Living with low expectations?

[Kramodlog]

Actually an uncut unkempt yard does have an impact on my life if it brings down property values and makes me lose money selling my home or makes it hard to sell my home.

Doesn't matter. You're affecting someone else.

Meh, superficial people aren't my problem.

Sometimes, the reason seems arbitrary to us. But that doesn't mean the norm doesn't (or didn't) serve some very good purpose.

So?

That is certainly how the extreme of this could work. The other extreme is the person who believes personal freedom trumps everything else and uses it as an excuse to be a inconsiderate jerk who does not grasp the concept that their rights end where someone else start.

Oh no, personal freedom doesn't trump everything. That is ridiculus. I'm just ok with limiting government intervention when it comes to legislating looks and appearances.

Some people are just trashy.

Folks, can we cut the politics, please? Thanks.

So?

So, your assertion that social norms are arbitrary isn't, in my opinion, correct; not in the absolute sense it was stated, nor even as a broad generalization. That's all.

I'm sure you'd be saying the same thing if someone else caused the value of your condo to drop below what you paid for it. Considering that you actually view your condo purchase as an investment, I'm sure you would be exhilarated that your investment is no longer worth much.

Not much of a defense of your position.

Have comes to terms with my positions to avoid being an hypocrite.
