Anonymous Coward User ID: 26665965 United States 12/16/2012 04:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Honestly sir, I'm in a similar situation as your son, and I just want to tell you a couple of things. #1. Our world is vastly different from when you were growing up. I would not recommend the military at this time, or anywhere in the near future. Perhaps when you were growing up, but we are about to enter an incredibly difficult time and I think it would better if you two stayed together. Even if that means keeping his pizza delivery job. #2. Talk to your son. Be honest and patient with him. Try and find out what he is actually interested in. I can't tell you the number of times I wish my parents had just sat me down and asked me what i wanted to do with my life, or if I even wanted to go to college or what not. #3. You need to be direct with him, but let him tell his side of the story. Let him explain himself, and try not to be stubborn and see his side of things, and why he does what he does. Our geneartion is not going to have the 2 cars in the driveway and a 401K account. We are not going to have anything even somewhat close to what you and your friends had. Times are changing. Freedoms are being taken away and our Government is nearly completely infiltrated. Sit down with your son and just talk to him. Listen to him. It will do more than you could ever possibly know. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 27792917 United States 12/16/2012 05:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am telling you right now kicking him out will NOT benefit him at all, he will most likely move into a friends house or sleep in his car and this will lead to severe depression/suicide and more drug use possibly harder drugs. He will start to steal and fall into a life of crime because he has no other choice. It's very difficult to be motivated when you live in the comfort of your loving parents home with everything handed to you. And our generation is starting to see that a life working for the system is a lie and not true happiness, which causes us to rebel and not want to be like our parents. Whether this is right or wrong I feel that I am not in the right place to decide, I am just saying this being in a VERY similar place as your son. We aren't mad at you, we don't hate you, we are just comfortable living life like this and enjoy smoking with friends and just don't want to grow up as fast as you did, and when we look at this attitude we say to ourselves, "who decided the growing up age, what is growing up, why do I need to, I could live like this the rest of my life and die happy." It's sad but true. |

Joseph Mengele User ID: 1547645 Denmark 12/16/2012 06:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Dad, Quoting: Anonymous Coward 791743 I'm 20 years old. I have a job. Do you know how many don't have jobs? I have one. Does that mean anything? It doesn't pay what you think I should make, but I perform an important service, cooking for others, delivering their food. It gives me money to do what I want. Do you know what I want, Dad? Do you care what I want? I don't want to join the military. I think it's wrong to kill people because someone tells me to. So I smoke a little, snort a little. I want to enjoy life and not think about all the problems, the wrongs, the injustice, the hypocrisy. Sure I've been busted for drugs. I don't think the laws are fair, necessary, or even legal. Should I set out to change that? Would that embarrass a military man? Do you see what the world is like? How long will it go on? Wouldn't you like to enjoy it while it lasts? I don't save. Why should I give the bank my money, knowing they may steal it like they've stolen everything else they can get their hands on. I took a class for you, Dad. Did you know it was for you? I don't want to go to college, don't want to join the military, don't want to have 6 figures in the bank. But I took the class. It was saying, I love you, in a way I can't verbalize. I don't know yet what I want, but know clearly what I don't want. I'm 20 Dad. Only 20. Maybe some day I'll be as wise as you. Maybe I'll even make some of the choices you made, but until then, help me find myself. I'm sorry about your cars. You know I'm sorry. I'm sorry you feel the way you do. But know this, Dad. I love you. And would love nothing more than having the love returned. Love, Your Son It was sentimental and weak attitudes like this that weakened and ultimately destroyed the Third Reich. In the New World there will be no family, no fathers and no sons, only obedient workers living in The Collective being tutored all of their lives on how to support and contribute to the wellfare of the wellfare-state, and it's owners. Thanks for the New World, dad. Now put that in your sons pipe, and smoke it. |

Love, Your Son wow ur obvously not ACTUALLY this guys son. fuckin internet ppl think they can be whoever they want on the internet becuase they dont have to show there face. well even if this was the son speaking, the post wouldve been resolved and taken down by the father out of saying sorry to his son, and also ppl wouldnt still be commenting on it. anyways, ur just posing as his son to try to make him feel bad, and hey fuck you! ur a fucking loser. what u said was stupid anyways. u 'took a class to make ur dad love you'? dumbass! take a class becuase u need to because u have to get a job! holy crap! u know what all anyone cares about anymore is feeling good until the day that they die. just feeling hapiness. well u know what if everyone thinks like that and lives by that philosophy, then the world IS gonna end soon. check it out, did einstein live by that philosophy? thomas edison? obama? did any famous successful ppl live by just trying to feel good until they die? hell no! if ppl lived like that we would never have a computer to post stupid comments on, much less a lightblub or a telephone or structured houses. this world is headed into the shitter, becuase ppl have become so goddaman selfish. its not about helping the world anymore, its just about getting high and doing "what i want". its become the world of the individual. everyones alone all the time in front of a compute screen, in front of a tv screen, or smoking by themself in their basement. this isnt gonna help the world, so at this point ur are just a drain on society man. to the real son i gotta say: just get a life and start contrubuting to the world, or ppl (and ur dad especially) will stop caring what u do and let u ruin ur life by yourself. i just hope that this son doesnt choke on his own vomit or something. (i know it doesnt say he drinks in this article, but he probably experiments with other stuff like every kid nowadays). |
