Shopping is better than buying.

[MoreCoffee]

In a world so rife with consumerism and in which the market place of ideas and philosophies is so filled with choices remember this before you buy into anything: Shopping is better than buying!

Window shopping in ideas is also possible.

I have no patience for walking around shopping without a clear idea of what I am shopping for. I don't have the time for that. Not with working two jobs and trying to do regular exercise program

Not many. Fewer than the digits on one hand.

 

[Krissy Cakes]

I hate shopping, never know what I really want and I hate spending hours in stores.

So, four then, not counting the present one. (?)

Is it important for you to know?

Are you shopping or buying?

I look around before I buy. I try to get the best deal..have to with my income.

Shopping for goods and services is one part of living where comparing prices and features offered for the price is wise and prudent too. In philosophy and religion is there a counterpart?

 

[Josiah]

Except for when it comes to very major purchases (car, house for example).... I don't shop, I don't buy. ONE of the many, many perks of marriage is that my wife handles all that. What she does.... how she does it.... I don't know, I don't care. I wear the clothes she buys for me and say "THANK YOU." I look at what she buys for the house, baby, etc. and just say "THANK YOU." Marriage is a good thing.

People church shop all the time. I don't know many who religion shop but I bet there are people out there who do it. It's great to have Christianity where you don't have to work for salvation...who can't resist something that's FREE?

LOTS of people change parishes.... LOTS of people visit parishes before they "settle" on one.... LOTS of people even change denominations (I think MoreCoffee did that).


Now, I think a LOT of people use really bad criteria when doing this, but that's a whole other issue.
