Comment on The term carrot and stick doesn't sit well with me. If you hit a donkey with a stick then it's likely it won't trust you enough to accept a carrot later.

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.
