You said YOU've spent a lot of money on your stuff but yet..

Also, yes my mom does by all my stuff and also she is taking me down to World Cup to support me so called me spoiled or whatever you want.

So you really didn't spend crap. I know lots of people just like Ov3rmind who work and play sports and do activites and work. Just because you play sports or whatever doesn't mean its just GREAT for your parents to spend about 5 grand on paint for YOU. Unless your taking 5 AP courses, playing soccer, baseball, lacrosse, football and doing track, as well as having atleast a 4.8 GPA, I DONT CARE. Cause hell if did that, my parents might buy me a gun. MIGHT.

Get a job! If not during the school year, during the summer! I made close to 2 grand this summer, all of which will feed the old paintball habit. I worked my butt off but now I can play whenever I want, and for a long time too. And I've bought all the gun's I've had with my own money, so they're my guns, not gifts from my parents.
Just about every kid who plays paintball has "their parents support" but that doesnt mean their parents buy them any gun that will be perfect for them. Support for most kids is just getting their parents to drive them an hour there an back to the field, maybe even 20 bucks to help pay for the day.

Now, I'm not typing all this just "to be a jerk" as you put it. Maybe I'm a little bit jelous an wish my parents would help me out a little more with paintball, but maybe I'm trying to tell your something here, that your no special case and you'll appreciate things a lot more when you work for them. That and to stop acting so cocky all the time, money may mean little to you an your parents (seeing how as vikings aren't expensive) but it means a whole lot more to everyone else.

Ok guys, new rule ok? If you have a high paying job and are well off, you are NOT allowed to spend it on your kids. they have to live like the poor kid in the neighborhood, just so they dont cry. Ok?

are you kidding thatd be dumb. i mean if they cant spend thousands of dollars on paint guns for their kids, then the lil kids might have to learn about the value of a dollar, and how to work. and then, theyd be prepared for the real world

[hammer1881]

im sorry..... this has nothing to do with the topic.... but then again most of these posts don't

but that picture petefol posted still has me laughing.......
it has to be one of the funniest things i have ever seen.

(also just so everyone realizes i have an uncle in the special olympics so i have seen these races and been to all the other events ..... i understand how hard they work... so i shouldnt be laughing!)

but i just cant help it! cause the rest of the statement on the photo is just SOOOOOO god damn true.

Some kid is offering me his diamond dust Viking for my EMag....oooohh..i'm really going to have to think about this...

ummmm, what was the topic again????

[aaron_mag]

Sheesh. We're getting mean. I mean if a kid had a paper route and saved up his money and even if his parents helped him out a bit what is the problem? Also some of us in the working world just sound plain bitter. All of these speeches about, "WAIT TILL YOU ARE EARNING YOUR LIVING!" I'll admit that some of us had to work since the day we were born and walk to school in the snow uphill both ways but the majority of us were supported by our parents....

[FreshmanBob]

If he did have a paper route an his parents helped him a little, I'd give him a hearty pat on the back. BUT, his parents dropped about 5 grand for various markers for him and he didn't have a real job.

Halb, your the man I was going to say the same exact thing.

Gotta agree - when I have a kid, he's getting a mag, he can get a job and buy the rest himself
