This does NOT sound like you appreciated what you received from your parents.
It's pretty cruel and heartless to say children shouldn't get gifts for christmas. What would it be like to return to school on the day after Christmas break to see and hear all the other children talking about their gifts, which you got none of? Some askes "hey what did you get"? and you answer "energy saving lightbulbs" I think you would receive a few taunts, wouldn't you agree?
I'm not saying people should go into debt, but damn, for kids to not really get anything, especially if you can afford to buy it is just mean.
If people want to buy they're kids lots of shit let them, they worked for it.
And as for pokeing at the fat kids, Most fat kids are fat because of the way they're bodies work, we're not all the same.Now they're are some kids that are bumps on a log.
I'm fucking 6'3'' and i played xbox live alot in the last 3 years and i'm not fat.
And for the telling people to jog and walk and shit, If they want to good for them, not everyone likes to walk aimlessly.
Just saying your not going to change America.
It sucks for a reason.
. Toys are great for kids for a couple of days, but they get tired of them. Heres an idea dont buy useless toys for your kids. By them something useful. . . something they can use for a long time. If you have so much money that you do need to spend some, spend it on a good charitable organization, or buy some more efficient light bulbs.
Right here, first post "don't buy toys, buy lightbulbs"
You also admit that YOU are tired of video games, seems mommy and daddy have raised quite the spoiled little jerk. Just because YOU are tired of video games doesn't mean OTHERS are tired of them. You are trying to dictate what others do based on your spoiled, bored little life.
How about until you have kids of your own, you shut the fuck up about other people and their kids.
Shit I had rules in my house, if the weather was good, you took your ass outside to play with the neighborhood kids. There were big wheels, and bicycles, footballs, all knids of stuff. Neither of my kids are anywhere near overweight, they are both very fit adults.
Guess what, even though they are adults, with jobs and lives of their own, I'm still buying each of them a video game, and I know this will really piss you off, I bought one for my husband too.
I agree with you Socialproblem.
I live in the UK, consumerism has taken over Christmas here as well.
I, like you, am MIDDLE CLASS (wealthier than some, poorer than some.......how is it that some people here don't seem to get this?).
All these folks riding you don't seem to understand what you're saying, but then I guess this is why our countries are running up so much debt.
Gifts are good, gifts are a way of showing love and appreciation to your loved ones. However, gifts CAN be EXCESSIVE (that's what you're trying to say right?), and just like all the other ways in which people live EXCESSIVELY, is damaging the world.
Misshestermoffit, not being funny, but you were obviously quite poor growing up judging by the way you keep refering to SP as 'spoiled', no one is saying you shouldn't be allowed to buy your kids whatever you want for christmas, but even you must agree that excessively spoiling children is a bad thing.

And by saying I'm tired of video games, I'm referring to being tired of the way kids spend all their time on them. AND not just kids, but adults too. I know people who spend ten hours a day on the some type of gaming system or online computer game.
Whatever floats your boat. Once again, not talking to you if you are making a career out of it though. Just talking to those who don't do anything else.You know now'a days you can make quite the career out of video games.

So, after redaing the first part of yoru rant about kid's, i'm gonna assume you don;t have kid's, or know anybody with kid's.. you can take teh game away from 'em, you can stick 'em outside.. but that doesnt mean they're gonna burn calories or anything.. they can sit on their ass just as easy outside as they can nisde.. kid's don;t just obey commands like trained house pet's..
and that stupid spending that you're ranting about si what keep's the economy some-what stable.. or did.. but then gas prices shot through teh roof and we stopped spending on all that "stupid shit", and now we're suffering.. so yeah.. buy everything you can for x-mas.. even if you don;t want or need it
Yeah man where does a lot of the shit you buy come from?......Lol@ countries going into debt by way of consumer spending. LMFAO!!!
Yeah man where does a lot of the shit you buy come from?......
Developing countries.
Both of our countries import a lot more goods than we export, which means more money goes out than comes in....its basic maths.
Our banking systems are going down the shitter.*shakes head*...There is commercial banking, and investment banking.
They're two separate entities. Oh, and you're 100% wrong. Developing countries purchase goods from developed countries at inflated rates, that's why they remain poor. Not the other way around. If you think China is a developing country you need to head back to school.
