That really is very impressive.

What?! An hour and no response to this? This belongs on the front page! I hope Tom picks it up out of the tips forum.

I love me some Nash Metropolitan. And some rotary. And your sis- ...Whoops! #oppositelock

why are you even asking such a question?

rotary + auto + girl = profit

what are the regs for your area as to the use intended, and insurance quotes?

#oppositelock

You all hate me.

Pneumatic controlled valves will sound like a tiny machine gun going off in your engine bay. Also, you'd have to get an air compressor under your hood as well.

But...

Infinitely variable valves FTW! #oppositelock

I posted it before the feature ;)

Fuck it.

I give the man a standing ovation.

Kids these days are spoiled and disrespectful and it pisses me off. Serves the self-entitled little brat right. #oppositelock

Ya know..
While in concept it sounds like its a bit too much.

But I honestly don't like or use shitbook for all of the social and societal ntm privacy implications (same with twatter). I also dont respect either site. There's nothing that goes on there that has much merit.... that cant be done on other sites with the same similar interest.

But the child has to be taught a lesson. The kid gets too much with no strings. As far as the work she has done.. its not actual work. Its chores.

I saw the video..
But Im not "brave" enough to sculpt a post about it.

Dont really want people thinking im some nut who doesnt "do" shitbook / twatter.
Just because everyone else jumps off a bridge.. doesnt mean I do.

I applaud what hes done.
Only way to tell his daughter and their friends the truth about what type of kid she is.. on HER LEVEL. #oppositelock

Raquel Welts beat you to it:

Im also not either...
I tell my wife all the time that I dont want kids for literally 10,000 reasons.
Everything from riding around in a protective CUV cause safety is important... rather than knowing how to drive the damn car.
To having a tv in the backseat.. to shut the fuckers up.
Making technology easier = ipad doesn't make life better.

But then again..
Im a PROUD JEW = VP of the JJSPOY.
I want the kid to suffer. Make ya a better person if ya do without.

P.S
If I found out SOMEHOW that my kid got another laptop from someone else.. because THEY thought that I was being cruel...

Ya haven't seen CRUEL yet. Id shoot that laptop too.

The kid has to get the concept of what NO MEANS. Its not about destroying / permanently permitting the item not being used... its the concept that she doesn't get.

My feeling is..
Somehow she will get another...

A good point.

Of course at this point she's probably famous...maybe infamous...at her school.

Also MTV is pretty evil...with very few exceptions.

#oppositelock

I wouldn't use the word suffer, I'd go with reward for doing actual work not menial tasks. It's what my dad did for me and I'm doing pretty good now.

I'm not a Jew but I have definitely gotten very tight with my money. #oppositelock

As a father, I can understand that guy's frustration. But I'm going to venture that destroying the computer and embarrassing his daughter in front of her friends (and now, basically, the whole world) is going to come back to haunt him. I remember complaining about my parents, saying stuff just like that in my head or maybe to my friends. Had she said the exact same stuff in a journal, we wouldn't be talking about this.

So, call her on it? Definitely. Punish her? Absolutely. Humiliate her in front of the world while making yourself look like a shitty parent? No thanks. #oppositelock

I fear that your method would only make the kid want to rebel more...something about attracting more bee's with honey.

Any way yea, the parents kind of failed at teaching her these lessons when she was younger.
#oppositelock

>shitty daughters aren't born that way.

That's absolutely true. Although it's also true that you can do everything "right" as a parent and still have a kid who makes idiotic choices or is a general nincompoop. #oppositelock

Yeah, I would have to agree with you. My friends come from all sorts of places, one of them was treated very badly by his parents but turned out to be an outstanding member of society, while other... lets say they are not the sharpest tool in the shed..

It does have to do with an individual's upbringing but I think it has more to do with your own personal values #oppositelock

I felt, initially, it was a little over the top but after seeing some of the intelligent and sane responses he's had on his own Facebook page, I truly believe that this is a father that was just at the end of his rope with this kid and short of smacking her around and getting in real trouble, took out his frustrations on something that he can get away with.

Also, laptops are cheap these days and it's pretty clear that, while he can afford to replace it (and who spends $130 on updating software!??!), he's not going to. #oppositelock

D'oh... someone forgot the link

I don't know, dude, I always drove better when I was blizzed.

/note past tense

Yet, it's been shown to be less dangerous than drinking alcohol.

The reason Mary Jane is illegal is because there isn't any money in it. IOW, it's really difficult to generate tax revenue from what is quite-literally a weed.

Why buy when it'll grow pretty much anywhere.

The only place it won't grow, BTW, is Antarctica. I think only glaciers grow, there. #oppositelock

even so, I think anyone who doesn't realize that if it were legal it'd have similar restrictions as alcohol is a bit out of touch with reality.

I'd have no problem with it being legalized, but no driving under the influence please. #oppositelock

C'mon, now.

The whole Say NO to Drugs campaign as been a stellar success, and it's a proven fact, without exception, if you are exposed to second-hand mari-jew-ahnna smoke, you'll be a heroin/coke/meth addict before any buzz wears off.

/sarcasm #oppositelock

IDK, convenience can be a hell of a drug. Ya know, why should I grow this myself when I can buy the really good stuff at the store. That 2nd part being the main point. The government would only supply the best.

But really, you have to convince the people in Humble County to make a move for "The greater good" instead of "The greater profit". At least that seems like the most likely starting point...California #oppositelock

Meh...they don't need the money out there.

/sarcasm

I understand exactly where you're coming from, but if I were not going to be in any way cited or prosecuted, I'd grow a half-dozen plants in a garden out back.

Of course, this also assumes it'll have the same 'value' as a tomato plant. #oppositelock

Yea I'm not ruling out people doing this, and I'm sure the government could just tax the shit out of the seeds..make the really good ones more...put up some regulations saying you can only have x amount.

The end idea is to flood the market so the price goes down, then the government taxes the difference. I still think you would be getting a much better product and it would be instant gratification vs 3 months.

Also could you imagine buying a pack of joints? I can and it's pretty sweet. #oppositelock
