TO ALL INFURIATED WITH THE MY PREVIOUS EMAIL!!!!!!!
IT WAS AN EXAMPLE MEANT TO SUPPORT AN OBSERVATION/OPINION. THE
MONETARY VALUE ASSIGNED TO MY EXAMPLE IS IRRELEVANT.
I could have said a one dollar pair of prescription glasses compared
to a million dollar pair of glasses and the end result would still
have been the same. You get my point eh?
I cant believe the amount of pissed off emails to deluge my In box.
And yes i do have prescription glasses for when i am on the
computer, and they cost me 50 bucks after my Health Insurance did
its part. I know most Insurance plans or many dont cover glasses
much or at all, but fuck even if i was just way off, or mispoke does
it really garner the strife that flooded my inbox? Its not like the
discussion was about exact pricing of eye wear and prescription wear.
For the more dense on the list i will spell my point out for you...
First, here is Grahams post where he brings up a good point. This
is what i was responding to...
"""can you put a price on your hearing?
if it makes you feel better, look at the astronomical costs of
sunglasses and prescription eyewear...
people seem to have no problem dropping that kind of cash to
protect their eyes... how are ears any different?
g."""
His post struck a chord in me because its a great example of how
vain people can be. Where someone would be willing to part with a
crap load of money to look cool, but arent willing to spend the time
or money to search down some earplugs, which will actually benefit
them by saving their hearing and cost them a fraction of the price
of the uber cool Designer specs.
Are some of you people that dense that you cant follow a
conversation/debate/thread as a whole, but instead fixate on a price
point used as an example(which was totally fictitious)
And why would it invoke such hostility?
Sorry to be so terse but this whole experience has truly blown my
mind. I should add that not all the people that emailed me were
rude. Some were very respectful and were more curious about wether
i actually wore glasses or what not. To those polite people i
apologize for upsetting you in any way, it was never my intention to
do so.
The rest of you crass ignorant trolls should take a deep breath and
re-fucking-lax.
ciao

Eye wear is Aesthetic vanity. An 80 dollar pair of prescription
glasses do the same thing as its 1000 dollar counterpart, as do 10
dollar cheap-ee sun glasses , when compared to the uber expensive *
(insert high fashion eye wear brand of your choice here)* I would
like to think that many of those purchases are fashion based.
Thats the kicker, design some earplugs that can make someone look
cool, or help them accessorize their outfit. Then people will buy
earplugs, of course not to protect their hearing, but to look
cool. The Human race is the best!
