[QUOTE=carcarcargo;34636876]Erm no, it's his property that he allowed her to use, in no way was it legally her property. [editline]10th February 2012[/editline] Free speech doesn't cover parents.[/QUOTE] It's a gift, so it's legally her property. No where does it say "Gifts are your property ONLY if your dad didn't give it to you"
[QUOTE=MountainWatcher;34637143]Jesus, really? Over here, You're supposed to get a job around 20-years-old and if you're not on college or school.[/QUOTE] Why so late in life? I turned 16 and immediately got out to applying. I didn't get my first job though until 17.
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;34636876] Free speech doesn't cover parents.[/QUOTE] again, show me where in the law this is true. [editline]10th February 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;34637626]Why so late in life? I turned 16 and immediately got out to applying. I didn't get my first job though until 17.[/QUOTE] Not everyone wants to or can get a job at 16.
As long as the girl's uninjured, I see no problem with this.
[QUOTE=Psycoace2;34637674]As long as the girl's uninjured, I see no problem with this.[/QUOTE] That's like saying theft isn't an issue because no one is injured.
I'd love to see her face when she finds the laptop.
[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;34637642] Not everyone wants to or can get a job at 16.[/QUOTE] Well no, but in America the social norm is to start looking for a job around that time where as you're saying the social norm is to start around your early 20s.
[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;34637710]That's like saying theft isn't an issue because no one is injured.[/QUOTE] because this is [i]just like[/i] theft
[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] I take it you didn't watch the video, after all the man does for her, she does this.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;34637726]Well no, but in America the social norm is to start looking for a job around that time where as you're saying the social norm is to start around your early 20s.[/QUOTE] To judge people on that is pretty shitty. [editline]10th February 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=C:\;34637738]I take it you didn't watch the video, after all the man does for her, she does this.[/QUOTE] How do you know? He could be exaggerating to fucking hell. Shit, the fact he publicly humiliated his daughter and destroyed her laptop kinda shows me that he probably ISN'T gods gift to her as much as he says he is.
[QUOTE=wakkydude;34635999]"I did something supposedly nice so I'm immune from all criticism and nobody can say anything bad about me or I will destroy their property"[/QUOTE] That wasn't criticism. That was just being a spoiled cunt.
[QUOTE=Uber|nooB;34637737]because this is [i]just like[/i] theft[/QUOTE] Reread the post, maybe, just maybe, you'll understand what I mean.
[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;34637785]Reread the post, maybe, just maybe, you'll understand what I mean.[/QUOTE] unfortunately your argument makes little sense
[QUOTE=Kalan Yamato;34637776]That wasn't criticism. That was just being a spoiled cunt.[/QUOTE] boo fucking hoo, she made a comment. It's still HER criticism and it's still HER right to say it. It doesn't fucking matter what you think. [editline]10th February 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Uber|nooB;34637799]unfortunately your argument makes little sense[/QUOTE] You can't even differentiate the fact I was saying "that's like saying" to "THIS IS JUST LIKE THIS", so forgive me if I don't claw the walls begging for your opinion on my argument.
[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;34637801]boo fucking hoo, she made a comment. It's still HER criticism and it's still HER right to say it. It doesn't fucking matter what you think.[/QUOTE] explain to me, why does what you think matter more than what others think? i mean i understand why it matters more [i]to you[/i], but why should it matter more in general?
[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;34637801]boo fucking hoo, she made a comment. It's still HER criticism and it's still HER right to say it. It doesn't fucking matter what you think.[/QUOTE] You're obliged to respect your parents, and talking shit about them on a laptop that THEY BOUGHT FOR YOU is a good-old fashion kick to your parents' balls.
[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;34637801]You can't even differentiate the fact I was saying "that's like saying" to "THIS IS JUST LIKE THIS", so forgive me if I don't claw the walls begging for your opinion on my argument.[/QUOTE] there's no point in making an analogy here
What is there to exaggerate? He quoted a post and told the viewer what he did. The video was MEANT for her anyway.
[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] Well since she apparently didn't have a job I highly doubt that laptop was "her property" to begin with.
