Today felt like a nice day to head to my favorite japanese market of all time; Mitsuwa.
And let me tell you, the only thing not so awesome about Mitsuwa is probably its pricing, which is the only reason why i've hesitated to go there everytime i think about it. But today i wanted some of their food court food <3.
So i went :D
The drive was interesting, while going to Brooklyn to pick some friends up, i didn't notice how dangerous puddles on the Belt Parkway were until i experienced it first hand.
A car drives along the other side and suddenly runs into a giant puddle of water.
The water then ascends upward and makes its landing on to my windshield.
It's like a wall of water! The first time i experienced it i was saying "OMG WTF WITCHCRAFT!"
then i let the more normal part of myself think of a logical explaination and ended up with me staying off the inner lane for quite some time. lol.
Ok, so we're at Mitsuwa and i haven't eaten lunch. After taking about 10 minutes to decide which store would get the awesomeness to fill my stomach, i ordered.
So Joe and I ordered the same dish at the same place and we were standing there waiting for our food when a group of 5 white kids (middle schoolers) came up to Joe and asked him something.
I was right next to him so i decided on being nosy. The kids asked Joe if he could buy a BB-gun for them. Joes first expression was "lol wtf is this kid serious?" and then he answered "sorry, i'm not allowed to do it"
That was dead on the correct answer. My friend Eric has a lot of BB guns, and it's dangerous. (Eric is of age to own a Bb gun)
I was thinking to myself, ok, so kids want to have fun and i don't blame them for it. Everyone has something that they want; *cough* alcohol *cough* and i respect them for having their dreams.
But you see, there are limitations on such dreams. Certain unwritten rules or taboos that shall not be broken for the sake of your intelligence and social standards.
If i was underage, i would have no problem asking my friend to help me purchase a BB gun, social connections, networking, people who are inside my circle of trust. And if they said no, i would respect them and then ask another person xD
But when this person is outside your little circle, i believe that you shouldn't ask such a riddiculous thing.
These middle school caucasian and probably upper middle class children living in a nice neighborhood in New Jersey seem to have no shame for asking a total stranger to help them buy BB guns. And listen to what happens next.
When Joe asked me if i could do it, i quickly responded no; reason being that i don't know you at all and i don't know what you're capable of.
So simple.
And then Joe also said a solid "No."
Good answer! Bad responses.
Then these kids dare talk back and explained natural rights similar to the Bill of Rights like they have a right to be mad in the first place.
I remember the conversation being something like this:
Joe - "Sorry, i can't help you, and you shouldn't be having these things anyway if you're underaged"
Kid - "But it's only right for us to own one, anyone can own one, you just need to be at the age to buy one, cmon, please"
Sentence decomposition:
"But it's only right for us to own one" - WRONG, it's LEGAL for ME and persons over the age of 18 to own one.
"Anyone can own one" - WRONG, 18+
"You just need to be at the age to buy one" - WRONG, that means i can have all the alcohol i want if i just get a friend to buy it for me. Cmon, even I know that it's wrong.
"Cmon, please" - I just laughed at this one. IQ+EQ = low and you expect me to even have the slightest chance to trust you with something that can possible put me in jail? Lol?
Don't try and do something if it's not within your power. (Friends are included in your power sphere, because friends just pwn that much)
Asking a total stranger to buy something illegal for you is already out of the question.
Trying to justify your actions and pursuading the person who has the power to help you is even more idiotic.
That's like me going to my boss saying "Hey Alicia, give me a pay rise, compared to all other lifeguarding facilities, we're making way below average for a lifeguard"
Actually, scratch that, because my argument would be valid if i produce facts, which are certainly obtainable. :D
ALICIA, GIVE US A PAY RAISE.
Back on topic, it would be like me telling the cop who just pulled me over "BUT THERE WAS NO ONE ON THE ROAD, THAT WAS WHY I WAS GOING 120MPH, I DO HAVE RIGHTS YOU KNOW"
I can't imagine myself stooping to that level (or being that stupid) talking to a cop like that and then trying to justify my unjust behavior.
As if breaking the law wasn't enough, we had to be showered with comments that seem to give them negative reputation everytime they spoke a word.
Rule #1) Don't mess with the people who you're asking a favor of.
Rule #2) Don't be stupid, go home and play with your final fantasy 20 (i forgot what # they're on) or go to another mall to pick up chicks. Wasting your time causing trouble is a bad idea.
Jeez, what is their school teaching them?
HakoneDayDreamer, i feel old... because i wanted to say to them "YOU GO TO YOUR ROOM BADBOY!" (in a Russel Peter fake asian accent) and they're just idiots. Sorry if this means anything to all the white people out there, but your race just got a -1 for reputation :( but you guys (a majority) are still cool :D
