These comments are total BS, I don't understand how any of you can judge someone you only know from this website.

I've had to deal with this type of crap my whole life because my parents had a nice house. Of course what no one knew was that my dad's family came here from Cuba in 1960 with nothing but the clothes on their backs and they've busted their asses for over 40 years now to get where they are. People automatically assumed I was spoiled and never worked for anything. Truth is, I did and I still am and had less given to me than most of the people who were passing judgement on me.

The reason why my parents have a nice house is that they have been very smart with their money. When others were buying new cars they were buying their second hand vehicles. They've only bought 2 brand new cars in the 25 years they've been married, and all the others have been used ones probably sold by the same people passing judgement on them.

Point is, this is a frickin web board, and thus no one has a right to pass judgement on anyone else's person as a result of comments made on the board.

My parents just gave me a 1992 Toyota Cressida with 120k and an oil leak... anyone wanna criticize me for that???

Let the dude enjoy his bike, I'm sure he's worked hard for it, and if he didn't it's not really any of your business anyways <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> Sounds like some people are jealous and want a bike for themselves <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" />


The way I see it, and I am in no way attacking you personally. You just gave a good exammple.
I come from a family with money, a lot more than most. I still think you are spoiled because you were given that car, no matter how crappy it is. I was cut off when I was 15. I basically had a place to stay if I wanted. Everything else was paid for. I never had new anything, ever. I was wearing 2 year old clothes in high school, while some peoples daddies were out buying there daughters bmw's and mercedes for their 16th b-days. Bottom line from my book is: If it is given to you after a certain age you ARE spoiled. And no I am not jealous, I have done far more than most people do in their lives and I am only 25. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
