In reply to the discussion: Ohio student shot at school gets detention for participating in national school walkout then told.. [View all]I think we are all capable of understanding what you are trying to say. We just disagree with it. I think its funny that you try and dumb us down because we disagree with your point.
When I was young I worked at an auto parts store driving a delivery van. The owner used to drive an old car to work because of perception. But everyone knew what he was doing and knew he had a new top of the line BMW at home. It was one of those gossip things.
I would actually say that is worse. Drive what the heck you want. Why hide it?
Back to your principal. Maybe as a kid he always wanted a certain type of car. Maybe he is single and it helps him attract women. Maybe he wants to fit in with a certain click of people. Whatever the reason, who cares? Its his life and his money to spend the way he wants. He shouldn't not drive what he likes and can afford because your perception. Why should he be punished because he is a principal to not drive a certain car? Truth be told if he was driving a new SUV or Ford pick up truck you probably wouldn't blink an eye, yet those vehicles cost in the 50,000 price range.
Who says he is driving it to flaunt it in your face? Does he brag to you? I have this car & you drive that? Are you assuming that is what he is doing? You said he rubs your nose in it. How exactly is he rubbing your nose in it? Just by owning it?
