this might be a good time for those of you who think sitting on a restaurant table is fine to post your favorite restaurants. We’ll give you dibbs.
No, you just said that even if it’s a small minority, that should be enough. Why should the quriky preferences of a small minority dictate my behavior?
All of them.
You rang? No, wait, I have to scrap with Cat Fight! Cat Fight, where are you?
I think we may have a disagreement of what a “small minority” represents.
But if there is indeed a small minority who objects, since neither of us can confirm what the exact minority is , doesn’t it make sense for the sake of courtesy and respect, to keep your baby’s butts off the restaurant tables?
Once again, consider the responses in this thread and tell us what you venture to be a “small minority”? What percentage of people need to be offended or not, in your book, to make this an okay practice?
Hey, would you mind taking your on-topic to another thread? We’re trying to have a hijack here.
I was referring to the cat fight those two girls were having. You know, quixotic78 and MeanOldLady.
Apparently your baby brain prevents you from noticing all the other people just in this thread who think you are incredibly rude for putting your kid’s ass on tables.
Since I didn’t voice an opinion…
None of that addresses how often one gets sick from staph. No points to you for obvious attempt to misdirect.
I know - I was making a joke based on my username - see, it has a “cat” in it.
Hey, Cat Whisperer, how about you getting a catroom, I mean chatroom?
I know - I was just taking an opportunity to refer to quix as a girl again.
Curlcoat, your attention for a moment.
First you said:
I disagree. The following looked very much like an opinion, namely skepticism.
Second, as for this comment:
I don’t have to ask whether you bothered to click on the CDC link. I already know you didn’t, or you would have seen question #5, “How common are staph and MRSA infections?”
Third, I notice you completely failed to acknowledge that two of us here know people who died from staph. I don’t expect you to care, as we are both strangers to you. But to pretend it doesn’t happen is dishonest.
My mother is offended by people who hold their water glass too long after they’ve taken a sip (seriously). I bet I could find a few other people who feel that way. It is hereby a rule that everyone dining in restaurants must put their water glass down after they’ve held it for no longer than 2 seconds. You wouldn’t want to disrespect my mother, would you?
Wow, what a great argument. You are hereby captain of the internet debate team.
Woohoooooo!!!
I know people who don’t like others wearing shorts when out and about in public. Therefore, no short pants in public places. We cannot offend the sensibilities of even a small minority.
It’s always easy to dismiss the sensibilities of others. Chances are everybody has some thing they don’t like seeing, whether it’s baby ass on eating surface or some guys scrotum packed into bike shorts. Not liking something doesn’t necessarily mean you want it to be illegal and the perpetrators executed, it just means you have, you know, sensibilities.
Frankly, nobody gets their panties knotted up faster than people who are offended by other people being offended.
You only say that because you haven’t seen the people who are offended by the people who are offended by other people being offended.
Wow, you sure are sensitive to getting mistaken for a girl… 
All breeders care about is themselves and, to some extent, their kids. As soon as the baby shows up, they are the center of the universe AND they rewrite all the rules. Note the idea that only a “small minority” would be offended by an ass on the table.
Skepticism is not an opinion.
No, I didn’t bother to click on it since it isn’t my responsibility to wander about on the internet to prove your argument. If you want to present figures, type them out and include the cite, but don’t expect me to make assumptions from just a link.
Uh, trying to pretend I did something like that is dishonest. I am well aware that people with compromised immune systems and I suppose the very young and very old can die of staph infections. That, however, doesn’t make it common. Nor do two stories posted here, whether they are true or not.
Unless things have radically changed, everyone has staph germs on them, but few of us show any symptoms, much less become ill.

Why are you referring to people who have had kids as breeders? Am I being whooshed here?
You’re ruining “our” side of the argument by coming off like a crackpot. There are a lot of “breeders” who don’t impolitely sit their kids on the restaurant tables. What in heaven’s name are you doing?
