I feel spoiled and lucky for being able to eat a chicken, instead of being the chicken being eaten.

You just prove that you are not spoiled.

You are indeed spoiled. While you have superflous possesions, children around the world starve to death. While you are vacationing in your lake house, children die of common diseases because they are too poor to buy $10 worth of medicine. While you are driving your $15K car, people are going bankrupt and losing their homes. While you and your mother sit at home reveling in your affluence, millions of people (including my father and grandmother) work 12 hours a day just to make ends meet. You are spoiled and rich and you should donate to a charity. I can only take solace in the fact that I am considerably smarter than you. Also, your mother aounds like a golddigger.

@ “Shredder7″ you sound like one depressing individual. And contrary to what you have posted, you don’t sound at all intelligent. Perhaps this person/their family does donate to charity. It’s really none of your business. So because there are less fortunate people in the world, everyone should simply sell all worldly possessions, give up everything but the bare necessities, and try to live like you, because you are truly the model citizen. I mean seriously GET OVER YOURSELF. Here’s an idea. Sell your computer, along with anything else which you would deem “excess” and give the profits to your father/grandmother. Because surely they need the money more than you, right? Better yet, quit school, quit your job and go straight to Africa to aid these poor people you rant endlessly about. We both know you won’t do either of those aftermentioned things, because you are selfish hypocrite who likes to put others down and act “holier than thou.” Also, HOW DARE YOU imply that someone YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW is a GOLD DIGGER. What would an idiot like you know? You like to spill your poison at the person asking this question, then act like a regular missionary. What good have you contributed to society? Zero, that’s what.

Now, to the asker. No, dear, I would not call you spoiled. You live a very comfortable life, but that’s certainly not a bad thing. I would say most young people today are spoiled. Very rarely do young people NOT get whatever they ask for from their parents, within reason, at least where I live. It’s when one becomes a brat about it that it becomes a problem, which you most certainly are not. You seem quite modest about your fortunate life, and anyone who says otherwise is ignorant or jealous. Most likely both.

I certainly don’t have the luxeries that you do. I’m an 18-year old guy and live a very average life. I’m attending school next year, but currently work 40-50 hours a week as a clerk, and I only make $10.25 an hour. I know that’s a lot of money in some parts of the world, but not in this part. In our part of the world, $10.25/hour makes things very difficult sometimes. I’m not even using my own computer to type this, it’s my brother’s who is visiting me. I’d like to be attending school right now, but due to financial problems, this is not possible at the moment. Perhaps if I do everything right and follow a strict budget next year is a possibility, but I doubt it. I’m getting a good deal of financial support from my parents, but it only just keeps me out of the red.
