Silver, are you pulling for strings? Yes, I hate crying babies in a movie theater and on a plane. Sadly, these are things not in someone's control. No one can predict they will have gas or a colicky kid that day. Yet, a plane can stop and let a parent off if a kid is being a huge disruption. If their child is YELLING at the top of its lungs and cannot be calmed, the air line is within its full right to land and instruct the parent to catch another flight at a later time. Airlines are allowed to make judgment calls when other passengers are affected. The same with the guy with gas. If someone is SICK visibly and is shitting himself / vomiting, an airline can detour to get him or her to an airport clinic. So what's your point here?
My point is that none of the above referenced actually happen...flights don't stop or turn around because of crying babies or even passengers shitting themselves. And you quite clearly don't fly all that often if you believe otherwise.

Porn is enjoyed quietly on someone else's laptop, which is situated directly in front of that passenger, and, in order to see it you would have to be doing some serious rubbernecking either from off to the side or behind his seat. You're acting like you're being forced at gunpoint to watch it. You're not. You're being a drama queen. Compared to all the other annoyances going on in flight, porn is really negligible.

Re: I can understand this one...

bull... we're all packed in planes like sardines and the last thing i need is for some guy to be sitting next to me getting all hot and horny watching porn while we're rubbing shoulders. his sex life is his own business, even if his sex life consists of his hand and his computer screen.. i want absolutely no part of it. if he wants to have an intimate moment with himself, fine.. but he should not include me. i should not be subjected to it.

i understand he wouldn't actually be rubbing one out, but he's certainly turned on by the content and i really don't want to be part of that.. that's just f*ckin gross. there are lots of men that are simply turned on by subjecting women to these kinds of things unwillingly such as flashers... it's not cool to make me a part of some twisted fantasy against my will. it's perverted.
