That first paragraph is a ton of bullshit. It is not the governments job to police the spending habits of 18 year olds. It just is not their job to infringe upon our personal lives like this. @ 18 They can die for their country, but can't drink a beer that they bought with their credit card? BULLSHIT! We lose our rights in this country day by day because everyone thinks the governments job is to be our mommy and daddy. My oldest (I have 4) is almost 17 and I'M HER PARENT. I don't expect the government to do my job and I don't WAN'T the government to do my job. That's the problem with the world today is noone can take reponsibility for themselves or for their own. It's always someone else's job or fault.

But if parents aren't going to do THEIR job (and the vast majority don't now a days, that's why the next generation is so fucking lazy and spoiled. Parents give them what they want when they want it just so they don't have to deal with them) then someone needs to put a halt to the bullshit financial institutions are doing and their predatory tactics.

You do your job as a parent, congrats to you, but I damn sure shouldn't have to pay for the vast majority that don't. And if that means the Government puts the halt to issuing credit cards to those too young and mature to have one then so be it and screw those who disagree. God forbid that something be regulated, such a shame eh?

Roe vs Wade needs to be turned over because people use it AS A MEANS OF BIRTH CONTROL. However, it probably shouldn't be because our government isn't smart enough to still give the option to victims of rape or incest or to people who need it for emergency medical reasons.

BULLSHIT! Roe vs Wade needs to be left the hell alone. The Government has no right to tell a woman she doesn't have the right to make decisions regarding her body. Abortion should be left alone, and left to the ones contemplating it and not to anyone else, I don't give a damn about anyone's religious beliefs when it comes to this issue. If a man doesn't believe in abortion then he shouldn't have one. Fucking left wing fanatics trying to pull this shit, it's a woman's decision, no one else has a right to say shit about it.

And I'm not sorry for ruffling any feathers

to buy things? but that's not the point, he didn't have a credit card, he has a debit card. thus the quotes.

Sloth, I have a debit card, and I don't want a credit card. I don't see the need to buy what you can't afford in cash in the moment, excluding things like cars and houses and such....

1. little s
2. that's not what i said, i didn't say he SHOULD have a credit card, i said he was too fucking retarded to even know what kind of card he had (and thusly didn't deserve the 'rights' he complains about losing, not to mention they don't exist in the first place). if you go back, you'll even notice i said to wolfcoder it was fine to use what he was most comfortable with.

I also had to buy my own V.C.R., telephone service, online service, my 1st (& every) car, my own auto insurance, ect. At the age of 16 the only thing provided for me was food & a roof.

...

Same, and I even contributed to the bills. I try not to bitch too much myself, it's just that I needed the internet for school Like I said, now she loves the internet lol. The XBox isn't necessary, so I wouldn't complain that much.

You're right. Unfortunately abortion is used a crutch so people can rationalize their behavior. If you don't want the risk of having a child, stop fucking. Seems simple.

Oh man - where to jump in? This thread is all over the place.

Is your X-Box plugged in to their house, their electric bill, their internet bill? Time to grow up pumpkin.

I just got funny looks from lol'ing ridiculously loud at work.

Holden - Dude, I don't even know where to begin with this thread. When I was 17 I was on my own and never looked back. (I got a good relationship with my family, even though we are 150 miles apart now.)

I read most of this thread, and you sound like a whiny girl crying because Johnny Jockstrap took your virginity and then left you for your best friend because she had bigger tits.

Like everyone else said - Man up! GTFO and become a productive member of society. I pay enough in taxes for you unemployed douchers who mooch off of everyone else but yet drive around town in a fucking Escalade and have a 62" Plasma. get my drift.

Oh and for the record, YOU GOT:

The first chapter of Freakonomics is an interesting perspective on abortion. It points out that that approximately 16 years after abortion was legalized, crime rates in predominantly poor neighborhoods started to drop at drastic rates. Suggesting that aborting fetuses who would have grown up in poor families with shitty parents and gravitate to a life of crime actually resulted in a decrease in the crime rate.

Interesting theory.

It's way to complex for me. What if someone aborts their child who was going to grow up and cure cancer?


Creepy. :\

or maybe he's just an idiot. let me guess, you had this 'credit card' when you weren't 18? mommy and/or daddy went with you to the bank to sign you up?

just because you can buy smokes does not make you an adult. you want to be treated like a grown up? act like one.

Sloth. I dont smoke. Run a test if you want. I ship my pee to your house, if you really want. Oh can we close this because I got ROFLPOWNED. It was my friends dad that cancled his account. The thing is though the account has been dead for about 2-3 years.
Yes I got PWNED because I didnt read very closely.

[skyhawk133]

No way we're closing this thread. It's full of awesome. Abortion. Credit cards. X-Box. Moving out. Growing Up. You couldn't cram that much win in to another thread if you tried. Unless it was called "Hi KYA".

[Holden117]

FIne lets keep going with the abortion topic. Enough flamming me. I get. You all hate me. LOL.
I do not care about abortion. I dont agree with it being legal but its still not my issue as me being a guy.
