I don't think I deserved that. ;):P

 

But seriously...just because some people are over-sensitive and can't have kids within ten yards of them, it doesn't therefore follow that kids should be able to run all over the place like little hellions. In general, reasonable people are going to keep reasonable control of their kids (i.e. keep them in their seats, keep them from shouting at the top of their lungs), and reasonable people are going to give kids leeway within those boundaries to be kids.

 

What I'm specifically thinking of, through this whole thread, is the idiots who let their children run around like amphetamine-soaked demons being physically disruptive, and laugh it off with "Kids will be kids". There is a happy medium between "Children should be seen and not heard", and "Children should be seen and heard by everyone in the building."

Warning, tangent.

 

Question.

 

Was Abe Lincoln a reasonable man?

 

If you don't get it... Do a little research on his parenting.

This is a trick question: This year I learned that Lincoln was a closeted homosexual, a manic depressive, suicidal, misunderstood, psychic for having premonitions of his own demise, a participant in seances and the dark arts, and a doting father unable to control his own children or spending habits of his wife.

(and you deserve evey one of those)

 

WTF does that have top do with ANYTHING? What was reasonable in the mid-1800's was...well...was SLAVERY. Yeah, let's use the 1800's as our standard for what's reasonable today.
