Realize, my friend, that you are in the EXTREME minority when you spout the amount of money you and you relatives/friends have (assuming any of it is true). Learning respect for others is obviously going to be very difficult for you, if you continue to talk down to people like that. I live a comfortable life myself, but NEVER disrespect anyone. Get a clue, kid. Maturity is still unreachable for you. Maybe later....WAY later.

You obviously only read until that part. By just calling me immature and kid and saying you "NEVER disrespected anyone," you have already disrespected me and stripped yourself of any creditibility you may have had in my mind. However, if you consider yourself an expert at ripping other people's post apart and nitpicking, go ahead. I can back up my points and help you understand where I am coming from. However, like I have previously stated, "If you choose to ignore what I just spent 10 minutes of my busy life to type out, then you are already too far gone. You have chose to believe your way is the right way and your discipline is the best way to achieve success in life." You are obvious in that group so I will not waste any more of my breath on you. At the age of 41, Spoiler, I think you will agree you have no interest in hearing what a 20 year old has to say. You consider it ludicrous a 20 year old can have more farsight than you right? That is fine. I have no intention of changing a stubborn man. Like they say, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks."
For all the other people who have read the post thoroughly, thanks for your time and hope you consider my school of thought. Although very slight spanking has been scientifically proven not harmful in the long run, words of encouragement, love, and understanding of your son will go alot further than what a poster suggested, "what kids today need is a good spanking." Just like teaching a puppy to sit and shake hands, treats will always persevere over beating.
Well, like someone said, lets talk about IS300. Anyways, my time at IS300.net is up. I negotiated a deal for the CLK 430 cabriolet black with ash interior today at Rusnak. When the car is available I will take it to a nice benz modifying place north of USC across from LA Downtown Motor called RBTECH. A full Lorinser kit will be installed along with 19'' Chrome wheels (i love shiny things). The IS, while a great car, is just not right for me. I especially feel cheated because the Longo Lexus neglected to inform me 2002 model was due out in about a month after my purchase, and I bought an older model without side curtain airbag, complete leather (i hate the escaine feel), a real handrest to the right of the driver side, a less rice backlight, stiffer chasis, and shinier wheels. Oh, and the MANUAL thing. One more thing
the black onyx was just too much of a pain to wash every four days. THe thing gets dirty before it hits the garage. And the two stripes of water marks that results in driving after washing is slightly irritating to remove. I am actually going to publish my theory on parenting sometime in the next three years after more observation and data gathering. Going to publish through my Dad's publishing company. If you ever see it, pick it up and read some of it
I promise you it's not total BS I am spewing out, but a good, solid way of raising a new generation of kids that will be more successful in life, reach full potential, and demonstrate a greater degree of filial piety toward his parents.
Well, nothing more to be said. Bickering on a forum, although in some forms a relaxation from the monotony of
