Could someone please explain to me the morality or immorality of an SUV, a big house, and/or a big yard? And while they're at it, could they explain why everyone who lives in the city seems to think that everyone who lives in the suburbs drives an SUV, lives in a huge house with a huge yard? "The suburbs" includes a lot of territory.

So let's say someone owns a Lincoln Navigator and a Range Rover, has a six bedroom house, and a forest of a backyard...yet...they give to charities, go to church daily, make an honest living, are faithful in their relationship, and have a general good hearterd, humble, well mannered personality. Are their morals still backwards?

Because it's polluting, superficial, materialistic attitudes that are leading America into deep ****.

If they are driving a Navigator living in a 6 bedroom house, but giving to charities they have semi-backward morals. They're halfway there. Sure, they're donating, but they obviously don't care for the surroundings and such.

And nowadays people like that are one in a million.

You're right. I wasn't trying to suggest anything, I just wanted your opinion. Except I own an SUV, so I guess I'm going to hell.

So I take it that you don't like the fact that your wife wanted a SUV?

I'm only 17, it's my parents truck. I don't ride in it unless we have company and it makes it easier to get around.
