Who would want to sit next to a whinging, snotty nosed kid for 15 hours? This policy works in the mans favour as far as I can tell. Maybe it should be extended to bus and train services too, including commuter services. I think it's a great policy!

As long as we can still sit next to hot females, Im happy

It's bollocks.

When I was 8 I flew to Christchurch from Auckland unattended to spend the holidays with my Aunt.

I sat next to a dude called Keith and he made that trip for me. He told how planes stayed up, taught me how a tin of pineapple and an airsick bag can make all the people in visual range throw up, and made my trip fun.

I WISH organisations would stop sexualising children and generalising about men.

One day Bartman, you'll have a different perspective on children, and you'll understand that they don't all fit your stereotype. I've lodged some feedback on that story, and I've lodged a complaint with the Children's Commisioner about her attitude.

This really makes my blood boil! What proportion of men are paedophiles? 1 in a thousand? And of that 1 in a thousand, how many would interfere with a kid in such a restricted environment????
I'm a father of two, and if I was asked to move seats because I was next to an accompanied child I'd take it very personally!
I take it that women never assault kids????

Did anyone see that program on how NZ is a feminist nation. Im pretty sure this story relates well to it.

**Eurodave** · 30th November 2005, 10:01

Yeah, well, as the father of 5 & grandfather of 3, I placed some feedback to that article, I felt the need to vent!!!

**tracyprier** · 30th November 2005, 10:03

Well I don't know about anyone else here but being a 41 year old white male... FEAR ME FOR I AM EVIL INCARNATE!!!!... apparantly

And just being the owner of a penis makes you a rapist so I'm told.

You speak Indonesian or Malaysian?

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

**ManDownUnder** · 30th November 2005, 10:07

Personal hot topic... thanks for pointing it out.

The bias presented in here is outragious. Would the basis of this policy be that women are better for kids, women nurture while men threaten/discipline.

It's contemptable and I'm taking it up with anyone that'll listen.

Btw, I like flying with Singapore Airlines coz the flight crew always manage to keep me away from paedophile/homosexual imagination

Every airlines should be like that.
