That's true. But using up all of your money for yourself isn't being a 'contributing' member of the society either. And you can still eat the fruits of your labour while sharing with others. If you have a garden and someone takes a few apples, it won't affect you much. But it could mean the difference between life and death to some poor, hungry fella. As for those depending their lives on welfare fund, I don't like that kind of behaviour. We have those kind of people a lot here. I never give anything to them. Unless, of course, I can verify that they really are needy (its easy to do, really). Also, its not like you aren't allowed to use your money. Just that you should use it responsibly and not waste it over a little thing while you could have used it in a better way, which might be by helping others. Giving the example of a mobile phone again, you know that your friend needs a new mobile but can't afford a good one. You also want a new mobile. Instead of buying an X6 (32GB), you can buy two X6 (8GB) and give one to him. You only had to let go of some memory in your phone but your friend got a lot better than he would have if you didn't give it to him. (I would have mentioned the diminishing marginal utility of money here but that would make things a bit confusing).

Hahahaha. Nice additions. But now it will be very hard to place people in the back.Maybe we should attach the a psd with all the additions so that people can easily put things behind the bubbles and people... Hmmm...na, lets keep going this way.

It will make things hard. Now, that is a good twist. But now we need to make the environment more...SAW-ish. You know, more grey and blood. But I guess WD won't like that.

Actually, the things you mentioned are necessities for their social status. In the same way, my father uses a Toyota Prado all the time since that makes a better impression among the clients. But during a new project, he had to travel to another city quite a lot. And there were no clients to impress. So he used a Suzuki Cultus (local car) instead to save on fuel costs. The same vehicle was a necessity at one time and a luxury at another. And he gave that up to save money. And he didn't get any of the saved money for personal use.

Dude...that is the traditional scam letter type. Even the words are the same. Don't trust it. If you know her well, she might b playing with you. If you don't know her well, its time to find another friend.

Over and above what is 'required' to live your life. And bread and water are not the only things. You need a home, transport, social life, education, communication and many other things like that. You can live in a small house or in a mansion. The small house is a requirement and the mansion is a luxury. You can travel via public transport or have a car, depends on your needs. A small car is a requirement and a 'luxury' car is a luxury. (They even name them luxury cars). You have to meet people. You can do it at each other's home or a restaurant or go to a five star hotel with double expense per head. Get the idea now?

Hahaha! Neat. Try adding more people in the back first. It will be easier to fill up the seats in the front then. Added Mario and Barbie.

Dude, just consider it in the general sense: the extra expense above and over the required one. That is very generous of you. I wish more people did that. However, there is a problem too. Especially in my country, people don't beg out of necessity. Its their 'job'. And, sadly, they collect more money this way than they would if they worked as labour, etc. Almost 70% population is illiterate here. I am among the lucky ones, thanks to God.

Hahahahahaha! Nice one. I thought of adding Mario and his Bros. but then I read that I can't edit my photos in the rules.

Here is another photoshop tennis entry. In this one you have to add the students in the class room. Also spice up the environment a bit. P.S. This was my university's classroom. And thats my bag to the right! The thing on the table is the pouch of my camera.

Hahaha. Yeah. And the image is so small. Its hard to add things in the background. Lets start a #5 then!

Thank you, thank you. Exactly, the fun of photoshop tennis is the unusual stuff people add in the pictures.

With that kind of speed, you can easily use internet based file hosting services. If you want more privacy and better syncing, use an FTP server.You can also use a service like DropBox: https://www.dropbox.com/ Its free for a space of 2GB. More on pricing: https://www.dropbox.com/pro/ They have a multi-platform software to ease the uploading and downloading. Its works very much like a hard-disk connected to your computer. Just that its online.You can find many similar services if you don't like this one.

Added the much needed blood.I think she used the ball to kill someone.

Added wall art and two skyline silos.

Oh, boy. That is one neat copied software. :PEven the background is the same.Whenever someone makes something (be it a picture, software, game, etc.), it is supposed to be automatically have copyrights with that creator only. And they continue till 15 years of the death of that creator; unless, bought by someone else. (At least, that is how I understood it).Apple is being very unfair here.

Aw...thats a pity. Oh, well... I once used to have a Twitter account. But I never posted anything there. I never post anything to my blog either. Not many people are interested in other's life. So, why waste the time. I hope you find something that would interest your readers. Nice background, btw. Reminded me of the first time I started my Macbook.

I don't endorse personal attacks but Harlot, you have to understand that people talk in different ways, especially since the Internet supports a wide cultural and geological spectrum.Anwii did make a valid point in saying that your idea of basic necessities is unrealistic. What you said meant more like giving up most of your life rather than only luxuries.

Leaving everything else behind, you do have to earn money to support yourself and your family.With that said, you can choose how to earn the money: by doing a job or by opening a business.If you want to do a job, you have to study and be better than the other interviewee.If you want to start a business, you have to have leadership skills, innovation and capital and/or partners.If you have what it takes to start a business, you can own that big company in the upcoming years.If you have education, you can work in that big company.If you have neither, money-making will be hard.

Why not use Ash-Bash?You are using it here. You can even use your current avatar as your profile picture.

Glad you understood. As for having different perspectives, I understand that as well.

That is not true, in my opinion. In today's world, especially in business and offices, cell-phones, laptops, cars, air travel, etc. are all necessitates. I can't even reach my university if I didn't have a car (public transport isn't that good here). But whether I use a Corolla or a Mercedes makes a difference (as I gave the example above). Also, I need a cell-phone. So does my father. Whether we buy a Nokia N97 or a Nokia 5230 makes a difference. They are almost similar in terms of functionality but there is a huge price difference. So, if we buy a Nokia 5230 instead of a Nokia N97, we are limiting our luxury and still fulfilling our need. That is true. Somethings can't be changed in the everyone. But that is not what matters. The thing that matters is what we do to bring about the change. Here is a fairy tale: Once there was a huge fire in a village. The people abandoned the place and went for safety. A sparrow was seen bringing drops of water to extinguish the fire. A guy asked it what it was doing, the fire won't be affected by those drops. The sparrow said that at least it can say it tried. And even if you can't change those you don't have control over, you can change one person: yourself. I really liked what anwii said. I wish more people think that way.

Thank you, anwii. So, basically, you mean that if the luxury doesn't cost much then there is no need to restrict it. But if it helps others, then do restrict it. I had a pretty similar thought in mind.

Hey, you noticed that too! I have totally abandoned Flash. It isn't fascinating anymore. Especially since the invention of AS3. It made the designer and programmer areas separate, which is good for serious production but not for playing around. I think Fireworks and Flash were better with Macromedia. Dreamweaver has certainly improved since moving over to Adobe.
