Am I alone in this? It seems so ghetto and wine in a box klazzy.
I want to do it..but I just can't. I am planning on going tomorrow to get new books and I think I might be bold and rent something...
maybe.

Is it Ghetto to rent DVDs from the Public Library? |
Lead | |
|
I go to the library about once every 2 weeks and I always see tons of people browsing the DVD section, taking them out. It's free and they have all the
new releases plus tons of great indies and really lots of great movies but I can't bring myself to take one out.

No, don't.
Keep your dignity and just don't. |

It's Ghetto to steal them. Renting is so suburban.

we've done it - they have all sorts of stuff that they don't have at regular rental places

Renting a Video from the Library is Ghetto completely. Someone who does that just needs to be put down immediately but a DVD? It's just so tempting.

If they're free, I don't think the word "renting" applies.

I get ALL my stuff at the library....music too.
I just copied a Pixies and Dwight Yoakam CD. I got Penn & Tellers Bullshit series...not sure if you can get that at Netflix. I got the Night gallery series too. Ever notice how Rod Serling has a gap in his front teeth? |

If you're watching them on a seven inch screen in a box over a heating grate in front of the library it's ghetto.
Other'n that I'm cool. |

It's probably not as ghetto as stealing them from the library.

and I get a lot of books at the library too - I'm not gonna spend a fortune on a hardbound book or wait until I can get it in paperback, when I can go to
the library and check it out for free

Peepee is right. You are borrowing and not renting.
I'm confused why the fuck you'd ask this though. don't you have a mind of your own? Can't you make the decision and do what you want? Are you seriously not borrowing movies because you are afraid of what someone will think? i personally think borrowing books at the library is just the grossest thing ever. The GERMS and shit. Ick. |

This is NH. All of the DVDs at our library were transferred to microfiche.

Yeah...aside from movies, they have everything and anything HBO and a lot of BBC which is nice. Honestly, it was embarassing the idea of 'renting' the
vids but the comment about living below my means being hella smart really is true so I'm going to be a rebel and go for it tomorrow.
As for the CD's...I already rent tons of those, copy and return. They have lots of current stuff and it would be stupid not to. |
