Default you need more experience, man

Hmmm. You made a few decent points DemonGT, but from what you wrote I can tell which general age group you are in (that is not an insult, believe it or not).

Sorry to hear that's how deep your relationship goes with your parents DemonGT.

i mean when i was still in school i stayed out late all the time and drank and all that..but i pretty much told my parents..im going to stay out late party and skip school...
I guess you think it's cool to stay out late, drinking during school nights . Sorry to hear that too.

I'll be frank and say that I don't agree with most of what you complained about. B4 you get angry at me (although you still probably will), I just turned 24 this month. I don't have kids, not married, and just graduated college May of this year. I remember having the same (probably worse) attitude you have. Like I was, seems like you have your way of thinking and no one's gonna change it-- especially your parents-- b/c, even though they are older than you and have more experience with life (of course not in ALL things, but most) you just feel your eyes have been somehow miraculously opened this early on in life and just know everything. You'll have to learn the hard way like many others instead of listening to people who have gone b4 you and can give you hints to living life. If that's the way you want it, I'd hope you reconsider...I mean, if someone who's been a Ford mechanic for 20 years tells me not to do a certain thing to my motor as I'm building it, I ain't gonna do it cause that person's gonna have more experience than myself.

Yeah, parents do suck sometimes and they are NOT ALWAYS right, but for the MOST part, I'd rather have Billy Glidden working on my Mustang rather than Bozo the Clown.

DemonGT, I hope you don't think I'm attacking you or anything, b/c that is not my intention. Please don't throw anything at me.
