Spoiled rich kids get screwed over by religious asshole

[quote name='PittsburghAfterDark']Am I the only one seriously distrubed by not only the vaccuous, self-centered twits they put on MTV's "My Sweet 16" but the parents who will blow well into six figures on a party, band, clothes, gifts and a car? I honestly was shocked at the extravagence displayed on that show and horrified at the children expecting it be lavished upon them. Here was my sweet 16, bunch of friends, grilled food, sodas everyone went home. Hell, I thought that was great!

Now these kids expect well know major artists, BMW's, $5,000 gowns, full catering, limos to hand out invitations? WTF is this? Why are parents allowing it, endorsing it and competing with their own peers in idiocy?

I have no sympathy for these spoiled brats who had their prom pissed on. I will agree with the principal that events like this are nothing but drunken, drugged out orgies of extravagence. Kids have been getting laid and drunk on prom night since the concept was invented. However it used to be a couple of rebels getting a room at Motel 6, having a brother buy them a case of beer and the two trashy chicks guaranteed to put out if you remembered their name and danced with them slow.

I fail to see why a school should put together an event like this given what happens with all the activites surrounding it. Sorry, these are still kids. They need to have guidelines and someone pointing out the rightness and wrongness of their behavior and actions. Unfortunately in cases like this the parents need to be told how to act like adults as well. You just don't allow kids to rent a $10,000 house for the night!

DUH! Earth to moronic parents![/QUOTE]

Awesome Evanft, I was thinking the same thing.

So you're right guys, maybe the principle is not a religious asshole, but instead a closet communist.
 
This has nothing to do with communism versus the free market. Nice try though.

It has everything to do with common sense. You don't feed a dog from the table and expect it not to beg just because you have company. Likewise you don't give kids an event worthy of an Oscar night party and then expect them to buckle down, work hard and earn what they want in life.

However the rich don't have to buckle down and work hard.

They can just cruise through college on strippers and coke, become the alcoholic business manager of a startup that's financed by daddy's friends, and then just before they wash out they can find Jesus and play up the bigots for a big election win.

Let's be honest here people, America's superficiality is not going to be cured by some power-tripping principle who models himself after Dean Vernon Wormer.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief. The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our female party guests - we did. [winks] But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!

Dude, it was a joke in a relatively lighthearted thread.
 
Personally, I don't think the principal was quite in the right, but I'm not particularly opposed to the actions he took. If anything, it just shows that these kids don't get everything they want.
