one of the great consistently valid rules of life is "try and imagine the stupidest possible thing anyone could do at any given time, because chances are, thats what they are going to do."
this applies to people in cars, people on games, people in resturaunts, and people in general.
so, before you share your account with someone, imagine the stupidest thing they could possibly do with it, because chances are, thats what they are going to do.

I think anyone could've told you that a younger child is going to do that. If you tell them not to, they will do it. Unfortunate that you lost your guild and all because of this. Hopefully you had some kind of punishment or talk with your son after, thats more along the lines of breaking a trust barrier there.

Im sure you want him to follow in YOUR footsteps, but is that what HE wants? Or you letting the Corps start brainwashing him at this age?

This thread was never intended to be a bashing of my parenting techniques... But if you must know, my son had a choice between fall baseball, football, boy scouts, and Young Marines. He made his choice on his own. He has his own mind and I do not intend to force him to "follow my foot steps." I would really prefer him to go to college and have a nice safe career. I'm fighting now so hopefully he won't need to when he is my age.

I thank your Father for his service and you should be ashamed of yourself for talking about the Marine Corps like that. Boot camp does not brain wash anyone. I was certainly not brainwashed. Some people seem to forget that the advertising logo of the Marines is "the few, the proud, the Marines" That means it isn't for everyone. If you are so weak minded that something as simple as boot camp will "brainwash" you, then you have joined the wrong service and we don't want or need you. I use the word "you" as a generalized hypothetical person. I do not mean to attack you personally. But if you have never been through it then how can you say something like that?

One last thing… Some Marine Dads are like the movies portray, but not all of them are. Don’t stereotype. That’s lame, and disgustingly unfair as a whole.

Look people I've had enough attacking my parenting in this thread. I meant for it to be a funny "watch out" kinda thread. Please stop commenting on my parenting.

Inde · Nov 29, 2005, 03:16 AM // 03:16

MarineCorpsDude, pay them no attention. Notice that those who have made negative comments most likely do not have children of their own. It's the same scenerio that happens time and time again when you are a parent, the world feels it's their job to tell you how to raise your kids.

(And ironically, those who are the most vocal usually do not have children). A crash course that I'm sure you are no stranger to.

MarineCorpsDude · Nov 29, 2005, 03:35 AM // 03:35

Thanks Inde. I know but i had 2 attacks that time. My parenting and my corps. I had to say my piece with dignity.

Stormfire · Nov 29, 2005, 04:32 PM // 16:32

I never understood the reasoning behind software companies saying 'no sharing accounts' or 'you can only install this on one computer'. If I paid my money, I should be able to use it on EVERY computer in my house, and let EVERY family member use it if I so choose. This seems the same to me as Pillsbury saying if I bought those cinnamon rolls, I can't share them with my daughter, or Paramount saying I can only watch that movie on ONE DVD player. If every company followed the same logic as the software companies, you'd have to have one computer for each person in the house, everyone would have to have thier own TV, and you couldn't let anyone else ride in or drive your car. For that matter, YOU bought that house, no one can live in it but you. Seems kinda idiotic to me. This is just a cheap tactic to get more money, and should be stopped.

P.S. There aint no way I'm getting my daughter her own phone and phone line.

And in response to MarineCorpsDude, SEMPER FI!!! Thank you for your selfless service to our nation, and the courage to stand up to your ideals. As a parent myself, I get crap from other people about the way I raise my daughter, (I'm a single dad to a beautiful six year old) and most of these morons don't even have kids.

I share it with my 10 year old little brother. But i have to say it goes pretty well..
Since he is only 10. I can expect he cant go along with my current guild (Rank 6+)
But actually he plays very well with them in Tombs.. He often plays at my acoRED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO and they dont even see it is him instead of me.. only when he goes spamming, and when he types slow.. but normally he plays pretty good.. We make sure we know what we are doing..I have a note and i write things on it.. SO what he is allowed to buy from the faction.. He is not allowed to buy anything from the faction unless his group demands him to get that skill.. When he wants a skill for himself he first has to ask by himself.
This is in true example how it also could work out. In my case he is not that bad because he is (almost) always next to me when i play. So he learns a lot from me.. The way how to behave. The skills he should implent in his characters. When he needs to spike trap or whatever.

He gains faction for me though

Well Me and my brother have been sharing this account for about 4 months now.

We used to separate our own money like i have this much he has this much on his character.

Now since we made 5 characters now and we keep deleting and my brother always asks me 4 money when he needs it so now we share everything and we keep 1k on our characters and all our money is in storage

big brothers and little brothers (14 and 10) is our ages
