[superplough]

Idiot, deserves to be in jail.

[Midoriko87]

He's at fault, totally. Honestly, though, sounds like the mom was being a bully. Of course, I don't know the rules of their household/Maybe he's a Fujyoshi/etc.

[Ken-Ohki]

Now, this is just weird. Certainly the boy deserves what he'll get but this is still very strange.

[ThePhillyFlash]

Well, I guess he won't be heading south of the border! :lol:

[Shiroiyuki]

I can't believe he wasted a taco.

[superplough]

^ :lol:

(nyoron~n)

[Victory]

Wow his parents called the cops on him, huhu.

[Jia]

I thought he looked rather cute :(
Even if the face says "douchebag".

[Leader Desslock]

Does anyone remember the good old days when, if you made the grievous error in judgment of throwing a taco at your mother, she beat the ever loving hell out of you, and that was just the warmup Until Your Father Gets Home? And then, after being beaten to the point of having a collapsed lung, you seriously considered calling the police yourself in order to be taken into protective custody, but you knew that if the police ever found out you assaulted your own mother, they would give orders to shoot you on sight as the lowlife vermin you were? So you didn't call the police, and when your father got home... well, you don't really remember anything after that, but you did wake up in the ER three days later trying to convince your doctors that you'd just crashed your bike coming down a hill. And sure, it really sucked that you have to have major surgery to remove a video game controller removed from where it had been shoved up your large intestine, but at least you learned why it was very important not to throw a taco at your mother and you absolutely never did it again?

Anyone remember those days? I think those days were better. Kids learned more. This kid? He's not gonna learn.

This. I think my mom would've thrown my head through a wall if I even looked at her with the douchey look that guy's got. ;)

Doesn't sound to me like the mom's being a bully. She call shim down to dinner, the guy doesn't even listen, so she goes up and unplugs the game system. Sure it might seem a little bullyish because the guy's 19, but if you're living with your parents you have to follow their rules no matter how old you are.

[Justinian]

Wow that kid is a little spoiled **** it seems like.

[Bernard_Monsha]

He is going to county and will get raped.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

holy **** that really is the face of the new generation

Wow that kid is a little spoiled **** it seems like.


Hey did you just say spoiled ****.

[waltsoph3]

Take a look at this young adult..this....this is the face of fear.....lol

Just great more fuel for Jack Thompson's fire.

Seriously do i need to sing it what we need more of...

R e s p e...wait

R e s p e...darn it spelt it wrong again

R e s p o n s i b i l i t y ...thats what it meen to me.

And i gotta tell ya I have delt with people like this when i use to do my yugioh club. Young to 20-30 aged adults who acted like childern over a card game. Real stupid stuff that could have been solved easily with common sense and being civil. But i couldn't do anything to stop it because i was powerless where I hosted it.Thinking their untouchable with no respect. It kept growing like a virus. And then finally i said screw em this is how they want it i'm not gonna be a part of it.


About this story though...i gotta say the mom was lucky..at least she didnt end up like the one from the unfortunate Halo 3 situation that happened not to long ago.

But i do agree with Desslock its gonna take more then this for people to learn their lesson.

[Old Ape Face]

I'm gonna kill you with tacos *****es!!!!

[Meggles]

R e s p e...wait

R e s p e...darn it spelt it wrong again

R e s p o n s a b i l t y ...thats what it meen to me.

[waltsoph3]

Lol

(fillerrr)

thank you thank you. :D Glad to know i can still make people laugh once and a while.

I do want to add though that when i use to go to public places to play yugioh. Many parents thought it was a day care for there kids just to drop em off not even understanding all the cruel things players would do. Lie,cheat,bad trades, steal and riping off. Trust me at times there was no order. Really gave good honest players and people a bad name.

[goddessofanime]

Ok...first of all....DONT WASTE TACOS!

2. He's 19 years old for Chrissakes....GET OVER IT ALREADY.

[Melion]

Just great more fuel for Jack Thompson's fire.

Lucky enough, good old Jacky is not on work anymore. Got a contempt in court for being too noisy.

Ontopic, kid got issues (I will not call him an adult due to his... behaviour) and he deserves to go to jail and get raped. That will teach him to not waste tacos.

[Meggles]

thank you thank you. :D Glad to know i can still make people laugh once and a while.

FYI: I was laughing because you misspelled responsibility. IDK if that was on purpose or not...

[waltsoph3]

Lucky enough, good old Jacky is not on work anymore. Got a contempt in court for being too noisy.


