I once played John Grant - GMF on the jukebox at a bar. I later saw that there were two children in that bar. Have I sinned?

I once queued Dire Straits - Walk of Life 5 times in a row at a bar. I don't recall if there were any children present. Have I sinned?

clearly if you bring a child to a bar you accept that they will be exposed to adult language and adult behavior. it is likely they may see twerking, or cocaine. the parent accepts this.

BTW, I was amazed to learn how many states allow kids to drink in bars as long as a parent is present.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 13 April 2014 00:00 (ten years ago) link
How many? Don't make me google.
― Belgian Flanders Albums Chart (Sufjan Grafton), Sunday, 13 April 2014 00:00 (ten years ago) link
At least 8 or so outright. Others with various exceptions (like for religious purposes, or medical purposes, etc.)
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 13 April 2014 00:03 (ten years ago) link
OK, I think it's 10 states. 45 states, I think, allow underage drinking under certain circumstances.

Bars in Georgia have a choice, either allow smoking or allow kids in the bar. If a bar allows smoking, then nobody under 21 can enter. It's a good compromise, the best bars in atl allow smoking ( I'm not a smoker) but u don't have to deal with kids.

"i'm guessing you don't have kids" is def one of the most annoying things parents say to non-parents, esp in that superior tone it usually comes in
damn right i don't and there's a reason for that. i don't like them or being around them. i'm not going to be overtly displeased with kids in bars (well, kid-friendly bars, some bars would be just wrong) but i reserve the right to prefer them elsewhere and bitch about it privately afterwards. i don't think "enjoying the company of strangers' kids" should be a general expectation. i don't like the company of obnoxious adults either and pick the places i socialise to avoid them where possible and basically 90% of kids have the same effect.
kids that i actually know are slightly easier to tolerate, i guess.

Suspect cultural differences factor in though. Found this which I did not know about
Before 1995 children under the age of 14 were not allowed in pubs in England and Wales
― gyac, Sunday, 13 April 2014 13:00 (ten years ago) link
every neighbourhood should have one big kid-friendly pub and then everyone without kids (and parents on a night out) would know exactly where to avoid. you're welcome.
fwiw i usually don't like other people's kids and i especially don't like other parents so i feel you non-parents on this one
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Sunday, 13 April 2014 14:42 (ten years ago) link
it's really less the kids themselves and more the expectation that everyone should be as delighted by their existence as their parents are, and that non-parents who object somehow "don't get it" or whatever

Unless these are nieces and nephews, I don't think I've ever met a parent that assumed my affection for his or her children.
― Belgian Flanders Albums Chart (Sufjan Grafton), Sunday, 13 April 2014 16:53 (ten years ago) link
well, not affection, but more the perspective (as on this thread) that anyone who objects to kids or dislikes their presence is being intolerant or somehow unreasonable

Saying u dont like kids is like saying u dont like short people or people w red hair or big feet or something, imho

Yeah, stupid kids interrupting my silent contemplation at the pin-drop quiet corner bar. It's all downhill from there. First come the kids, then come the jukeboxes, then comes the beer... Oh, wait, it starts with the beer, sorry. First comes the beer, then comes the drunks, then comes the ... huh, you're right, drunk people are loud, too. Hmm ... last comes the kids?
