This is a ludicrous idea. =/ What about when we were all kids. Were we banned from these sort of places? No. If you don't have kids and have never been a parent then in my opinion you have no right whatsoever to make their lives harder. So what if a kid's crying. You would have done. Just man up and deal with it. Pretty sure it was said that patience is a virtue.
my country needs more children so i say no generaly 
no banning children is a rather backwards move. banning things that ANNOY you is you know.. kind of lazy. OH YEAH I DONT LIKE KIDS THEY ARE SO LOUD AND SHIT LETS BAN KIDS.
well i do agree that there are certain places where kids shouldnt be. But Restaurants are not one of these places, neither are (not party oriented) holiday resorts.

So, kids under the age of 13 shouldn't be allowed into moves rated 'Parental Guidance for Children under 13'Canid117 said:
Bullocks.
Go to later showings where kids are less likely to be.
Hell, I'm 15 and I agree with this rule. I went to watch Harry Potter (a 12 rated film), and a 5 year old behind was narrating the whole film, and all the mother did was tell him to sit still. I reckon most of the cinema was tempted to hit the little twat. From what I've learnt, kids become less annoying around the age of 11, so maybe a ban from that age and below in certain places?
I may have been exaggerating slightly when I suggested it would become an all out ban on children in public places. But over time, it wouldn't be far off. As the idea of 'no kids' allowed spread, more and more people would realise that they too hated loud children, and would attempt to implement similar rules in their own place of work. You'd have children free malls, airport terminals, maybe even churches.faranar said:
A better solution to me is either to plan around children where possible (not as restrictive as it seems - dinner date? Go for somewhere between 7 and 8 PM. Movie? Again, late evening. Y'know, the times most people are free anyway, and most kids are at home) or to do the exact opposite of what's suggested here, and have kid-friendly film-screenings, or some kind of children's happy hour in restaurants. A point at which kids' stuff is cheaper, so they essentially contain themselves to events in those time periods. Much less intrusive/heavy handed than preventing them access the rest of the time.
Kid free flights are a ludicrous notion. Booking holidays/trips is hard enough as it is (especially as a parent, it seems) without being told that your travelling options are yet more limited than you thought. (although a seating section for parents/children could be feasible, maybe)
A final point - I have a 5 year old sister. I assure you, she knows when she's being annoying. If one has the capability to realise that, one also has the ability to be a little quieter when asked, whether by the annoyed party or by a parent. To stereotype slightly, the average teenager is actually less likely to respond to a request to STFU, and generally less amenable to the suggestion that they're being exceptionally irritating. Far more experiences have been lessened for me by the noise generated by those in their early-to-mid teens than by younger children.
I think that instead of kids being banned from places, parents should be allowed to punish them correctly... and by that I mean physically. I hate how when I was growing up, I was spanked and all sorts of shit when I did something wrong, and yet now if a kids is even touch harshly, child services appears out of freaking nowhere.
I hate kids and am genuinely uncomfortable around them. That said they have every right to be present at a restaurant or a movie theater. The problem isn't the kids fault anyways, its more the parents simply being inconsiderate towards the comfort of others.
Totally for it. Screw the children. I can live without hearing a kid scream for 10 minutes because the parents are too lazy to stop it.
I'd rather ban bad parenting, but yeah. It would be great if certain places came with an age limit, say restaurants, but where do you draw the line? I know of quiet infants and loud ten-year-olds, so it's hard to say who gos and who stays. I'd love childless airplane rides. I'd love childless train compartments. But I don't see it working out, practically speaking.
Funnily enough, I disagreed with this until right about my 18th birthday. Then suddenly I was totally cool with it. Funny that.
Most of us supporting this movement don't hate children. I shouldn't have to deal with your problem - that is a fact of life. And how would a vasectomy help me sleep in the plane or hear the movie?UberaDpmn said:Can't believe their are so many people who hate children, if you hate them so much I guess you'd have hated yourself as well.
Maybe if you don't like children so much you should all get vasectomies and stop whining about it.
Personally, as a kid I hated when there were adverts for child-free resorts and things like that. I thought it was offensive at the age of, like, 6 or something.
And yeah, it is annoying when a child is screaming constantly on a long flight, but that's just a fact of life (The high pressure in the child's ear causing pain) or the parents fault for not soothing them.
I think I can sum this up with:
This is a problem and sooner or later it will be solved.
Would you people just stop trolling and think for a second.
Well, my analogy starts getting wierd, since crap comes from the rectum, just like bad kids come from bad parents... duct tape and crap makes gold, but duct tape and someone's ass sounds like one hell of a mess.SL33TBL1ND said:
