That is indeed pretty fucked up. But at the same time, it doesn't bother me that much when i see kids like that, because once they grow up a bit, they ent gonna be able to afford shit and they're gonna hate their life because they're too used to getting whatever they want. Sucker!
When i was that age, i had an n64, which we were allowed to use for an hour a day ebtween my brothers and I, and after that, get on your bike or roller blades and play in the village. Anything fancy, such as a laptop, would need a solid justification, in my case, while doing gcse's, the entire boarding house had to share one omputer and printer, so they figured it was a useful buy, but i still had to save up half of the money. I'm 25 in a few weeks, and i've asked for a specific tent. Only costs £90, but i still have to put £50 of my own money towards it, doesn't bother me in the slightest. We've always had a £40 present limit for birthday and christmas, unless there are extenuating circumstances, and we were never unhappy as a result. Much better to save and buy your own shit than just being pampered, means you don't give a damn about the thing. all these kiddies who get given an iphone just to break the screen and not care because the cost of it means nothing to them.
