My boy has already been the recipient of this. he showed up and the dad was cleaning some rifles.

And what happens when the guy just doesnt care?

If you don't like him you invite him in for a cuppa and put contact solution in it (It's a laxative with ~2hr delay) and protect your daughter's virtue by chemical means.

Close. You invite him in, then you open the gate to Team Wienie. Some have compared that to the gates of hell. Those people are optimists.

And if anyone tryed any of that with my son (or daughter) they would have the police to deal with. Bullying and poisening a teenager. Ye, real big...

Is a joke! Jeez. I find threatening people with guns repugnant but you don't see me jumping up and down about it here.

Oh, and dealing with fathers like that is a mark of manhood in a way. If you pee your pants in the face of it you don't have any stones and don't deserve the girl. I have been through it, it didn't scare me and as a result I got on with their dads better than boys who wimped it.

If a boy is taking my daughter out I want him to be able to stand up for himself and my daughter should he need to (not that my daughter wont be taught to look after herself).

Exactly!

Then he doesn't come back.

I'm sorry, find me the teenager who doesn't care about a shotgun, and I'll show you: 1) a priest; or 2) someone not long for this earth. What exactly are you arguing?

I think he means "what if he isn't bothered by the shotgun talk" rather than what if he doesn't care about shotguns.

I myself love shotguns yet a shotgun talk is unlikely to bother me, if I'm meeting the parents then it's at least a semi-serious relationship so I don't need threats to treat her right. I say her as somehow I don't quite imagine the fathers of men giving me shotgun talks.

See this is a weeding mechanism. You start talking gun talk and 1) well you just got invited shooting. The wife will make sandwiches. 2) you passed the test.

Why out a father? Air crew do this to annoying passengers ALL the time. It's just eye drops it doesn't kill it just makes life a little inconvenient for a while.

Not that I would deliberately do this to a teenager.

Because its illegal. its considered spiking a drink. as in attempted poisoning.

In my experience just not being intimidated earns respect.

Then again, being the sporty type (and preferring similarly athletic women), means I have a lot in common with most dads.

Exatly. Its a test. Dogma has passed the test.

OT but I royally yelled at this couple at the range yesterday. They were standing behind the Wife and I (we were at the firing line) and he started messing with his pistol.
1. not supposed to have a pistol behind the line.
2. not supposed to be messing with it.

Wife says she hadn't seen me this mad since like, the day before.

Because i always seem to be single on it and i get jealous and deppressed thinking about all the other couples out there having a good time whilst im all alone on my own. its sad really but there you go

Daughter (D): Is it true that before a boy can kiss me you have to meet him and get to know him?

Me: Uh, yeah, aren't you a little young to be worried about that?

D: I know I have to wait until I'm 19, I'm just checking.

given that you refer to a lil chinese girl you are raising. i guess that you might have known some chinese traditions. right?

There was a book written by an ex-prostitute (her nationality is Thai) who had been jailed in various countries (presumably, for prostitution but nah. i think it's more on the association with organized crime, particularly on the ground of illegal migrations). she cited that she began the road to perdition by having a premature sex with her first boyfriend. once broke up, she got pregnant and had no job, no money to raise her kid. this was the beginning of her H.O. career (In thailand this thing is illegal, but because the local gangsters (usually Triads) are powerful, you'll still see prostitutes here either in Khaosarn street, Pattaya, and elsewhere.) she began this career in Pattaya, but i'm yet to read that book to see how many countries had she been jailed.


it's better to keep you lil kid a virgin till she's 19. so you did a good thing.
