[QUOTE="Lil, post: 630557, member: 17309"] Res ipsa loquitur - the thing speaks for itself. :) Yep...that fits. Amused me to see a legal term tossed out. Maybe I should use the talking to him. It would drive him crazy. My favorite is - reductio ad absurdum -the argument leads to an absurd conclusion. That is most of his arguments. This boy has been his friend for many years, even lived with us for a time when they were 16-17. I actually feel bad for this kid, no decent family, mom moved to Florida to live with her on-line boyfriend and left him when he was 16 - we took him in for a semester then took him to his dad. Only time we ever met his mom was the day she gave us a power of attorney. So we had hoped we could make a difference in his life. It's a pity, he's a talented kid (music) but no diploma, no good role models. We tried, but two teens were too much, especially when we knew/suspected he was part of the problem. Sadly, I think he's trouble. I know the pot thing started at the house he was living in back when they were 16. (He and his mom were staying wit family friends...she didn't work, etc.) The reason he feels my son owes him money is he had saved up from a temp job he worked and was going to move to the college town with son, went down, spent a ton on the two of them (hotels/food/etc.) and then it all fell through. I WANT to know about this kind of stuff. Why should I not? [/QUOTE]