Well...thats the best news ive heard all day. :D

Still at least with a taco if it hits ya..bite it back...i know bad joke. :lol:

Seriously though.....this is the second story ive heard in days with a tragidy involving kids, parents and video games. Not saying its the fault of the game or the game makers here..but this kind of pattern is sad yet truly disturbing. :(

To add on:
@ Meggles opps thanks for pointing that out. too many i's . :(
Still i hope you at least liked the joke. I admit im not a perfect speller here so please guys try to bare with me on that. I usualy don't get blasted for bad spelling. Sorry about that.

[Caster13]

When I read the title of this thread, I thought it might be another type of taco.

It's a good thing I was wrong.

[Midoriko87]

I thought he looked rather cute :(
Even if the face says "douchebag".

:lol: I wrote the same thing, but erased it!

Meggles, that's why I said I can't really judge, 'cause I don't know their situation. But, at 19, my parents didn't pester me about eating. Then, she shoves him when he gets downstairs. If you don't want him there, tell his grown behind to get the F out... Don't be petty. But, like I said before, I don't know these people. Maybe he's severely retarded and if she didn't force him to come down to eat the nutritious taco feast she had prepared, he'd surely die of malnutrition.

[Justinian]

Hey did you just say spoiled ****.
A very spoiled ****.

[goddessofanime]

ROFL :lol:

[Lacan]

In my days us video game players were nice and listened to our parents. What's happening to the new generation of game players with these whippersnappers?! Darn kids, I should get out my cane from my rocking chair and...

Okay enough with my old man joke. Anyway this late teen, seems to have some anger issues and mental problems. Or maybe this is truly our children of the future that is going to run our country someday?

[Soluzar]

I don't because they never really happened.
Maybe not to you... I can't say that my background has anything in common with Desslock's, but certainly that story is familiar. Of course, because I understood that to be the case, I never got anything more than a minor 'warning shot' of a disciplinary hand across my rear end, but I know for a fact that if I had ever been physically violent towards my mother in the smallest way, I would have been made to suffer, physically, emotionally, and in every other way they could imagine.

I don't see how that would be wrong, either. You just do not throw things at your mom. Certainly not for so little cause as a minor dispute over mealtimes and videogames. If it had been provoked by a serious disagreement I would expect that such an act which did not result in injury could be excused by grovelling and begging for forgiveness, but this is just petty. His mom took an action I don't really think was the right way to handle the situation, but his response was disproportionate and entirely reprehensible.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

What happened to the real victim in all this, the taco? Is it lying on the kitchen floor still?

[goddessofanime]

Now that stupid 'Taco kisses' from South Park won't leave my head...

[kenshinbebop]

Thats one of the funniest mugshots ever.

"Psh, yeah, I threw a taco at my mom. What of it?"

[The Million Dollar Prons]

Because even if it's on the floor it may still be good, not like it landed where the dog sleeps, right?

Right?

[Caster13]

Thats one of the funniest mugshots ever.

"Psh, yeah, I threw a taco at my mom. What of it?"

He might as well drop the soap right then.

[goddessofanime]

I'd imagine the dog would've ate it if it landed on it...

[Midoriko87]

Thats one of the funniest mugshots ever.

"Psh, yeah, I threw a taco at my mom. What of it?"

:lol: "What of it?"

Man, he must be going to Celebrity Jail or somethin'. I wouldn't be smiling. :(

Oh wait, I don't think that's a smile... Still, too relaxed for my liking!!

[Caster13]

No, like almost every person my age in this country, he thinks that he's gangsta.

He's in prison, he's gonna find out what gangsta REALLY is.

Ten bucks his mouth gets him shanked in less than a month.

[goddessofanime]

Or he gets a taco shoved up a very special area...

[RecentMidget]

[Midoriko87]

I don't know about the shanking, but Jail People are just mean. I don't like being around mean people.

[Black Cat]

lol at the kid trying to look tough in that mugshot

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...give this niqqa a chapstick. you mad ashy, son.

[SapperSix]

He should be sent somewhere lovely for a few weeks. Here's an idea.

[Shiroiyuki]

What happened to the real victim in all this, the taco? Is it lying on the kitchen floor still?

It does make me sad to think about such things, yes.

[Holy Knight]

What a taco. Throwing a greasy object in a fit of petty resentment only to have the police on his case strikes me as culinary irony. I can't say I support the mother's actions, seeing as he is 19 and she had no right to tell him what he could or couldn't do. However, he didn't follow that up with tact and maturity, giving me no reason to wish to bail him out. He can have some table fun with Bubba for all I care.

[SapperSix]

To be honest if this happened and the family wasn't white, the mom would strait up beat the kids ***.

