is this fool trying to say that if we don’t let children inside restaurants then when they grow up they won’t pay our SS benefits?

Banning children is simply illegal: a violation of federal law. It's also immoral, as well as being a really stupid long-term business strategy in this economic environment.

Restaurants are public accomodations and they cannot discriminate on the basis of age.

Some attorney is going to make a killing, and this restauranteur is begging for it.

And yes: if you want to cash Social Security checks on the backs of those children one day, you're going to have to treat them as if they were your fellow human beings and endure their presence.

What I find hilarious (other than the fact that many of the applauders of this child ban labor under the delusion that they are also Christians), is that many of those complaining about the presence of children are the same people who whine about not being able to blow smoke on other people while they're eating.

Something like that. Seems like the author thinks that if you criticize bad behavior of children and don't want to put up with it you should be lumped with people who hate children.

It doesn't make a lot of sense but it makes the author feel smart and important.

So if you criticize her I'm going to lump you in with people who kill reporters. -sarc
