I ****ing hate boston accents

LOL

So I take it the parents didn't shut his ass down?

If it was my BBQ I would have told him to start showing some respect or both him and his parents can leave. I wouldn't put up with that crap myself even with his parents there if it wasn't my place.

As far as your friend goes I would talk to them about all the lying they do. Maybe just maybe they will change. As far as I am concerned if you are actually their friend you should say something before just calling them out and loosing a friend.

No the parents didn't do anything. I did find out this morning from other friends that the kid is a problem child. Not in the criminal sense or anything like that but I guess he was an only child ad they spoiled him rotten, Now he has therapy issues and spends 20hrs a day locked in his room playing online video games. This changes my initial thoughts on him because it's pretty obvious they have some issues with the kid.

There is definitely a lack of good parenting in this day and time for sure.

I live in predominantly military area and I can assure you while Dad is away, Mom's just dont give a crap what their kids do. Let alone what is happening in society as a whole.

I have relatives from Boston but they aren't typical assholes. They are from Cali so their still cool.

There is a reason people from Boston/Mass are called massholes.

If it wasn't for my accent people would never know I was from the Boston area. After 13 years in the military I have become pretty tame compared to some of my old friends back home.

Boston, the home of patriotism. LOL! Instead of doing a BBQ next year why not take the family to an old soldiers home and help the men that have no one in their life.

I have been AD for 13 years, I believe I have paid my dues and am justified attending a BBQ. As a Recruiter I spend a fair share giving back and spending time with the community whether they served or not.:beer:

That 17 year old kid probably would've whipped your ass. Good thing you held your tongue.

LOL, I'm not a fighter, I would rather use my wit but to your point, NO not in this case, This child was a limp noodle which is why his attitude was so alarming

It takes all types to make the world go 'round' my man :)

This is true, the older I get the less I have the desire to interact with all those types though! lol

You need a vacation.

Yes Sir I do. August cannot get here soon enough!:beer:

Seriously though, I am the same way. I get worked up over how others act and my wife tells me to just let it go.:shrug:

If you really want to lose faith in humanity, go hang out at Walmart for an afternoon of people watching.:nonono:

I am the same exact way. I litteraly let it "get" to me and I need to stop.

A close family friend used to always say "know what you know and let it go" Great little quote but very difficult for me to adapt.

Walmart litteraly disgusts me.

Steve, I swear the older I get the more I seem to see behavior in people around me that maybe before I just simply ignored. What I hate the most is when a person lies/boasts with a louder than normal voice when there are other people around. As if they want the whole room to buy into their b.s. with absolutely no concern/conscience that it's just that....b.s. Maybe a person lies and spouts b.s. for so long that they then actually believes their own lies. :dw: :shrug:

Bob, I know exactly what your talking about, I know a few people like that and it's the most annoying thing in any social setting. Stop overtalking and shut up. I also have a guy I work with that will interrupt you constantly with his own story or he'll ask you a question and as you begin to answer he'll interrupt you with his own story. I just shake my head and sometimes litteraly laugh in his face because it's actualy comical.

and i get shit from my cousins who both have worthless shits for kids about my wife and i being too strict with my daughter...guess what she is usually the best behaved kid where ever we take her...call me a strict asshole father i don't care lol

Yep, My kid is always the most well behaved child anywhere we go (of course there are the occasional exceptions). We always get compliments about her behavior. Her little friend that lives next door to us is only 6yo and she is clearly already demonstrating signs of anger issues and or severe depression. I hate to say this but I cannot stand that little kid because she acts just like her whack job mother.


E-Friends FTW!

Compulsive liar..lol. I met a guy in junior high who was one. We used to call him on it all of the time. However being young we just figure it was just his personality and as long as we knew the truth we didn't care much. Once we graduated from high school it became out of hand. You just get tired of it and after a few years I was done. You have to grow up some time and people like that always bring drama. If its a good friend make mention and give them the opportunity to change it, if not then walk away.

I get "looks" from my brothers over the same stuff. I am way more strict with my kids then they are. I told my mom once that I'm not sure if it's just the difference in kids or the discipline, but mine don't act like retarded monkeys all of the time.

