Remember, we don't value even the simplest things in life until you hit bottom of the bottom to experience yourself. If then, they probably think us owning 370z is like a huge waste of money and would call us idiots for spending a car that is about 3 years worth of rent.
I've known many people who came from RICH backgrounds. The ones I've truly respect are the ones who lived through college on their terms without financial support of their parents. They still turn out great people. There are the ones that even if they act spoiled, they still carried strong work ethic from their parents and be successful. Then there's the third group where the parents wonder why their kids are still lazy idiots after college . Now take that statement above and replace "RICH " to "POOR ." You would see the same can be said as well. How we value things differ from person to person. Unless the person directly became an *** to you, you pretty much have no right to judge others.

I've lived both ways. Scraping change out of the couch just to put .75 gallons of gas in the car to get to work. Also had help from parents in college. Now I live just fine. A person's work ethic is not determined by their parents help/not helping them or their background or whether or not they had money. That is complete ********. If it were true, inner-city areas would produce all of our lawyers, MD's, and the like. They don't. The truth? Rich kids are born with the same genetic make-up as poor kids. Their parents money just gives them a better shot at success. I know poor failures, and I know rich failures. I know poor people who became rich and squander it, and I know rich people who blew it. I also know the opposite. A person is who they are going to be. I think people who feel that way are just jealous that their parents couldn't afford to help them the way they saw others being helped, and they grew more bitter when they saw some of those silver-spoon kids blow it all like they didn't care. Well, I see poor people blow what little they have, too. I also watched a few rich kids I grew up with become wildly successful with a VERY solid work-ethic.

I remember scavenging for money, it really sucks.
I think it makes you a better person if you had to work hard for what you have and it makes you respect your belongings more. This is just my opinion. as for the video, I really dont know what to say about this. atleast the kids had fun. Last edited by VQStryker; 07-15-2011 at 04:46 AM. |

Sometimes you just have to tell people to shut-up and remind them: It's my soap, and my ****, and I'll wash it as fast as I want. |

I am not going to lose any sleep on this and I am not hung up on what he did. I only made a comment on how I feel (IMO) how people are. Like I said "atleast the kids had fun" I couldnt care less that they jumped all over the car. |
