I'm an attractive twenty something and I know they did not get kicked off of Southwest because of their looks. I have flown Southwest MANY times in my life and never have been kicked off because of my looks, or for any other reason. A group of my friends and I have flown for Spring-break, so we were ready to party, but contained our excitement until we were AT the PaRtY. Then again we look hot with our clothes fitting proper and not revealing anything our parent's would not want seen. Some girls NEED the short skirt and shirts to get attention because they have nothing else to offer. I pity them. How sad is that?! Its an esteem issue. :(
I've seen some parents freaking out over cussing on here and else where. Seriously?! I'm more concerned with parents out their using REAL cuss words in front of their children and mine. Saying things like "O my G o d," or using Jesus' name in vain. I would put huge money down those same parents would TRIP if I dropped an F bomb. To me saying my lords name, or any other's god's name, in vain is way worse then any slang. I'm a mother of 7 year old twins and when I have them out in public they will occasionally hear someone swear and they are not damaged from it. In fact my kids are a bit of the moral police and tell the person that they just used a potty word. I cuss like a sailor when my children aren't around, as do my friends. We are all educated but if we're playing cards or drinking we like to vent. Our children aren't around, our words aren't' hurting each other or anyone else. I don't go out in public and cuss, but I don't care if other's do. They have freedom of speech and who am I, or anyone else, to censor their words? A private business owner, such as Southwest, CAN. A school CAN. As for people walking down the street, no one has a say. That would be a very scary road to go down. Did everyone, against cussing, have a collective brain fart and forget WHY people wanted, and still want, to come to this country? Have people forgot how fantastic it is that anyone may walk out into the street and say whatever they want to with out fear of the government? I don't judge people by their speech, I just don't, it about the content of their speech not the words they use.
Then you have the girls dressing like street walkers, my daughter has, to women's faces, asked why they dress like a hoochie? When they look at me in horror I just shrug. I should tell her to stop it but it embarrasses me MUCH LESS then when she informs a woman that she has a mustache or is obese. At least the women dressing like a "hoochie" (my daughter's word for them) are ASKING for the attention. Maybe they only desire attraction- attention, they need to know how to take the negative. I bet the girls my daughter has confronted think back that a little girls in pigtails recognizes they dress poorly.
What parents are failing to do right now is, MAKE LEMONADE! For free, women and men right now are doing some of the most bone-head things for the world to see. Gossip, we can teach our children how gossip hurts people! With this instance, these girls are using gossip to try to tarnish the reputation of Southwest's employees. Vanity, um, Britney shaved her head and that was the best lesson for my daughter. She saw it on the Today Show, which use to be safe for my kids to watch, and all she could say, "Mommy, that is a very sad girl, we should send her a card." These girls have obviously never been sat down and taught anything about this. Promiscuity, with how the girls on this show dress like, and Jamie Lynn Sprears and Vanessa Hudgens. I only kept one of those things secret from my kids, and that's because I like watch HSM with them. Sure I wanted to save most of these conversations for when they were 10ish, but due to our society they've had to learn life lessons early. Instead of fighting what is on TV (I do block my children's TV), radio, school, and everywhere, I use it to teach my children's morals. If I teach my children daily that God gave us free will and Jesus tells us how to apply his teachings, so why not use today's stories like I do with the Bible. When Britney acts out, its a easier lesson for them to understand compared to Sodom and Gomorrah. In my heart, we are all Children of some God(s), and we should love and support one another. Not judge. I can only pray that this approach will help mold them into WISE teens and adults.
o, and yes I'd much rather my children cuss as teens and young adults if that was the worse they did!
How would you feel if an airline banned you for how you looked? According to two young women, they’ve been banned for life from flying Southwest Airlines. Sarah and Nisreen made national news when they were escorted off a plane because they say the airline had a problem with them because they were “young and decent-looking” and their flight attendants were “middle-aged.” Southwest denies treating the women unfairly because of their appearance and says the women used vulgar language, obscene gestures and aggressive behavior. Joining the conversation is Kyla, who says she was told by Southwest that her outfit was too skimpy, and two other passengers who say the airline booted them because they were women. Then, McKay is a 15-year-old on a mission to end cussing. He founded a No Cussing Club at his high school and wants to inspire others to stop swearing and examine the power of words. McKay’s campaign has even motivated his mayor to pass a proclamation for a No Cussing Week in his hometown. Don’t miss reactions from the teen’s family and classmates! If it’s happening now, Dr. Phil is going to deal with it now! Join the discussion.
