Topic : 03/06 Etiquette Dilemmas

Why do women today dress so slutty? Why do  you have to reveal everything? What happened to modesty? come on--people wear mini skirts and show cleavage at church...why must you do that at church?

Women/girls wear these mini-skirts and show tons of cleavage and then they get mad when men treat them like objects and whistle and say obscene things. DUH. If you show everything men are going to look. and a lot of the girls like the attention.

what happened to being noticed for your other qualities like being smart...no they think the way to be noticed is to show their body and leave nothing to the imagination.

and on the subject of cell phones---I think they are so annoying. Im sitting somewhere with limited parking and I'm waiting forever because this woman is talking on the cell phone while attempting to back out of a space in a big suv--cant you tell the person on the phone to hold on for a second. My mom works as a cashier andshe said she gets people who come in to check out and they don't even pay attention to the cashier because they just talk on the phone the whole time. how rude.

And you won't believe how many times a cell phone rings in church....gracious...Can you turn it off for an hour?

hehe,love the sense of humor :)

I think for me, she would have to get on naked before I'd notice, I get a bad case of tunnel vision when I travel, makes life a whole lot easier for me, what my seatmate is wearing is really of little importance, now if they have BO or bad gas, THAT would make me sit up and take notice.

Child behaviour is one of my soap boxes. My oldest daughter was two years old the first time I had her on an airplane. She alternated sitting  in her seat and sitting in my lap. Otherwise she behaved like an adult. We talked but she was not loud or disruptive to others on the plane. When she had to go the the bathroom she quietly told me and held my hand as we quitely  walked to the bathroom and back.  No child can be expected to be an adult but at that age children have the capacity to be able to learn right from wrong to a greater extent than most parents realize. Maybe they don't want to realize this because it puts the responsibility on them for their childs' behaviour. Both of my children were taught to have manners in public at a very young age. At one time my two daughters, who were teenagers at the time, and I were in public having our senses assaulted by a screaming, crying, kicking brat. The mother was doing nothing with this kid to let him know that you shouldn't  behave that way in public or anywhere else. I looked at my daughters in astonishment and said "You two never acted that way." My oldest daughter said they knew they wouldn't like what  happened if they did act that way. You don't have to beat or abuse a child in any way to teach them. But it does take work and thought and I feel most parents don't want to be bothered. They would rather cruise and let the kid do whatever he or she wants and somehow that parent has the abiblity to ignore the brat. I can't ignore it. I doubt I would have been able to ignore the brat on the airplane. I did not force my bratty kids on others and I do not appreciate it when someone forces his or her bratty kid on me. That mother and child should have been removed from the airplane. I remember hearing about that incident on the news. My daughter that has a little boy heard about that, too. We three flew from Dallas to St. Louis. My daughter was scared to death fearing she and her baby would get thrown off of that airplane. The baby was 22 months old at the time and he can be a handful. But I wasn't worried. I knew she disciplined her child. He was a little testy and fidgity but he was not noisy and unruly and disruptive. He did fiine. That is my proof that very young children can behave on airplanes without disturbing others. I recall a trip I took on an airplane sitting across from two little girls. One was under a year old and I think the other was three. Ay first I thought "Oh, no." But those children behaved. They weren't perfect little adults but they did not create a problem. I commended the parents for obviously disciplining and training their kids. More proof that children can behave on airplanes. Again, don't force your bratty kids off on me.

I believe the outfit was not as it was worn on the plane.  I am sure she was baring a lot more than what we saw on the Today show. This incident happened in August and she is just now coming out with it?  She wanted an apology but now may sue?  C'mon now, this is getting ridiculous.  She's on every talk show now talking about her horrible incident.

The outfit was too short, period.  That outfit is made more for a club or the beach, not for running errands or doing other things.  There is a time and place to dress that way and other ways.  Why can't people realize that?  The airline has every right to do what they want to do...it's a private company and just like a restaurant or any other business entity, they have the right to refuse service etc.  Thing is she still flew with them.  She also returned with them.  So how is she "scarred for life"?  That's so stupid!

Bottom line, the girl is an attention whore by every fit of the definition.  For a lawyer to actually take this case is too pathetic.  If it does go to court, I hope the judge laughs it right out of court.  What a waste of time and money to purse this.

What drives me through the wall is someone who chews their ice!!!  I almost have to leave the room.  Anybody else have this problem?
