Governor Dinwiddie You sound lik an inflexible, leftie, twat. Ban children from libraries, what a putz! Please try to explain yourself.
What’s the problem—are the kids distracting the derelicts from watching their porn?
I’d rather put up with children who might inadvertently become interested in reading than the scum that regularly infest that once-sacrosanct space. Of course, given the smut peddled by our “professional” ALA librarians, it’s probably best to keep children away. My childhood librarian, Mrs. Griffith, would roll over in her grave if she saw the state of affairs today!
As for the rest of you, shame on you! The lack of manners is hardly defined by age. I see more rude adults these days than children. My children, numbering in the double digits, were so well-behaved in restaurants that strangers occasionally paid for our meals!
