Um, can I ask how old you are?

I'm guessing not very old. I would also suggest not very wise.

If we are going to live in a civilized society, we must all do things to avoid offending others. Like I don't suggest you hang a noose on a tree limb in your front yard (by your logic, it would be your property and you can do what you want). Nor do I suggest you show up for work with a t-shirt saying "The President is a prick." Do you need more examples?

To suggest that it's a good idea to screen an R-rated rape movie (which is what Delta is doing this month with "Georgia Rule") in an environment where children are certain to be present is simply idiotic. Would you also like to have the freedom to show up at a baseball game naked? Again, by your logic, preventing you from doing so would be unfair "parental entitlement."

This really isn't anything more than common sense. Something in shorter supply than it should be around here.
