My Parents Strike Again

[fr0d0]

In the style of a Kung Fu master Dotard. I like it!

Did your father even look at this forum? Did he read any threads? If so he would have seen this place is not encouraging death and destruction. Your best bet is to talk to him, not hack into the computer security. You should try to explain your feelings. In his mind he thinks he's protecting you. Someday you'll have kids of your own (wait until at least 30) and you'll do stupid shit to try and protect them too.

I agree with Dotard,

The rules should be obeyed until LG moves out. It would be great if the father would open negotiations on the subject so you can have some input on the rules, but I don't see that happening. My own parents were less than interested in many of my ideas on how the household should be run, and most parents I have met have a similar outlook on things.

Good luck man, just realize that acting like a lawless heathen will only further solidify your father's negative opinion of atheists and could drive a wedge between you and your father.

I has a keylogger on my comp, I mostly use for retrieving lost data I've typed. Even saves specific things like chat conversations in seperate section and takes screen shots when activity is noticed. Keeps web browsing history and all that fun stuff.... mostly for my reference though... If he ever put a password on his AP (if he ever puts it up) I could just check my keylogger out.

The proxy suffices for me, I love learninginvestment.com/a I use it for school most oftenly b/c the school not only blocks bad things from us, but also can't distinguish the good things either and blocks very good resources from everyone, like wikipedia, and AFFFFF!! AF has been a useful resource even, with its search option, can almost find anything I need. You guys rock!

I'm not sure if he's looking out for me as much as just being against anything other than his own religion (Bigotry). I don't think he's been through the AF at all, or not. I looked throught this history and found that my entry was still there, but not any additional ones.

Funny how you all are advocating ways around the rules of his household rather than encouraging him to abide by the rules and suck it up until he's out on his own.

Isn't that be the better thing to do? If the law is illogical or unjust: why follow it?

The basic rule is what can be done... and what can't. Built atop this are our individual jurisdictions. Why follow the jurisdiction of another when it contradicts directly one's own? How can illegality be frowned upon in the face of the unjust law? Do not the Americans support their previous 'Revolutionary War'?

Why encourage another to play the maid... when the self is the master of her will?

[littlegrimlin1]

Well said Sae, the corrupted cannot see the corrupted. I think I can just use the proxy safely, as long as he doesn't notice.

I don't feel like talking to him about it unless he brings it to me. He hasn't mentioned a thing about what he did. (blocking AF) So, I'll just wait. It's more of an emotional bother than anything, I think.

Understand that positive reinforcement prevails over punishment every single time... and you will commit very little "stupid shit". You don't so much own the child (because that would be slavery of course, and how could you expect a slave to be happy with the master who commonly exercises their ownership over them??) as you are charged with the responsibility of training and equipping them for life. A poor parent it is... that would hold primary focus on keeping their child 'safe' and 'innocent' from the world... for in so valiantly protecting the innocent, and then setting them free: they have done naught but leave their child without the experience that would have prepared them for their life.

Many children experience their 'life' outside the influence of their parents... many more experience it along with negative parental influence attempting to interfere with the life their children are trying to have. This is where "rebellion" takes root... when a person must go around 'the authority' so as to avoid punishment for doing something restricted. This has its root in punishment and in restricting things itself. Avoid punishment... and allow a great deal of room to move in: and you will avoid rebellion.

The disappointment of one person we like/love... hurts us 100 times as much as the disappointment from a person we dislike/hate. And disappointment from someone we love is 100 times more likely to change our behavior through our genuine guilt... than 100 lashes could ever inspire enough pain or fear to accomplish.

True, but most people learn their parenting skills from their parents. And most parents suck at the job, they just muddle through the best they can. It's a tough job that many people are completely unprepared for.

My mom turned out to be a good parent, although her parents were bad and did drugs most of the time after she was born.

Uh... jail? Work to change it if you must. Follow it until then if you prefer to avoid incarceration.

And sorry, his house his rules. His house, he has the right to be a bigot within. Don't like it? Move.

Continue the attempt to educate yes. Incite revolution within my castle? I think not. OFF WITH YER HEAD! :p
