    Yes.. that would be a big ole 10! So?

    There's nothing wrong with being materialistic. It's healthy to want to possess material things. It's what drives our economy and raises our standard of living. face it, this country has only been here for just over 200 years and we have the best standard of living on the entire planet -- hell, even our poor people have color TVs, microwaves and cars. Never feel guilty about having nice things and living well. We earned it, we work hard for it and NOBODY handed it to us.

    I wouldn't know, because I don't have any other country to compare it to.

    I think everyone's materialistic to some extent, the country doesn't really make a difference.
