My parents got me my first 98c for xmas a few years ago, and got me a 2k3 cocker for xmas, well they paid 250, I paid the rest, and they helped me buy my impulse, but that once again is my xmas present. So I dont think Im that spoiled.

My dad is the one that helps me buy all this stuff, but hes the one that complains about me buying it. I actually thinks he likes me playing paintball. He'll always volunteer to take me to the field even if my mom is suppose to take me. My parents are cool.

in reality spoiled kids grow up spoiled adults, they are a life long problem to "normal" people, and it's a gene that NEEDS to be controled. But yeah, rich ppl control the world so it's not like it's something we will be able to change...

I've never spent a penny of my parents on paintball...unfortunately. damn richies

That just deserves a big "Wow." I can't believe people (parents) do things like that. Having money is one thing, but spending it ridiculously is another.

In the US, 10% of the population pays 50% of the taxes (billions needless to say) that gives you an idea how rich these people can be...

Well AT LEAST she has kids and isn'T LEAVING A HERITAGE TO HER ********* DOG...

Sometimes I ask God why I wasn't born into a rich family.

what was that last sentence?????????????

edit. thats for mat

[GoatBoy]

Heheh... I dunno, I don't particularly feel much of a jealous twinge when I see that. I'll look at stuff and think to myself, "Wow, that's a lot of money", but the fact in itself doesn't cause any jealousy in me.

It only annoys me on other levels, like when they buy a gun too complicated for them to handle, and they break it in the middle of a game, and they happen to be on MY team.

And the other level is of a more political nature, being that these are the kids (and parents!) who fuel a lot of the trends of stupidity that are perpetrated by paintball companies. And unfortunately this does have an effect on me.

I guess I'm just way too complacent with my gun. Someone offered to trade an 03 shocker for my mag (ULE, intelliframe, X-Valve -- nothing special at all), and quite frankly, I told him no. The gun never breaks down, always finds its mark, and feels comfortable in my hands. It's not that the 03 is a bad gun; it's one of the few electros that I actually do like, it's just that I love my mag. I couldn't care less what other people are buying, because my stuff works, and I'm just happy to have more targets to shoot at.

Course, I don't have kids of my own so I can't say firsthand if I would feel THAT kind of jealousy. Although upon further inspection, I would be far happier if my kids were not as stupid as the kids mentioned in the original story. So in that respect, whatever parental jealousy I might have felt would be dwarfed by the pity I would confer upon those who inherit such genetics.

I guess she would rather see her children enjoy her money now instead of having them wait until she is dead.
