I don't think the objection is to kids per se, but rather to parents who make no effort. I don't have kids, and I don't like crying on the airplane, but I realize there's not much that can be done. I also don't like the kid behind me kicking my seat throughout the flight. But that's not behavior I should be expected to put up with. The parent should stop such conduct immediately, or at least quickly, rather than letting it go. Obviously this extends to conduct elsewhere -- if a kid tears up a tree, do something about it, don't just say "I guess he's just not a Johnny Appleseed." That's what people are objecting to.

I don't have kids either. But I'm intelligent enough to realize that kids have short attention spans, and that parents can temper such situations by making sure they have on hand plenty of toys, crayons and a cookie in an attempt to keep the brats preoccupied.
