haha, ya. All I had was the Qj 4x4 which stinks. Guilt is the key to everything

1.You're too young to be making videos on youtube.
2.Why do you have/need a freaking 720p camera?

1. Says who?
2. Why not?

I have a 1080i camera that was given to me from one of my parents millionaire friend who who was amazed that I could solve the rubik's cube. (Treated me to a very expensive restaurant and such)

1. Says who?

Says youtube:

In any case, you affirm that you are over the age of 13, as the Service is not intended for children under 13. If you are under 13 years of age, then please do not use the Service. There are lots of other great web sites for you. Talk to your parents about what sites are appropriate for you.

2. Why not?

1080i? That must be really high-tech. What I'm trying to say is that he obviously doesn't need one.

Here's what I say.

*walk up to mom or dad*
"I owe you $__."
*walk away*

Not intended, Doesn't say he can't use it.
1080p>1080i>720p>720i

Because it's definitely your job to catch out all the under 13s using Youtube, as Youtube clearly cares. Incidentally, you DO have proof that this guy is under 13?

I agree though, James Cameron didn't really need all that expensive 3D equipment for Avatar, a 320p camera would have worked just fine.

It isn't, I just render it in Windows Movie Maker so it is. It's a standard Definition Camera that I got for Christmas.

Cool story bro.

Either suck up a lot or convince them cubing is beneficial. My parents are against buying cubes too but I usually just guilt my dad into it. Or, if you have a friend who cubes and is able to buy cubes see if you can give them money to buy cubes for you. Good luck

Lol. I'm just pointing something out.

I used to ask my mom all the time but since she's so obnoxiously against cubing I'm thinking about creating my own Paypal account. Anybody know if I can just use the Visa gift cards I mentioned before with sites such as cubedepot.com or puzzleaddictions.com or do I need to use it with a Paypal account?

Yes, you can use them. I used one for cubedepot/speedcubeshop/ebay and such. No problems at all. You can use it paypal.

OP: Just ask for it as a gift on your birthday's or christmas

Well, I actually pay my mom in cash, the she gives me her credit card, and I use the amount of cash I gave her.

Can someone explain to me what paypal is. I never use it, and when I try to see what it is, all it says is "It's the safer way to pay". How? Do I still pay with a credit card?

Threaten to call child protective services and claim you were abused.

Basically you link your credit card to your paypal and you can make payments through paypal, without giving other companies your credit card info.

You can also receive payments from other people and use that money to make payments, without having a credit card in the first place.
