Too bad we all have to deal with society. There are some adults I would like to see taken outside because they ruin my good time. But somehow they are still allowed to vote, drive cars, make additional humans, participate in a jury, and work. These are all things that could and do affect me personally much more significantly than just a ruined evening.

Is it possible that the unruly adults are responsible for the fact that their children act like demons? Could be. So when a sweeping generalization about children is spun out like thoughtless spew, I take offense.
