Flight diverted after family raises concerns over PG-13 inflight movie
A family's criticism of inflight entertainment allegedly prompted a United flight to be diverted over "security concerns." I would be curious to hear the Captain's version. Comments? (www.foxnews.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I have come across this problem with my kids before. I did not let them have access to the head phones and we had children's books to keep them busy. No reason to bother flight attendents during a flight for no reason. Its called parenting, not alwayse in life is everything going on in life around me, what I want my kids to experience. To me it sounds lime the parents expected the flght crew to be the baby sitter and provide that,so they could do their own thing.
I agree with the idea that lots of folks have posted that we're in charge of parenting our own children - 100%. We personally do bring all sorts of things to entertain them and keep them engaged during the flights. But I just can't help but think there's every possibility the child may just look up at the wrong time (even without headphones) and see a bloody violent scene that seem to be so popular today in progress on the screen. I know my grandson is sensitive to even small degrees of violence on TV or in a movie and has nightmares for a few nights. I seriously do believe it's the airline's place to select inflight films more responsibly. It appears a lot of us are just going to have to agree to disagree.
You and I agree more than not and you make you're point well.
Well Said. Life is full of REALITY.lol
Much ado about nothing. Children should only be allowed on special flights anyway.PG flights where normal childless adults would never be seen. Perhaps sedating children on flights if they must be on board is the solution. I mean why should the rest of us suffer because some people want to make global warming worse by reproducing. Eh?
You aren't seriously suggesting drugging your children are you? Is a different movie really "suffering"?
I don't have children. No I'm suggesting drugging everyone else's children ;-)
Since you didn't understand, that was the generic "your" - however must say I'm totally happy to learn you don't have children. Please don't ever have any.
Well said Donna. My feeling is about the same
You really are bereft of a sense of humour aren't you!
You really are bereft of being more clear with your posts. My sense of humor is soundly intact. Had you made it clear in some manner, any manner at all, that you were kidding around would have been helpful. Relax Adrian - no need to be rude.
I assure you it's not (and I discovered the biggest comedian in Britain ever so I'm pulling rank on that one). In any case people already DO sedate their kids on planes, here in the UK and in the US so you wanna talk to them. But you've already prejudged their actions so I assume you are religious (i.e. not a rational individual)
Assuming is for fools. That's the last of my comments to you - you're a waste of my time.
I personally don't think that religion comes to irrationality anymore than not being PC should force me to have to change my opinion just becuse it disagres with some else's.IMHO
