[QUOTE=Dirtbox;23897084]The problem isn't about allowing him to drink inside, the problem's that he's getting grounded at the age of 19.[/QUOTE]
Yes I agree that's pretty sad his parents ground him at 19 but there's not really a rational way to deal with it besides just taking it until he moves out.
If he throws a little fit ( or as you guys call it, "standing up") then that just creates more problems, which are unneeded. It's not really worth having prolonged grief or even getting kicked out of the house just because you got caught having drugs at a party. I just don't see how it's worth it. He only has to deal with this bullshit until he goes to college.
[QUOTE=Bassplaya7;23885474]Alright guys, for those telling me to grow a pair, what do you suggest I do? Since I don't drive and live in their house, I kinda rely on my parents, especially since they're going to pay for me to go to college.[/QUOTE]

how long do they put you through high school there?
You're letting them blackmail you with their money, either take it and shut up or say fuck you and move out.

You gotta be able to finish at the age of 18, right now I'm too old to go to normal school so I'm going at the Adult's School.
High school usually lasts 5 years, but I failed 2 times so...

Why do you need to fail 2 times? Anyway, it's good that you are still going to school...

He's 19, he can make decisions for himself. If he carries on letting his parents bully him around he's not going to have fun. When my parents found i smoked bud i just told them to stop being so close minded about shit and just live a little and that seemed to work.

Damn, dude, don't be an asshole, I remember a [URL="http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=954450"]TIME[/URL] when you needed help, there was plenty opportunity to be an asshole there. If you're seriously a snob who thinks they're better than others because you have a high school diploma, you're worse than the workers at McDonald's.
To everybody who says I didn't need to fail twice, yes that's true, but when I was a child, I wasn't giving a fuck about my future, because I just didn't realize how simple and easier is it to go at school when you're a kid.
Now I understood a lot of things and gained a certain level of maturity, which is why I decide to stay at school and do what I want in my life.
Actually I'll end my high-school next year if everything goes fine, and then will do a 1 year-diploma, to finally repair computers and install wires/network. So fuck that idea of yours, thinking I'll work at McDonald's.
I thought the mass use of capitalization would have given you guys the heads up as to that being a joke. No?
WELL THEN MAYBE ITS BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA?
(also a joke for those of you for aren't fortunate enough to pass high school in the normal amount of time)

I'm actually in my senior year of high school AND my sophomore year of college. How? My school is dual enrollment. Which means in many basic classes, you can enroll in the college level version of it. You receive the high school credit AND a college credit. When I graduate, I could receive my bachelors in 2 years if I wanted. I think I'll try for 3 years though. Don't want to skim anything pilot related.
[editline]01:13AM[/editline]
To be honest, dual-enrollment is a big joke and very ill prepares you for real college

The Afghanis shot down MIGs with them in the 80's, and since the F-117 is from the same era, it wouldn't really be any much faster, so all I need to do is lock onto your heat signature.

I could be wrong but the F-117 is pretty old hat now. Stealth systems are constantly being outwitted by more sophisticated radar, thermal imaging, motion sensing etc. I think stealth is impractical for most combat these days unless it's a submarine or a helicopter.
or the f22 raptor
[IMG]http://www.kitsune.addr.com/Rifts/Rifts-Earth-Vehicles/F-22_Raptor.jpg[/IMG]
Isn't the F-22 being pulled? It's far too expensive and unreliable.
Is it? Damn.

oooo I'm mistaken. The SR-71 holds the airspeed record.
[IMG]http://i36.tinypic.com/idhzpv.jpg[/IMG]
Stealth is still incorporated in many developed aircraft. The F-22 for example, is state-of-art and is probably the stealthiest there is.

locking on to a strafing MiG in a ground attack pattern is much different then attempting to hit an aircraft cruising at 5000 ft

Expensive? yes. Unreliable? No way. That baby can do anything. If we ever get into a modern war, they will definitely mass produce them. The F-35 line was created as a cheaper alternative because we only see small-scale peacekeeping missions in our future for now

[QUOTE]The Stinger missile is something that appears in the news every time there is an armed conflict involving United States forces. It also appears after certain airline accidents -- the one involving TWA flight 800 is a recent example. The reason we hear so much about the Stinger in these contexts is because the Stinger missile is an extremely effective weapon for shooting down aircraft. The missile uses an infrared seeker to lock on to the heat in the engine's exhaust, and [B]will hit nearly anything flying below 11,000 feet.[/B] [/QUOTE]
Oh shit.
[QUOTE]Here are the stats on the Stinger missile:
* Length - 5 feet (1.5 meters)
* Diameter - 2.75 inches (7 cm)
* Weight - 22 pounds (10 kg)
* Weight with launcher - 34.5 pounds (15.2 kg)
* Explosives - 2.2 pounds, impact fuze (explodes on contact with target)
* [B]Speed - 1,500 mph (2,400 kph, Mach 2)[/B]
* [B]Altitude Range - Approximately 11,000 feet (3 km)[/B]
