This person suggested a dad be locked up, that he was a looney tune. I thought that dad’s way of getting the tooth pulled seems creative. No problem.
On the other hand, you think my saying that parents should teach their children to not step on strange dogs is comparable. I didn’t say that parents should be locked up if they don’t. I didn’t say Palin did anything wrong. In fact, I am on record as thinking it is kind of cute. What a special relationship the child has with his dog.
Just saying that as a matter of bigger society, maybe you will want to teach your child that outside of the house, they may not want to do this. It might save some heartache for a lot of people involved.
For instance, you stop by my house where I have a nippy chihuahua. When you come over, the first thing I am going to tell you is to leave him alone. Don’t seek him out, don’t try to pet him, leave him alone.
But, since your parents were obviously failures at teaching you boundaries, you go ahead and do what you want, despite my request. My dog bites you. You report it. Now, you have had physical pain, and I get to suffer financial and legal pain.
Just because you didn’t have responsible parents that taught you to respect boundaries.
Thanks liberal parents.
