Hipsters demand right to take crying kids to bars

[Whiffleball Ace]

This is fucking ridiculous!
Are we really debating this?
It's just like the thread with the kids in the dog park.
Dog parks are for dogs. Kid parks are for kids. Bars are for people who want to unwind, get drunk, get laid/raped, forget their own problems, watch a game, see a show...etc. Chuckie-Cheese... well if you've ever been there, you know what that's for.
I'm all for a universal ban on children in bars. It's fucking stupidity.

I have kids and dogs and, though I love them, I would not want to hang with them in a bar.

I'm for a universal ban on bringing dogs anywhere in public except dogs parks, and a requirement to move you're child out of any establishment if it starts screaming. Will this ever happen? No. But a man can dream.

Any establishment that requires adult behavior - I agree - movies - non-family restaurants - I understand.

If I rewarded my 2 year old for every tantrum and punished her for every test of my will I would be required to attend only outdoor establishments. I don't think a kid really should be in a bar - but what's wrong with the occasional - DADDY'S GETTING THE TIRES CHANGED beer? Let the market dictate the reality. That's why Euro bars and restaurants are better - they understand that collective drinking is the cornerstone of good family life.

As Nevets and Torsion know, this shit isn't even an issue at redneck bars. People are more likely to take their kids there than dogs, because they usually give 2 shits about their dogs and leave them at home chained to a tree.
Dogs at bars pisses me off, too, btw. My friend used to take her dog to the bar and tie it up next to us out on the patio and it annoyed me to no end.

so get your local bar owner to put up a "no kids" sign. problem solved without having to pay any civil servants to enact a law that has to be paid for to be enforced, and everybody wins.

Are the hipsters to blame for these kids trying land planes at the airports here? I don't know if they are, but I'm going to blame them anyways.

[hipster holocaust]

I'm going to be bummed if that traffic controller loses his job over that.

my dad used to take me to biker bars when i was really young. nobody ever seemed to mind me, but then they were mostly people i'd see around the house as well. i learned some pretty fucked up shit at those places though.

I hated going to bars with my dad when I was little not because most of his buddies were ex-con speed freaks, cokeheads, over the hill hippie beauty queens and rednecks, but because I just didn't like being the center of attention at all. Just let me sit at the bar with my Dr. Pepper and play with my GI Joe in peace.

my parents would drag me to their loud ass shows, with pretty much all of these things going on and then some. my dad would take frequent "cabbage" breaks in the parking lot.

gave us no earplugs, either. to this day i rarely think to wear them...

i was at a Einstürzende Neubauten show a few years ago and there were two rather young children (8 or 9 or whatever) there, right in the first few rows next to their parents. suddenly Alex Hacke, the bassist, saw them and got pretty big eyes. in the next break between songs, he went towards the edge of the stage and, with a big smile, handed the kids two huge pieces of earmuffs.

Didn't that band at one point record all the rest of them beating up the singer?

hahaha, that's the first time, i've heard this. but blixa, while definitely deserving a good beating, is surely too much of a pussy. i'd buy the record!

Yeah. It was a long time ago...I remember reading about it in an interview. He said it was like a "religious experience" or whatever. I think they just set up some mikes in a room and kicked the crap out of him. More bands should do this.

it's a pretty nice story, but i'm pretty sure, you're pulling my leg here.

That's some pretty responsible rock n' roll right there.

Do you mean like these? Haven't seen bottles like these since the 80's/early 90's.
