As a matter of fact, yes I have at age 9 walking home from school and I'm not 100% sure killing is always the answer. Justice was served anyways

It is completely unnecessary to threaten him with words, guns, or other aggressive attitudes. If he is a thug with bad intentions, he isn't really going to care anyway. Girls with parents that are never around, who have no curfew and who have a bad relationship with her parents are much more likely to become targets of these type of boys.

The fact is, when a boy shows up at your house to pickup your daughter, it means she wants to go out with him as much as he wants to go out with her. If you are a crazy and aggressive parent, she will have warned him to "ignore my crazy dad" beforehand. And he will ignore you, like she told him to. However, if he perceives that the girl and dad have a great relationship, that he loves her and she respects him...he will know there will be consequences if he messes up with her. He doesn't need to be threatened.

Crazy, over-protective parents who like to threaten kids are the laughing stock of teenagers, you have to be kidding yourself if you think any boy will be terrified enough to stay away from her. He will just find a way to avoid you, to get to her behind your back, and even better, he will find a way to do it with her help! Its a lot better for him to perceive you as a father who loves his daughter, and has an open and constant line of communication with her.

Very true!

It seems most people would applaud or encourage such thinking and behaviour, which makes me cynical about human nature in general.
If you are just talking about being outraged by consensual sex, then, yes, some people do need to mellow down as their daughters are as much to blame for that. But I find it disturbing why you cannot see how parents are outraged and want death to rapists for raping their daughters?! I mean, seriously???

No, how can the DP be an appropriate punishment for rape? I'm not DP, but at least a life for a life...

Its better to just have a few large bags of lye and a shovel near the house than overt displays of aggression.

You obviously don't have a daughter.

Well, this is far from parenting but for some women, their life is over after rape. Sometimes literally, they commit suicide.

The "cleaning the revolver" crap revolts me. It is disgusting, misogynistic, patriarchal and archaic. The interest and focus some parents put n their children's sexuality is highly disturbing.

They sound good to me.

Because the consequences of irresponsible sexuality for young men and women are so minor right?

Teen parents, lifelong STD's...mere inconveniences!
