"oh and another thing... you live in the house, you get to help clean it.you eat the food, you get to help cook it, wash dishes, take the garbage out etc etc, you want a ride somewhere, go shovel the snow off the driveway. This is not something you owe your parents! It is something you do so that you do not live in a sh@thole cardboard box. Being polite and civil to the people that you live with is another thing that you must learn from your parents before being suitable as a mate."

"Give me one that uses a solid carapace with cushions or inflation bags (or both) to create a snug fit instead of "seat" belts. Also, why must you "hang" under it?