[Leader Desslock]

I don't because they never really happened.
I can assure you that if I'd ever hit my mother with a taco, the very least of my worries would have been mistreatment by other prisoners at the county jail.

I remember an instance when I wouldn't eat my peas as a child. Canned peas, overcooked in the style of New England Cuisine. Terrible, horrible things. After refusing to eat them one too many times, my father scooped up a handful of peas from the serving bowl and smashed me across the mouth with them. I might've been eight.

If, instead of refusing to eat them, I had instead thrown them at my mother... do you think I'd have gotten off with a "time out"? :lol:

If you grew up in a different environment, then bully for you. Some of us didn't. Parents saying "I brought you into this world, I can take you out of it" wasn't just a Bill Cosby routine.

[Midoriko87]

To be honest if this happened and the family wasn't white, the mom would strait up beat the kids ***.

Please. I know of far too many Black 18+ lowlifes leeching off of their already poor mothers, all the while disrespecting them. And, you know what those moms do? Squat Diddly! Shoot, my little brother's 20-Year-Old pals got their mom kicked out of her apartment for selling drugs in the place. According to my dad, she'd walk downstairs, say something to them, and they'd respond, "Ho, shut the ****! Get your Black *** back up the stairs!" And, you know what she'd do? March her Black tail back up the stairs.

Now, Sapper, if you were joking... That's so true. What's with White folks and their lack of interest in pummeling their Seed?! 'Cept Desslock's daddy... He frightens me. :ph34r: Like, a college fund? What the F is a college fund? When babies are born around here, parents start saving up for that inevitable trip to the E.R. that the child will be making on or around his/her 16th Birthday for politely requesting a $10 raise on his/her annual allowance.

So, you know, before I start poppin' 'em out for Jack Black, he'll need to be understanding/accepting of my Culture's longstanding tradition of engaging in fisticuffs with colicky newborns. It oftentimes baffles me how the two cultures differ so...

:lol: I'm joking, of course. That first paragraph is straight truth, though... Sad.

[SapperSix]

Well in honor of the fallen Taco, I had a three taco salute that was mighty tasty.

[JoeStrummer]

What a taco. Throwing a greasy object in a fit of petty resentment only to have the police on his case strikes me as culinary irony.

Except she's payin' the bills, so she can do whatever she wants.

Poor taco though, now I just want taco's.

[Meggles]

Damn, this thread makes me want tacos. What a waste of a taco.

[Melion]

Lets have a quite minute for that poor taco.

[Caster13]

He should be sent somewhere lovely for a few weeks. Here's an idea.

He'd be kicked out.

[waltsoph3]

Except she's payin' the bills, so she can do whatever she wants.


(starts hearing trumpets playing in the background)

Exactly. Thats the point with this as well.
Its called your the guest and you must respect the owner's wishes. He was still a legal adult in the laws eyes whitch meens hes at an age where he soposs to know better.
Espically if its your parent's home..i meen come on now stories like this are just truly appalling.

Opps wait were we still in silence for the poor taco that was tagicly harmed in this unfortunate occurence?

Alright then a moment of silence it is(interrupt immediately) ok done. Lets eat.
Now lets see whats for dinner tonight? Tacos? Cool.

[Holy Knight]

Except she's payin' the bills, so she can do whatever she wants.

I politely disagree, though we're going to have to agree to disagree since I don't see our arguing going anywhere. I'll simply state that the fact one pays for shelter shouldn't infringe on the rights of those living under it. Courtesy would dictate certain unspoken rules between the involved parties, but none should be of a coercive nature.

[JoeStrummer]

^ Ah, well that's cool heh

Can we both agree on the fact that it was a waste of a good taco though?

[KabukiSaMuRaI]

He's at fault, totally. Honestly, though, sounds like the mom was being a bully. Of course, I don't know the rules of their household/Maybe he's a Fujyoshi/etc.

Wow...that's hitting below the belt.

Wow his parents called the cops on him, huhu.

There are other offenses more worthy of a police visit but I've noticed a lot of the young generation these days are just without discipline. I'd seen it personally and those people just never grow up no matter how old they get.

What happened to the real victim in all this, the taco? Is it lying on the kitchen floor still?

Collateral damage it seems. More where that came from, yo.

Courtesy would dictate certain unspoken rules between the involved parties, but none should be of a coercive nature.

You would be surprised at how many heads-of-households would disagree. Retaining any type of control is a trait common in this country and coercion behind closed doors is common enough. The degree of severity varies but it seems that order, discipline and compliance are a few things that those in charge expect. If you don't pay rent, then you are contributing in other ways.

