the preoccupation with possessions, and caring more about things instead of people and what's more important in life. Materialsim distracts people from what's really important in life. Therefore, the pursuit of materialism is an empty, wasted life because those things are inanimate objects that dont comfort you or talk to you; they are just as mortal as we.
Materialism is a form of greed that distracts people from what's really important in life, and can make a person very lonely and unhappy.

The largest city in New Jersey (280,000). A city of grime and grit, just 10 miles outside New York City in northern New Jersey. It is the headquarters to a number of banks, insurance companies and pharmaceutical corporations.
Newark, despite having numerous corporate headquarters to large companies, has much potyential but is a city of grime and grit instead.

An absolute waste of time. The early stages of a inevitiblly-doomed relationship where two insecure people waste their time by puting on a fake act for the intent of impressing someone you don't like very much or not compatible with. It often ends in an ugly manner when you meet someone else you like better.
I don't do it because I don't like the headache it causes. I just want to meet a girl and court her until we are married. Dating is an absolute waste of time for me.

What I don't do or ever will because women can't stand my presence. A complete waste of time for someone actually wanting to get in a serious relationship with someone. Nothing but an act between two fake people trying to put their best foot forward and impress each other so they can potentially jump each other's bones. In Western culture dating is a precursor to marriage but, ironically, will do no more for you in getting to know a person than watching a sport on tv will make you a professional ballplayer. It's also an incredible waste of time because getting together for a romantic rondezvous or outing will do next to nothing in making you connect emotionally or spiritually.
Dating is a new phenomenon and didn't come around until the mid to late 20th century. Before the era of dating, a couple would often "court" each other or marriages were even prearranged. If one is religious, especially with someone who practices Christianity, dating is NOT Biblical because not only does dating usually result in heartache when the two persons involved go their seperate ways, but there is no comitment between the two parties. It was never practiced for cultural reasons. For Christians, dating is not Biblical because God himself does not want people to experience the emptiness and heartache it often brings. For the secular world, however, dating is as normal as taking a nap.
Dating CAN lead to marriage but usually doesn't, unlike courting.

Dating is pointless in my opinion. It usually doesn't work and is a futile effort in actually getting to know someone on an emotional or spiritual level. Dating is stupid!

1. A district in the middle of the city of Los Angeles, California whos icons include the Hollywood sign, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Graumann's Chinese Theater and the Kodak Theater. The neighborhood is currently under gentrification.
2. A coloquile term used to identify any famous personality wheather possesing talent or not.
3. A far-left, socialist, immoral, arrogant, self-rightous, antiamerican, activist, cesspool culture composed of ignorant, irrational, mindless degenerates, addicts and neanderthals that make their living glorifying debauchery, sex, violence and vulgarity while despising religion, morality, family values and basically anything considered decent by most people. Most of its rich and elite can be frequently seen in rehab.

Hollywood is the epitome of debauchery and corruption in America and partially responsible for America's moral decay. Hollywood is probably the reason most of the world hates us.

One of the funniest and most clever 1990s sitcoms airing on ABC. The show centered around the stand up acts of comedian, Tim Allen. His character, Tim Taylor hosts a Detroit cable tool show called Tool Time. He is very masculine and interested in all aspects of the male mind: he is always building a hotrod in the garage, is sexist, HATES the opera, grunts, loves tools, loves sports and loves building things. He is however blessed with ineptitude. His ineptitude includes anything from glueing his head to a table to falling through a roof or a portapotty to dropping a two-ton beam on his wife's car. Home Improvement had a cleverly-written script and writers. It won a number of Emmys.
Home Improvment was a great show. Gags from the show:
1. the neighbor, Wilson's face NEVER being seen
2. everybody screws up Wilson's advice.
3. Tim's wife Jill cant cook.
4. Tim is always building a hotrod in the garage.
5. Tim's cohost, Al has an obsession with flannel.
6. Tim is always making fun of Al, his mother-in-law and basically anything he doesnt understand
7. Wilson's amazing knowledge of culture and history.

The act of binging your own company into the ground, and then asking the government for a bailout, and then using the bailout money to give yourself a big fat bonus.
Almost a synonym for Enroned.
