    You don’t use a stick on a donkey or a horse, unless you want your face kicked in and trampled to death.

    Have any of you ever heard of a horse whip? When used correctly, they exceed the speed of sound, and keep trainers and riders at a safe distance from them.

    I don’t give a fuck about some stupid metaphor that probably came from republican propaganda when they have no experience on a farm.

      If you don’t care about the metaphor what the heck are you doing in this conversation

        Because I have no experience with said stupid ‘metaphor’, I’ve never heard it as a metaphor before today.

        Coming from over 10 years on a horse/donkey ranch, I speak from real life experience. I didn’t realize that people were so dumb as to think you whip such a large animal with a stick, that’s just fucking stupid and asking to die by the animal’s hooves.

        So once again, there’s a reason they make horse/donkey whips, and if you don’t know what that is, well go spend a few days on a large animal farm and learn how dangerous the untrained can be.

          No one thinks this nor is saying it. You’re the person screaming WHAT ABOUT THE ATTACK ON THE WOOKIES when everyone is talking about what to have for lunch right now. Get it together, it’s embarrassing

          “No experience with said metaphor”, we tried to help you

          If you can’t figure out what we’re talking about with a thread full of context then I don’t know what to tell you. Either way, you can take a lesson learned here or not, I don’t particularly care anymore.

            Go ahead, go tame a donkey by hitting it with a stick, see how far that gets you…

            IDGAF if you newer people that have never handled such animals have turned it into an ignorant meme, it’s a matter of life or death.

            You simply do not hit such large animals with a stick. They will kill you.

            Go visit a training farm.
