Why the Hate?
You may have heard about this, I don’t know, but some entrepreneur just bought the private plate ‘F1′ in an auction, for £440,000.
Incredible enough, the guy is minted, and buys nice things. But some people aren’t happy with that. Oh no. As you can see from some of the comments here, there seems to be some mentality of hating success in this country. Well, hating success, or just uncontrollable jealousy. Why people think it is wrong to spend such amounts of money on completely discretionary things I don’t know, what’s even worse is, for whatever reason, they seem to think it appropriate to demand justification for his actions. Amazing. It sickens me it really does.
The guy is buying this plate to put on his £320,000 hyper car, and as far as I’m concerned, he can do so for whatever reason he likes. He might think it’s an investment, which I guess it is, or he might think he’ll look cool driving around with that plate on his car. And he definitely will, though you’ll be hard pushed to find anyone to admit it…
Hell, he may just be doing it so he can say “he did it” (sound familiar?) even so, I really don’t mind, more power to him. The man earned his money through hard work and intelligence (not that I have a problem with people who inherit amazing amounts of money, they don’t even have to work for it, lucky bastards) and he can spend what is his, however the hell he wants. I’m not going to lay any laws down about the freakin’ morality of spending all this money on ’stuff’ when there are people starving around the world. Who gives a flying rat’s ass about them?? His money, his rules. And I’ll defend him to the death. In fact, I’ll defend him until I have that much money to drop on a flamboyant number plate myself, because then I’ll have to divert my defensive skills some what.
