If they can't shut up, they should be required to be sedated. There's nothing worse than a screaming child when you are trying to sleep/read/stare at the stewardesses' legs.
If I started screaming like that they would chuck me off the plane, why the double standards? Sedate them.

Re: kids on aeroplanes should be sedated
nah fuc*k that then you'll have to put up with the buggers snorring and sniffling and whinning in their sleep.
I've often though they should be stuck in the hold with the dogs and cats... of course parents suffering from seperation anxiety should be allow to go down there as well.

Re: kids on aeroplanes should be sedated
yeah right. Fat people, smelly people, ugly people and ginger-haired people should also not be allowed out. They're too offensive to the rest of us.

Re: kids on aeroplanes should be sedated
I can't say don't allow babies on planes, because how else are they going to see their grandparents on Christmas?
But I've always wondered why parents take toddlers on holidays. I mean, they are never going to have a memory of those vacations anyway when they grow up...

Re: kids on aeroplanes should be sedated
In that case, Watson, why do anything remotely fun with any child before the age of 3 if they're not going to remember it anyway. May as well keep them locked up in the bedroom out of everyone else's way.

Re: kids on aeroplanes should be sedated
Its quite simple...having a baby activates a dormant chromosome which makes you want to piss off everyone else as much as possible.
The only reasonably minded way -that I think everyone will agree with- to solve this issue is to load every baby in to a giant basket and ask superman to throw them into the sun.
Think of how pretty it will look on TV, and how much more money for smokes everyone will have.
Everyone wins, especially the babies....they get to meet superman!
Wish I was a baby.

Re: kids on aeroplanes should be sedated
Actually toddlers can remember some things and the memories are also for the parents and other relatives that would miss those early times with the toddler enjoying the moment even if they don't remember.
And if you have ever been on a long distance flight siting next to people with awful breath, body odor, and eating their garlic and onion laden food they brought on the airplane for the 13 hour trip from Beijing to New York, you would sell your soul to be next to a baby. That child may cry from time to time, but certainly not as long as enduring the entire flight with the aforementioned pair that I had to deal with.

Re: kids on aeroplanes should be sedated
Yeah, I can't bitch about babies on airplanes. They are better than the little emporers who run up and down the aisle. And I bring my cat on board with me all the time and I'nm sure some people didn't like that either

Re: kids on aeroplanes should be sedated
Listen up, I've been on the 14-hour flight Beijing to Toronto with a ton o' babies being adopted my Canadian parents!
...25-30 babies on that flight, each taking turns crying or the entire load of them crying all at once, and I slept for 8 hours just fine. My husband, on the other hand, didn't sleep a wink and was a zombie by the time we got off the plane. Who cares? It's a blip in your life. 14 hours!
...plus I enjoyed watching the parents with their new little ones...you could tell some of them were thinking 'what have I gotten myself into?', lol

Re: kids on aeroplanes should be sedated
Kids up to age 3 should be at home for the holidays, not on airplanes. Better: Kids under 3 should not be ALLOWED on airplanes. If relatives want to see them, they should go to the kids until then.
And, above all, there is NO WAY they should be allowed in First Class.

Re: kids on aeroplanes should be sedated
I think kids over 3 might be worse. They are probably the ones that will continue to kick your seat despite the parents and your urging. They will be ones singing loudly, throwing things and not sleeping very much. At least with those 2 or under, they will definitely have their nap times, the 3 or olders... maybe not.

Re: kids on aeroplanes should be sedated
yep!
if -praise the lord- some ass hole accidentally impregnates me with the baby disease....
i would totally train the child to be a absolute sh*t head in public... i would teach it to walk around restaurants and take food off strangers plates.... yell at people who are talking on their cell phone... walk up to men point at their penis and ask "what is that?" ....

Re: kids on aeroplanes should be sedated
If a family has several kids you'd be preventing them from visiting home for the best part of a decade - a high price and your flight is going to be uncomfortable anyway.
It's normal to have kids (i.e. abnormal not to have them)
Agree with that, fair enough.

Re: kids on aeroplanes should be sedated
Quite possibly - along with people who don't have cars, don't smoke or keep dogs etc.
Having kids is, never-the-less, the norm. Our parents all had them.
PS I used to think just like you guys before I had kids.

Re: kids on aeroplanes should be sedated
Planes is a kind of public transportation. Not private (unless you have a plane). Therefore your complaints have the same effect as me saying: "People who don't think kids should be allowed on the plane should not be allowed on the plane."
It's better to be nice, kind, generous, friendly, helpful, sexy and rich than to be obnoxious, scary, stinky, stingy, lonely and poor.

Re: kids on aeroplanes should be sedated
No my friend, you are wrong. There is something far, far worse. Something so much worse, than until you have experienced it, no words can truly express the enormity of its ability to suck everything positive and good from you, leaving only the gibbering shell of a human in its place.
And that's being the PARENT of a screaming child on a long haul.
croozn
Re: kids on aeroplanes should be sedated
That's true enough, but you can beat the living $hit out of those kids when their parents go to the bathroom, and no one else near you is going to complain.
Another thing: Little kids are DEAD MEAT if something goes wrong in flight. I have seen parents sit there like idiots with their kids - unbelted - in their laps while they plane is on final approach and the dumbass flight attendants (CA) do nothing about it. Or running up and down the aisles during turbulence (same CA flight) - the flight attendants were afraid to mess with the "xiao huangdi".
As for First Class: AT the LEAST they should not be allowed to use "award points" for the seats. If they want their screaming rug rats in First Class, by them a $15,000 round trip ticket to the US!
Suddenly, it may not seem so important to take them along!!
Maybe that would work for the rest of the seats, too.

Re: kids on aeroplanes should be sedated
I can imagine - havn't you ever been tempted to tell them they have a cold and give them cough medicine or something?
Or what else works to keep them quiet? On a recent flight the little bastard behind me was just shouting "ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH", for ages - kept waking me up. The parent was trying to read stories, i was thinking wouldn't a slap around the head sort it out?
Just say before you get on the flight - listen sonny, you make that kind of noise you'll get a clip round the ear, understand? Whack! That's what it feels like, just so you know. You want more? No? good, now stop snivelling you little girl, you want me to tell your friends you cry like a girl? You little wimp. Remember what I said or you gets another one.
That would sort it.

Re: kids on aeroplanes should be sedated
Right, child abuse will do the trick. This is why we have so many f***ed-up adults. If someone is at all ambivalent about having kids, they just should not, period. Why give some kid a miserable childhood? The world is over populated as it is, and we are quickly running out of resources.
microphonehead
Re: kids on aeroplanes should be sedated
Bit of discipline never hurt anyone. A clip round the ear isn't child abuse.
LaunchCowboy
Re: kids on aeroplanes should be sedated
It may not be physical child abuse but its is certainly psychological child abuse. an adult threatening a small child with unrelated social reprocussions?
there is a reason why cruel and unusual punishment is outlawed in the US
I pray you never have children.

@microphonehead..
whinge, whinge, whine, whine...
Can't get to sleep because the kiddies are too noisy. Can't enjoy your favorite book..Ohhhh! You poor little fellow.
You are probably the kind of traveller who when handed his coffee, says "it's too hot". the stewardess replies "how about this cup sir'', "Oh No, it's too cold". "The beef or the fish sir",... "don't you have pork".
Captain, I am microphonehead, can you turn the engine noise down a little, I'm trying to sleep........
You weak c**t!
Here is an idea for you. Instead of sedating the kids, why don't you just ............ 'SEDATE YOURSELF'
