Correction, that is THREE internet connections.

I'm so confused, why am I the bad guy for not wanting my family to waste money on things simply because most of their purchases are emotionally driven? Is it wrong for me to look out for others? I try my best to help others by telling them not to do stupid ******, much like a parent but I get scoldid for it, it's really confusing.. Sure I'm not the parent, but does that mean I should be a self centered, money grubbing, wasteful little shitbag that people on this forum are so quick to call me?

And to the person who said amexs', huh? Basically every kid that went to college got their own credit card with apparently no spending limit (that I know of). They basically didn't get their own cars because they live back east and can't drive, only one can drive (excluding my self) and the one who can drive, got her own volvo at the end of her senior year, which she drives 1 month out of the year (when she comes home).

I see how these kids are all a bunch of little JAPS and I don't want them having this attiude that they can just waste my dad's money just because he has it (I fscking hate this mentality, of anyone who could relate, it should be atot).

you're the bad guy because you come to atot and bitch about it. wtf do we care? we can't do anything about it.

plus you complain about the dumbest things. itunes and your mom, this with your family's net connections, keyboard risers, your dad not wanting to buy a german car.

Haha. Keyboard risers? It was a question and you ****** a brick over nothing... I asked, what are they for, I didn't say they were stupid, I simply asked, what are keyboard risers for, are they for people with long fingers? By the looks of things, it's for people who have the chair at a lower position than the desk/platform from where you're typing. I have to say, I'm extremely impressed by your ability to blow things completely out of proportion. If you were in a photocopier, you'd be the rasterbator function.

damn dude...you should be frustrated. 3 internet connections? my parents are uptight with even paying for 1 cable connection...

and they just blow you off for trying to help them? well...if it was me, i would try and do everything i can to persuade them to stop paying for unneccesary connections, but in your case, they just wont listen to you.

so just leave them be and let them waste their money. eventually, they'll realize what idiots they are (no offense) for paying 3x as much for internet as they should be.
