No.

This article from the BBC raises an interesting point.

Having separated areas is a great idea.  Obnoxious children with shit parents shouldn't be allowed to travel on planes or trains with civilised society.  I say civilised but we all know that you'll never get rid of the asshole with really loud music.  I hasten to suggest that the asshole in question was at one stage the child we are trying to protect ourselves from with this suggestion of segregation.

Interestingly, someone allowed a complete moron to comment on the article, espousing such wisdom as:

"I very, very much think that people need to be tolerant.  People who have a problem with children in flights needs to get over it."

Well.  I'm glad I didn't miss the irony of this statement, it's quite subtle.  Re-read it again and tell me if you didn't chuckle to yourself a little.  People need to be tolerant.  People need to adhere to my world view.  I see, mister asshat.  Thanks for your input on that one.

That's not mentioning the 'get over it,' line, as if a four year old screaming in your face for eight hours while the parents ignore it, is something willpower can overcome.  Or fucking assholes kicking the back of your chair for twelve hours while you're flying across several continents.  Yeah, get over it.

What a self-absorbed asshole.  Then again, parents expect preferential treatment because they're continuing the human race.  Well done.  You're also destroying the planet (that you wear hemp socks to protect) to a far greater extent than I ever could.  Square that circle you sanctimonious douchebag.

There are plenty of people and children in the world, what makes yours special?  Nothing.  Get over it and yourself.

It also says in the article that people might resent being treated as second class citizens.  I think it's a brilliant idea.  Concentrate all the scum in one place, let them all scream their pathetic lungs till explosion, and let the parents try ignoring the caterwauling of a dozen kids.  Now you see why we hate you.

As the last point on this subject that has me so irate, it shouldn't be the innocent passenger who should pay extra to have child-free zones, it should be the goddamn family that insists on ruining the day of everyone else.  They are taking their non-cognisant spawn to fuck knows where, for the purpose of DOING NOTHING WITH IT.  IT WILL NOT REMEMBER THE HOLIDAY.  IT WILL MAKE MORE STRESS FOR YOU.  IS THAT WHAT YOU CALL A HOLIDAY?

Christ on a bike.
