LEAVE YOUR LOUD FUCKING OFFSPRING @ HOME!

[Mourning Star]

So, at Applebee's the other day, or as I like to call it "Denny's with stupid shit on the walls"  Amanda and I were enjoying a reasonably tasty meal, paid for by the federal government as we're now able to use our college meal plans at all sorts of places around town.  (Why the fuck else would I eat at this place?)

We were enjoying our meal.  And having very enjoyable conversation.  This festival of enjoyment of course was soon interrupted by the air-piercing shriek of an infant, and then crying, continuous fucking crying.  Not long after the sound of another parent, at another table, yelling at their kid, this one probably between 6 and 10 to stop running around, and then to stop throwing ice at his sister, and then to stop spitting, and so on.

This is when my mind started to churn out the rant that I write below.

"Dear Inconsiderate Parents,
                                   Please refrain from bringing your children with you to so-called "Fine Dining" establishments if you are incapable of keeping them placated and disciplined.  Please keep in mind that this is not McDonalds, and your McChildren should not be climbing on tables or booths, and especially should not attempt to climb to the top of a barstool.  I would further point out that if there is a BAR and televisions with SPORTS on them, chances are this is not a place for children.  It is this type of place that people might bring a date, or a signifigant other.  And if our desires are leaning towards the carnal after our meal, the last thing we need to be reminded of is the possibility of reproduction and the cultivation of a parasitic being.  I say again, HEARING YOUR SCREAMING CHILDREN RESULTS IN MY GIRLFRIEND NO LONGER BEING INTERESTED IN SEXUAL INTERCOURSE AND I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU! 

I can eat in my home and be stressed out, and so can you.  When I go out to eat, I like to relax, and allow some of my stress to be forgotten, if you MUST bring your stress with you to dinner, then by all means, take them to McDonalds, they have a playpen, and you can send the demonic little fuckers into there and hope they get lost or break their necks.

To reiterate my original statement, clearly and concisely, LEAVE YOUR LOUD FUCKING OFFSPRING AT HOME YOU TOOTHLESS IGNORANT WHITE TRASH FUCKS!

I have a 12 yr old who can't stand the sight or sound of bratty kids in restaurants when he's trying to eat either(this goes for me as well). He rarely ever acted up when he was little and when he did I'd jerk him by the arm and we'd leave.
He didn't like the idea of leaving his food behind so it didn't happen often.
But I agree, show some consideration when your kids act up.
Leave em at home, discipline them or walk out with them.

Well, stop the fucking presses.  What?  You went to a cheap chain store, and those horrible - what did you call them? - "white trash" had a baby that CRIED?

Babies will do that, and this does not preclude parents being able to go out once in a while.  Your "right" to peace and quiet ended the moment you walked out your fucking door.

Get the fuck over it, dumbshit.

about the crying i'm with Roger, babies will do that, not very much you can do about it. even though it is annoying as anything, if not in the least that humans are instinctually conditioned to find the sound of "crying baby" the most annoying sound evar (survival thingy, there). i believe they even use it for torture

but about climbing on stuff, throwing food, etc. that's a question of discipline, and therefore can be the parents responsibility IMHO. being "white trash" is not an excuse.

[tyrannosaurus vex]

There are too many people who are more than happy to be white trash (or trash of some other variety).  People take no pride in their appearance, no time with their children, they're too busy pleasing themselves to face the responsibilities of being a parent.  Such people are worthless because they produce a succeeding generation even more morally and intellectually vacant than they are.  They ought to be denied the privilege of procreation, in my opinion.

But then, most humans (myself included) have several character flaws that would put them in that category according to somebody.  So I take the high road and feel free to despise these people and put booby traps in their path, but avoid firing lethal weapons at them most of the time.

As a father of a 3-year old girl I'm probably biased.  Although, I think by in large when we go out to eat with her she's always acted pretty well.  There's been a couple of occassions where she got a little pissy and threw her crayons, etc. But that isn't the norm and so that kind of behavior can't always be predicted.

If you are frequenting a restaurant that's actually proactive and thinks about their customer's comfort, they will try to seat all of the families with children in a certain section.

I never stated a RIGHT to peace.  I stated my OPINION that a so-called "fine dining establishment" is no place for an infant.  The concept of getting a babysitter when going out is not a new one, so don't feed me that "parents rights" bullshit.  Also, when I was a child, acting like a complete fuckass in public was a sure fire way of being brought the fuck home and properly disciplined.

I have nothing against children.  I have a LOT against inadequate parenting.

But not us.  We're DIFFERENT.

Why, yes.  The government should start mandating who gets to breed.  After all, the government has shown itself to be fair and corruption-free so far, right?  Right right right right?

Dumbshits.  All of you.

BECAUSE EVERY SET OF YOUNG PARENTS WHO GOES TO APPLEBEES CAN AFFORD BOTH A NIGHT OUT AND A BABYSITTER.

I AM CONSTANTLY AMAZED AT THE LEVEL OF SHEER GENIUS EXHIBITED ON THESE HERE SUPERIOR MUTANT BOARDS.

UNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!

TGRR,
Thinks you should never have kids.  Ever.  Just some advice.

I am constantly amazed at the sheer amount of liquid hate you can shit all over something simply because your opinion differs from it.

I was ranting, ranting doesn't have to be "Right" or "correct"  In this case, it was me, venting about something that pissed me off.  But by all means, continue to prove how morally and intellectually superior you are to me by showing me just what a complete asshole I am for getting annoyed by something when so many people out there have really real problems.

I am held to a different standard than you mortals.  Therefore, I reserve the right to poop all over you.

Horrible Bastard.

You missed my 2nd paragraph, where I basically said everybody's on somebody's shitlist, so to make the best of it you should just jake the people you hate and leave it at that.

As for my opinion, it's primate-based and I won't say I'm sorry.

Who asked you to say you're sorry?

Some people still feel the need to roll around in the monkey cage.  *shrug*
