Would you be equally upset if this person wanted to watch videos displaying war action which arguably is much more degrading than the most perverted form of porn?
I agree. I am so sick of this mentality that others can dictate what's acceptable behaviour in this world (no offense J. Edwards this more to folks from my home state in Texas). CO is showing Kinsey on its IFE. The entire movie is about sex and shows couples engaging in three-way sex and guys masturbating. So should I not watch that movie if someone decides to park their kid in the seat next to me or if some Christian decides to find Jesus while seated next to me?
Was there a kid on the plane? NO, then so what. If there was one, then the bad-azz shouldn't be running up and down the plane looking at folks' computer screens. If one was sitting next to the guy then he should do the decent thing and not watch it (which he may very well not done if there was a kid there). I don't think we should be dictating what someone can read or watch on a plane or anywhere else in public. If that's the case, why not simply outlaw the product all together?
People curse on planes and carryon adult conversations on planes, is that really any different than a guy watching porn on his own laptop?
People, if you are going to take your children out in public places then you had better be prepared to explain adult behaviour or else keep them locked up at home (I prefer the latter).
