Reply #64: That's completely off point, and overly dramatic.

"Children are the most defenseless of all the humans that walk the earth, so let's attack them." Not only is this silly, but nobody is attacking children. It's like people discussing the destruction of constitutional liberties, and someone saying "OMG, you're anti-American!!!!!"

There is no attack on children involved. Nobody is suggesting anything that would harm them. In fact, keeping them out of some of these places is GOOD for them. Nobody is suggesting anything about who should breed and who shouldn't - the issue of people being allowed to have kids was never mentioned in any post.

This kind of overwrought "Won't someone think of the children!!!!" message is off-topic and an attempt to distract from the point, which is that we've gotten to tolerance of such bad parenting in this country, that people feel there is no other answer (for now) than to have some places off limits to kids until things get a little more sane. Oh, the humanity! You refuse to live like that? Fine - deal with screaming, thrown food, and misbehavior. Others will do their level best to improve the situation by having some adult spaces.
