Today, my dad vehemently refused to let me go on vacation to France with my best friend, because he watched Taken a few months ago and apparently forgot that it's just a movie. FML

Fall

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Kidnapping happens all of the time. You never know, be happy with your dad because he obviously loves you.

To be fair, my parents wouldn't have let me go to France without adult supervision when I was under 18 either.

My dad did the se thing when I wanted to go to France with my class.

not just a movie...however, in real life, the dad doesn't go on a crazy hunting killer spree...you just end up a druggie prostitute until they get rid of you. Be glad your dad cares

Taken wasn't in France, you're safe.

I think that's a bit much. But, I also see form his point of view. Just because it's just a movie, doesn't mean it's not possible. That movie taught a lot of people that human trafficking is a big issue and I don't blame him for being worried. Then again, it also really sucks that you can't go to France. Then again, human trafficking happens in the states, as well. A lot. Maybe he can go with you? If not, just wait a while and maybe later on you will be able to go.

based on real shit that can happen tho. if your young then yes you shouldnt go

Time to let him watch Hostel ;)

Half way through I was going to mention taken...drat... Just because it wasn't based on a true story it's possible...

This exact same scenario happened with my mom.

I guess he doesn't think you have the correct set of skills.
