Where you offended when RDJ hit the kid with his fist...???

I know and I feel like doing it sometimes myself and the film just been projecting some latent fantasy wish fulfilment to it's audience. But there's a fine line between smacking a kid and punching them. The problem in modern society is that too many kids get away with murder. There isn't the standard of discipline there was when my parents were children. I feel as if I sound like an old man when I talk like this but the fact of the matter is that I personally think corporal punishment should be reintroduced in to schools. I know some parents wouldn't like it (along with a load of kids of course lol) but frankly I couldn't give a sh!t. It's all very well if a parent is prepared to put up with their kids unruly and anti-social behaviour it's another when others have to suffer as a result. Fact is that is what's happening. I know this has been slightly off topic but It's something that really bugs the hell out of me!

What's funny about a kid let alone anyone getting punched in the stomach? Just seems like easy humour for people who are easily amused. Shock humour is all very well and good but that was just lame. I'm certainly someone who is uptight and have laughed at some really stuff that might shock other people.

I'm surprised that scene is getting so much attention. Here's a list of illegal activities the two main characters took part in:

Bringing illegal drugs on an airplane.
Stealing a wallet.
Lying to airport security to the point where an innocent man if placed on a no-fly list.
Buying illegal drugs.
Driving a car under the influence of said illegal drugs.
Leaving the scene of a very severe accident.
Shooting a man in the leg (it was an accident but Ethan did not have a permit and the gun was essentially stolen from a police officer).
Entering a country illegally.
Resisting arrest.
Damage to the border patrol facility.
Stealing a police truck and trailer.
And Peter's assault on Ethan was several times more severe than a single punch in the gut.

While the main characters didn't do this, the man in the wheelchair beat Peter with a metal rod with little provication. Oh, and the brief scene in which we see Ethan's brother, he's driving drunk.

These are all worse crimes than punching a kid but no one here is saying anything. Why is the scene with the kid any worse?
