Nineteen year old with a four year old kid... that scam is the least of his problems I think. Also, it has been done before with iphones and such. |

So he saved up for MONTHS to give his 4 year old an Xbox One.
Riiiight, You can keep a 4 year old happy with gifts that are ALOT less expensive.

Aye.
Who the hell gives their 4 year old an xbox one? Can they even hold the controller?

To be fair the auction was in the console hardware category on ebay so he had no reason to believe that he was buying a photo. And the "clever" naming of the auction doesn't save the scammer either. He might as well just gone full scam instead of trying to be cheeky about it. The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity. |

Have to agree with you. What the hell is a 19 year old during with a 4 year old kid?
When I was 19, my ass was in the Navy learning a skill.
I was 30 when my daughter was born, and I felt to young to have a kid.
Instead of wasting that money on an Xbox for the kid, should have used it for something useful, like condoms or some form of birth control. Find it hard to believe he was going to give it to his son as a gift. I have to call BS on that.
Ok, rant off, feel better now. Surrender is still your slightly less painful option. |

Maybe I've been living in a different country but people having kids at 15 is hardly a new thing. It's pretty much the go-to route for getting benefits and a house.

Maybe it was just the way both myself and my wife were raised, but neither of us can really understand the desire to having a kid at such an early age.
She knows many people that had children at an early age, and some of the kids she works with also have that desire.
Kids are great and all, hell, we have one, but why have them so early? Go live life for a while, do some bat **** crazy stuff, make memories, and have stories to tell your children. That's what me and the wife did. Surrender is still your slightly less painful option. |

There in the UK, earning welfare benefits is a way of living in many cities whose labor supply was disintegrated by Mrs. Thatcher and never again grew back. Today we're talking about second generation welfare queens, and they're breeding the third generation already. The Greater Fool Bar is now open for business, 24/7.

Someone gets it. +1
I am not happy about it but merely raising it. A generation that has grown up without a working role model is not something to be proud of. |

I'm currently one of them, I've had 3 interviews in 2 years, and not through lack of trying. I've been told too old, overqualified, can't pay at a level commensurate with experience (I'd have taken minimum wage, and told them so). Despite a good, though given my employment history mostly specialist and technical CV, I can't even get an interview for a McJob.

Yes it is. Nobody under the age of 18 is even remotely prepared for the responsibility. It's like birthing an elaborate pet to care for at that point.
They are then restricted to staying home to care for the child and not university or anything, so where is the experience that provides the push for the child to excel at education going to come from ? Nowhere. And thus, it self-perpetuates from that generation forwards.

It was also how we propagated the species for many many thousands of years
But not to get cheeky about it..... unfortunately having a kid that young now is completely different then having a kid at that agea few thousand years ago. To make it worse, for some very odd reason, the dumbest parent now still knows more then the above average parent back then |
