I am an only child and I was a complete and utter dickhead to my father when I was a teenager. Now part of it was him not staying the fuck out of my business - but looking back on it I'm glad he was all up in my shit.
I distinctly remember coming home after my freshman year of college - fresh off a stellar 1.75 GPA. He sat me down and read me the riot act. At the end - he looked me in the eye and said "it's your life. You can choose to fuck around and drop out or you can act like a fucking man - get your collective shit together - and not make a mockery of yourself". I cried for what seemed like the entire day. However - I graduated in 4 years with a 3.1 GPA. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. And guess what? It didn't involve a fucking gun.
Now I know there is no guide on how to best parent a kid - but I have to think there must be a better - a more sane way than unloading a full clip into a fucking laptop that you just spent $130 on software (And by the way - $130 for software upgrades? Is it 2001?). If it got the point across more power to him and his daughter. I'm not going to pretend I know what it's like to raise a child - nor am I going to sit here and lambast this dude for his parenting skills (or lack thereof - depending on how you viewed the video). I do know (just through common fucking sense) that girls need to be protected and coddled by their fathers. If that guy is my father - I'm beyond embarrassed - but not for the right reasons (not understanding what a selfish twat I was being but more like "holy shit my father is fucking loony tunes and now the entire world knows" type shit - even though the cowboy hat was a dead giveaway).
The irony is the father made this entire charade about him when he was attempting to teach his daughter the finer points in life about being selfish. That's what bothered me the most about the video.
