He knows American redneck sensibilities though. I suspect that's his real target audience.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Hmm. Sticking it on the refrigerator door with an A+ on it would've been lacking the latent sexual dominance message. By shooting it with his pistol, which every pop psychologist knows is a penis extension, he was effectively shooting his wad on her whole virtual existence and proving that he was the master of all she could be. But what else could he do, considering her vacuous and behind-the-back assault - ironically addressed to the parents but (intended to be) hidden from them - on him was an attempt to castrate him in a celebratory, yet illicit fashion, then hanging his bleeding gonads from the highest virtual flagpole she could access? Curiously almost absent from this whole mess is the wife/mother figure. She is briefly mentioned as a factor, and yet she is suspiciously supplanted by the not-really-a-cleaning-lady lady, whom the dad defends with obvious passion, whereas the wife is at best an "Oh, and by the way..." cameo appearance. America will never prevent this sort of crisis from surfacing again until it has successfully established a viable moon colony. Once the rocket-penis has invaded and dominated the moon-vagina, all will be as it should be and the American dream will have been realized. Then we can focus on something important, like learning how to play futbol.

What a well brought up son, maybe you should encourage him to set things on fire as well, a can of petrol and matches for this birthday.
Get him onto explosives and when the terminators rise he will be ready to lead the human race to salvation
Why don't you go fuck yourself.

I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

I am in no way implying that your son is a psychopath, you brought up your child rearing skills not me which makes them open to criticism

I agree completely with Gallstones, and there are some "crass and insensitive" comments that deserve precisely the response she gave, so fuck off.

I mentioned nothing about my child rearing skills. I mentioned something my son is interested in doing--shooting no longer functioning devices, inanimate objects.

If you want to bring my child rearing skills into this please note that I was going to require him to clean up after as is the responsible thing to do.

Underlining 'son', so to highlight it, is implying that I am the psychopath.

When they come for me they better have a bigger arsenal than I, cause I'm barricading myself in and shooting it out.
