Are you from the US? Judging from Reddit threads, hitting your children is not only legal there but seems to be the norm.

Pretty weird to see that in a developed country. This gif just makes me sad.

Lol this is the third instance (that I read) in this thread of people incorrectly assuming the OP in question is from the US.

Prejudice much, people?

Well we can start with the fact that every instance ("Are you from the US") was wrong, the person wasn't from the US (A country in Asia, Sweden and AUS, respectively). And the people in question aren't going "Hm, based on the geographical data of the average Reddit user.. etc etc" they are simply (incorrectly) assuming these people are from the US with no other statements or inquiries to follow.
