[QUOTE="Dracunos"]You can't call someone spoiled for being given something.. If he like.. Yelled and tantrumed and complained about how unfair life is because he didn't get a laptop and 250 dollars as a gift until they gave it to him.. That's different.. Some people just have money, and some people are poor like me and joined the military and also have money.mrbojangles25
We can call him spoiled if he is ungrateful, though.
Thats how my friend is. His parents paid for EVERYTHING at college and now that he has a 56+k job lined up and his parents said that after he graduates they wont support him any more, he throws a tantrum. Its like "Dude, youre making more than they are...you dont HAVE to live in a house right out of college you know?!"
I'd call a dude spoiled if his parents/grandparents/whoever buy him a lot of extravagant goods that he doesn't need. I had a neighbor whose family ended up becoming rich and the old man bought the kid a freakin Viper! All the kid does is smoke pot and go to the nudey bar, and he is spoiled rotten. He knows he doesn't actually deserve the stuff, and he never brags about it. He's still spoiled, he's just not suck-up and condescending. And for the record, it doesn't take spoiling for some people to become stuck up and condescending - it's just natural to them, I guess.
As for the OP, buying someone (especially a student) a laptop is NOT spoiling them. And even if you are spoiled, just don't be a stuck-up jerk about it and enjoy it while you can!
