Why do people collect things? \nFrom stamps to bottles or anything else.

Hey Maira! where do you get these ideas frm!!!\n\nI used to collect proverbs, paintings (not those original ones worth millions of dollars).  I collectd them because I like them. And that's my answer to your question!\n\nPeople collect things they like. We have interest in the things we like, and we want to possess as many of them as possible. But that's not always possible for many things because of social/financial/time constraints.\n\nWhen we have a large collection of our collection (!), we are happy to see it, and like to show/share it with others having similar interests.\n\nNow I collect and share love!\n\nVick.

Actually they often do, but people don't use them as such.  I use mine for coins.  \n\nIf yours didn't come with one, perhaps they're trying to tell you something, namely: "please quit smoking.  Our fossil fuel-burning guilt is too much to bear already."

Even though we are on a tight budget, everyone will get a little something. It's just a way of showing the you care in my book.I have already started shopping, mostly mail order, it's so much easier, and sometimes cheaper.

Are you CRAZY?? People look out for others ALL the time everywhere. Wether it is something that seems small, like letting someone buying one or 2 items go before you and your cart full of groceries at the store or, a big thing like helping people that survived Hurricane Katrina by inviting them in your home.\n\n Have you ever heard of food stamps or a free lunch program at school?\n Have you ever heard of Feed the children charity or the Center for Missing and Exploited children?\n  Has anyone offered you help while you were stranded on the road or let you use their celphone after an accident?\n  Have you ever seen or met a teacher, firefighter, social worker, police officer, Marine, a scientist...\n I could go on and on and on and on.\nOf course people worry about themselves but I havn't met ONE person that I know of that was not concerned for the wellbeing of another person. Even the most self-centered people I have met are concerned for, and help others.\n Why are you so pessamistic and only see the bad in people?\nWe all make mistakes but, for the most part, I think, by far, the majority of people make a point of helping others.\nWhat are you doing to help?\n\n\n I could go on and on and.

WHy do you think some people should get a free ride? I earned what I have, no one gave it to me, why should I give it to some one else.\nThat's is one of the big problems in the world. Too many people looking for something for nothing.

My cousin has over a thousand.  His New Year's resolution will be to stop buying them.  So this weeks he's stocking up and buying everything.\n\nI have over 300 as well. My roommate says I don't need them and that it's pointless. But I like having them close by.  If I feel the urge to watch "The Truman Show" or episode 315 of "Friends", I know they're there for me.\nI also like having stuff (Shopaholic!!)

The same reason people trade with one another - each has something that the other wants.

Someone keeps them or they are thrown away. I hope you didn't think that they magically disappear. The same thing applies to the rest of their stuff.

Well I don't really have any favorite things , But I like helping people.\nTry learning about politics , history. My favorite subject! Currently I'm attempting to invent some thing. I'm comming up with a concept on paper. Soon I'll get a patent and such. Funny thing is i'm only fourteen years old , haha. I can't tell you what it is. But it's meant for the United States (army/marines etc) and it's allies. It might save many many lives.\n\nYou said you want to learn , new things. About subjects or just people , like my self? I already said what I was trying to do. But here's a short description about me. I'm a person who cares about the economy , people. the eviroment , government. I hate debt. I live in the United States , we're in debt by huge amounts. I wish I could get rid of that. If I had the chance to run for president. I would to get us out of debt. Put more money in things needed. Instead of the army. I'm a vegetarian!.\n\nIf you want to learn facts. I could tell you so much about American History! about almost everything. Ask some thing and I could probably tell you about it. hehe

Random acts to me consist of knowing someone's needs before they come up and ask you.  Handing out a piece of candy every once in awhile is nice.  Helping people in need of most small favor's is nice too.  Making people laugh usually is a good thing.  But, not everyday, ya got to give it a break once in awhile because you'd find that people do take advantage of those type of situation's, if ya know what I mean...   Dr Checko...   (Nickname)

I almost always throw it out. I also noticed at the post office where I pick up my mail on days when there is bulk mail the 3 garbage bins are filled to the top with it. I wonder who responds to this stuff? Some people must or they would stop sending it out. Junk mail that comes to me via e-mail I delete without even opening it.

♥not me, i pretty much buy the product because of the quality or it's the product i prefer or need at the time.♥\nbtw, in japan many products such as soft drinks come with "free gifts" like mini cd's, cell phone straps.... so occasionally I will buy those products if i really want the free gift, luckily they're usually products i use though. :)

Why would you want to be rid of them?  What law says you can't keep such things?  Don't be so hard on yourself.   It's your life, your memories.. do what you want.

Postal workers regularly open packages to see if there is anything worth stealing.  If you've got something illegal in there, chances are they will find it.
