It's not nearly as bad as the sound of children laughing.
- arcanemachiner 4y agoThe absolute horror.
- unixgoddess 4y agofor many people there's nothing beautiful in a child's laughter, especially if they don't have children of their own, so they are only getting the annoyance of noise without the good parts. moreover, in my experience, when children play, 80% of their interactions is ugly insult-throwing, not laughter. Also, why should the wishes of a group (children) be more important than those of another (those who wish to enjoy some quiet in their own home)? In this case, it would be easy to reach a compromise. You want to play basketball? go to a proper public park. You want to sing your lungs off? go to a proper karaoke place. And so on. Also, what's the beauty of a laughter achieved at the expense of others' pain?

- jakear 4y agoA brief look at their comment history makes me quite sure they should be kept far away from... anyone, really. Except maybe a psychiatrist. To the grand parent, if you're reading this: please get help. Your views on what activities are/aren't appropriate for children have no place in civil society. 9 year olds, dude.
- unixgoddess 4y agoand who are you to say what "civil society" means? more importantly, attacking the messenger rather than rationally discuss their arguments is very suspicious...
- jakear 4y agoDon't confuse "the messenger" with "the messenger's message, viewed in context with their other messages on related matters". Or do, because they're both you.
- unixgoddess 4y agonope, your comment is all about me personally, my mental health, not my ideas. It's the age old "argument" used to dismiss rational conversation: "no point discussing it, it comes from a crazy guy"
