Saw a car a big bumper sticker today: “Raising Lions, Not Sheep”

Its a GOOD thing to teach kids to question the status quo and prevailing narratives....and have a healthy dose of distrust in the government.


The Government was Trump who said that covid was NBD and that people should reject any precautions so you may want to think for yourself and not follow the wealthy power hungry orange treason weasel.

They're raising a leader (lion) and not a conformist (sheep).

It means they think they are raising a leader (lion) but they are actually raising a sheep that is being taught to only do what their evangelical / MAGA parents say.

Based on my experience, you can't raise your kid to be either - they come as they come, and for the sake of this idiotic binary, they are either a lion or a sheep. You can't turn your lion kid into a sheep or your sheep kid into a lion no matter how hard you try. You can give them some skills to move closer to the opposite side as needed on occasion, but pretty limited impact overall.

This post means you are a stupid sheep.

LOL. It means the person who has that bumper sticker doesn’t know anything about actual lion behavior, but might have a kewl lion tattoo, maybe with a rippling American flag behind it.

We are so absolutely screwed as a civilization.

A lion isn't a leader, a lion is a predator.

If Trump had actually said that he would get my vote in the primary. He didn’t, he supported lockdowns which were scientifically unsupported and just stupid. Of course left wing nutjobs like yourself are still hiding in a hole.

It's a way to tell the world that one has had a hard life and wants better for their kid, but ignorance gets in the way.
They are messed up in the head and soul from messed up life and are messing up their kid too.

I never liked that bumper sticker. I have two kids, who I have raised exactly the same way. One is more laid back and more of a follower by nature, the other is more outgoing and goes her own way. I've taught them both not to blindly accept everything they hear or are told, in terms of misinformation or propaganda, but to suggest you can shape someone's basic personality, that's not the case.
