[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 144096, member: 102"] Is the implication there that a better father wouldn't mind someone manipulating his son? If it's old fashioned to want your son to have some guts instead of running away from every challenge he encounters in life, if it's old fashioned to not want your son to be an alcoholic, a compulsive gambler or get a 15 year old girl pregnant, then why wouldn't you want to be old fashioned? Jock was a wonderful father. That's why all his sons who appeared on the show regularly both loved and strived to emulate Jock. None of his sons ever quite lived up to the standard he set, but he set the bar awfully high being a self-made man who reached the top of his field, had a successful 43 year marriage, had good friends, and was respected and admired by his peers.