[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;34637748]To judge people on that is pretty shitty. [/QUOTE] When did I say I was passing judgement? All I did was ask "why so late", and pointed out that in the US, 16-17 is the usual age to start looking for a job.
[QUOTE=Protocol7;34637831]You're obliged to respect your parents, and talking shit about them on a laptop that THEY BOUGHT FOR YOU is a good-old fashion kick to your parents' balls.[/QUOTE] I've never respected my parents, they're dysfunctional, misguided and resent me ever being born because they fucked without a condom and I'm just an STD that grew legs and walked all over their dreams p. sure you aren't obliged to respect anyone anyway
[QUOTE=Protocol7;34637831]You're obliged to respect your parents[/QUOTE] i'm gonna have to disagree with you on that, some people have horrible parents (not like ones that don't buy ipads, ones that beat the shit out of their children). someone being your parent doesn't automatically make them perfect and infallible. however, here it's pretty easy to understand where he's coming from
[QUOTE=Uber|nooB;34637822]explain to me, why does what you think matter more than what others think? i mean i understand why it matters more [i]to you[/i], but why should it matter more in general?[/QUOTE] I never said it did, my point is, what people think is appropriate doesn't matter at all as it's the girls right to make comments. [editline]10th February 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Protocol7;34637831]You're obliged to respect your parents, and talking shit about them on a laptop that THEY BOUGHT FOR YOU is a good-old fashion kick to your parents' balls.[/QUOTE] You are not legally obliged to respect your parents. Doing something nice for someone doesn't make you exempt from any criticism. If the parent has an issue with what she said, be a RESPONSIBLE and good parent and talk directly to them. Don't destroy their property and humiliate them.
[QUOTE=strayebyrd;34637868]I've never respected my parents, they're dysfunctional, misguided and resent me ever being born because they fucked without a condom and I'm just an STD that grew legs and walked all over their dreams p. sure you aren't obliged to respect anyone anyway[/QUOTE] Clearly this father is not like your parents. The fact that he made this video is a testament to how much he actually cares for this child.
[QUOTE=napalm_bomb;34637860]Well since she apparently didn't have a job I highly doubt that laptop was "her property" to begin with.[/QUOTE] Regardless if she bought it or it was a legal gift, it's still her property.
[QUOTE=Uber|nooB;34637876]i'm gonna have to disagree with you on that, some people have horrible parents (not like ones that don't buy ipads, ones that beat the shit out of their children). however, here it's pretty easy to understand where he's coming from[/QUOTE] Well of course there are exceptions. But the fact still stands that she abused the privileges she had to talk shit about her parents and while shooting the laptop may not have been the best choice, it still sent the right message.
[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;34637642]again, show me where in the law this is true. [/QUOTE] Erm, I don't need to bring up the god damn law when it is oh so painfully obvious that the First Amendment is only there to protect people from prosecution by legal arms. A persons parents are not a legal arm so the parents can do whatever they want in response to what she says (as long as what they do does not infringe other laws of course)
[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;34637642]again, show me where in the law this is true. [/QUOTE] I don't really see how the father is infringing on her 1st amendment. She got to make her statement, the father didn't demand to remove it from Facebook. The father is just pissed that he spent $130 the day before upgrading the laptop, buys her a ton of shit and still gets no respect. The father is just expressing himself through a YouTube video, just like his daughter expressed herself through her Facebook status. [QUOTE=Governor Goblin;34637642] Not everyone wants to or can get a job at 16.[/QUOTE] Absolutely true of course. But doesn't this mean that his daughter should be more grateful and less whiny about the things she gets, since she's fortunate that she has parents who do have a real job? She wouldn't have been able to take care of herself without them, so is it too much to ask for some respect?
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;34637894]Clearly this father is not like your parents. The fact that he made this video is a testament to how much he actually cares for this child.[/QUOTE] Or he gets sick pleasure in destroying her property and humiliating her and sugar coats it in "I LOVE YOU AND CARE FOR YOU" See how easily that can be turned around?
[QUOTE=Governor Goblin;34637903]Regardless if she bought it or it was a legal gift, it's still her property.[/QUOTE] Do you think the court would let her press charges for destruction of property? I don't.
