Valium, one for you, two for each of them! Or, you could have them put on
Ritalin, before it's too late.

In all seriousness, Valium. Its quite safe, but half a tablet might do
it. Two each, and you'll probably be carrying them off sound asleep.
A combination of earplugs, alcohol and tranquilisers is the only way
I can sleep on a plane.
How long is the flight? Temazepam might be better.

Or Heroin.

Heroin is a narcotic, related to the codeine at your local chemist.
Very different to tranq's. You might use codeine on the kids if
nothing else is available, and you are desperate.
What sort of half-arsed point are you attempting to make?

I'm just making the point that I consider it unacceptable to drug kids in
any way. Far better to make sure they get plenty of exercise and make sure
thay are not well rested. Chances are they will spend most of the flight
asleep.

Better to handcuff and gag them.

I like that one!

Anyone that would drug children during a flight should never have had
them in the first place. I have flown around the world with my 3
girls when they were 2-11 years of age, and had so few problems that I
can only think of diaper changes as the biggest pain in the butt.

giving kids drugs on flights = child abuse

and the person that does it should be locked up and sterilized.

only an idiot dopes an infant without medical advice -- babies don't
respond the same way as adults and it can be dangerous

my Dr. FIL tried a sedative on my husband for a trip when he was a
toddler -- this guy was a doctor and still didn't realize how
differently babies cna respond -- what he got was a drunk out of control
overstimulated baby -- kids don't respond the same as adults to adult
medications

Not needed. Big difference between quoting a movie line and real
life.


If you use the quote I believe it probably reflects your philosophy.

Another unsupported opinion. WHY??? for christ sake?
Just "Drugs are baaaddd"? (South Park reference)
Would you leave a child in pain, rather than giving paracetemol? (USA
acetaminophen).

Lucky you. Have you no pity for the less fortunate?

Yeah yeah. meat = murder, property = theft. Nice slogan.

and the person that does it should be locked up and sterilized.

Should be? By whom? Would you really make that judgement?
How should we punish parent who give their kids junk food?
McDonalds is much more dangerous IMHO.
