The difference is that I wouldn't write an article about how I've just discovered that being hungry isn't fun after only having ramen in my pantry for one day as if it were brand new information that has never been a problem for anyone else ever. If anyone's complaint is about something that has traditionally been a…

Sure its cute now but when Fence Baby grows up he will be an embarrassment to our nation.

I had an asshole "friend" in college that literally ran out of the room one day when he saw my leg hair. He eventually came back in and was like, "Sorry...but leg hair is just gross...on a girl". I seriously regret ever talking to him ever again.

No. I don't see what kindness what shown in this made up story other than he asked politely for the mother to calm an upset child and she acted like she couldn't be bothered. I never said the mother's actions were correct. I am simply appalled that the OP's actions are being applauded. His actions did nothing but…

"Much less throwing around F-bombs while doing so."

You understand that this story is made up? There was no kid, no F-bombs thrown. We're having a meta-discussion about childhood, and adults who seem to take pleasure in the *completely made-up scenario* of "Got dang I SHUT THAT KID DOWN."

The answer here is that those…

All children, above and beyond the age of infant and baby, act like dicks sometimes. This is a fact. Regardless of the shining example of your sisters, I guran-fucking-tee they were both huge bitches on some occasion past babyhood.

actually it is exactly part of being a child. I have a 2.5 year old and she says please and thank you but she will throw tantrums when she wants something and can't wait or accept no as an answer which is 85% of the time. Because she can talk does not mean she understands social conventions. "Rude, screaming and…

I literally just fist-pumped into the air at my desk.

I have a 5 year old who I have taken for fast food probably about 8 times in her entire life. I don't give a damn if you think I'm a shitty parent but you sound like an asshole.

"You are absolutely right, all she had to do was say 'Knock it off or you won't get any pie.' Boom. Done."

People like you who have to scan every single thing in the world through a left-right political prism are the absolute worst. It must just be exhausting and alienating.

Please, no editing after the fact. You said taking your kid to BK is proof of bad parenting. Also, why do you get to decide if poor people get dessert? Are you the Poverty Czar now? Dictating the foodstuffs available to poor people? "No spices, you low down dirty lazy slobs, plain white rice for you until you can…

"what ISN'T part of being a child is being a rude, screaming, inconsolable little prick"

... said the guy who clearly has never parented a child, and has an extremely fuzzy memory of his own childhood.

Privileged check, please. There's enough research into food deserts and poverty to show that for many people, the crap on the dollar menu at BK or McD's or whatever, is the only option, especially between shifts at crap jobs or when you live in an area where your options are drive many miles (or take public transit)…

No, he was being a spiteful prick to the child. The mom wasn't the one who wanted a pie. She was the one with the perspective to understand that an acting-up child is not a national crisis.

I have two problems with this thing becoming a viral phenomenon:

Nope. I mean, I don't mind looking at attractive men (or women for that matter,) but I go to these movies because I LOVE THE SOURCE MATERIAL. I've been a Marvel reader since I was eleven. (Although, I certainly might be an exception but I know there are other girls out there who are in my camp.)

That image did not influence me at all, however the characters did. I couldn't wait for this movie, from the moment I heard the premise. I actually thought Rocket would win me over, but Groot was my real favourite.

Ummm, it couldn't be that women are just as interested in Marvel as men (if not more so, look up the MCU on Tumblr)? You have to point to a single image of Chris Pratt's abs as the defining reason why women might have chosen to go see the movie? Terrible.
