Really, i understand that kids can be annoying sometimes, it's just that your criticism seems rather arbitrary. Many of them could be as accurately leveled at drunk people, but i imagine you're more willing to accept their behavior, or at the very least, not avoid places where you might come into contact with them.
But you know, before i had a kid, i could have really cared less about them. I was certainly more prone to being annoyed by them then to cut them some slack.

No, even in my drinking days, I didn't tolerate moronic drunks. I left the bar before all the "amateur" drinkers came in. It also meant I did not go to bars late on Friday and Saturday, St. Patrick's day, Cinco de Mayo, New Year's Eve, etc. because you are right, assholes abound.
There is no such thing as embarassment or shame any longer. No one is ashamed of anything. DUI, jail, whatever, no one cares anymore. I believe it is because we tolerate and allow it. I don't want to have to tolerate people's bad behavoir. I already have to tolerate my fair share of the assholea people on the bus and the subway, the sidewalks of NYC. I worked in Times Square for close to 11 years. I'm plum out of patience for moronics.
