Nothing personal man, I am just wondering. They are a bunch of people ragging on the guys trying to get the bus signs against DS and VC. Doesn't make sense IMO.

What is a "cause"; to me that is very subjective. IMO it is something that matters to you. All those things I mentioned, plus donating to my religious center, Salvation Army, etc. are "causes" for me. And if you want to say buying a beer company is a "cause", I can easily just say it is an "investment" for me. Just like buying a video game is an investment for my future utility.

I just feel everyone thinks we need to be high and holy when it comes to these subjectively defined "causes", yet is socially acceptable to "waste money" towards goods(money towards games/booze/etc can be used for donating to the poor, for example).

In the end people just spend money on what satisfies their utility. You and I donate to charities because we think it is the right thing to do, makes us feel better, etc. All those things are done because we are satisfying our desires/utility.

Nothing personal again, maybe it came out wrong. Sorry about that.
