"Till Debt do us Part" and "Princess": Everything thats wrong with our society Urza Send a noteboard - 07/03/2011 04:22:19 AM
Has anyone seen these shows?

About married couples and young women respectively who are in a great deal of debt and continue spending far more than they earn.

They are quite addictive shows and Gail Vaz-Oxlade is great fun to watch trying to hammer some sense into these people, but god its depressing.

We seem to live in a society so full of people with insane entitlement issues and no real sense of their actual worth or ability.

How do people end up so out of wack with reality?

How do we as a society stamp this shit out?
