Hmmm...wow. Ok, so am I "childish" if the 7 Eleven I have been going to for years suddenly decides that my 1.99 Big Gulp now has an added surcharge of .25 cents for the cup... and I am not happy about that and feel it is wrong since the cups have been free up until now? Am I somehow more mature because I just accept it and pay it?
I really feel like that last line is a little insulting (You know similar to the way some claim the "
4E IS DUMBED DOWN" Line is just saying it's simplified but it still offends some). I mean it's cool to argue your side, but really the whole "child" line is a thinly veiled cheap shot because you have a differing view from some of the other posters.
And yet another word from our sponsors
