a few guys just had to take a steaming shit on everyone else’s good time.
MamonoHunterNeo: its funny how much money people spend on sports
MamonoHunterNeo: and the other places it could go
MamonoHunterNeo: construction of stadiums, etc
thezooguy: the homeless
thezooguy: education
thezooguy: better roads
thezooguy: the budget
MamonoHunterNeo: how many hospitals could you build with the same amount of money?
onetom4u: not many
MamonoHunterNeo: okay, well id feel better about there being like seven hospitals in africa instead of the yankees having a new stadium
Sethboy: deja vu didn't we have a similar discussion in here recently? (the whole "spending money vs helping people" discussion)?
thezooguy: possibly but i'ts much better than the one about how great the phillies are cause that one has been run into the ground
Maybe we can take a bit of the money people spend on pop music, video games or weed and build some roads and hospitals with that. People never seem to think their own interests are a waste of time and money, do they?
I’m listening to “First Communion” from Saint Dymphna by Gang Gang Dance.

Hey now... I got caught in that little clip.
For the record, I do not purchase video games, pop music, OR weed.
In fact, I don't spend money on much of anything (besides food) and I was just commenting because it seems we had a similar topic just a few days before.
Err... thanks.

I wasn't referring to you. You didn't say anything stupid.
