I am sorry for misleading many of the Porsche members on this forum with the thread titled as My Birthday Present!!!. The purpose of the thread was to see the types of responses to such a kid that is essentially "silver spooned."

In my AP English 11 class, we were given a social project in which we would see the social response to a certain social criteria. I decided to see what would the response be to kids who were given expensive cars, or toys. The thread was one source of triangulation for my project.

Here is the background info on my project. Earlier this year as a class we read a book called Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich. Some of you may be familiar with the book, but for those who are not here is a one-sentence summary: As an author she decides to work minimum wage jobs and discover whether it was possible to match her income with her expenses. So as a class we were tasked with conducting similar social projects in which we were "actively" involved.

Again I am sorry to all members involved. Personally I don't agree with parents who gift children such expensive toys, that many others would dream to afford. I do not drink, smoke, and I am top 5% of my class, but that does not mean you have to feel okay with me driving expensive cars. I drive an older chrysler to school, and sports, and I am perfectly fine with that.

I hope I can be forgiven for my actions...

I would still like to conduct further research but I guess this time it will be in a more open manner. Please reply in the manner you would have to the other thread YoungTeen 17th birthday present. So what is your response to this statement I have been gifted a Porsche for my 17th birthday present

 

I read the tread and your follow up resonses and frankly I believe you must have known exactly what response you would receive. Your responses to members posts where tailored to elicit the negative responses you recieved. Had you not responded to members posts you would have gotten more useable data. Nothing wrong with using a public forum to test a hypothesis. It's done all the time for many different reasons. Big companies call it market research. Respondents here make a free choice to respond or not. No harm done IMHO.

 

I think the correct term from academia is TROLL. Just what a forum needs is someone doing it on purpose for "research".

 

I fully knew the type of responses I was going to get. I tailored the conversation to elicit such a response, but not surprisingly we've all seen real accounts of such situations and behavior.

The reason i had to do it, was the project required me to fully partake in a personal experience of this social concept.

 

I think your toast kid break out the lagos. 6speed no mercey

 

I read the first line of your OP and stopped.



I hope we can close this thread now.

 

I politely explained to you why your previous thread was locked, and your fake account was closed. Please do not use this forum for research purposes.
