Facebook Parenting For The Troubled Teen

He may have gone a tad too far, but it's damn funny.




And I'm sure he'll end up buying her a new laptop eventually.

I just could not believe how people think so little about the issue. Why do you find it funny? Is there anything funny about a mad father shooting on things as if he were to own the world? If you think of it carefully you will understand the message and it is not a good one. We have a lot of troubled teens in the world and not all parents resort to violence such as what you see in the video to show that he is the boss.

That's very true; it's extremely disturbing to still have anachronistic cowboys in this day and age.

It doesn't make it any less funny, though: it actually adds to it.

However, we live in a violent world, one which very few kids are equipped to face, be it because they're too soft and unprepared, or because they suffer from a King complex.

This Cro-Mag of a father would have been better suited for parenting in the 1960s or 70s, but his heart's still kind of in the right place, trying out the ''tough parenting'' angle without actually using physical or psychological violence directly on the kid.

If he did anything illegal, arrest him; if he merely did something wrong, teach him what's right. But please, oh, please - don't be offended. That's the biggest disease of the early 21st century. Walking on the eggshells of political correctness takes all the humanity out of mankind and will lead to our demise.
