In Reply to: It does not pay to help today's younger generation out!!! posted by JDseller on September 05, 2012 at 22:07:13:

Who owned the tractor in the first story?

Who owned the wagons in the second story?

Seems to me, once a person owns a piece of property, whether real estate or personal property, it is the OWNER who has the right to decide what to do with it.

If you wanted to exercise control over the property, you should have retained ownership and never sold them to begin with. While your intentions are more than honorable...getting angry because someone sold a piece of property that was THEIRS, without consulting YOU for permission, seems to be a little out of line to me.

The guy who sold me my home 18 years ago has NO SAY over what I do here anymore; and so it is with the young men you mention. The previous owner of my house didn't get a say in my decision to replace the 30+ year old aluminum siding with vinyl, or about the new guttering, soffiting, or replacement windows I installed. WHY? Because it's no longer HIS house, and HE isn't paying MY bills. Now, perhaps these young men didn't make the WISEST moves; but their wisdom, or lack thereof, is ALL you really have any RIGHT to question.

So I would calmly suggest that you GET OVER IT and move on. Just because these two young men didn't do what YOU wanted them to do with THEIR OWN PROPERTY is really none of your business. "Trying to help someone" does NOT give you control over what they decide to do with property YOU NO LONGER OWN...that's the BOTTOM LINE.

THAT's what's wrong with the younger generation; they think that, because THEY own something, THEY have the right to decide whether to keep it or sell it, and how to use it...right? Because that's what this is all about: you being able to tell someone else what to do with something they own. That crap MIGHT work with family, but rarely does it go very far with non-relatives.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
