Spoilt Brats
Mr Newton sighs, "ever known anyone so spoilt you would love to strangle? I lived with a Paris Hilton-a-like who complained about everything, stomped her feet and whinged till she got her way. There was a happy ending though: she had to drop out of uni due to becoming pregnant after a one night stand..."
Who's the spoiltest person you've met? Has karma come to bite them yet? Or did you in fact end up strangling them? Uncle B3ta (and the serious crimes squad) wants to know.

That I include myself!. I'm not purporting to be better than anyone, oh and granted, I know nothing about economics. I think I may have used a few bad examples, and I'd like to put it straight if I may.
I just think people expect too much in the way of material goods. I dont blame people largely, I don't even know who is at fault but the point at which it goes wrong for me is mass marketing. People are told, by an intangible, supposedly benign, nanny figure, that they should want this or that, and come to expect that they can have this or that, and that's when they become spoiled. I must point out at this point that my material goods wishlist at this point includes that lovely double-cutaway Gibson Les Paul I've seen, a Ducati 1098, a Mazda MX-5 and a DAB. None of which are necessary, I just want them because I do. I dont mean to paint myself better than anyone else in this one, I'm possibly one of the worse offenders, and probably don't even hate the Range Rover driver; I'm probably just jealous of her success. At the end of the day we all exercise personal choice and it's not for me to criticise. (Damn I just had to wiki "criticise" for the spelling. Damn) I'm sorry If I've bored anyone. I'm always going to be frugal though, it was just the way I was raised. Waste and profligate behaviour offends me. Damn I've bored myself now. Bye

Don't waste your time with the Les Paul
get something with a thinner neck. You'll thank me in the long run.
