And actually with selfishness it's the same as with freedoms, people's competing selfishness will often affect or harm other people's selfishness. That's when the courts come in and usually the decision is in favour of the selfish interest that favours the greater good, though not always.

Well, you have to consider the individual facts of the case against the general principle. The general principle is that children benefit society and as future taxpayers are valuable. It can be taken for granted that most parents do not want their own children to disturb a movie in a cinema, they do not start the children off to behave that way intentionally. Thirdly, they have no 100% control over a 4 year old child, so can not be expected to control the child fully. However, it is a matter of degrees, obviously if the child makes such a loud and prolongued spectacle that enjoyment of the movie is impossible for everyone and the film would effectively be ruined for all parties, then yes, the parents would be selfish if they do not take the child outside. Most parents would do that in such circumstances. However, some leeway is to be granted. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most frustrating ones are the people who defend the above and say it is their right to do what they want to do.....the very definition of selfishness. The other day I saw a foreigner smoking inside a Thai eatery and sitting there for more than 1 hour almost everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One with children (or dogs) who do not behave, and let them run around and terrorize the neighborhood, a movie theatre, a restaurant, or anyone around them. And when you say something to them, they reply with something inane like "they are four year old children. How am I supposed to control them, or keep them quiet?" My response? So, who is the parent, and who is the child, in this equation? Gets them every time. Food for thought for lousy parents with rowdy kids. Yes woeful parents. Should need a licence to parent like you do car. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to go to a movie hire babysitter….can’t afford a sitter…you can’t afford to go out! Your children are your responsibility…not the responsibility of those around you and it’s “not easy”! ps: I have four sons…they weren’t perfect but they were good kids and we were always there to make sure they didn’t spoil someone else’s dinner ???? They're all four good men now and there for their kids too…. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're at home with the babysitter they can't watch the movie, can they? I'm well aware whose responsibility children are and I never said they are the "responsibility" of the public. However when children make noise generally the public has to suck it up. Children are the greater good, and parents take it upon themselves to produce the future doctors and taxpayers so single people can go to hospital and drive on the roads. That's why the law allows children to make noise. Try and sue about it. You will lose. Every time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
