Spoilt BratsMr Newton sighs, "ever known anyone so spoilt you would love to strangle? I lived with a Paris Hilton-a-like who complained about everything, stomped her feet and whinged till she got her way. There was a happy ending though: she had to drop out of uni due to becoming pregnant after a one night stand..."
Who's the spoiltest person you've met? Has karma come to bite them yet? Or did you in fact end up strangling them? Uncle B3ta (and the serious crimes squad) wants to know.

deserving itThey 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 responsibilityto 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.
