local 18 y.o. Xmas present, Lambo

[RACER X]

i don't follow the SVT forum, just found the link a read a lil

this is funny

"Sucks that your little bro gets a lambo and you still have a mustang. Do your parents keep you in the basement and feed you buckets of fish heads too? "

I don't buy the story at all, but am far more amused how much it bothers you. If the kid accomplished everything mentioned below it sounds like he's done as much, if not more, than you and he's only 18.

Usually among asians and eastern europeans.

Yeah, Southeast Asians maybe......The Chinese, Koreans & Japanese tend to keep their kids more in line

Other than his football scholarship I don't see anything special in terms of accomplishments.

Have you been to Texas?

Football is all that is special to those people.

Umm...no
Folks from Hong Kong are the biggest culprits.


As for the kids in question.
You are SUPPOSED to do well in school.
You are SUPPOSED to stay out of trouble.

Reminds of people who expect some sort of reward for "Showing up to work everyday"...that and the Chris rock bit ("I take care of my kids!!")

[pauldun170]

Cases where parents lavish such flashy gifts to the their children seem to be more about an image thing for the parents vs anything to do with the kid.

OK but how do you know they're from Hong Kong instead of the mainland unless of course they told you?

Manhattan and Queens NY - You don't hide in a car. You actually meet a diverse group of people.
Once you start meeting and talking to people, you find out things.
Things like "where are you from" and why are your parent like that.

Just based on co-worker testimonies alone I could write a coffee table book however one guy who I worked with for about 7 years (who just happened to be from Hong Kong) had plenty to say about the culture...in between all the "hong Kong\Chinese is best\invented\blah blah blah"
