Kids and men on planes.

[tracyprier]

Well try harder !

grrrr hmmmpf arrghhh

I'm so fucken pissed off at this ignorant PC bullshit that words fail me.

[idb]

What pisses me off even more about the whole climate of fear over men & kids is that it so pervasive that even I have to fight off judging other blokes as 'possible paedophile' when in certain situations.
It's a rot in society.

[Marmoot]

I picked the right time to be born as a white male. Never wanted to be a racist paedophile but can't deny what is my intended nature according to society

yeah you whinging racist violent paedophile egotistic and individualist trailer trash. But at least you get to grow to be a savvy businessman and you are well known to drive well.

We yellow bastards are known to drive erratically, extort each other of the same type, and waste our parents money. But we don't get student loan or benefits, though.

Gosh....stereotyping at its best

[SpankMe]

Well try harder !

This can all be blamed on modern so called news reporting that is only interested in showing the bad stuff so giving an unrealistic view of the world.

[James Deuce]

We yellow bastards ....
Gosh....stereotyping at its best

You people aren't yellow, you're a sort of brown colour. I've never understood why we call you yellow bastards. You should be lumped in with all the other brown bastards.

Yes and no - I'd say it's deeper than that. The press certainly report it, but it's all too prevalent in society in general.

Take this scenario (with the journalists nowhere to be seen).

You're at a playground and a little girl comes to you scared - she needs to pee and she's about to wet her pants. The toilets are right there and all you have to do is walk her over and stand by the door.

Do you?
Do you feel the eyes of the world watching you as you you do it?
Why?

What if it was a little boy?
Would you go into the toilet and help him if needed?

It's enough to really piss me off to be honest... and it takes a fair bit to do that

[Grahameeboy]

So much for being our national airline.....what are they on......like most of you I would take offence.....I have shared custody of a disabled daughter so I reckon they may get in the shit if they ever tried this one on me......crazy.....and then they say they would rather leave the seat empty.....
Funny thing is that Air NZ is owned by the Govt and anyway, plus there is the issue of allowing kids to travel alone anyway....they do not talk about protection of kids after they step off the plane....
These are crazy times we live'n geezers.....

[MikeL]

Sort of funny in an ironic way that after years of marginalizing anyone who wasn't white middle-class and male, the white middle class male finds himself on the other end of the stick and complains loudly.

Not that I agree with what the airlines have done. On the other hand I can understand it. Those who are loudest in their ridicule of this latest PC silliness would be the first to hire a lawyer if their own child was molested on a flight...

I disagree entirely. If this crap is not revealed publicly, how will we know to fight it?
I'm just surprised that the guy actually changed seats. I'm damned if I would have.

They could have put the kid on the flight deck. Anyone seen "Flying High"?

[jrandom]

Nah, they are kind of yellow.

I'm looking at the Chinese engineer at the desk next to me right now (hi Jack!) and comparing him to the Indian one who sits across from us, and he definitely has a sort of citrus tinge to his complexion. Not what I'd call brown, per se.

What gets me, though, is calling whiteys 'white'.

[James Deuce]

MDU, the correct course of action is to let them pee their pants and then complain loudly about the lack of parenting skills in evidence. Then you ring CYF.

[The Stranger:Me]

You're at a playground and a little girl comes to you scared - she needs to pee and she's about to wet her pants. The toilets are right there and all you have to do is walk her over and stand by the door.

What exactly were you doing at the playground MDU?

Sitting on a park bench. Eyeing little girls with bad intent.

[Grahameeboy]

Has anyone been marginallising white middle age man cause I ain 't been....

[duckman]

Yes and no - I'd say it's deeper than that. The press certainly report it, but it's all too prevalent in society in general.

Are you kidding, I wouldn't walk past a kids playground for fear of being arrested.
