Okay, I've kept silent until now, but I have to speak up. I'm one of the aforementioned "Spoiled brats" on this forum. I never wanted for anything growing up, and my folks gave me a car when I turned 16. Not a Hummer, but something unusual and that brought a lot of attention. Everyone gave me the same attitude as I was growing up.

I still learned that I have to work my butt off for a living, and getting a car didn't make me any more or less responsible than I would have otherwise been. I was probably the exception to the rule when I was 16, because I was a very responsible kid (and yes, my folks will say the same thing) but that one action didn't change the way I grew up...

Cut the poor kid some slack. He hasn't been offensive, and hasn't been nasty in anyway, so I say more power to him. If his parents think he's responsible enough for that truck, then so be it...who am I to tell them how to raise their child?
