Ok.
Pretty much this. If you have to act like a child to "parent" your child, then you shouldn't be allowed to make them.

If you stopped for a moment and considered the problem malcontents create by raising a child improperly and contributing nothing to society, then its logical to think that certain people shouldn't procreate. A father who stomps around like a toddler instead of actually addressing the problem with his child is someone who shouldn't be making any more genetic copies of himself.

So can we neuter all the welfare families now?

I thought the video was hilarious, but that he probably went a little overboard.
The daughter sounds like a spoiled little twit who needs to be taught a lesson, but I'm not sure that lesson should be a video of her laptop being destroyed that gets posted on facebook to publically humiliate her. Granted, she tried to publically humiliate her parents on facebook, but as the adult he should have been a little more mature. Rather than destroy the laptop he should have just cleaned it up and sold it, taken away all the luxuries that she takes for granted that dad probably payed for (Iphone, Ipad, ect), and make her get a job and pay for them herself. All of that should also have been handled in private and not posted on her facebook page.
The video itself is a riot though.

The apple never falls far from the tree. His daughter's emotional outburst on Facebook is mirrored by his own emotional outburst in the video.
Except his outburst involved destruction of property and the use of firearms.
I think anyone of sound mind can see who the bigger child in this conflict is.

The 16 yr old who had the temerity to translate her feelings to words...or the blasto Daddy who just posts sh*t on you tube and shoots sh*t up with hollow point bullets?
"You gotta pay me back fer these here bullits b*tch!"

Hyperbole? Really? I think that alone speaks volumes. I don't recall him referring to his daughter like that. He simply made an amusing remark regarding her selfishness. He built her a computer, from his own time and resources. She decided to be unappreciative, so she pays for the punishment quite literally.

Anyone who thinks this father behaved in a mature way, have to have their perceptions realigned. This guy shouldn't be in charge of another person. No sane person decides to shoot their kid's things as a means of effective parenting.

You're right. I threw in the word b*tch. Everything else is what he said, including the bullets. He wants to be payed back for them hollow points. Any loving father would. <3

He's obviously got the classic "do as I say, not as I do" mentality that's common among bad parents worldwide, clearly demonstrated when he criticizes her for cussing while using cusswords himself.
I'll bet he also tells his daughter how bad smoking is, while simultaneously holding a lit cigarette in his hand.
You're setting a fine example for your daughter, Mr. Jordan. Keep it up.

Agreed. But my point is that the cost of the bullets wasn't really the message he was trying to get across. Do we really think he's going to make his daughter pay him back $1 per bullet? Maybe, but probably not. The point, in a larger context, was that he had gone out of his way for her, and that FB message was his "reward". It's a harsh lesson in value and that (in the real world) if we want something, we're forced to work for it, which is something she seems very far from understanding, just based on her casual dismissal of the "cleaning lady".

Guess I can't relate cause I had to buy everything from age 15 on for myself via a job. Daddy never bought me anything. When I bought my first console, it took a year for me to save up. And my family sure as hell never had a maid. so I dunno, maybe this guy is spoiling her in the first place. Maybe he was spoiled too.

Nothing about what Mr. Jordan did in that video articulates the overwrought "life lesson" you just read into it. It only articulates a man losing his composure and destroying personal property with a firearm in retaliation for a Facebook rant.
I don't think anyone here really listened to the letter she wrote as he read it, either. There was a lot in it that he just glossed over, cherry-picking only certain parts of it while leaving the rest unaddressed. It tells me that perhaps at least some of what she's saying is true.
But there's obviously no room here for a reasonable analysis of either the letter or the dad's outburst. There's a clear "parents right, kids wrong" bias that's clouding peoples' better judgment. No one is willing to consider both sides of the story, as is typical during parent-child conflicts.
