An airline says it will offer baby-free 'quiet zones' on its flights. Should all planes and trains follow suit, or do adults need to learn to live with child passengers?
Should there be child-free zones on planes and trains?

Didn't read the article, but yeah, sounds like a good idea. Kids can be pretty annoying.

I think its discriminatory, we were all children once, how come society never complained like people today? People today have got it too good, they have so many expectations that they now want to revert to caveman attitudes of " children should be seen but not heard". Yes kids can be annoying but so can adults playing loud music on public transport. Adults airing their dirty laundry on mobile phones, no i dont want to know when youre meeting your g/f or what you;re having for lunch i dont give two hoots, where i come from phone conversations are private. Ladies doing their full make up on the train. Men burping, picking their noses. While we're at it lets put the disabled folks in a different part of the train, because their wheelchairs are getting in the way.
Since having kids ive noticed how intolerant some adults are towards children, i mean babies? If a child cries or whines they all stare at you, like youre supposed to shut that baby up straight away so as not to disturb the peace. Well thats what used to happen in the west midlands, not in lovely scotland. To be honest i used to feel like a bad parent if my baby was crying and i couldnt hush her/him. But after2 babies i took a more relaxed attitude. Why should i feel embarrassed babies cry, that is their language, until they can speak, Even when they canspeak if they cant articulate themselves sufficiently they will moan, that is normal too. I dont care if people stare, if it they dont like the sound they can increase the volume on their fancy gadgets.
