A Child laughs and the restaurant laughs with them, a child screams and the patrons do too.

AND incidentally, IF we're going to spend $30-$40 bucks a head minimum, for a main (at an okay restaurant) the owners can bloody well tolerate all they get from my kids, I've paid for the right, haven't I?

Im not complaining that there were children.
I'm complaining that children were talking.
I didn't pay 10 dollars to get the 5 year old's view of the world.
I paid 10 dollars to see Captain America.

The No-Kids-Allowed Movement is Spreading

(visit the link for the full news article)
What's the matter with kids today and why doesn't anyone want them around? In June, Malaysia Airlines banned babies from many of their first class cabins, prompting other major airlines to consider similar policies.
Lately, complaints about screaming kids are being taken seriously, not only by airlines, but by hotels, movie theaters, restaurants, and even grocery stores.

A child acted like a child at a movie directed at children.
You find this upsetting and unbelievable.

Have you seen Captain America? How many times do you have to be told it isnt a children's movie. It is rated PG-13, not G. Not PG. It has been stated over and over that it isnt a kids movie. Cars 2 and Bambi are child's movies.

My guess is whatever parent you have isn't doing a very good job. No kid of mine would EVER post something like you did. Nor come close to getting a hit in. Wise up; your mom/dad/whoever might let you get away with that, but someday, there WILL be someone that won't. They will be bigger, and won't hesitate to knock you out.
Smacking an out-of-line kid, any age, isn't abuse. It's teaching basic survival in the world.

If you were my parent you wouldnt be conscious to think about what happens after the first hit. Im not some little slave that can be thrown around and I dont care that they are my parent I shouldnt have to be forced into doing things I wouldnt want to
You shouldn't but you will be, your entire working life.
Or you actually enjoy paying taxes?
Just one of the lessons good childhood disciplin brings, things won't always (hardly ever) be/go the way YOU want it, live with it.

The generation I am in does not like being hit. I want to kill my mom anytime she threatens me or tries to hit me. Sorry, But if you can hit me, B*** i can hit you back.

My father is dead.
My mothr works 1 job all day for 3 kids and to feed an extra cousin
She is the only one who pays the taxes and the bills
She constantly tells me that I have to work hard to get a job
At the same time she is currently trying ot finish college.
Before you come and tell me how to act and how I should act, I am not from any genereation "Win". I am disciplined without having to be beat. It doesn't take a hand for a child to realize how harsh the world is. I look down upon anyone who lays hands on tehir children, and I always intervene when my mother tries to hit my little sister. It disgusts me that you have to beat sense into something like it had no mind. I learned the truths of the world by myself, not with the help of a leather belt.
So.....you say your mother is working very hard, trying to raise several kids, and finish school, but you would call her "b****", and hit her, if she smacked you for getting out of line? Severe lack of appreciation there, or what??? You want "want to kill" her? For raising you, supporting you? THAT disgusts me. Seriously. Are you talking a spanking? Something that's GONE five minutes later? Or actual ABUSE? That means marks there hours later, welts, etc. As for work, she's feeding five, counting herself, and you think she's out of line expecting you to help, if you are old enough for a job? Gee, maybe you should just move out.
Seriously, this is the sort of thing that's started some people here wanting to ban kids.....edit on 29-7-2011 by LadyGreenEyes because: explanation

ROFLMAO!!! Priceless. Reminds of the comedian who talked about his flight where some brat was screaming and running around the plane the whole 4 hours of flight. Then, just before the plane landed, he fell asleep. As the mother was leaving the plane, he screamed at the kid and woke him up. The entire plane applauded!edit on 29-7-2011 by haarvik because: (no reason given)
