Kettle Kitchen Timer

Why are Americans so materialistic?

If you step into an American home you will see loads of furniture, ornaments, lamps and pictures.

The kitchens are full of many unnecessary nick knacks blenders, toasters, egg timers, kettles etc.

Bathrooms are huge with many items like nice soap dishes, back scrubbers, nice mirrors etc

Bedrooms will have 2 or 3 lamps, a couch chair with a foot rest, huge shelves filled with books.

Plus homes will have 2 or more TVs, computers, telephones etc.

Why so much emphasis on things we don't need?

Gee - sorry I can't stand bare empty walls and floors, and I can't help that my kitchen has very limited cabinet space so I HAVE to leave some of my cooking utensils out - I prepare ALL my families meals, and I USE everything I have almost daily. I also am a avid READER - it is not comfortable to do so in BED, and I don't read without the proper LIGHTING.

One TV is for kids and games, the other is for everyone. Games RUIN T.V's, so..... two computers for the same reason - we have kids. We all have our OWN phones - again, we have kids to keep track of.

SO, THESE ARE NO UNNECESSARY "KNICK KNACKS", and excuse me that I take pride in hanging my personal paintings on my walls, and have a few signed lithographs - I happen to believe art work is an investment

EMPHASIS is one BEING COMFORTABLE, and what WE need obviously is a matter of opinion. Obviously I do NOT agree with yours at all.
