Could've gone to private school, parents didn't send me. Not bothered.

But surely you meet more interesting people at a state school. Ie, people whose parents aren't just like yours.
Maybe I've been brainwashed though - my parents sent me to state school in the US on principle (they could've afforded private). I had a good time.
Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
point: being wealthy is by no means a prerequisite for raising a good child, nor is your income a reliable gauge of how decent your kid is going to be. As long as you have enough to feed it and dress it and time to give it attention, and you're not a moron, then I'm pretty sure you're k.
I've met excellent people raised by single mums in their 20s, and a shit load of absolute disasters with rich banker-parents. But hey, at least they can get that job at Daddy's firm and live comfortably and complacently until their inevitable death.

That's a pretty nice life story and all bro, but my point is that people were high-fiving each other over how hard they could piss on Irish's bonfire, when he was a hard-working guy with two shitty jobs -van delivery and working in the soil on a farm - just to pay for his kid. Then you all want to congratulate TS, who by all accounts has had his entire life planned out for him before 21, and is pretty much dependent as a leech on his parents/wife's inherited money. I just don't see any standards here for "congrats! and good luck!". Why was Irish's unplanned pregnancy contemptible but TS's is a great choice? Graphic designers in the north do not get paid enough to have a Lambo, a family home, and a newborn baby. I'm sorry, but someone is picking up the bills somewhere. So we should all be clapping him on the back for his thread advertising spilt sperm? No thanks.Jenspm wrote:

he's talking out of the same place he shits from probably, i haven't read his last borefest post but i think it's safe for me to sayIlocano wrote:
While I was not part of the Irish bashing, TS has some awesome shit safety net, regardless of how he got it. Inheritance on both sides, hell, I wouldn't turn any of that down.
Only you could turn a thread about someone having a baby, into a dick swing contest.aynrandroolz wrote:

Maybe if you went to a private school you would understand one of the civic qualities it instills in its students: ambition. Something TS seems to singularly lack. Married with a kid before he's barely an adult, driving one of his mum's castoff motors and thinking he's basically a made-man living the high life (just check some of his posts, rofl), when he has earnt nothing. Some life.
And in response to Ilo's post below, considering this was the gist of people's argument earlier:I find your justification pretty hilarious.I've met excellent people raised by single mums in their 20s, and a shit load of absolute disasters with rich banker-parents.
