Admit it...
If you had the chance (or the means), you’d ALL be spoilt brats.

Don’t say you wouldn’t. You would. You sooooo would.

They should rename this QOTW to:

‘Reasons why I’m jealous of rich people: C’mon B3tards, bitch and whine about folk because they have more stuff than you and tend to get their own way’.

Yeah so what?
What's wrong with getting pissed off about something that is blatantly fucking unfair?
(Binary Solo loves a bit of algebra, Wed 15 Oct 2008, 15:09, closed)

so if someone has more than you that's unfair, is it?
What's so great about stuff anyway? Deal with it.

erm
If they've done absolutely fuck all to earn it or deserve it, while some people slog away their whole life for nothing, then, er, yes, I'd say that was pretty unfair.

Sorry, I'll skulk on back to my Commie Pinko messageboard, shall I...

deserving it
They may not have, but their parents probably have, so why shouldn't parents pay or use their advantages to help their children? Should my parents not pay my uni fees? Should parents not buy their children things they want, or should all children work in some giant factory so they can earn reward points to spend at toy shops? And thus life would be 'fair', but everyone would be miserable.
And who are you to decide who 'deserves' things? Are you perfectly deserving of everything you get or don't get? I'm a nice person, perhaps I 'deserve' money. I know a bitchy person, perhaps the distribution of wealth police should take away all the money her parents worked hard for.

Parents have a responsibility
to try to bring their children up to a) be decent, respectful people, not nasty little shits who bully the poor kids, and b) be able to make their own way in life. Whilst some well-off parents obviously do manage both of these just fine, showering your kids with infinite supplies of money and everything they ever ask for is not usually a good way to go about it.

While I agree...
...that some of the messages on here are bitching about rich people. the vast majority are bitching about spoilt people, who aren't rich, but are waited on hand and foot. You don't have to be rich to be an arse.

this.
My sister is the biggest spoilt brat I know and expects everything to revolve around her without her ever having to put anything back in. But we both had the same advantages and disadvantages while growing up, so I'm certainly not jealous of her being 'a rich kid' or anything.

These days I'm probably better off than she is, all things considered. And yet I still think she's a brat.

That's a bit specific, shirley?
I mean there's plenty of non-rich spoilt fuckers out there who deserve to be outed as well.

i sort of agree
as i definitely would enjoy an unhealthy dose of spoiling. but you also sound like a bit of a cunt.
(firestormviper!!1 approaching god through cigarettes, Wed 15 Oct 2008, 16:20, closed)

You're absolutely right...

I am a cunt of the highest order in the fact that I toy with honest, upstanding b3tans like yourselves.

I only posted this (in this particular way) to provoke a reaction because I am bored.

I am sorry.

Not really
I went to a grammar school populated by spoilt brats, and I really don't think I could behave in that way. Yes, I'd love to have money so I could sort out my family's various debts, but I certainly wouldn't then spoil my children or myself.

You can be poor and spoilt, it just depends on the quality of the parenting/discipline.

No
I wouldn't. But then again, like a fair number of posters on here, I'm probably too 'nice' to become a great success at anything that rewards people too much for what they do. And I can't play football. And although I did art, I'm not enough of a wanker to make money at it. And my parents worked hard to help their kids get a start in life without spoiling them. And I can't really handle anything more technical than a claw hammer.

The other week there was a news story about lawyers (apols to Rachelswipe) who were complaining about the 'derisory' fees for legal aid work - sometimes as low as £91.00 per hour. How the hell are they supposed to work for that little?

I actually value many things above money - which is probably why I've never made any. I'm not sorry for the choices I've made either. I'd like more money, I'd like to clear my debts, but not so much that I'd do absolutely ANYTHING to get more money.

Well, it's 4.30pm, think I'll go home now.
