Well, what do you know? I live in Prague right now! I don't know if it's a thing about this city and not in others or something, but I don't recall seeing kids out there very often. I hope you had a nice time here (I know I like it!)!

Honestly, I don't know why people think all of Europe brings out babies to bars. They certainly don't where I live. I mean, no more than in the US, anyway.

I agree completely. There are just some spaces where children, no matter how well-behaved or quiet, just don't need to be. Bars are really more of an adult space, and when the kids are old enough, they can go, too. But until then, they don't need to be there. It's okay to have spaces where kids aren't welcome.

I agree. I feel like there are times and places for young children to be out and about. I mean, if I'm at a family-style restaurant in the afternoon, I need to shut up and deal with it. If it's 10 pm at a bar, that might not be the best (time or) place for a young child. There are some places that kids just don't…

I used to play both the piano and the trumpet as a kid (and my sister played the saxophone and piano!). I actually really miss it, but I have nowhere I could practice/play again without bothering a ton of people. Booooo.

I actually really liked that movie! It was pretty intense for a Disney movie, though.

Haha, don't we all? :)

Well, to be fair (and I'm not a huge fan of The Little Mermaid), the reason he leaves her is because he's under a spell from the villain of the piece, and returns to her once the spell is broken. I think that's broad enough idea that kids can understand. Plus, he falls in love with her when she can't speak, because…

I think part of it is that many people know that many marriages don't last, or that some couples just aren't good for one another. It's hard to be happy for your friend when they're declaring their love for a person who doesn't respect or support them, but they don't see it. Or if they're getting married out of…

I smile when I'm nervous, and I think a lot of other people do, too. It sucks if you feel like you're reinforcing it!

I agree completely. And I'd never want an overnight guest to feel like they'd have to leave my place to find accommodations. Seriously, I'm not going to be like, "gross, s/he just pooped! All sex appeal is lost!". Even if it's horrible diarrhea. I mean, you don't choose to have diarrhea, and it's a pretty…

I have a bit of a touchy past when it comes to trust and sexuality (ah, like everyone else, probably), and having someone ask me makes me feel much more comfortable and safe. If you think you can just touch me and get upset when I don't like it, you are not a safe person for me. You might think it's something small,…

I do love garlic soup, even if it means I won't have friends for days.

Absolutely! I mean, I can't say I'm the biggest fan of her music, but damn, I hope she does well for herself.

Yeah, I assumed this was less of a "the administrators actually thought this was the appropriate thing to do" and more of a "we don't have very many options" or "this was the rule on the rulebook and we want to follow protocol so we don't have any loose ends, even if it's not the most rational thing".

Seriously? Man, that's depressing.

AR is one of the reasons I stopped reading for fun. I stopped enjoying books because I went straight into study mode to pass the test.

Jesus, that's awful. I am so sorry. I know you said you already knew, but indeed, that was not your fault. It's his fault for being a horrible person. I hope you have all the support you need.

I only read the Karen books because as a kid, I looked exactly like her. I don't remember ever liking the books.

Depends on the partners. For me, no, that is not something I would consent to, and I would be very angry with a partner who did it. However, plenty of other people might be into that, and so a discussion would probably do wonders in that department.
