Racenilatr, what the fuck man? You lost my respect. Seriously, kids these days are so ungrateful.
You actually had respect for him?
I can't believe I missed all this, but it was an entertaining read for the morning, I was so happy to see him have a locked icon, perhaps he may use that time to help his family out instead of complaining about being 'poor'. I couldn't believe what I was reading but after he flew into a rage I just laughed out loud.
I hope he reads this thread again and takes a real hard look at himself.
(Also of all your terrible blogs, this was your worst one. You hit a new low imo).
Your Father was supporting your entire family by himself. For fifteen years. That is as long as you have been alive.
For every single second you've existed, your Father has been there, working to make sure that you've been provided with everything necessary to survive and more. Sounds like you've been living pretty comfortably and if your biggest concern in all of this is that your awesome phone is going to be taken away, you seriously need the reality check that's been given in the responses to your original post.
I wonder if you could take a moment to consider your situation from a different perspective. Go here Refugee Camp Online, view the slideshow and read. Now, this may be a wake up call or a great big guilt trip. You could say, well fuck them, all suffering is relative and these people have nothing to do with me. Or you could weigh up how insignificant the loss of a phone is when compared to losses these people have experienced.
Empathy and understanding aren't easy things, they need to be developed and if you've never had to live through something that is genuinely horrific then the issues you're facing at the moment may seem like terrible things to you. It could be that you're using your blogs here to provoke people into arguing with you as a way of venting your anger, maybe in real life you're not such a dick and you're genuinely worried about your Father and your family. If that is so, you need to remember that the people here also have cares and worries of their own, they come here to relax and unwind and if you deliberately create provocative posts and respond to their replies with a shitstorm of insults, you're not doing anyone any good.
If your blogs really are serious then you need to wake the fuck up and realise that there comes a time in your life when you need to stand on your own feet and be there for someone else. You original post was given in simple terms, you made things seem trivial with your own words so don't expect us to know the exact details of your life, the nature of your relationship with your parents and what you're like when you're not on TL. This is the internet, people will judge on the information you give them and on the way you react to their posts and advice. Being totally honest, in this thread so far, you've come across as a furiously angry little shit who has put more effort into a hideously insulting reply to anyone who felt that your life didn't actually suck than you have into giving people a genuine reason for responding with sympathy and compassion.
My advice to you is that you should get the hell off the internet and talk to your Father about this. Listen to what he has to say, ask questions, try to understand how he feels and why he's doing this. He is a human being, a man and more importantly, he is your Dad. He has a right to live his life and to expect support and love from his family when he needs it. I don't imagine that this has been an easy decision for him but consider that if what you say is true, then he's been feeling an incredible weight of responsbility for fifteen years now. He's had to go through the pressure of being a husband, a Father and the provider for your family whilst travelling around and spending time on his own. That can wear a person down both mentally and physically so if his decision is a sudden one then maybe he's concerned about his health.
Parents don't always tell their kids everything, they have a tendancy to want to keep things easy and simple. So prove to him that you can behave like an adult, even if you're not quite there yet. Be there for him and for your family. The economy isn't great but work can still be found, it wouldn't be difficult for you to find something to do that could bring in extra money and you could then take pride in the fact that you're doing something positive that will benefit both you and your family.
And lastly, people will be a lot more inclined to respond to you with support and understanding if you're willing to take criticism and want to find solutions to your problems rather than seeking unconsidered agreement and a quick sympathy fix.

I actually remember you trying to help him out, you have a big heart sir (for trying to help him out, everyone normally just laughs at him). Think he is beyond saving though.
Edit - Also the post above mine is straight up awesome.
I remember Racenilatr left SC2GG and came to TL because people were mean to him. Seems like nothing has changed... Although he's become more hilarious ^_^ Although he can play a lot better now :/
lol kid bitches and moans with his undeserved sense of self-entitlement and has the nerve to demean his father for not giving him more hand outs
im embarassed for how your dad must feel having raised such a little ungrateful shit for a son. He's done the world a disservice and cant take it back.
Grow up you ungrateful ingrate, your father's decisions were made not to spite you. He is smarter, wiser, older, and more responsible than you. He isn't just quitting to fuck with you or ruin your life. Keep that in mind. Also, just because you won't have excess cash laying around doesn't mean your life is over - life is what you make of it. Stop being a pussy.
See you in 90 days, hopefully you get smarter when this situation settles and you Basically what Arnic said, I didn't read the thread much just skimmed.

you can't even come up with theoretical explanations?
(sorry you're so fun I gotta get in on the arguing)
Glad I can contribute to your entertainment. Can I charge like 5$ a hour or something? Seems a reasonable fee.
In this economic climate, and with no other job lined up? Nope. Family goes before yourself. That's what it means to be a parent and a husband.
Maybe money is less important to him than some other stuff. If his family starts starving, then I think it is an issue worth bringing up.
anyways I feel bad for the OP now. he loses his phone and goes through some shit, then posts here looking for some sympathy and instead gets a storm of disagreement and insults
he then proceeds to get upset about it, and gets banned. poor guy
if you're reading this blog race, jsut learn from it. the people here may be assholes but they are teaching you a valuable lesson.

I'm keeping him honest. He's in the Coast Guard Officer Candidate school which means he's not risking anything, but he gets a great education out of it and he'll likely get an analyst job once he's done. All of that is perfectly fine and he is serving the country, except he romps around here and claims military authority as if he knows what it's like to serve in Iraq, and he doesn't.
Nobody I know in the military carries themselves like he does and the general rule of thumb is people who are the most gung ho in public have done the least.
I'm not an Officer, nor would I want to be. Secondly, where have I said anything about knowing what its like serving in Iraq? If I wanted intimate details and knowledge (Which I have done, but I don't advertise it on this site), I'd talk with my Uncle who served multiple tours over there before he retired as an Army MP.
I get my education from TA which every enlisted person can get. I also receive college credits for attending C-Schools, Advancing, and other related activites.
If you dont think in the eyes and mind of a servicemen that civilians complaining about having to be away from their family for a few days is hilarious given the context that we are in (You do know the CG is a SEA-GOING service right?). I was merely pointing that out.
you quit complaining too. don't you know that some people live on house boats? thats literally a house thats a boat, they are AT SEA 24/7
you have no idea how good you have it, infidel swine

from rickety old houseboat to cozy beach side cabin. your value would skyrocket!
So. Losing a phone is the end of the world? Wow. I guess I shouldn't have been so worried for the past month when I couldn't find a cosigner for my student loans guys.

Your sentence is about the same length as mine, nerd. I do enjoy your half-assed attempt to insult me without doing me the courtesy of even reading any of the posts I made. Thank you for that.
