True.

Just like the parent in the mall that gives in to their kid to shut him up?

Tmall 12-09-2009 10:08 AM

Sure, if the parents really meant it, they wouldn't give in.

Call it what you want, he won...

Legally they were right and well within their rights.

They didn't have to give in to anything but I'm still glad they did.

Tmall 12-09-2009 10:24 AM

Yup. He was right. Thanks for agreeing.

Anybody else wanna hear " I told ya so"? I have a lot of them left. I doubt ill run out.

They were right. People cave all the time when they're right, when public OPINION is against them.
