Liu: Why is it that some people are always buying beyond their means？ I mean, they do not make that much and spend half of their incomes on designer clothes as such.
Burns: My theory is that insecure people need to wear famous brand clothing to feel good.They want people to know that they are good enough to afford the best.
Liu: Well, I don't agree that name brands are just for the insecure. I mean, I like my designerclothes too. I do think designer shoes are more comfortable.Burns: So, you buy designer shoes for comfort？ How about those ridiculous designer sweatersthat have holes in them and shoes that have 25 cm heels？ You surely aren't saying thatthese things are functional.
Liu: I disagree. Most designer and brand-name items are actually not useless. What you seeon the catwalks are just the extremes. What you find in the stores is more functional.
Burns: And not much less expensive！ So don't tell me that you're into designer stuff.
Liu: Like I said, some things are worth spending the money on, like stylish but comfortableshoes. But I wouldn't get designer underwear, for example. I mean, for one pair ofbrand-name underwear, I can buy 10 pairs of sturdy cotton underwear at the marketand just throw them into the wash and not be heartbroken if they change color. But I'dbuy a brand-name washing machine because I believe they work longer.Dialogue 2 why Piracy Exists
Helen: Hey, that's a beautiful bag you've got！ Is it genuine Louis Vuitton？
Wan: No, are you kidding？ I can't afford the real thing. It's a fake that I got at a street marketon the cheap.
Helen: But don't you feel bad supporting pirates？ I mean pirated stuff undercuts companieswhich produce the real thing.
Wan: So should we all drive Ferraris？ There are those who can afford to and those who can't.Those who can't buy a cheaper sports car and paint it Ferrari-red. Pirated stuff is forthose too poor to afford the real thing.
Helen: I think it is illegal.
