BABY kicked off Plane--YAY!

PLANE BABIES BOO

I found the above article highly distressing.

I am all for babies and their caregivers having their own section on planes and being asked to deplane for causing a ruckus. After all, who hasn't been stuck near a howling baby on a long flight and hated every moment of it--who can sleep through THAT. EEK! Unless it's YOUR CRYING BABY (even then I think you only put up with it because you can't abandon it without a nanny/grandparent/other parent taking it on for the journey) it is beyond me who would want to be sitting next to IT vs. an ADULT--who would never cry at an ear-splitting volume. If so, they would and SHOULD be asked to leave as well.

YIKES!

Whoever the simpering authoress was who wrote that story stating her *preference* was for a toddler next to her on a flight, well, she deserves whatever she gets.

"A world without children and their sounds is not a world I want to live in" --cripes, what a colossal ninny. Ugh.

The advantage of sitting next to an adult on a plane, is clear: when they act up you can lean right in close to them and whisper something like: "look, asshole, shut the fuqk up right now or I will slit your idiotic throat from ear to ear!"

You can put the fear of God into them. And if worse comes to worse, you can actually DO things to them! Before anyone can pull you off!

Not so with kids. To hell with that torture, I vote that yes they should get kicked off the plane!

However, in that one story, clearly the stewardess was the BITCH and needed to be slapped to the ground.

Just a nice daydream. Sigh--yearning to live in some other country where things like this can still happen and no one gets hit with a lawsuit!
