When I was her age the first Land Before Time movie came out. I LOVED dinosaurs and couldn't wait to see it. When I did I was incredibly frustrated that all the names were wrong. "No it's not a 'long neck' or a 'three horn' it's a Brontosaurus (it was at the time) and a Triceratops." The worst was 'flyer'. …

I'm sorry, what's illegal about carrying money or gold on a plane? TSA are not police officers and Police Officers wouldn't be allowed to look into a man just because he was carrying around a lot of cash on him without a warrant.

I'm not so sure that's true. Did you see Thor? He was sexualized quite a bit. It is that women are sexualized DIFFERENTLY than men. With somen, you get the Butt. With men, you get the waxed/oiled bare chest. This was the VERY FIRST picture to show up in google's image search for Chris Hemsworth Thor

Of course George R R Martin doesn't pass the 'ling' test. The Stark boys, Bran in particular, are called 'Lordlings' and the Stark girls, Sansa in particular are called "Sweetlings" on more than a few occasions.

@sulayman: But we don't. Exit rows and front rows are in mighty short supply and are often taken by people who don't NEED them but want them for the personal space. I fly between 6 to 8 times a year and have only been able to get an exit row twice over the last 5 years.

@38thsignal: And if you're 6 foot plus? What exactly do you expect me to do about it?

I don't know that some of you really understand. This isn't about personal space... it isn't about feeling crowded. It's about pain and misery.
