i thought it was great

That is one justifiably pissed off man. Love it.

**lewisipso** · 02-10-12, 09:29 PM

Like I commented elsewhere, right after the last round I would have run over it with my Jeep.

And the liberals start yelling about violence, damage to self esteem, etc in 3,2,1...

I would like to buy this man several beers.

**KaiGywer** · 02-11-12, 12:54 PM

His Facebook has gone insane, look at the number of comments on his posts. As expected, he covers the topics above ( violence, damage to self esteem, etc)... apparently his daughter asked him to post other job suggestions than strippers because she wasn't too keen on the idea...lol...at least she had good humor about it

In an update he cites not doing interviews or profiting from it because he does not want his daughter to think you can benefit or profit from this type of behavior. I believe he is auctioning off the shells to benefit her college fund.

well played

"Who taught you how to do this stuff?" "You alright, I learned it by watching you!" A best of breed among some really hilariously bad PSAs.

Fast forward thirty years, here's a dad who is at such a failure to communicate with his daughter he feels the need to talk about her through YouTube...about what she said about him on Facebook. Sound familiar?

A teenager bitching about their 1, 2 or 3 parents? Not exactly an event. Getting caught? Event in their life. You got caught kid, tough luck, you should be grounded for bad spycraft. Yet while I don't care that she's being punished for venting with a keyboard, just what's to celebrate about an angry parent expressing their feelings by venting a laptop?

All I see here are examples of people who find expressing themselves to external outlets easier than resolving family disputes within. Not uncommon, but I find no wisdom in bringing in a firearm when the words aren't working.

No sir, I do not. Also, I'm not a woman so I can't comment on abortion. Sorry, I don't have a direct buy in to this conversation.

I have guns, I have parents, grandparents, many family, all ready for the next hunting season. Never heard once one a shot fired over commentary. Guess I'll claim that as my pass to comment on these folks.

Seriously? If I don't have kids I can't comment?

**JLK** · 02-13-12, 10:12 AM

yep

**JLK** · 02-13-12, 10:15 AM

just kidding. the gun was just a tool as would be a hammer, driving over it or anyother means of getting rid of the computer.

It was an end to a means. I don't disagree with the end, or even the means if he wasn't doing it out of anger. By the time you've set up a video shoot to publicly punish your child you should be in control of your emotions - or someone like me will point out you're being a flaming exhibitionist. This goes back to my original point - Facebook, firearms or Youtube, this family needs better methods to communicate. The web isn't it, nor should it be what others aspire to.

Seems you need to use Facebook to communicate with teenage girls these days. Yet another reason I won't use it.

I did not say that. I was just trying to get a glimpse from you perspective.
