Reply #302: And when I see someone come into a restaurant with kids,

[Rabrrrrrr]

I don't know that they're not gonna be screaming and raising a ruckus.

I think judging someone guilty by association is assinine.

If we can keep childless people out of playgrounds just because they might be a pedophile (which is so rare as to be laughable), then we can keep children out of restaurants because they might be loud, and we can keep black people out of libraries because they might play their iPod loud enough for everyone to hear, and we can keep women out of sporting goods stores because they might drop an expensive scope, and we can keep men out of women's clothing stores because they might have a bra fetish, and we can keep teenagers out of malls because they might paint graffiti...


See, this is all insanely assinine. "Person A" can't do something, because "Person B" is afraid that "People like Person A" might pose a threat.

Fuck that.

If it's a public park (whether you want to go through the bullshit semantics of calling it a "playground" or a "play area", it's still a "public park"), then EVERYONE gets to be in it.

My God, when I was in NYC in July, I sat in one of the dog run areas at Union Square and..... E-FUCKING-GADS!.... I HAD NO DOG WITH ME! I might have been a dog thief! Or a dog rapist!
