Prison doesn't generally fix people...


yeah, but a good anal pounding from bubba might.
 
I couldn't help post this video link. It is somewhat OT but can help some who are perhaps still unclear about how socially cut-off some kids can be...

Had to laugh due to the fact that just above the video is an ad for WOW....wow... :neener:

This video has some (ok...a lot) profanity which I am sure you hear from, say, a 16 y/0... and its just plain disturbing.

I knew a Russian fellow for a little while. He said that foreigners had better not walk the streets at night in Moscow, or they will get the... you know what beaten out of them. I think that would go doubly so if it was some pudgy American boy prattling on about how great communism is.

Anyway, sounds like a kids acting out because he isn't getting enough attention. Give him five years and he will either shape up and get a life or still be living in your mother's basement.
 
Russians?

He talks about making a gun free nation, modeling us after the all mighty and powerful Russians

Put him on a plane to Russia, let him see how well that commie BS worked out!

In my experience, Russians are the most rabidly capitalist people on the planet - and make us look like socialist weenies in comparison. There are more hardcore Communists in the USA today than in Russia.

"If he has been recently diagnosed with ADHD by a "professional". did they just start him on some "medication", like Ritalin? No, I don't believe in ADHD or anything like it, or the so-called "professionals" who drug our children into complacency."

Walk a mile in my shoes. I have a 22 yr old son with ADHD and a 27 yr old son with ADD. Don't know why or how. The 22 yr old was diagnosed and treated with Ritalin. The 27 yr old wasn't diagnosed. The 22 yr old graduated from a top notch university on time (4 yrs)and played football. The 27 yr old took 6 years to graduate and took 2 universitys to do it. He has also had alcohol problems.

ADD/ADHD is real. It is treatable. Our family fought the diagnosis because of the stigma. We lost and our youngest son WON because we got him treatment. Our older son has stated that he wishes we had sought treatment for him also.

First hand real life experience here...no hearsay.

So as to not get too far off topic and hijack the thread, they both love to shoot and constantly ask to go to the range. Both are safe gun handlers.

Tell ya what, bud.
I'm 44 going on 18 and I've been diagnosed with ADD (not ADHD).

From what I know, the best way to handle a situation with a 16 year-old male ADHD anti that likes to hear himself yell is simple:

While he's in the heated throes of his diatribe, just look past his head and say, "Whoa, look at the hooters on HER!" and bolt for the door while he's trying to put it all together.:D
 
I'll assume that he hasn't watched the news since 1989
That's another thing, he doesn't realize Heath Ledger or that news guy, or even George Carlin died in the last couple weeks (months for Heath, and the news guys' name escapes me at the moment).

Who is Heath Ledger?:confused:
(news guy: Tim Russet, him I know of:rolleyes:)
I gotta get a life!:scrutiny:
 
He probably has a girlfriend who is a real hottie. She is offerinig him pleasures if he abandons his neanderthal ways and adopts the emasculated lifestyle of which he is writing. He just does not have the sand to stand up to her.

Men have done worse for the caress of a woman.

This isn't even really an "anti-gunner" problem at all.

- As it's stated, he's 16, what he thinks does not matter at all.

You know, it would be helpful to get his "anti-gunner" opinions directly. Why not have him subscribe to THR and post his opinions and thoughts about guns, gun rights, etc?




Mentally, he's flirting with the mindset that the Columbine kids had. They felt so lost, outside, and like losers, that they deliberately identified with negative cultures and things in history. Harris and Klebold chose Hitler, your little brother is focusing in on the negative totalitarian aspects of Communism which has a tie in to your Russian family heritage. It's a way of saying "F'-it all…I quit! I'm one of the bad guys!" way of throwing in the towel on normal life in which he feels a failure, yet the violence and dominance in that evil/totalitarian culture has something that makes him feel empowered at the same time.

The reference to a Columbine shooter mentality or mindset is, unfortunately, apt. There are similarities to be sure. Harris and Klebold should never have had access to firearms. They were too wacko to understand their proper uses and limitations. Juveniles can't be trusted with guns, especially wacko juveniles.
 
modeling us after the all mighty and powerful Russians
I had a friend like that once. It was his way of fitting in to society. He picked a norm and ran with it.
Your brother will either grow up, or he won't Nothing can force that.
Rationale sure ain't gonna get anywhere with him.
 
Well the subject of him having a girlfriend popped up a coupla times, and she dumped him because he'd rather play the damn games.

Like stated, my keys to my gun safe are on me or with one of my parents at all time.
 
He's 16. Cut him a break. When I was sixteen I believed that wearing purple made you gay. Teenagers believe tons of stupid ****. He'll grow up eventually.

...He could also just be pulling your chain. Teens like to do that too.
 
I would blame it on the 16 part. Teenagers, all teenagers, are inherently stupid. ALL of us have done, or thought something we wished we never would have when we were teenagers...let him vent and keep telling him the truth.
 
The best way...

to distance yourself (and you really need to) is to walk down to the Recruiter, and join up. You will get a job like RIGHT NOW, and if you have no criminal history, you will go almost right away. Sitting around your mom's house unemployed will just lead to trouble for yourself.
You are not helping her or him or yourself at all.
Join up, and you will have lot's more on your mind in a few days than your F'd up brother.
Stop by in a couple of months when you get leave from Basic, and see if he hasn't landed in jail by then.
 
If he starts to fly off the handle, leave the house. Give him the silent treatment for a few hours or even days, see how he likes that.
 
Teenagers, all teenagers, are inherently stupid.

hey now that's not always true, while not 16 i am still a "teenager" and i'm dead serious when it comes to firearms safety. not saying that i don't make bad decisions but my bad decisions leave me hungover or cost me some money, when it comes to firearms safety i make no compromises, they are only handled when i am well rested and have a level head.

To the OP, i would guess that he will chill out in a couple years but he probably will never totally agree with what you believe in. either way keep firearms locked up away from him.

OBJECTION

When I was a "teenager", I was spending my time shooting and restoring old Civil War guns, same thing now as well, active in the NRA, active in politics, active in 2A. Many teenagers are reckless and stupid, but certainly not others. I am sure most of us here also had a very productive and postive adolescence.

Turn the internet off

Disable the computer (If you know anything about 'em, take the CMOS jumper off the motherboard - it should fail to boot.)

I hate to resort to violence, but a good asskicking never fails to help a little bit.

Good lord man, you've got way more patience than I do when it comes to these sorts of things.

Gotta get him off that game, is the most important thing, that friggin' thing is worth than Meth. I've seen addicts to both.

Not to say I'm not a gamer - I totally am. But it's a hobby, not a way of life.


Also, joining the military would be be a good route for you to go as well, if you want an 'out'. I suggest the Marines ;)

Um, there are guns in the house, and this could lead to violence. I know. I was addicted to the game for about a year.

Yes, they are. Just because you were smart and responsible in one area, doesn't mean you weren't crazy and irresponsible in another. :p
