I hate how everyone worships dogs. Most dogs I've met are annoying as fuck, they bark constantly, shit everywhere and jump on you. I fully understand that this is a dog owner problem and not the dogs fault. But why are dogs so special?
Kids are similar, they are annoying, dirty, loud, ungrateful, etc... Again, this is usually due to bad parenting but they don't seem to get the free pass dogs do.
Most dog owners and parents should not be dog owners or parents.
Edit': The replies I'm getting to this comment are proving my point. You all care so much about dogs that you automatically assume anyone who doesn't train them properly is an asshole. Maybe the problem is the fact that having a dog and barely training or caring for them is considered socially acceptable. Most people are not ready to take the time required to properly train a dog. We should be discouraging these people from getting one. Instead everyone just fucking goes on and on about how great dogs are. No shit everyone wants one...
Sir, this is a Wendy's
I think you just need a hug
Why? Just cause I find most dogs annoying. That's exactly the mentality I'm talking about lol
No, cuz it sounds like you only met assholes in your life
So people who don't properly train their dogs are assholes? That's a stretch and not what I was saying...
Well yeah kind of they are
Bro what. Assholes who don't train their dogs sounds exactly like what is causing your complaints. How is this a stretch?
As for the kids thing, I don't want them personally either. But it's not like every kid I've ever met annoys me or pisses me off. That also comes down to how they're raised
Sounds like everyone you meet is an asshole. Which is a bit of a warning.
Sometimes most people are wrong about something. That doesn't make them assholes, or mean there's anything wrong with OP. Our culture is imperfect.
He's referring to the adage that "If everyone you meet is an asshole, you're the asshole."
And I'm doubting the usefulness of that adage in cases where it really is society that's wrong.
All, I'm doing is pointing out the perspective and suggesting OP actually do some introspection on their stance with the understanding they may be wrong.
I don't understand how my personal experience can be wrong. I simply said "most dogs I've met". This includes neighbours dogs, dogs I've come across on the street, acquaintances, friends, family. At a certain point, the argument that everyone I know is an asshole falls apart, cause I'm not only talking about people I know personally.
It's a societal issue where dogs are seen as doing no wrong and everyone is encouraged to get one. But most people shouldn't even have one. I'm starting to think that all these triggered people in the comments are shitty dog owners. What other reason would there be to react so harshly to my personal opinion/experience.
Understood, I'm just pointing out that this isn't always the case.
Or most dog owners are just terrible at training their dogs...
Are you saying that everyone who doesn't properly train their dog is an asshole?
Nah, I'm saying if everyone you meet is an asshole, it most likely means you are the asshole.
If you have a dog and see him daily and play with him then you will understand. Or you just don't like dogs which is fine.
No I wouldn't. Do you seriously think that me having a dog would change the way I feel about other peoples poorly trained dogs?
I have kids myself and still can't stand most other kids.
I'd stop replying mate, the ones commenting have the reading comprehension of seven year olds lmao
Tell me you don't have a dog or a kid without telling me you don't have a dog or a kid.
I have both, 3 years ago I had neither. I get where you're coming from, but it's a bit ignorant to assume (dog)parents wouldn't put that dog/kid on a pedestal. It's what they live for.
I have kids. I do everything in my power to make sure they don't turn out like I described. It's a lot of fucking work and most people aren't willing to do it. My spouse works in a daycare. Parents these days do not parent. They just want to be labeled as one.
Parents these days aren't any different, not really. Having kids is the default life path for most people, so of course a good percentage are gonna suck at it.
okay
It's not socially acceptable to fail to train your puppers.
Moral relativity says if its less annoying and sm3lly than I am, it's good tho :3
