You know, I think Morgoth's right: you just don't understand unless you're the father of a girl.
I have a daughter that I would kill (as in kill other people, not her so much) to protect from harm. BUT, I would never think to shoot a guy she's having consensual sex with. Chances are I'd toss the guy across the room a little and boot his ass out the door naked (since I find it more than a little disrespectful to pork a guys 16-year-old daughter in his house when there's a chance of getting caught).
But put 4 bullets in the guy? Sorry, you guys are either psychopaths or internet wannabe superheroes. Guess which I find more likely.[/quote]
I don't believe I'd have it in me to actually shoot the guy, but I do believe I'd slam him into the door-jam a few times before branding him on the ass with the embossed Nike logo on the bottom of my shoe. That would at the least make him think twice about pulling that kind of crap in my house.

To be honest, I think Morgoth's subtly extracting the Michael here. Some of his comments seem just a little
too OTT.[/quote]
What?
If you're implying what I think you're implying, you can go straight to hell in a hand-basket.

I guess this just isn't something people without kids would understand...
I have kids, a boy and a girl, and I don't understand this ridiculous attitude. I was once a teenage girl and got caught screwing my boyfriend in our living room by my dad. He didn't shoot my boyfriend, beat him up, or do anything other than to calmly tell us to get dressed. Later that night he pulled me aside and said that if he ever caught us again he would tell my mom.
If I was being raped, I'm sure my dad would have made the guy disappear.[/quote]
Okay, I mean this in the nicest way, but do some of you understand the concept of exaggeration? My first comment, "I'd like to shake his hand" was a joke. It's a play on the gag that many American fathers say they'll shoot their daughter's boyfriends and bury them in the backyard. Sigh...
I can see myself doing what your father did to picking him up and throwing the kid out of my house, but I would never shoot someone. I don't seem to know where these allegations are coming from? I don't understand why I'm being made a bad guy here because I can sympathize with a father wanting to protect his daughter?
