[QUOTE=Hullu V3;34641359]Destroying laptop =/= Rape Are you fucking serious?[/QUOTE] It's an analogy. I'm not comparing the extent of damage done, I'm comparing the fact that damage is done.
[QUOTE=Clementine;34641330]And considering how he dealt with criticism about his parenting, I wouldn't say he's not an asshole.[/QUOTE] Come the fuck on. He said they have had this kind of shit from her in the past. And nothing is working, talking, grounding, general punishment is not working. There are few other alternatives. Be thankful he didn't actually hit her, and instead destroyed a replaceable possession.
[QUOTE=Clementine;34641330]And considering how he dealt with criticism about his parenting, I wouldn't say he's not an asshole.[/QUOTE] He's an asshole, because he dealt with the situation in a way that YOU don't see proper.
[QUOTE=redhaven;34641369]and you're fucking stupid. If my son would do that, he is still fucked. So, you're trying the sexism angle now because you morons are running out of ammo?[/QUOTE] Okay I don't really think he was being sexist...in fact I think you trying to strain out a sexism point is really sad, I mean all he said was patriarchal because he is a father...I mean...he is a father come on.

[QUOTE=DrTaxi;34641383]It's an analogy. I'm not comparing the extent of damage done, I'm comparing the fact that damage is done.[/QUOTE] Your analogy reaks of shit, because damage to your material possessions is nowhere in the same field as physical damage done to you.
[QUOTE=Hullu V3;34641419]Your analogy reaks of shit, because damage to your material possessions is nowhere in the same field as physical damage done to you.[/QUOTE] He is comparing the CONCEPT not the magnitude, dude seriously no one fucking understands how analogies work I swear to god
[QUOTE=Hullu V3;34641419]Your analogy reaks of shit, because damage to your material possessions is nowhere in the same field as physical damage done to you.[/QUOTE] ...rape does unrepairable mental damage, not physical damage
[QUOTE=Clementine;34641394]Yes sir, I don't think shooting a laptop is proper punishment, just like how I don't think violence or destruction is logical punishment[/QUOTE] I can't really see if you have a problem with the fact that he SHOT the laptop or the destruction of the laptop, not necessarily by shooting. What if he sold the laptop? Would that make the punishment more appropriate?
[QUOTE=Clementine;34641394]There's always a better way than violence[/QUOTE] Shooting an inanimate object isn't exactly violent, it's not like it felt pain or anything. It just broke. He didn't threaten harm on her person. He just destroyed something to prove a point. What other ways of fixing the problem are there oh great parenting overlord Clementine? Clearly you have hundreds of children who are exemplary models of humans if you know of these fabled ways that don't involve talking to her, which they tried, just to re-enforce that point.
[QUOTE=Hullu V3;34641390]He's an asshole, because he dealt with the situation in a way that YOU don't see proper.[/QUOTE] If someone deals with a situation in a way you don't see proper, you probably think he's wrong, yes.
[QUOTE=Clementine;34641060]You're being incredibly dumb. I mean seriously, saying High School isn't stressful, what a fucking joke. Seriously dude, see my post. Perhaps you had it easy in High School, but that doesn't mean everyone did. [/QUOTE] Well I'm clearly not that dumb considering I managed to pass high school by sitting on my arse every day, not doing a single hour of revision.
A king among men.
[QUOTE=Sanius;34641447]...rape does unrepairable mental damage, not physical damage[/QUOTE] Yes, because rape always happens in a fluffy field of roses and the victim is never beaten or forced.
[QUOTE=Nannak;34638907]I'm actually sickened by most of the misogynist comments in this thread and infact this thread has been labeled has "humor" as if it was "funny". This (the very act of the father shooting his daughter's labtop) is a pure example of patriarchal barbarity.[/QUOTE] When I was a kid I had to work my ass off to even get weeks wage pay, I owed my parents money most of the time, and therefore I did alot of chores, many times things like these would happen. My dad would often at times ground me or take away my gameboy etc. I also got chores which I had to do, think of it as a build up to knowing what to do when you are going to pay for your own house. Overall, these "punishments" made me a better person than I would be if I could just run around in the streets and shout my opinion at everyone. Which FB is, when all comes to all, a modernized version of.

Don't just fucking sit her down and yell at her, or scold her just talk to her on your own accord when she's not really busy. Shit's fucking hard, and that's why people resort to destruction, but such should not be done.
[QUOTE=Hullu V3;34641419]Your analogy reaks of shit, because damage to your material possessions is nowhere in the same field as physical damage done to you.[/QUOTE] It's still damage. Just because it's much, much, much less wrong doesn't mean it isn't wrong. He's still an asshole, not a despicable human being. If you got raped, you'd probably be quite utterly destroyed. If someone wrecked your shit you'd be quite pissed off. But you'd still be pissed off.
[QUOTE=Hullu V3;34641476]Yes, because rape always happens in a fluffy field of roses and the victim is never beaten or forced.[/QUOTE] The physical damage can be bad yeah, but its not really a big problem compared to the mental problem.
I would like to test a theory Vote agree if you had chores/job as a teen/kid Vote disagree if you did not a have chores/job as a teen/kid [sp] I have a feeling that people who experienced it will be on the side of the father and those who have not will be against him[/sp]
[QUOTE=imptastick;34641537]I would like to test a theory Vote agree if you had chores/job as a teen/kid Vote disagree if you did not a have chores/job as a teen/kid[/QUOTE] I didn't have chores. My parents dealt with most things around the house. Of course, I was always glad to lend a hand when needed.
[QUOTE=imptastick;34641537]I would like to test a theory Vote agree if you had chores/job as a teen/kid Vote disagree if you did not a have chores/job as a teen/kid [sp] I have a feeling that people who experienced it will be on the side of the father and those who have not will be against him[/sp][/QUOTE] My parents tried too but I just kept putting them off until they gave up trying to make me do them.

