JORTS.

Considering Albuquerque is having a city vote on abortion rights, this doesn't seem all that surprising. The nuts are winning and I don't understand how. HOW DOES EVERY WOMAN ALIVE NOT SEE THIS AS AN INTRUSION INTO HER PERSONAL CHOICE?????

Yes, shoving your arm onto an armrest is totally the same as "intentionally shoving folk". Ugh, you're ridiculous.

Ah, yes, because I of course meant that you should get into a punch-up on a plane over an armrest. The POINT was to be a little assertive if you want something because most people aren't going to hand it over (a principle that applies in just about every area of life. Being assertive does not make one "angry".) But if…

So you automatically get BOTH armrests just because you're too fucking stupid to choose your seat first? That doesn't make sense. If you want the armrest, fight for it or shut the fuck up.

You're equating being gay with being a pedophile — WTF is up with that? I can't imagine our standards are going to change and start accepting having sex with children because under no circumstances is that OK. Like, if you look at history, at least you can say things like, "Well, the Romans were ok with gays" and…

You want a legit answer? It was 7 weeks ago when I flew home to my husbands funeral. It wasn't that big of a deal then, either.

Gee, it must've been about 30 years ago, right after I fell off the turnip truck! It isn't that big of a deal if someone in front of you reclines their seat. Recline yours or read your book and suck it up. NO ONE EXPECTS MUCH ROOM ON A FUCKING AIRPLANE.

Um, huge difference between a gay person and a pedophile. HUGE.

Um, I'm the one who understands that people have to touch them when we fly. Why do you think that I should be the one to take a train?

You said, "I can't always avoid flying, like most people, I imagine..." that indicates that YOU can't avoid flying but most other people can. Perhaps the commas are a bit off there, then?

Oh, EVERONE ELSE can avoid flying but your precious snowflake self can't? You're being ridiculous. When you're in a tight space with other humans, you're going to get touched. If you can't deal with that, that is YOUR problem.

Yo, I'm not the one with the problem here.

All of them. I'm not a small person. I request the aisle seat. The person in the middle seat is always rubbing on me. Without fail people walk down the aisle and rub on me, touch my seat, use my seat to balance themselves and rub on me. People get stuff from the overhead bins and rub on me. I do not like people…

I get it. I'm not small. I take up the entire seat and try to squish myself down as much as possible. If I were offered a more comfortable option, I would take it in a HEARTBEAT. Its win-win for everyone. Sometimes you have to get over it.

Ah, yes, because the attendant made the announcement over the loudspeaker. "Hey everyone, look at this fattie! Let's move her to another seat so we can save someone some inconvenience!"

Enabling pedophiles is a black-or-white issue. I happen to think that it is gross and shouldn't be encouraged. You happen to do. I find that disgusting.

Yep. You're all crammed into a metal tube and NO ONE SHOULD TOUCH YOU. Get the fuck over yourself. It happens. That is what happens when lots of humans are crammed into a small space.

But you're putting your issues on everyone else. Just because you're claustrophobic and hate flying doesn't mean everyone should stay five feet away from you at all times. Strangers touching you? Like, that is a serious YOU issue, not an anyone else issue. If you get on a plane, it is a fact that strangers are going…

Because airlines already go broke all the time and cutting down on the number of seats and passengers wouldn't make a single lick of financial sense? Unless you're advocating the doubling of fares, which also doesn't make a single lick of sense.
