Angry Dad Strikes Back At Son

Re: Angry Dad Strikes Back At Son

I'm the kind of person that smiles at all the WRONG times e.g. funerals. It's a nervous habit. So this guy would have been beating the **** out of me by the end of that video.


Anyway, I think humiliation is a great way to teach someone a lesson. It's how young children learn social cues in society. It must work for older people too.

The street was almost empty, the dad fails.

He just looked really bored to me. =/

Also Ground Breaker, if done in a place that supports it and with the proper protection, graffiti is definitely art. And for your 'crime hot-spot' comment I have seen plenty of museums that have walls where people can graffiti and there was no illegal activity going on there. People graffiti, leave, and another person or group comes and paints over it. It's a harmless cycle.

Just take away his xbox or something rofl. Do something effective rather than assume humiliation will cure everything. IMO the son looked like it was just a bothersome task instead of reaping said shame. ?_?

No, I'm aware that there are already places where it's done, I'm just saying that building more places where it's acceptable is a bad idea.

Graffiti is a perfectly legitimate form of artistic expression, it's a style of art rather than a seperate act.

Graffiti artists in my town have been hired by businesses to paint murals on side facings of their building etc, and they take a lot of skill and look fantastic.

Vandalism is vandalism, and the form it takes is irellevant, but just because a lot of vandalism is graffito doesn't make all graffiti vandalism.

Is it Seperate or Separate?
I don't know, I am very much like a stickler for things like spelling in formal situations...

EDIT: Oh, on topic... humiliation isn't the right thing to do for punishment, but it doesn't look very humiliating... it's just a sign showing something he did... I suppose. I've been punished physically plenty of times, but never humiliated...
I think humiliation (if possible by now, for me) is worse than the physical punishment I've received, lol.

Re: Angry Dad Strikes Back At Son

I love legal graffiti. I think it is colorful and when done professionally, can look really awesome! I know you won't listen to "it is art too blah blah blah" but in all honesty, I like it more than most art I see in museums. It takes a lot of skill to do it professionally, and if people want to do it, by all means they should be allowed to somewhere! And to say that they have "better ways of showing art" is not completely accurate. I can draw, but I can't paint. Who is to say that they will have equal abilities in an alternate art form.

Now, as for what this father did, I believe it was perfectly acceptable. If his son had told his father he enjoyed graffiti art and wished to take classes or go to a place where it was legal and practice, than more power to him! But he chose to graffiti irresponsibly. He deserved this punishment.

Yeah it is definitely one of my favorite types of art. There are just so many possibilities with what you can make. One of the coolest things about graffiti though is that you don't have to do it by yourself, a lot of people make groups and they'll work on it together, each person adding their own style to one single piece.

Re: Angry Dad Strikes Back At Son

I'm glad he did that. That's a father trying to lead his son to success, not jail, and not make him join some eff'd up gang where they do this. I appreciate this man, and I'm sure his son could be more understanding.

Re: Angry Dad Strikes Back At Son

I agree with you Sappy 100% except I doubt this is going to have a lasting effect unless his dad keeps on doing this every single time he does something wrong and maybe something more if he does it again and again. Personally I believe in not beating but intimidation. My dad is ****ing scary and ever since i was a kid I knew that. If I did anything wrong on purpose such as pulling on the blinds as a kid he would rage...to this day, I'm 17 and scared ****less of doing anything wrong because I know my dad would rage. We still have a healthy relationship...it's just I don't do stupid things I guess. My friends call him Red when he's not around from that 70's show.

He should just hit the kid instead.

Re: Angry Dad Strikes Back At Son

That's ****ing awesome! Hahahaha sucks to be him."If you smile I'll make sure you never smile again." lmfao. Personally I think graffiti is great as long as it doesn't say "Cock", "Penis" etc. because it gives otherwise completely dull, flavorless buildings something remotely interesting to look at.

By the way Zybanthia-I agree fully with Placebo FX. I think the punishment was taken seriously. I remember when I was younger my mom would yell at me and there was no way I could keep a straight face. I just inexplicably smiled and had trouble stopping. Even on the times where I was sorry/regretted what I did. It's just how some people are.
