I suspect your parents are both loving and very giving to you; they only want you to succeed and not have to struggle through life but you're too immature still to see that. Not a rip on you, we all did similar.

Hopes and emotions don't get you where you need to be. Any undisciplined animal of a human-being can do that. Only by adapting the mindset of Vulcans' like Spock can we move humankind forward.
I enjoy the struggle of life. It gives it meaning. It's a potent, addicting drug really. No one is entitled to anything, Robby. Your children will not inherently have a better life than you. Hope all you want with your pacifist ways, but it doesn't seem to be working too well.
I am the Sith'ari.
Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.

Who said anything about emotions and hope? No one except you. Seems your parents are hard on you(or you think they are), it's because they want you to succeed in life, not kicking back on their asses and hoping you will succeed. I'm similar with my kids when it comes to school, I'm a hard-ass, because I care, it will only increase the older they get.
You seem to have forgotten things like the desire and frustration which are emotional and certainly have led to the advancement far beyond the scope of simply thinking your way there.
Such as your desire to be like a vulcan, even though you can never remove your limbic system, you can train it with enough desire and intensity and drive.....(emotions.)
Kurk's very confused, he acts Vulcan one second, then claims to be Sith-like, who are ruled by their emotions and feed into them for their power, the opposite of what Vulcans do by suppressing all emotion. Except of course every seven years when it comes time to mate.
edit: Mark your calendar Kurk, you can try to get laid again in 6 years.

Do exceptionally immature 19 year olds successfully work in emergency medicine? I've literally seen people come close to death, I have stuck Narcan into people who overdosed on heroin to revive them, I've seen gun-shot wounds, shitty car accidents that cripple people for life. It's not exactly a field where immature, emotionally unsound people can thrive in. I'll upload my credentials if you don't believe me.
I accept that I can only suppress so much. I have emotions, but I never allow them to supersede rational. I get angry, but instead of feeding the beast I meditate it away into long-term energy. Basically, like Raven, I meditate whenever I feel myself losing control.
Well my favorite sith, the one I look up to, is Count Dooku, who is not the traditional type. He brings to the sith his jedi training. Dooku is always very calm and collected, never allowing his emotions to get the better of him. I don't look up to raging sith.
So perhaps the light-sith order is better? Or maybe the Jensaarai?

Regardless of your opinions on Facebook, you have to admit that the Senators questioning Zuckerberg have likely never opened an internet browser before. Such profoundly dumb questions coming from a group of the most powerful human beings on the planet.

Yeah, I've had 3 Facebook accounts, my first 2 existed 5 years ago and I had a great time using those accounts for the few months they existed before they got deleted. But when I created my third account, Facebook life became shit and useless for me for 3 years, but it's improved a lot in the past 6 months, and ever since then I've used and enjoyed it a lot more.
F#$# Facebook. I hate the site, have never had an account, and never will have an account. The site is directly responsible for a lot of problems in our society, and it makes me sick to my #$#%#%# stomach.
Years ago, someone told me I HAD to get a FB account, because everyone else had one. Yeah, right.
You can take your FB site and stick it where the sun don't shine.
Here are some examples of how FB ruins people's lives:
