Mercedes is a great car. The look! The feel! It’s great! Wait a minute! Is it a sin to move in Mercedes on the same planet where two years old die. How? For even a few pennies saved could make that child live! Hunger? Want of just clean water? My friend said that in her country politicians moved in helicopter even above areas where people were dying of food which is so very incorrect. If it is incorrect how can Mercedes Benz be correct move? I have seen pain - real pain - in the eyes of empty stomach. Do we feel enough?

I see men in my city in BMW / Mercedes passing by sick, hungry, extremely poor, little kids. Yes, I think you are right. But if we spread BMW as sin, maybe many would find food possibilities.

It is not your responsibility to feed or slake the thirst of every person or child in the world. Those who suggest you should feel guilty for enjoying the fruits of your labor have, in most instances, done even less for the poor than you.

@Aakk77 I grew up knowing hunger. Today, I do what I can where I can to assuage others' hunger.

Why would it be a sin? Everyone has a right to buy any type of car that they want.

What if a rich man keeps 1 million dogs and has all the money to feed them and also waste food. Won’t it be a sin? Why should we Not waste food if we can waste the money that buys food?

Why should this be a sin? Should they move in a Jaguar would be different?

@Aakk77 - Those who buy expensive cars are giving work to the poor workers who build them... do not forget this!

Yes! If it is not fulfilling any essential requirement. Life is a struggle for many it shouldn’t be thus an extreme comfort for a few.

@LadyDuck Poor workers are skilled labour who can fit in any other working place. 3 billion people without food = 1000 people jobs This is no equation.

Even in this day and age there is an unfair distribution of wealth. Some people have very little while others can be wasteful. Some of this is down to hard work but most of it is about how lucky a person is.
