Talk to him when he's not angry at you. Tell him the truth. Tell him he's wrong. Fucking reason with the man. *Make* him listen. Any reasonable man should be able to listen to what his son has to say. Tell him what bothers you, and why.
I strongly disagree with Rodney's advice to spend as little time around your dad as possible. The fact that he might be difficult to please doesn't mean you should just give up on him. Work it out, for chrissake's! He's your dad, not some boss you don't give a fuck about. Alienate him now, and you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
Fathers can be difficult. But ultimately, they care about their children (there are exceptions, obviously). Family is all you got, cherish it!
