Just more nonsense.

Unfortunately because this is a private airline, First Amendment doesn't apply.

that was ruined by one family. Two parents and four children under 5. The parents did not feed them, change diapers, comfort them, or even speak to them for two hours in the terminal and two more hours in the airplane while waiting for our delayed flight to take off. The entire family should have been deplaned and child protective services should have been called.

Forget the dress code - pay attention to the children and stupid parents who cause 300 passengers to be miserable.

We've had that happen on international flights.

Though on our last flight back to the States there was an infant whose dad was very conscious of its discomfort and spent a lot of time carrying, comforting and walking it around.

Juries can vote to hide post, but not remove them.
Hosts can lock posts, but not remove them.
MIRT can only remove obvious incidences of spam in a thread.
No one can remove non-spam threads on DU3 except the person who posted them.

I would guess that there were kids and grandma's on that flight too. If I had young kids, I don't think I would like to see that word on a t-shirt. I'm not a prude, I use the word on occasion, but there are times that I think it is inappropriate.
