selfish

a mother was kicked off a continental airlines flight because her kid kept talking
i originally read this story on aol, and it in itself is bad enough. i have a netscape email account have to go through aol to get to my email. sometimes i read a few of the articles of the homepage while i'm there. sometimes, i make the mistake of reading people's comments about the articles. i avoid message boards because people do not know respect. but anyway....
the fact is, a flight attendant should not have the right to have a plane turn around to kick people off the plane that are not threat. these are paying customers. from the article, the woman's child wasn't even crying or screaming, but kept saying bye bye plane over and over. he was 19 months old.
but really, as annoying and wrong as i found this, it was the people's response on the message board. many people were basically saying how they were glad the flight attendant did that and that if a person can't make their child a zombie, they have no right to fly on the plane. i admit, a screaming kid is really difficult to deal with, or as in this case, a chatty kid. but these people truly thought people with kids should stay home. how dare someone inconvenience their all important and selfish lives. i wonder how they were as children. a person that is that selfish as an adult must have been a little shit as a kid. i bet no one told them to shut up. (or not enough)
i have no issue with people choosing not to have kids. we have too many people in the world as it stands. it can be expensive. but it's the mindset that some of these people have. it's like a former co-worker said once, though this was in reference to having a girlfriend, "i don't want one. i like to spend money on myself too much." it's the selfish, consumerists people that seem to live in bubbles, detached from the fact that they are part of a big world, with people that are not all like them. these types genuinely believe that the world should bow to them.
oh fucking bah. the point is that it really bothered me how many people were so rude about the whole issue. i don't know why, i've read a few of the message boards on aol before. these people are like kids on freaking playground. but the selfishness that most of our society has is disturbing. i live for myself. i will fight and die for myself. and i am the fucking sun, so rotate around me mother fuckers.
you know what i say? get over yourselves. you are as trivial as the rest of us on this giant organism called earth. just part of a big ole jelly fish. none of us really matter, including you.
and that's all.
