> I got a head start

You know we're nearly too far lost when even someone like you thinks you got a "head start" because you were simply parented. You probably didn't even realize how that guilt shined through into your comment!

My parents were/are awesome and I will NEVER apologize for it.

Claiming to have a head start is not apoligizing for something. It's recognizing that you benefited from something you had absolutely no control over.

It's really great that you have awesome parents, and that means you're much better prepared for life than people who were not lucky enough to be born to such awesome people. That's not an apology. That's a description of reality.
