    Some shit needs to be immediatelt addressed. If the kid’s trashin merchandise or attacking customers then yeah sure shake em out of it. But smacking a kid for whining or being a smartass? Nah you’re an asshole.

    'Murica!

    Never seen that in my country even once in my whole life. I saw a guy beat his dog once and lots of people, including me, stepped in and held him till the cops came.

      I live in the US and never saw this, but I don’t frequent Walmart. So not sure if it’s an inaccurate stereotype or not.

    I have a 3 yr old border collie. He is THE sweetest boy, born into a poor home where they didn’t have enough money to keep feeding him and no one was interested in buying him when he was still tiny, I got him at 5-6 mo’s old, I’ve had to learn the meaning of patience with this extremely sweet boy. But now, he is a very well developed adult dog, and has made it clear he doesn’t care if he dislocates my shoulder with repeated lunges at things he just wants to smell. I tell this story right now in relation to the picture, because sometimes, that damn little asshole finally deserves to have their ass beat, and you know they was acting up more than usual because they thought they could get away with that shit in public!

      Ah yes, beat up your dog because he “deserves it”. Instead of training or using a anti pull lead. Great logic

        No argument there, but my question still stands. Why is poor (i.e. shopping at walmart) mom the paradigmatic example instead of rich dad? Just because our society likes to punch down doesn’t mean our memes have to.

          Would you have asked “Why not a mother at Walmart?” if your version had been used?
