I'm one of those a**holes. I have about 100 domains, and some I put up for auction (just in case somebody wants to give me money for them). The bulk of them, however, are for various ideas I may want to implement over the rest of my life. I think of them as an insurance policy to be sure I'll have a domain if I ever follow through with my ideas.
There is also a domain being sold for nearly $10,000 that I really want. I suspect it'll be sold by the time I can afford it (years from now), but I'm hopeful it will lower in price eventually.
It's a shame that so many domains are unused, but though they are virtual they are still of value, and anything of value will be accumulated and sold. In the case of the domain I want, I consider myself lucky that it is even an option to buy it.

No you're not.
Based on what you wrote, I'd say you are worried. Although part of this state in my opinion is rooted the real problem of possibility of lack of the right name when you need it, but since you aren't faced with the problem right now, this mindset I believe is nervousness.
I too suffer from it. Nervousness, if not fought with, might extend to other areas of life too.

Luckily they have pills for that.

Oh yes he is, he is happily sitting on a bunch of names hoping someone will offer a reasonably price for them. While I believe in capitalism I would find it irritating if I wanted a domain with a squatter on it!
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

So, the money they earn is not added to the system, so they are stealing money from others.
And so if you are interested, let's discuss it!

Naturally that statement isn't true. If you pay them for it I am rather certain that it will in some way be used in the economy.

I'm not sure, even if it does, its' harm is far more than its' "use" in my opinion.
