Why SW is a drug

Post by Tychu »

this thought came to me when i realized i had no money after buying a SW figure of Sasae Tin.

SW is a drug, its a drug that dosent hurt you physiclly but hurts you financially. I find it hard for me to get money and not buy the latest SW comic book, figure, or book. The only thing i can hold back with is the busts and other statues, maby cause i never bought one though.

tell me if you think SW is a drug or not.

For me, it's only a frug if it comes in a pill, or in the shape of a white powder in plastic bag. If it isn't, it's just plain addictive.

It can be a hobby, But to date I've only set roughly 200$ in Fifteen years on SW stuff so its not a realy expensive hobby

Well it depends on whats your special interest about SW.
I for one am a big fan of the ships in general and imp ships in paticular, and apart from the micro machines ships, the die cast models (the SD with the small Corvette is so cool) and the ICS there's not much for me to collect, that's why I haven't yet spend much.
On the other hand if you're a Jedi/Sith geek like a friend o' mine, you can buy tons of stuff and you still don't have everything you'd like to.
If you want to buy absolutely everything SW you'll have to be Bill Gates.

I don't consider it addictive. I buy items when I have the money and I don't feel guilty about not having enough to buy a particular item or whatever.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

All I have to say is that Star Wars should be used for good, not evil.
The most basic assumption about the world is that it does not contradict itself.