Plus, physical coercion and abuse is so primitive. The really devious people know how to put down your moral or make you feel guilty (deservedly or not). It's those individuals you need to be careful of. Indelible scars stick with you.

^ Ah, well that's cool heh

Can we both agree on the fact that it was a waste of a good taco though?

If it was good, he would have thrown his free fist and finished the taco. :P

[Caster13]

:lol:

Did she make the tacos, or did she buy them somewhere? Cause some places have tacos that will clean out your colon in seconds. Like Del Taco restaurants.>_<

[waltsoph3]

:blink: ................. :wacko:

Unbelivable..more people here are talking more about the health and well being of a taco then the 19 year old..or more importantly the mom here.

Sigh.......

Speaking of tacos on a another serious note..i don't rember where and when, but i rember a story just a few months ago about crack being found in a taco at taco bell. Makes you wonder if there any more incriminating stories that involved the infamous taco. Well only time can tell.

[superplough]

^ lrn2sarcasm

[Midoriko87]

Hitting below the belt, K-Sam? 'Cause of the "Maybe he's a Fujyoshi" bit?

Not saying she's a bad kid, but she herself has admitted to being antisocial and spending a good deal of her time on the computer/in her room. Who knows? Maybe he's the same with vidya games? That's my point, is all.

[Leader Desslock]

BINGO. I am aware of what you all think about her and I can see where the correlation might be. I was half joking when I posted. However, don't want to get sidetracked because we are talking about tacos used for physical attack.

I'm sure if I put HAD an emoticon, you would have received it in a more positive light...maybe? :)

[tenshi_a]

He was probably playing something online with others. That's the problem with online gaming; no pause button. Grr. :(

Or maybe he was doing something.... you know in FF9 where you had to jump rope 1000 times in a row? Maybe he was trying for that kind of thing, and him shouting "in a minute, I'm busy" wasn't enough...

Note: last time I threw something at my mother I was the one who ended up with a busted lip. I think I was about 14 years old...

[waltsoph3]

We warned you we were like this when you joined AN, but noooo, you just wouldn't listen. :lol:

Thats just too scary. lol no no seriously i knew some of them were jokes.

Still..a taco..i still can't belive a taco could cause so much problems. (rolling eyes) unbeliveable. Wonder what will be next.

[superplough]

I think if I threw anything at my mum I would have more problems than this kid. You just dont do that.

[waltsoph3]

Absolutly I agree.

And your saying that was formative ? That is by no means helpful to anything. If your parents did indeed treat you like that, you probably should of called the cops and if that didn't work then you probably should of killed them. Are those radical responses ? Yes of course, but that situation is nothing but radical and injust.

[Old Ape Face]

Beating your kid near death is not a learning experience.

I'd have to argue with this one, while the order of the parents is to show the children they have a big stick and will use it if the children step out of line.

a psychologist I visited during the summer tolled me that by the age of about 13 and no physical punishment for stupidity the kids believe they're invincible and things start to get real difficult.

By the age of 21 their mentality is even worse and it's even more dificult to correct their behavior.

Now beating the kid to within an inch of his life might be steeping over a very high cliff, but fear is a good learning tool.

[Leader Desslock]

And your saying that was formative ?
I learned:

1) Don't interrupt Dad's dinner after a hard day at work, and
2) Whining is not an acceptable expression

Had I been a bit more broad-minded, I might've picked up on the other afterschool special message, which was:

3) Be thankful for the food you have, because lots of people don't have any

That is by no means helpful to anything.
Actually, it gave me an excuse to not eat any more peas, so when I look at the big picture, I made out on the deal. Parental guilt rocks.

If your parents did indeed treat you like that, you probably should of called the cops and if that didn't work then you probably should of killed them. Are those radical responses ? Yes of course, but that situation is nothing but radical and injust.
Oh, please. Some points I'd like to make:

- Yes, this incident absolutely happened, and I'm not embellishing it at all.

- It's "should have [verb]" not "should of". I try not to be the AN grammar Nazi, but that one bugs me.

- Perspective, here. My dad grew up before WWII, a ward of the state assigned to a foster farm where he grew up with two of his brothers. I cannot even tell you what they went through, because you flat out would not believe it. But I can attest to the fact that my dad had a scar from a pitchfork tine, where the farm owner speared him one day. Actually, he had two - one just above and outside where his kidney would be, and the other on the front of his abdomen. Went clean through, and he wasn't allowed to stop working. That was by no means the worst thing ever done to him.

