    I refuse to buy into the iPhone craze...it is sickening to me that people will camp out for days and pay hundreds of dollars for an object that they'll feel the need to replace when a newer, supposedly better version of it comes out a few months later. Yet, ask people to camp out days and spend hundreds of dollars to help someone in need and they'll look at you like you are stupid. People talk about Apple products as if they were forged by God himself. Being materialistic and feeling the need to buy into the latest fads is part of the problem with humanity today.
