[citation][nom]zuesacuatl[/nom]Where did you get that I do not take care of my kids? My family is first, they are taken care of, now if you feel that you could not do what I can, then I understand your train of thought, but still wow, seriously? So you resort to further personal attacks to prove an empty argument and I am not to be taken seriously? Well, for those that understand what I am trying to say, if you truly want to view TV, and you are willing to drop cash on a converter box that will not guarantee reception, then go out and subscribe to an inexpensive provider. If you want it that badly, there is always something else to give up to have the means to gain something else.[/citation]


Obviously you didn't follow my thought process. I'll try again. Listen carefully. According to you you quit smoking in order to be able to afford a subscription to Direct TV. To me that means you put both smoking & Direct TV ahead of your 7 kids. Quitting smoking not only puts more money in your pocket but improves your chances to live longer, both of which would benefit your family. Very simply, your logic ( or lack thereof) impunes your credibility.

Well its good that you can assume, I am proud of you for it. So here it is, again, my kids have what they need, and what they want, smoking was a thing I carried over from my younger years, it was my thing, the one thing that I did for myself, my wife was given things she wanted, and my children probably should not have all the things I try to give them, I wanted something else for myself, so I switched from smoking to sat. I allow myself a small privilege, does not mean I do not care for or do not support my children, it means that I save enough money after supplying my family with needs and wants to get myself a little something. There is no flaw in that logic, there is no hidden meaning, nothing you can pull assumptions out of, it is there, plain and simple logic. Please read it, don't just glance at it and assume, all you are doing is making an ass out of yourself.

Do I wish i could get computer upgrades all the time? yes, have more channels on DTV? yes, but it all comes down to if I wish to do any of that, I must find something that I am supplying that is not a necessity to give up in order to obtain anything else. Again, nothing wrong with that logic or train of thought, now if I said, I can give up milk for the kids for a month to get a new vid card on payday, then hey, you would be right about me, but it is things that I can give up, not what my family can give, unless it is something we want as a whole, and even then I would give from my list first before asking anything of theirs. It all comes back around to if you want something bad enough, you can sacrifice something else to get it. Hell, if you want a good reception, walk to work during the summer time, or carpool, those gas savings can add up quickly.

I am done arguing with you cause I am sure I will not get through to you. The key to a conversation or discussion is taking the other side into account. I do understand that some families are even worse off then me, I am not rich or well off by any means, and if people are in a lower income bracket then me, I understand the lack of funds, all I am saying is there is always a way.

And yes, I know where the children come from, trust me, the smile on my face before, during, and after the process of making them is bigger then life. I enjoy my children, and yes, the sat is a waste of money cause most of my time is spent with them. Good luck in life, and I hope that you can find another person to verbally abuse to make yourself feel better.

I definitely agree with you about one thing. One of us has made an ass of themselves. I'm happy to let the readers decide...as if they care.
