[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because as a culture we no longer care about kids. It's really sad. Kids are the future. People who do value kids will conquer us and live in our lands.[/quote]

Unpopular opinion, but I totally disagree with this. I feel like kids are significantly more on the forefront and catered to than when most of us grew up. People take their kids places and events our parents never would have thought of taking us. [/quote]

It's a bit of both, depending on your perspective.  Parents expect their kids to be welcome and accommodated in ways that weren't true when I was a kid, but we do a terrible job of actually ensuring that all kids have the basics: safe housing, adequate nutrition, quality childcare and education, medical and dental care, etc.  Like, people expect to be able to bring their kids to fancy restaurants, but the child poverty rate is horrific.  We care a lot about *our* kids, but very little about other people's kids.  But rest stops at playgrounds are kind of irrelevant to that issue.  [/quote]
