Opinions are like belly buttons. Everyone has one, but some are more appealing than others.

"It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds."

-Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State



John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880

"There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things....

The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

Not trying to flame anyone...I just think it was an odd post and people are responding to it and it isn't about upgrading, really.

Wanting to upgrade - totally fine with me.  I'd LOVE a 4 carat asscher.  But it doesn't seem like that is what this post was about. 

Just seemed like a strange post...kind of bragging about the size/clarity/color of her current ering but then saying it was too small.  Talking about being spoiled and that it was the FI's fault.  Just seemed disingenuous or something...and it was odd to equate how much FI loves you with the size of the rock.

She talked of wanting to be satisfied, but comparing her diamond with others. 

And the point about the fact that a three carat asscher isn't going to be a big rock...well that is true.

Littlelysser, what are we mind twins? That's the exact thing I got from this post (and other posts in the past too)

I personally don't think the size of the rock has anything to do with showing how much he cares. I think it shows how much he's willing (or is able) to let fly out of his wallet.
