Do you know how spoiled many people are?

On the spelling point, "spoilt" is correct if you're British, "spoiled" if you're American. "Two great nations divided by a common language". If you're Canadian or Kiwi, I'm not sure.

And I do think almost all North American (probably not Mexican) and British teenagers are somewhat spoiled, compared to fifty years or so ago, and that includes people who are on welfare. OTOH, teens are inclined to be self-centered just by the age-group, and not yet being responsible for their children. You grow up more quickly when you have a baby in your life who needs feeding and changing.

No,yes bad always existed but not as big as now.There are two reasons i think:

1.Technology(not it inself bad)

2.Atheism and the so called liberations

I used to hate children. All of them, even when I was one. Evil, spoiled things they were.

Until I got to work in a bike shop teaching 4 and 5 year old Somali refugees how to change a flat tire and use a crescent wrench and such. those kids were great. They really wanted to learn, not just make me do things for them.

I don't think it's technology that spoils people. It's convenience. Having too much free time = spoiled. That dishwashing machine sure is a real time saver, now you have 15 more minutes a day to sit on the couch and do nothing.

Doing things the hard way "builds character," right? I like to do most things the hard way. I don't watch TV or ride in cars or airplaines. I do love machines, and work on electronics and bikes and use power tools for carpentry and metalworking. Not a technophobe. But I'd rather use that 100 year old hand crank coffee grinder than have that noisy vibrating Krups grinder screaming at me first thing in the morning. Hand powered machines are extra fascinating. Some of them are very cleverly designed, beautiful to look at and touch.

Oh, and I have not experienced boredom since 2007. That's what I got for refusing to let conveniences continue to spoil me. I got freedom from boredom. Maybe it would work for you too?

spoilt doesn't matter where you live or how much your parents earn. it just means you don't have to earn what you get. no there is no speculation on what spoilt means you're just dumb.

If you noticed i said technology is not in itself bad.Just the bad use.There are two bads of technology.The misuse of it and the ecological damage.

Being spoilt means having to work for more than two hours a day.

Surely this means that the Gods aren't spoilt, though they can never get enough of whatever.

Strangely, Aspergers syncs well with being spoilt by Petronius, as only the overly rational can be a distinct observer, while the socially inappropriate is all that is else desired by others, but not so from. I'll list that to the preacher's desire for demons.

Being spoilt by being kissed by the Gods, I like to think of many of my seizures as my visits to "A Midsummer Night's Dream," or anyways that's what Oberon tells me, so that I may be a more careful Puck. But, Epilepsy is even more mischievous than I am under the Gods' influence, so when I see what fools those mere mortals be, the question should Oberon be respected counter to the reality he knows and created, as all Gods do, is answered for itself.

Miracles amongst these mere mortals are often frustrating with predestination and the nonsense of free will and chance, so I will simply quote with what snippet is there of B.F. Skinner's "Particulars of My Life" on page 227, and St. Peter's alleged irritation with miracles just like mine which are often spoilt. (books-dot-google "Particulars of My Life Skinner" (1977), search "dice" often works when the copyright demons aren't angry).

I live in LA with all the party people too so yeah. Of course I'll be hearing on a daily basis about all their complaints regarding how they couldn't afford any more weed or how much homework they have or how school is sh** because of budget cuts even though we go to one of the top art schools (which explains the weed) in America that provide all the freaking supplies (the quality of which they complain about too) and they have no need to complain. However, since being more privileged than others is all they've known (i.e. as opposed to having little to nothing), our current situation is hell for them. On the other hand, I'm a bit spoiled in that I just use the money I'm given to buy stuff about my interests, because I have more Magic the Gathering cards than I know what to do with.
