I understand some people have to work their way through school, and/or take out student loans (I know I did) but you're implying that because his Dad is either wealthy, or someone who placed a higher value on paying for his children's education and giving them a leg up on the future, is wrong in some way.

You mad because you're not an American?

Just because you have things doesn't mean you're selfish, his father, and his family could very well have given more money away than you or I made last year, we have no way of knowing that. Just because wealthy people have nice things, doesn't mean they aren't giving. I have friends who's parents are multi millionaires, they live in a nice home and drive nice cars, but they never have the attitude you do towards people. They are very giving, very generous people. Nothing wrong with having nice stuff.

Personally I have quite a few nice things, it's not because I'm rich, it's because I put my priority on something, save up, and buy it. I don't waste my time with credit cards, I'm a weirdo that actually pays off his debts and once he's out of debt works to stay that way. I too hope one day to be able to afford my children's education, and with enough discipline I will be able to do that. But it doesn't mean I don't think of others.

I really hope for your sake, that whatever is making you so mad, is something you can get over, because it's very off putting. No reason to be that mad.

this has nothing to do with what was being discussed at all. he is attempting to appear as though he has pulled himself up by his bootstraps to become who he is today and thinks that others can do the same. in reality, not many people have rich daddy's who pay for everything but he's unable to see that because he's sheltered and ignorant. im also willing to bet he goes to church each sunday!

i am american, but find it regrettable that my country is full of religious zealots who try to lord their beliefs over people who are smarter than they are.
