I'm sure she's the kind of parent who, when people object to her children's behavior, says, "If you can't tolerate all kinds of people, fly public!" Airlines do edit films, and this one was rated PG-13. If she thinks it's inappropriate for her children, fly another airline or charter a private jet. I couldn't care less what she thinks is or is not appropriate for her children.
I am very curious just how much of a ruckus she caused over this -- perhaps there was only one moron after all.
Hopefully they did not DO THIS.
- Yes, I believe we should not expose children to inappropriate content
- Fact - You cant stop it unless you're Aamish or a Congo Tribe - Their friends in school and all over the place and INTERNET ACCESS and Torrent Downloads..
- Fact - I had a very moral conservative kind of family but I remember bunch of boys got hold of VHS tapes of some X rated movie and
- Would I try to create an environment for them to prevent from watching it too early? - YES.
- Could I actually CONTROL their access to such material in LIFE - NO
- I doubt it -
This is Moral debate that can go on forever and I can speak for both sides.
PS: You may be okay with your kids watching a scene where a boy and a girl kiss, another maybe Asian family may not like it. The MORAL lines change from person to person/ culture to culture.
The best one can do - carry devices / comics for kids etc, pray to the lord, horse blinders or those sleep/ nap masks and some kiddie NyQuil.
This might be the only practical way to OPT-OUT.
Question to ask is
- Did they do something to justify the Pilot doing that?
- If not, then he needs a little wake up call - Completely Disproportionate move...
