A family under seige, a troubled youth, and a twist ending? I suspect M. Night Shyamalan is behind this.

Someone's into some S and M, eh?

Damn that should have read "...and simply the thought of getting a asswooping would have been enough to NOT make me do something so stupid!" OMG...

“..Gettin all ghetto”? Uh, could you be any more racist? How does acting like a self-centered brat have anything to do in general with living in an impoverished area or is it that you like trafficking in racist stereotypes of African-Americans and Latinos.

Damn I read this and thought funny and sad all at once. If I did shit like this when I was a kid I would have gotten a good ole spanking of a lifetime. My parents would have totally kicked my ass and simply the thought of getting a asswooping would have been enough to make me do something so stupid!

They wrote "We kill u",

But you're right. They ain't winning no grammar rodeo any time soon...

(yes, I wrote it that way deliberately)

What's most telling to me, is even racial intimidation has transcended to using "IM speak."

"We Kill You" or "We fire your house" doesn't seem like IM speak to me. It just sounds like really bad grammar. I teach college juniors/sophomores and used to be surprised by their abysmal grammar. Now I feel that I'm feeding into the problem by suggesting they use the Spell Check in Word.

What's most telling to me, is even racial intimidation has transcended to using "IM speak." Makes me reminisce, ahhh, the good ol days when bigots took the time to spell out the entire words "We will Kill You" What's next, tacking on a ":(" at the end?

Some Sikh-American kid did the same, alleging a racist attack, when he actually cut his own hair to avoid harassment. Wanted to spare himself the family tension.
