My response is... no you fucking don't. I don't have one. I can't even afford one. It's possible to live without one.
Driving a car just makes life a hell of a lot easier to get by. And if you actually love eating meat: so does eating meat. Eating meat helps me get through the fucking day: And without bacon I'd probably kill myself!
Okay I'm exaggerating a LITTLE bit but yeah I think the analogy stands, because both driving cars and eating meat are things people want to do and things that make a person's life easier... they aren't things you have to do.
Hell, there's no such thing as anything you HAVE to do (besides what you're already in the process of being motivated to do. Although you may stop being motivated if you stop being motivated)... you can starve yourself to death if you want to.
So yeah.
There is no exaggerating when it comes to bacon.
And I understand. I went a long time without a car as well. Couldn't afford one. I had my father and GF drive me around (until we bought one together) when absolutely necessary.
But I wasn't against owning a car out of ethical principles and THEN asked for people to drive me around whenever the slightest inconvenience came my way. If she'd just say she couldn't afford one or that living in the center of the city having one is too unpractical: that would be fine. But she sometimes talks as if not having one is superior to having one, yet still makes use of one whenever it suits her needs.
Sorry if it seems like I'm talking 'next' to you. It just feels good to rant.
