Yeah, CS:S helps a lot of people concentrate. :disgust: You've gotta be kidding me...

And no, you're not going to try equally as hard with the same distractions around you, nor do you deserve the benefit of the doubt from what's been said thus far.

This isnt even about my PC anymore..its about him and me and his stupid passion for taking things away from me...

How are you posting without your PC?

Exactly, I call SHEN!

he has a laptop he is using, which belongs to my other (older than him, but younger than me) brother. This can be clearly deciphered by reading my post above...

Look kid, this is simple. He's not torturing you. The reason why no one is seeing that 'its not about the games' is because it isn't there to see. It is about the games. Know that s**t you do in high school COUNTS. If you have any aspiration of doing anything after school except flipping burgers, you need to get your ass in line and make the f***ng grade. Don't come on here whining about how its not the games, and how your brother loves to torture you. Even if it were true (i can almost assure you its not), the point is you still need to make the grade or you're going to become a huge piece of s**t after school. Your brother is looking out for you, you just can't realize it. I did something like this to my brother that was similar, and he said the same s**t about how I loved to torture him, but no... it was done to motivate him. Some kids have a hard time understanding REASON and LOGIC and that seems to be your problem.

All the torturing, etc aside, my point boils down to this:

Please, just make the goddamned grade. There are already enough illiterate f***s in this world.

Two words.

Spoiled brat.

Damn boy. You've managed to show me - and probably half the forum - the wonders of corporeal punishment in a few short posts.

Good idea!

Who payed for the rig?
If you paid for every last component then he should give it back iregardless of your schooling grades... however if he paid for any of the components in the rig he is entitled to hold those compononents indefinetly at his disgresion. Further more if He paid for all of the PC then you are out of luck and should cut it even that he is willing to let you have it back at all. Have a nice day.

Look at the bright side...at least he's not failing lunch.

Where are your parents during all of this? If I so much as made a B in school, I got Nintendo taken away for a week to a month.

Why thank you :)

BTW...im getting my PC back tonight after a little talk i had with my dad :)

Sounds like you have some real class act parents.

I retract the above comment if you dad only wants it back so he can take it away.

obligatory "who were you before you were banned"

or, sirplayalot/friend?


anyways, the older brother paid for the rig, while the younger is trying to defend his weak case against the older brother taking it. also, the younger brother is complaining about the older brother taking his PS2 away also, i think.

also, if you were someone's older brother and your 15 yr old younger brother got 3 F's 2 D's, etc... you would just let them whittle their life away playing HL2 just because he paid for his PC?

I would return the computer if he gets B's, going from F to A is extremely hard ... he should also understand why it's impt. to get good grades. Just ask him how he'll feel once all his friends are in college and he's left behind in a JC ...
