$1000 worth of a beating he'd get if i were his parent. Luckily for kids, i hate them and would never have one. Ever.

Well then I have one sage piece of advice for you.

Don't drink and park, accidents can cause people.

Can't imagine any app worth a grand.

Next time i wanna buy a $1000 app I'll find an eleven year old to download it so I can claim the money back from Apple.

"There's an eleven year-old for that"

What was an 11 year old doing that required this app? I bet pressed download just for the thrill of it and when it started downloading he freaked out.

Yet another reason (of many) that kids should not be given expensive electronics to play with. I blame the parents for giving the kid an iPod touch in the first place. I am perfectly satisfied with my $29 MP3 player that I bought on sale last month.

Quit trying to shuffle responsibility off on someone else for your mental shortcomings. Sure, people make mistakes, that's life. But to suggest that Apple guard you from your own idiocy - seriously? The current crop of gen XYZ'ers are stuck in that entitlement loop of, "I can do no wrong - it's obviously your fault for allowing it to happen to me."

When I was 11 I knew damn well what I was doing. I got my ass smacked when I got caught, too. It taught me not to get caught.

You don't know what you are missing.

Actually I probably do. Ignorance is bliss in this case.

Amazing how an 11 year old guy got to know about passing bar test??

That's fortunate for humankind. But would you have kids if you can put a tattoo on them like you have on yourself? Children have a surprisingly large area on their back. You could fit a bunch of corporate logos on them.
