1. He made a shady deal with a questionable salesman for some "magic" beans. He is underage and doesn't ask for permission from his legal custodians/parents to sell the family cow. 2. He risks life and limb to climb the bean stalk without wearing appropriate safety equipment or proper harnessing/anchoring. 3. He steals a golden goose from the Giant. I understand that the Giant is a cannibal, but maybe that's just the way where he lives 4. He causes the death of the Giant
Jack isn't the only fairy tale "hero" that justifies stealing and killing for the betterment of their family or for personal gain.

He probably sat around playing video games all the time, and liked cats.

He probably ended up buying a ten speed bike, lycra shorts, and a yellow jersey with those golden eggs and then "won" the Tour de France seven times.

Team wolfs I had to perform. It took a minute to get it all in my mouth and another five to swallow it all.

As I recall the original story, He was sent to town by his Mother to sell the cow.

I like Jack Horner. Stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum. Said, "Do I really have to eat this POS."

Did his Mother's house have a basement with a broadband internet connection?
