Decadence: When the biggest of your concerns is that you don't want to get up from the couch to go grab the bag of skittles just a little out of your reach.

This looks suspiciously like a stealth complaining thread.

Neither of the examples so far is decadent. The first is self-absorbed or egoistic, the second is lazy or slothful.

Decadence is "the state or process of becoming decadent". Decadent is "1. marked by decay or decline; 2. of, relating to, or having the characteristics of the decadents ("one of a group of late 19th century French and English writers tending toward artificial and unconventional subjects and subtilized style") 3. characterized by or appealing to self-indulgence <decadent pleasures> "

Awww, man, Maddie! I wanted to be the one to slip in the "Self indulgence" definition.

Decadence: Staring at a homeless man begging for food money, and chowing down on a double whopper in front of him, as he watches with tears in his eyes. Even though you could help him.

*shrug* I just wanted to make a "let's facepalm at this bit of news" thread.

I don't really see how it differs from the thread of people facepalming at Justin Bieber at Anne Frank's house.

decadence: decay of the mind and heart. : increasing apathy towards most things.

so much to do, and yet... here, it feels like one cannot do anything but lie here and sleep forever.

Yeaah, then I can move to America and get involved in the drug business and become rich selling cocaine and then get a house and a tiger and then feel remorse for my actions and then die fighting a bunch of mob dudes while telling them to say hello to a friend of mine! :D
