Spoiled, then, my kids are. Gamers and Athletes. Costs money to play. Even on my single mom budget.

Spoiled, YES!!! Third in the state for Wrestling, and Top 16 New England!!

And he's a little hack in the making. Oh, he's also an A student!! One of the brightest in his class.

And my other two have Math Skills that are remarkable, as well.....

BTW, it's Black Ops and Tour of Duty and all those other games. Skylanders, is the new wave of what used to be the Pokémon sect...

By defnition, "A spoiled child or spoiled brat (spelt "spoilt" in British English) is a child that exhibits behavioral problems from overindulgence by his or her parents. Spoiled children may be described as "overindulged", "grandiose", "narcissistic" or "egocentric-regressed". The syndrome is characterized by "excessive, self-centered, and immature behavior". It includes lack of consideration for other people, recurrent temper tantrums, an inability to handle the delay of gratification, demands for having one's own way, obstructiveness, and manipulation.[5]"

Basically, you just called anyone who plays videogames spoiled brats who get whatever they want when they want and throw temper tantrums when they don't get what they want, who are self-centered and think they are better than everyone else. So yes, that would be offensive as videogames are considered a staple to a young boy's life.

And as I've said before, you can live a fulfilling, meaningful life AND watch pornography. Watching pornography doesn't automatically make you a failure or a loser. As most people on the past four threads you've been posting in said, pornography is normal behavior to watch and the majority of people have watched pornography at least once, with teenage boys being the highest watchers.

in that case, spoiled is not the right words. i don't know how to describe someone who gets what they want, like video games. Pampered isn't the right word either.

My parents always tell me that they do whatever they can to buy my brother and I nice things, videogames being one of them. I don't think it has anything to do with getting what we want, it's because we will use and enjoy what we get and videogames are easy to please. It's hard to go wrong with videogames because my brother will talk about how cool a new game is and then my parents know what to get him for Christmas.

1. Because you're not in a relationship.
2. Because you are in a relationship and your girlfriend wants to watch it with you.
3. Because you can buy porn and play the porn while you're having sex.
4. It's a time killer.
5. It gets you off.
6. It's free.
7. Your friends are busy and you have time for yourself.
8. You need something new to fantasize about.
9. You're bored.
10. Porn gives you ideas to try in bed. (at least for me, I've definitely discovered some new positions I'd like to try someday.)

Your brother's very lucky to get what he wants. video games is not something that I want because I always lose.

Is this gay porn you are watching, and that is why you feel so guilty? Which way do you swing?

I do not think that asking this question now is the best use of your time. Hopefully you will be spending time with others, and if not, you will then figure out if you want to watch porn. Then, not now - it is not an urgent issue.

It seems that an urgent enough matter is to understand why your usage of spoiled was offensive and what needs to be done after you realized that you unintentionally used a word that had an offensive nuance to its meaning.

This is not by way of criticism at all. I think we all see that you were not intentionally offensive, but that it takes so long to demonstrate to you that words need to be used more carefully is unusual. So maybe you do need skills training.

I don't think that's necessary. And no, I am not dismissing your post. I am just saying that mistakes can be made unintentionally and at times all it takes is an apology and some changes to that.

And that is so right... all it takes is an apology. Show me where the apology was in:
