Your first son died in a motorbike accident when he was 16. You've given your second and only remaining child $5,000 for his 18th birthday and he wants to buy a motorbike with it. Do you forbid him or respect his wishes.

It's his $5,000.

I'm not the one riding it. So I guess so, but he better make sure he uses it and doesn't get freaked out by it or there will be hell to pay...

$5,000 of his 18th birthday!?!?! That seems a bit much. When he's 18 I can't stop him. I would try and desuade him form it but I can't doa nythign to prevent it.

It's his money. As long as he buys some protective gear with some of the money then I'm fine with that.

but how responsible is the son? i am actually getting to dislike this book, because it's blanketing over so many possibilities that it is impossible to choose on most of them. stupid book! the polls are good, though.

Okay, okay, I'll make up some info for you but then it'll be inaccurate when you compare results... I doubt the public needed so much information. Wait... Just stereotype with things. He's the average 18er, you've got a picture of how 18s act in your mind don't you? Use that, it'll save everyone some trouble.

Respect, it's his money Besides, people get killed changing lightbulbs, is that a reason not to let people change lightbulbs? As long as he's responsable, Respect.

last time I checked it was both illegal and impossible to have sons older than me.

Show me...HYPOTHETICAL! *points to a board* . . . *Hypothetical slides into view* Huzzah! . . . Oh. Yes. Right. Well. Um. I don't think I'd be all that pleased, but not angry. Just worried. Worried and a little hurt. Opening old wounds. I'd let him know that I was frightened he'd be killed, but if he really wanted to buy it, he was free to do so, as long as he took care to be safe in his dealings with it and used the proper safety equipment. And such.

People die walkign of 100 foot cliffs is that a reason not to walk off a 100 foot clif?

The_Sparrow_ · Postby **The_Sparrow_** » Sun Feb 15, 2004 4:32 am

No. But the fact that people don't survive walking off hundred foot cliffs is. Unless they have a bungee cord... or a parachute... or wings...
