Are dog owners now antisocial because they don’t teach their darlings, or should one teach the doggies to behave a bit??
It’s crystal clear: YES.
It’s exactly the same as with: CHILDREN.
1a) Failing to teach dogs basic rules of behavior towards other people: Not social.
2a) Failing to teach children basic rules of behavior towards other people: Not social.
1b) Barking at all joggers on the street and possibly running at them off-leash violates the basic rules from 1a). Therefore: Antisocial
2b) Often and regularly making loud, screaming noises in your own garden when direct neighbors are around violates the basic rules from 1b). Therefore: Antisocial.
All of this is a product of upbringing, both good and bad.
"He just wants to play" is the same as
"Children are just like that": The shrugging excuse that you cannot/will not do the exhausting, annoying, often frustrating upbringing
work that restricts yourself.
Instead of starting with themselves, others are blamed. Because they (supposedly) don’t like children. Your own children are always great, of course. How could they annoy anyone? That’s impossible, how disrespectful...
Why is it not allowed to have a different opinion here, why is it seen as pathetic
Like many, you confuse freedom of opinion with freedom from contradiction. Nobody
forbids you anything. But many
judge what you write. This in turn is freedom of opinion – it’s not one-way traffic!
Who am I personally attacking with that?!
Anyone who has nothing against children does not have to feel addressed!
If you form a group (childless people) and attribute a "frequent" behavior to them (your opinion about it), isn’t that personal?
How should the part of the group that sees children neutrally feel addressed?
You categorize far too much in black and white, step on some toes because of that, and then wonder about resistance?
