That list is actually from the Internet over 10 years ago.
I thought it could use another airing.

6. Bringing your children on political demos and protestsBad parent. Bad, bad parent.
Sugar along with transfats booze and ciggies is incredibly addictive and pointless
Do you have any idea how much fun a demo is? Seriously they're like massive music festivals only they're free and annoy the government.
And your children can witness some nice angry mobs, violent police beatings, and get high from passively smoking weed.

As someone with an interest in the whole Israeli thing, nothing winds me up more then the A-rabs taking their kids on demos where they know that trigger happy Jews are gonna be loosing off a few rounds.
'They shot my little boy!'
That's because you threw him in front of armed soldiers you dumb twonk.

I've gotta be honest Zooo I've been to shit loads of demos.
And the closest I got to hassle was when I popped by the Mayday one in 2009.
When the police had just kettled everyone and a nice copper as
ked me
"that I could go in and join them, but I couldn't come back out again"
so I said no thanks and went home.
Seriously most demos are fun and none violent and there's not much dope smoked neither.
Apart from those UKc**ts. Who are just silly and don't do much damage

Yes, the Socialist Worker rent-a-mobs aren't just about putting nails in police horses, they're also a great way to meet singles in your area. Join today!
The socialist workers generally consist of 50 smelly sociology students who shit themselves if they see a traffic warden.
The anarchists are usually 100 art students in hoodies, called Taquin and Jasmine. Who throw a bit of paint and run away as fast as possible.
The police usually arrest UKc**ts on account of their convenient habit of having a sitin protest. Akin to being a self basting turkey at Christmas.
I still wouldn't take a little kid to one. Wouldn't take one to a big football match either. I don't think potentially rowdy crowds are the right place for young kids.
You could keep in the cellar you Fritzel!
One should choose their protests carefully of course, but to bring a child up to know that they can have a voice and that there is a community of people who will rally for something they believe in, is incredibly valuable, in my opinion (through a loudspeaker, before I get thumped by the old bill)
Older kids, sure. But not like 8 and under, for me.
Education should start young and learning that you can't always trust your leaders is a valuable lesson.
And some protests are nice. Like the ones to protect woodland with squirrels living in it or against closing libraries.
Seriously in all the protests I've ever been to I've never seen any hassles.
You should goto one Zooo.
Well I would go to a save the libraries one.

Shoot the little bastards! They're pests who ruin trees and eat my bulbs, not to mention gobbling any food put out for birds before the birds can get near them. Greys, of course, who're also causing the decline of reds.
Racist.
