In-flight Cell Ban Advances In Congress
narramissic writes "The awkwardly named Halting Airplane Noise to Give Us Peace (HANG UP) Act was approved by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on a voice vote Thursday. The bill would make permanent the long-standing ban on in-flight cell phone calls by the FAA and FCC. 'Polls show the public overwhelmingly doesn't want to be subjected to people talking on their cell phones on increasingly over-packed airplanes. However, with Internet access just around the corner on U.S. flights, it won't be long before the ban on voice communications on in-flight planes is lifted,' said Representative Peter DeFazio, a Democrat from Oregon who co-sponsored the HANG UP Act in a statement. 'Cash-strapped airlines could end up charging some passengers to use their phones while charging others to sit in a phone-free section of the plane,' he said."
Said like someone who has procreated and doesn't control their kids.
Regular beatings.
Sound triggered shock collars.
Wanna bet on how many shocks before they're quiet as mice?
On a less brutal note try some regular fucking discipline.
My sister somehow manages to raise 2 extremely well mannered children without ever raising a hand to them. I was surprised how much power "the naughty step" had over a pair of 3 year olds. In short she doesn't give in and let them be little brats like some parents do. If they're being a problem she doesn't stare vacantly into space and pretend that nothing's happening like many many shitty parents out there.
Yes I don't plan to ever procreate.
Since banning smoking on planes the air quality has actually got worse because they don't have to constantly expel smoke and get fresh air into the system, they just recycle the cabin air ...
It's thought that this may be contributing to DVT ...
