Typical baby boomer self-entitlement.

The me-generation was raised by the "Greatest Generation" only to become the "Greediest Generation." This guy's behavior is just more of the same.

His punishment? He should go to jail. Period. At least 1 year.

The OP's punishment for trying to be a racist idiot with the title? He should get slapped 4 times by the old crazy man.

I see you are partaking in one of Obama's favorite pastimes.


There are all kinds of facts. I dont think you want to get in a comparison.

The FACT is, this guy is an idiot with obvious anger problems. We can see you have your share as well.

I would have to agree. He is lucky daddy was not in the store at the same time.

The lady really should have gone immediately to the manager's office and asked for the police. That crusty old man was liable to kill the baby and the mom. It was VERY stupid and selfish of her to continue shopping, while an innocent kid's life was possibly on the line.

The man and the woman both need their heads examined.

When one of my boys was 4 one Saturday he decided he was not gonna dress for church because my wife was out of his favourite cereal. So he huffed and puffed and refused to do what he was told. And I got my belt and gave him a good whuppin and after that I had no more trouble with him. None. He was a good student in school, got suspended only once in 12 years (for a fight he didn't start) and is in the Navy today. And I told him a few months ago that whuppin hurt me more than it did him and he understood.
Damn, I don't agree with you very often but thats a pretty good post.