[QUOTE=Clementine;34641606]We're not arguing about the goodness or badness of chores, we're arguing about whether his punishment made any sense at all[/QUOTE] Take something away to punish them when they act out of line, it's like the basics of raising a child.
[QUOTE=Lol-Nade;34635020][video=youtube;kl1ujzRidmU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl1ujzRidmU#![/video] The video in question.[/QUOTE] I am in love with this man [QUOTE=wakkydude;34635815]How can anyone applaud this cunt? She DARED to say something negative about her family and use her free speech rights and her property is DESTROYED? How is this "good parenting"? Good parents don't be immature and destroy people's property for daring to disagree with them. Good parents don't destroy their child's school lives for spreading their opinions. Good parents DON'T DO THIS.[/QUOTE] Afaik, legally he owned it, so it was his property.
[QUOTE=Clementine;34641606]We're not arguing about the goodness or badness of chores, we're arguing about whether his punishment made any sense at all[/QUOTE] It made sense to him, so that's all that really matters. Seriously, who are we to judge?
[QUOTE=Clementine;34641606]We're not arguing about the goodness or badness of chores, we're arguing about whether his punishment made any sense at all[/QUOTE] Having had chores and a job I know it is not that bad, and complaining about it is kind of ridiculous, especially with the chores she had. Most of her chores are just simple helping out around the house.
[QUOTE=Clementine;34641524]Talk to her, let her see what you're doing for her. Don't just fucking sit her down and yell at her, or scold her just talk to her on your own accord when she's not really busy. Shit's fucking hard, and that's why people resort to destruction, but such should not be done.[/QUOTE] And how do you know they haven't tried that exactly? The guy seemed pretty level headed (fuck, to work in IT you need to be, most users are insufferable and you can't say anything bad about them or you risk losing your job), most parents do sit down and talk to their children when there are problems, only awful parents who neglect their child in the first place go straight for shouting. With the example used in the video, she hid it from them, she didn't even want to try and talk to them about it. If she's willing to go around them, and insult her parents behind their backs, without even thinking about vaugebooking like most rational people do. Then she probably isn't willing to talk to them on her own accord, and forcing her to talk to them would probably be more damaging.
[QUOTE=Le Pwnapple;34634848]That's a redneck right there. Got a problem? Just shoot it.[/QUOTE] [quote=Fucking Wikipedia]Redneck is a historically derogatory slang term used in reference to poor, uneducated white farmers, especially from the southern United States.[/QuOTE] He isn't poor, he's educated, and he's not a farmer. The only thing that applies to him is that he's white, and a southerner.
[QUOTE=Sanius;34640975]nobody deserves to be called out and humiliated like that girl was. it doesn't matter how spoiled or whatever she is. now on top of the stress of school, she has to deal with being ridiculed and ostracized[/QUOTE] Maybe she should have thought of the repercussions of talking shit about her parents on the biggest social media network out there.
[QUOTE=wakkydude;34635877]Respect has to be earned. If the child doesn't like something she should be allowed to SAY it. It's called free speech.[/QUOTE] okay, so yeah, buying food for her, buying her a bed, raising her, buying her computer software, wasting his afternoons just to help them, giving her extremely easy chores, all with no thanks doesn't deserve her respect? what is wrong with your fucking standards
[QUOTE=imptastick;34641537]I would like to test a theory Vote agree if you had chores/job as a teen/kid Vote disagree if you did not a have chores/job as a teen/kid [sp] I have a feeling that people who experienced it will be on the side of the father and those who have not will be against him[/sp][/QUOTE] For which there's an explanation. Those who did chores either did them because they liked their parents and wanted to help, which they would expect of every child, or didn't want to do them and were forced to, and were then conditioned into doing them with ever ongoing threats of punishment or actual punishment. I don't have to do chores, and I don't have a job, but if I ever wanted money beyond what my parents would give me (or they started giving me drastically less) so much that I'd work for it, I'd work for it. Loads of money I don't expect to get for free. [QUOTE=Hullu V3;34641626]It made sense to him, so that's all that really matters. Seriously, who are we to judge?[/QUOTE] We may not have legal authority, but we can have our opinions. Just because he's the parent doesn't mean his acts and opinion can't be questioned.
