I suppose you could find someone who believes this, but it sounds more like sour grapes and doesn’t add anything to the comment except an eye roll at an entire generation. We can all do better than throwaway comments like this one.
- WalterBright 3y agoSour grapes? My point was he was right. Having to work for the things I wanted was good for me. For example, to get a car I had to work to buy it, and all I could pay for was a clunker. Hence I learned a great deal about auto mechanics, which has paid off handsomely. For example, just today I drove my car after it returned from the shop after some major maintenance. I noticed it was spitting antifreeze out the bottom. Oh crud, the shop must have screwed up the hoses. Looking under the car, the outflow was coming from the radiator overflow hose. This is a normal thing if the radiator overflow tank was filled a bit too much - nothing to worry about. If I didn't know anything about cars, I would have wasted an afternoon taking it back to the shop.
