Well if you're a moron like goku, you must now yell at your mother and demand to know why she has word documents on her computer. Then you must post a new thread whining about it like a little kid on ATOT. Then when everyone calls you a douche bag and gives you specific reasons why you are one, you must start insulting them instead of refuting their logic.

If I were to see this thread in 5-10 years from now, I'd think that you and all these other losers were simply trying to raise their post count, oh wait, I think that now....hmmm

First of all, raise my post count?? look at my post count and then look at yours.
You must be a LOSER to even think that post counts matter.

Secondly, EVERYONE's telling you that you are an idiot. What makes you think you're the one who's right and everyone else is wrong...

Please shut up and never post again.

I bet my mom does. I guess you wouldn't know what that feels like though, considering yours probably doesn't. Could there be a reason why?

Well, I'm glad we got that out of the way.

iTunes, bonzai buddy, real player, weatherbug, musicmatch, toolbars, comet cursor, quicktime, etc.. They all provide a service, they all do something that would give an incentive for at least SOME USERS to keep the programs running on their computer. So why are they bad? Well it's because they use an insurmountable amount of resources and in most cases collect personal data. They all have this in common, they all disguise themselves as being useful software, they all can bring a decently equipped machine to it's knees, they all have alternate, less 'bloatware like' software alternatives, and I hate them all.

You can respect your parents and still be pissed at what they do. It's not like I call her a bitch and treat her like ******, it's just that it frustrates me when I have to deal with her ******. I also don't need you guys to me 'well they're your parents, they're automatically correct and they have to deal with YOUR ******'. It's the same fscking thing as finding porn on one's computer, they're only offensive if YOU find it offensive, and I find crap like iTunes to be far worse than any 'raunchy' material I could find on ones computer.

'Porn isn't bad!'
Well then, with that attitude, neither is iTunes. I think iTunes and bad software like it are offensive, some people find porn offensive, some people find violence offensive, either way, they're all opinions and in my opinion it's not ok to have crap like that on a computer I HAVE TO DEAL WITH. When things go wrong on her system, guess who gets bitched at? me!

goku is clearly anti-apple for the sheer reason of trying to fit in with the rest of the teenagers who hate everything that is corporate and want only to conform with the nonconformists. ;)

hehe my brother was like that... "fvck starbucks... fvck apple.... screw that trendy corporate crap....".... so, on christmas, i gave him a brand new ipod mini and a starbucks giftcard.... now, he's like "yeah, i was pretty damn gay.... ipod rules and so does starbucks coffee"

iPod is okay. Fvck starbucks, you can get a better cup at friggin' Dennys.

So let me get this straight. You have no idea who I am, you have no idea how old I am, and you have no idea how mature I am. Yet you go and thrash your mom online because she has free-will to use whatever software you want. Furthermore, everybody tells you you are a complete moron and you should respect your mom.

Then, the only counter you have is to call me a kid? Do you have any more imaginative ways to knock down somebody? Or is that your default way of undermining somebody's argument? Do you have any logic in your brain or are you just so completely clueless than you cannot possibly consider the fact that you *COULD* be wrong?

Seriously dude, you need to take a step back and examine how you react to your mom and people on here. The oldest way to undermine somebody's argument online is to call them a kid.

However, I have forgotten more about computers, finance, politics, and logical debate than you will ever hope to grasp with your 3 brain cells.

No wonder why nobody in your family respects you.

EyeMWing, you, my friend have proven my point, I don't believe this thread needs to go any further. If one doesn't understand why this doesn't prove my point, well then, you're either an idiot or don't deserve to know, which seem to go hand in hand...

Except that you ARE 15 and pretty damned immature.

You're not a system administrator. Get over it. You can't freak out over your "users" installing software you don't like until you are.

God damn, I was bad when I was your age, but not THAT bad.

You're "pwning" yourself, if you haven't realized... but you're apparently too thick headed to realize.

Have you ever thought, that there may be a reason why your sister, cousin, your peers, and probably your mother don't think highly of you you? Hmm... think about it for a second. You're trying to run other peoples lives that you have absolutely no right to control, and you think you deserve some kind of positive attention for that? What fvcking planet do you live on? From the looks of it you're an arrogant control freak, and with that attitude, you'll never get anyone to think highly of you.

But of course, you'll rebutt to an argument and erase it--citing that it's useless banter, you'll pick on a minor typo, or completely ignore it. Or even better yet, you'll try to make a statement that makes you sound witty and smart by using words you just looked up on dictionary.com and Wikipedia.

You've made no indication of your age, but it's pretty certain that you're some loser high schooler, who is picked on--for a good reason it seems. Maybe not. Maybe you're older, and in that case, it's even sadder. I honestly hope that what you post on the forum is an act to try and get attention. If it's not, well I just hope that you'll pull your head out of your ass someday and realize you'll get nowhere in life if you try and control people over little petty things. Sometimes you just have to ignore and let certain things go, not everything is your responsibility.
Again, you're wrong on all accounts.

Apparently not jackass, because you just proved one of my points. Thank you.

How about 51? Get over it. Your mom can use the computer any way she wants. It's not like she downloaded Gator or Kazaa. If she says it is none of your business, it is none of your business.

Don't even begin to compare yourself to me dude. I have yet to ever go online and trash my mom, attempt to seem big by bossing her around, or trash software that is OK for it's intended use.

I will never go online and trash talk my mom to a bunch of forum people. That conveys a complete lack of respect. Furthermore, I shut my mouth and fix my moms computer, because she would do anything for me, I recognize and respect that.

Lastly, I try and explain to her what she should and should not do. I do not *TELL* her, I educate her, show her proof, and explain what I do and why I do it. That way she will understand, learn from her mistakes, and not do repeat them.

If she does repeat them, then I just try and remove the possibility of them happening again. Yes, I would lock down several things to make sure she couldn't install stuff that would cause harm. However, I would install *ANYTHING* she wanted other than blatant spyware.

You seem to lack any type of reasoning into why people do what they do. It's probably just that you haven't been around enough people to recognize that what *you* like is not what they might like.

Seriously though, I think you should show your mom this thread and apologize to her.

I'd be tempted to agree with you. However, many of the people I know that were this disrespectful, ungreatful, and stupid when they were young are still the same way today. However, there is always a glimmer of hope for some people, so I won't completely dismiss the possibility of Goku turning out to be semi-normal once he gets out on his own and experiences life a bit.

I love starbucks, whats wrong with hardbucks? You don't like it? Or is it that you can't afford it? Oh, and if you're going to try to 'get back at me' via mentioning the thread about overdraft fees, I'm sorry but it simply isn't going to work. I have the money, just in another account, citibank is a scam for charging me the fees when I clearly had enough money in an account adjacent to my checking account.
