OOOH! Great topic, great video.
Firstly, I LOOOOVED the accent. It sounded very southern. Can anybody localize it to a specific region?
Secondly - agreed, that post was out of line, frankly, for other than educational, work and scientific purposes, I wouldn't let a kid use the computer. It's from the word "compute" - make calculations instead of human. That's what it was invented to do. Work and science.
Thirdly - coming from Europe, it's ridiculous to see that sort of behaviour. I mean... fire a gun? To shoot a PC? Come on. Drive over it with a car, but weapons? That's a weapon abuse, don't you think?

Life doesn't have to be. You are just living in a system that imprints this idea on people and survives only by dividing them and making them fight others to earn their living and commodities. Acceptance is surrendering to that ill system, defiance is what can move this system forward.

Utter crazy non-sense but in theory I have been trained for guerilla warfare in the forest. I got yelled out for not providing cover fire in a paintball game "in real life people lose their lives"

I mean, seriously? I haven't heard a more absurd story in the last few years. WOW!
People are naturally pacifists. They do not want to fight, they do not want to kill, they do not want to die and they do not want to make problems to anybody.
Such behaviour here would classify your dad and step-dad to be taken to a very specialized institution dealing with mental disorders. Incredible. They would be lucky to even see you after that sort of "education".
