Grumble grumble, living with my parents sucks.

Well good luck with that man.

I wasn't being patronizing, I was assuming that Snipelfritz's parents aren't actually evil, mean people out to get him. It was a reasonable assumption and I was apparently right.

Also when you guys are older you'll think about the generation under you in the exact same way. You'll talk to them in the same way. How do you feel about 16 year olds right now?

Whether you intended to or not, it struck me as patronizing and condescending. If that wasn't your intent, ok.

I think of 16-year-olds the exact same way as I think of every other age group. There are some really cool people, some really stupid people and some assholes. And I never assume that I am wiser or have better perspective than someone just because I'm older than him.

I totally agree with what you're saying. I just love your avatar right now in the context of this conversation.
