Today’s teens are, in my opinion, a bunch of entitled pains in the ass. I know, this is a blanket statement. There are many awesome teens out there… I’ve had the privilege to work with a couple of them… but on the whole, they need to be taught a lesson…
This man is my hero. 9 rounds. BLAM! (x9) I would have done it differently… a big hammer… right in front of her, but (according to most people) I am a dick.
This is EPIC PARENTING… It’s like… well… Sparta… but with laptops and bullets… I can only imagine that this is what Sparta would be like today…
“What was that? You feel that you are put upon by your mother and I simply because we ask you to wipe down a counter, sweep the floor and clean your clothes so you don’t smell like the garbage you portray yourself to be?” BLAM! “Take yourself and the shards of your whiny complaint keyboard and get thee to a nunnery, you lazy, pansy-ass, punk child!”
I know… That’s more Shakespearean, but you get the point.
If I had said something like this to, or about my parents… I think one of 6 things would have happened. 1) They would have destroyed my computer. 2) Cut off my fingers 3) both 1 and 2. 4) Buried my body under the house. 5) put me in foster care or 6) slapped me until I was properly contrite.
Soap box time. If you are a teen like this… Knock it off… show your parents some respect… don’t insult them, don’t post disrespectful stuff about them on facebook… and don’t be a self entitled little douche bag… If your father BOUGHT YOU A LAPTOP, SMART PHONE, CAMERA, and IPOD-say thank you… You have no room to complain about the treatment unless you are being neglected or abused; either physically, mentally or emotionally.
Talking like that to people will have one result as an adult… getting your teeth knocked out by someone with worse behavior than yours. And trust me… There are a lot of people out there that are worse behaved than you…
I RARELY click on a video reply link… but I enjoyed this one…
Social media will be the end of us all as we all spiral downward into a pit of status updates, tweets and video reactions that we can’t climb out of and eventually die of starvation and exposure- but I digress. The teen reactions actually give me hope.
I agree with them that the father went a little too far… Not in shooting the laptop, but doing it at home with nonchalance, leads people to the wrong conclusions… Do it Mythbusters style… make a special trip down to the firing range and do it in a safe and controlled environment… and then rent a Desert Eagle (that’s a .50 caliber folks) and blow it up!
Personally… I like the hammer idea… or taking a circular saw to it and giving her the pieces…
