This is one of those big 'IF' things...
Imagine the world has moved on and we are globally governed. In a bazaar attempted to control greed the government have declared certain items as luxuries:
1 - Owning a car/motorbike or any other motor vehicle.
2 – Television & Music (including films, dvd, video)
3 - Internet access (which now prohibits the screening or downloading of films, videos, music etc)
4 - Telephones - landlines and mobiles.
Our new laws state we may have no more than two luxuries. To comply with the new law, which two would you choose to loose and why?
I'd ditch the car! I hate driving! I'd also ditch my phone as it's just annoying! But... could I get online with no phone lines? Would the new government offer a wireless alternative?

The phone lines would be there – just the handsets would be prohibited ‘if’ it was not one of your declared ‘luxuries’.
I'd ditch the car......i gather they would be providing a better cheaper transport service for this sacrifice.
And i could live without a phone/mobile .....just revert back to the good old fashion letter writing.....or just use internet to communicate.
Easy! Get rid of the car and the phone!
I would keep...
Television & Music (including films, dvd, video) - I would find it tough to live without music.
Internet access - I can still learn boring facts and keep in touch with people.
Oooh, tough one, PL.
I think I would have to keep the car as friends and family are so spread out.
I would need to have at least one of either the phone or the internet, in order to keep in touch and arrange meets etc.
I wouldn't miss the television at all (there's seldom anything worth watching, anyway), but life without music? That's a dreadful thought. :shock:
Can I keep my musical instruments? If not, can I add CDs to my luxury (don't care about the TV and not too bothered by DVDs) in exchange for selling a twin? lol
I might have spotted one loophole. You don't say whether this is per person or per household. Perhaps I can have the car and the internet and Sappho can have the TV/DVDs/CDs etc. and the phone. :smug:

Your partner may choose different luxuries....
But would then have to live in a separate accommodation pod (to avoid you breaking the law by sharing their chosen luxuries) wink
I wouls chose to join the heroic freedom fighters who would save the world from this totalitarian regime. We would expose this as a plot masterminded by big business and fight for justice at great personal risk.
pl, i'd really love to know how your thought processes work!!!! what on earth made you come up with a post like this?!?!?! biggrin lol

my car has a phone in it...does that count as 2 :confused2:
The car and phone would go without a doubt! I couldn't live without music playing at some stage during the day and I could chat with my mates online instead of using the phone. PLUS those annoying cold calling bastards couldn't ring me anymore! Sorted !!!! :thumbup:
Easy biggrin
The TV and the phones would go.
The bike and the internet.......................one for the daytime, one for the more do I need :D

Conversion :twisted:
innocent
since i don't drive anyway and slave on public transports you just saved me a couple of grand learning and buying a car... thanks!!!!
if i can still speak to people using messenger... then the phone can go as well......
i could live without the tv.... but couldn't live without a radio strangely....
I'll keep the car and the internet.
Car for Timmy to drive me to socials/meets/hotels etc. and t'internet to organise them lol :lol:

Keep the internet and a car. Couldn't work or do much without my car and I can manage without telly and 'phone.
Why have Telly and Music got ot be wrapped up together. I could ditch the telly but not the music.
I guess it'd have to be the car and the phone... but on the other hand......
I'd ditch the TV and the phone because I hardly watch TV and as most people have the internet I could keep in touch that way (plus there's always ;) )

Car!!!
I would keep 2 & 3 . With a good public transport system who needs a car. With the Internet & instant messenger who needs a phone.
Communication and entertainment.
If I have to loose another I will keep the Internet and make my own entertainment.
I'd keep the TV and the internet.
Owning a motor vehicle is already luxury and we'd still have public transport buses and trains, and with the internet I can contact most people via email to catch up with them and we still have letter writing biggrin
I tend to shop locally, my hairdressers is fairly local and so I can book things fairly easily by dropping into the local shopping area.

I'm with the majority by choosing to lose cars and phones. I can use buses/trains etc, but I couldn't live without music. I hate mobile phones and you can get a microphone and a pair of headphones to converse over the internet anyway!
This way would put an end to me being everyone's bloody chauffer, too! lol
I'd ditch the car and television.
Would be a hard decision as I love music but can always sing badly to keep myself entertained. I rarely ever watch Television so wouldn't even miss it. Might miss the dvd though... As for the car, well, I only use it a few times a week as I walk most places and use public transport.
I'd keep the net as it's always a possible business solution if I needed to make some cash to survive and ditto the phone line as I could not go without communication.