It seems like everybody's an asshole these days. I was at the casino last night and gave this older lady 80 bucks just because I was up and she was looking down on her luck. Later, these two old bitches were talking trash about how I was betting too high at black jack. Didn't get squat.

2 weeks ago my wife watched my neighbors kid let their dog take a dump on my yard and then they just walked on back to their house. My wife went over their and politley told "mom" what happend. Her immediate response: "Well do you have proof it was my kid?" My wife said Yeah I watched them do it. She got: "well thats your word and that doesn't mean anything to me" She closed the door as my wife stood there like wtf just happend?

Karma alert. 3 days ago above said "mom" decided to do a little drinky and drive and took down a light pole at the end of the street and then decided to drive home leaving a trail of anti freeze for the authorities to follow to her door.

We sat out front and watched and enjoyed the festivities.

Honestly not sure. She's active duty Navy so it was comical seeing the tow truck come and take her car away and a representative from her command there. Knowing the military this could go either way but I was satisfied with the embarrasment I know she felt with all of us out there watching.

My cousin is a compulsive liar... I catch her bs'ing about everything, even about things that don't make sence to lie about, like what she ate for lunch :shrug: haha! It's to the point where I just "yes" her to death when she's talking to me.

ummmmm, learn to be a better judge of character maybe? make better friends? choose quality people with life objectives, goals and ambitions.

if you hang out with people who graduated high school, but took no further initiative to better themselves whether through learning a trade, going to college, a tech school, or whatever, and are simply just existing, skip job to job, and really have nothing going for them, steer clear because all you'll find is drama, liars and people who will talk nice to your face, and stab you in the back the minute you turn around.

If you want to hang out with credible people, who have integrity and good positive traits, I suggest you do some volunteer work, and you'll be amazed at how much more productive your life is, how much better you will feel, and you'll be surprised at the number of quality friends you make.

when you get around people who love to give and do for others, it finds it's way into your life and you start to model your life after that because it makes you feel good to make a difference to other people. those are the people you should hang around.

call up your local united way, ymca, or whatever and go do some volunteer work, you'll meet some amazing people, because those people, have big hearts, compassion and integrity.

and with that, I'll step off my soapbox.

even better. she will get hit with Captains Mast and lose 1/2 months pay for 2 months, a reduction in Rank and will not be allowed to drive on base for one year

the bust in pay grade really hurts...depending on her paygrade it could take her 3 years to recover...

Thanks for reading the whole thread:nonono:

Where are you getting this info? All my friends are active duty military and their dependants. As I said earlier, I donate alot of my time to the public and am involved in a lot of community programs. As a recruiter for this country's premier life saving service It brings me great pleasure to visit inner city schools and lend a guiding hand through the power of experience and story.

I had to drop out of HS in the 11th grade due to severe family issues, i raised myself, got my GED and enlisted at 21yo. 13 years later I have a great family, numerous medals and awards and a college degree.

I realize that just because I am military we are not all perfect! LOL ohhhhhh helllll no! Some of the biggest A holes I meet are military unfortunately. But that also means that just because someone has a business degree or they do volunteer work that they are impervious to being an asshole!

I get what your saying bro, But I am light years ahead of you on this. All I was bitching about is the general decline in acceptable social behavior in today's society. Call it a shift in social culture if you will. It seems like everybody these days are only concerned with one thing "ME" that's it.

And the inability to communicate in a face to face manner is pathetic! People are seriously affraid of confrontation these days because it's a "E" world.

I cannot tell you how many of my applicants I have to repeatedly tell to look at me when I'm talking (no not just 17yo's, I'm talking guys in their mid 20's).

We're going down the toilet quick, But if one kid i talk to at a school follows my lead then that's a victory in my book. If the parents wont do it, I will!

it's based on personal experience. hang out will troll who live under bridges and don't give a shit, they will drag you to their level and you will become one of them.

hangout with Falcons and Eagles, you'll become one yourself.

i dont worry too much about the rest of society, because I can't change them. I can only impact the people in my life and make a difference one person at a time. the rest are too stupid to worry about. life is short, spend it caring about the one's worth caring about, and kick the other ****ers back down in the gutter where they belong.