So I got hit in the face with some peas for being a crybaby. Big friggin' deal! I deserved it, no harm done, and I learned to be considerate of others at the table. It wasn't a nice, cozy message, but it was valid and I learned it. Turn the page. Call the police or kill someone over that?! Please. :rolleyes:

[SPARTAN117CJL]

I learned:

1) Don't interrupt Dad's dinner after a hard day at work, and
2) Whining is not an acceptable expression

Come on. You can't be serious right ? People learned not to talk bad about Stalin after the NKVD had a relative sent to a gulag or purged.

Had I been a bit more broad-minded, I might've picked up on the other afterschool special message, which was:

3) Be thankful for the food you have, because lots of people don't have any

A good message. One that I wish was ever-present in my head, not just with food but with all things. But that message that you might of learned, if you had learned it, it was not through good means.


Actually, it gave me an excuse to not eat any more peas, so when I look at the big picture, I made out on the deal. Parental guilt rocks.

I think that's subjective though. I would of preferred to have not been abused. That's just me. I could be wrong and I supposed the matter boils down to personal feeling's any way.

Oh, please. Some points I'd like to make:

- Yes, this incident absolutely happened, and I'm not embellishing it at all.

That I believe.

- It's "should have [verb]" not "should of". I try not to be the AN grammar Nazi, but that one bugs me.

That I have some skepticism about. Not about the correctness of the Grammar (Your an English Major right ?) But about the fact that it wasn't really attentional or fought.


- Perspective, here. My dad grew up before WWII, a ward of the state assigned to a foster farm where he grew up with two of his brothers. I cannot even tell you what they went through, because you flat out would not believe it. But I can attest to the fact that my dad had a scar from a pitchfork tine, where the farm owner speared him one day. Actually, he had two - one just above and outside where his kidney would be, and the other on the front of his abdomen. Went clean through, and he wasn't allowed to stop working. That was by no means the worst thing ever done to him.

It's terrible what happened. But the cycle of abuse which I'm sure you know of does not justify one who was abused to becoming an Abuser. People who are forced to labor without due compensation and reward and are made to suffer various indignities while doing so are of utmost concern to me as a human and to my political persuasion.

So I got hit in the face with some peas for being a crybaby. Big friggin' deal! I deserved it, no harm done, and I learned to be considerate of others at the table. It wasn't a nice, cozy message, but it was valid and I learned it. Turn the page. Call the police or kill someone over that?! Please. :rolleyes:

1) It is a big deal. It is abuse. I'm no bleeding hear pacifist Liberal (I'm rather a Bleeding heart militant liberal) but Parent's should not do such thing's to their child.

2) I did not know the extent of the abuse when I made the suggestion. But if event's like this were on-going and if worse thing's like that occured then it would of been justified just as the slave who kills his plantation owner. Yes, maybe it's not the most pragmatic answer. I don't know where you would go after that but I could also assume that if you were indeed subject to cruelty like What I am Imagining (which may very well be wrong) then radical actions needed to happen.

Eeek Desslock thats quite the scary tale. :(
Sorry to hear about the pinch fork story. That must have been some temper.
I belive in punishment , but only to a certain level of degree when it comes to punishing a child.


a psychologist I visited during the summer tolled me that by the age of about 13 and no physical punishment for stupidity the kids believe they're invincible and things start to get real difficult.




I can defently agree to this. You want to know something scary. I know a friend who has a nephew that is exactly like this. He is a nightmare! Gets away with so much trouble a normal kid would get a spanking or some other form of time out right away. So spoiled i tell ya that it makes me dread what it will be like when hes in his teens. I feel one day he's gonna mess with the wrong person and that could be all she wrote.

Look i'm not saying all kids are like this, but trust me. This kid takes the cake.

My sister is EXCACTLY like this kid. No lie. Spoiled as hell and puts her friends before family. One day it's going to hit her that life isn't a party anymore like it was in high school and she's gonna have a giant breakdown.

[Haro!]

My mom would have killed me had I done that. Tortillas are practically sacred in my house.

Miko's house when I visit.

In all seriousness, this kid is an idiot.
@spartan117cjl: let it go, you will lose the arguement with desslock, trust me on this.
Before my parents divorced each other, my dad was pretty abusive, mainly towards my older brother who was playing baseball at the time. At one point, he started smashing m brother's head into a cement wall for not listening to his direct orders, even though he did it better than he was told to do and won the game for his team. So my mom jumped on his back and took him down. He now has the least amount of visitation time we could get for him. He abused me too, but I was smart and got out of sports as soon as I could, because I saw that one coming.
