Might as well right, they're footing the bill :roll:

It's sad that you have such a terrible outlook on life. It's not wrong to get objects from your parents, and this is the only time in his life when gifts like those will be well-received by both sides.

In summation, remove the stick from your arse.


Of course not, but I don't start a thread bragging about all the free stuff I just got. His attitude is what I was criticizing, try reading a bit harder next time.

Why must everybody be so materialistic? You are just as bad as my girlfriend buying this.

I mean, if you need it, you need it. But I am willing to bet you didn't need that stuff.

Ok when was the last time you got everything I said for free? oh wait you havent.

what a lousy comeback. :roll:

just remember that your parents labored long and hard for the money to pay for your gifts. you better realize that when they get older, they'll be expecting you to take care of them.

Damn people are you always pissed off at something or are you just jelous? I am happy for getting these things and am greatful to my parents for getting me these things, wtf makes you so much better than everyone else? Just because Im not in my late 20s-60s and own my own house or car means I cant be happy?

Get off you fvcking mountain top and join the real world. If you dont have a car or house, get off your ass and do something about it, dont whine about people who are more fortunate.

Oh I should make this clear:


My parents believed I deserved a new car because of my grades in college were so good (and I wont argue with that). It just so happens I dropped my old POS cell phone in a pool at a party during July 4, ok I jumped in the pool and forgot about the cell phone. And I dont plan on this laptop lasting me more than 2 years anyways, it will barly be able to run some games in 2 years at med quality

1. Your own damn fault, why should your parents foot the bill?
2. I'm sure you'll just get your parents to buy a newer, better one :disgust:
3. Learn some damn humility.

your interpretation that getting material things being the best day of your life BEGGED for these responses. you simply asked for it.

"hi, i got all these great expensive things from my parents!!!! yay!!!! it's the best day of my life!!!!"

there are far more things in life to be happy about. you bragged on ATOT and you should not be surprised at the responses you received, especially the sarcastic ones that you took way too seriously

if it's the best day of your life, these comments shouldn't even affect you!

Sex is free and easy to get, cars take money and work.

I wish my parents had that kinda money to drop when I was younger. Congrats on the stuff but I always wonder how the spoiled kids end up later in their lives.
