This seems exceptionally stupid when coupled with the article from just a few hours ago about Christian preachers spouting off on planes but the flight attendants "can't do anything about it".
Gotta love it.
Religion is cool if its white people Christianity.
Religion is a pyramid scheme tupperware style con game.
I wish I was on one of those planes. I'm not about to be your captive audience.
What would you have done (that wouldn't have gotten you in trouble)?
Right where a religious person would respond with, “hallelujah,” yell, “HAIL SATAN!”
Also, recite Matthew 5:6.
"Allahu Akbar" translates to "God is Greatest"
Often used as a mantra to remind you that no matter what happens on earth, God and their plan is beyond all human comprehension, so trust it.
(Or so my whiteass secondary school level religious education understanding goes)
They can’t arrest you for having an extremely loud panic attack.
They could probably find a reason to get you to stop booing, but what if you cheered and yelled, "FUCK YEAH! JESUS SHIT!" every time the preacher started to talk.
I like your idea!
Lol, I've watched a flight attendant force a kid to piss their pants because the seatbelt sign was on. Fuck all the off that they can't tell someone to sit down and shut the fuck up.
A flight attendant's primary job is safety of the crew and passengers.
Passenger comfort is secondary.
If for some reason they felt it was better to let them pee in their chair (like on approach to land, the most dangerous part of flying), then they probably had a reason, sadly.
The point they were making was that flight attendants will make people sit. So acting like they can’t is a lie we are being told by the airline, for some reason.
Let's not pretend flight attendants are well equipped, trained, or competent enough to implement policy that addresses the nuances of free speech. They should not be allowed to censor people based on their tshirts. They arent hired or compensated with that in mind.
I didn't address anything you said in my comment. Not sure why you replied to me. My comment was entirely addressed to the parent comment.
To be clear I agree with you. But I never mentioned any of that. Maybe you should have replied to the original poster?
Some of them wouldn't cut it as waitresses on land, and the rest are fucking angels and we ought to clone them. Very hit or miss profession.
The reason is that landings can be bumpy, and a kid falling head-first into a metal corner inside the toilet box is worse than them pissing their pants and the seat they are safely belted into.
The flight attendant knew what they were doing.
