Please Help DU This Poll........
Edited on Thu Oct-06-05 04:00 PM by OhioChick
Was the airline justified in removing this woman from the flight?
Yes, her shirt offended people.
No, it was her right to wear that shirt.

It's at 50/50 right now.........

Thanks.

Right hand side of page, toward the top of page.

on edit: Has to do with the woman removed from the flight for wearing an anti-bush shirt.

2. You should post a little background so people know.
It's not immediately apparent on the web site.

Voted No.

6. Still 50/50. Protect free speech and vote NO! Here's what happened
Edited on Thu Oct-06-05 04:04 PM by Angry Girl
Oregon woman kicked off flight in Reno over offensive shirt

*snip* The shirt had pictures of members of the Bush Administration, and a phrase based on the movie "Meet the Fockers," but with one crucial vowel changed. *snip*

7. Done and done!
Voted 'no."

:D

:thumbsup:


It's still at 50% but at least I tried.

For crying out loud, a shirt?

Southwest neglects the fact that although the woman was making fun of them, she had still paid for a ticket, so they still profited from her just as much as anyone else.

I have seen violent drunk people not get booted off the plane.

That's what we need to worry about these days. Wise-ass shirts.

Way to keep the homeland secure!


:crazy:

9. If Her shirt offended the righties on flight..
Edited on Thu Oct-06-05 05:15 PM by GOPS Worst Fear
..can we get the righties kicked off flight for some of their offensive t-shirts towards the left?

....How many people a day would be kicked off if this thing continues?Air plane tickets are outragious.What a person wears should not have a damn thing to do with it.

10. The shirt said "Meet the Fuckers"
you might want to give people the whole story...it wasn't just an anti-bush shirt. It had profanity on it.

13. You didn't but..
You didn't but apparently the right thinks it was excusable when it happened but let a woman on board the plane that says the same thing?

15. Do you have any young children?
Do you think that possibly some parents on that flight might not have wanted their kids to see that word on someone's shirt?

16. Where does that person's freedom of expression end ...
..and the right to censor begin? It's just a t-shirt of chirst's sakes.If the kids asks questions tell the kid to ignore it and look the other way!

18. Ah...you don't have kids, do you?
And with your statement, you are saying what Cheney said to Leahy was OK. Make up your mind.

20. As a former Delta employee
I've never heard of such a thing. And I've seen all kinds of vulgar T-shirts.
