DAL shows "Brokeback Mountain" inflight!!!

[Dangerkitty]

"You know your republican when your more offended by Broke Back Mountain" then you are by Abu Grab."

What was so offensive about Abu Grab?

When you got on the plane, did a FA use toothpicks to hold your eyes open and ducktape headphones to your ears? It does not matter if the movie was on the big screen or the personal monitors. No one is forced to watch.

Edited 'R' rated movies are often shown on flights. We watch those and do not complain.

Altcrashpad says if the movie was about a man and a woman then there would be nothing to talk about. I am sure if the movie was about two women, there would also be nothing to talk about. So what is wrong with two men? Nothing I can see. Fact of life.

Most women are not worried about gays or lesbians. Most men are not worried about lesbians, in fact they probably love them. Why do men have such difficulty with gays? What are you worried about. Their lifestyle choices are not forced down your throat. No pun intended.

If you are so closed minded and such an idiot as to look down your nose at people that are different, move to an uninhabibted island in the middle of nowhere so the rest of us will not have to deal with your ignorance.

I have better things to deal with than someone elses sexual orientation or a movie being played that I do not have to watch. There are so many more important things in the world.

wow...

"But you fail to see how stupid the average American has become. All it takes is a TV show or movie to say something and the next thing you know, we have the public going along with it. There is simply no denying this. Here's the example I am sure you want now:
Remember the Murphy Brown issue...the single mom stuff, and how Dan Quayle was labelled an idiot for saying that the show would lead to an increase in unwed mothers? Well SUPRISE!! look what we have now...more kids born out of wedlock than there there are to married couples.
Homosexuals getting married, adopting kids, and we straight people have to pay for it with increases in health plans to take upfor all the new diseases being treated. Why can't a homo live a respectable life in chaste? Is it shameful to control yourself? Is it BAD to follow what God wants because sometimes it doesn't feel good? It is medical FACT, proven by years and years of the AMA's and CDC's research that an active homosexual lifestyle is one of the greatest risks a person can take, and that active homosexuals rarely live beyond the age of 45. Look at the AMA's report, its on the web.
It is unhealthy, it violates God's law and NATURAL LAW (which is totally autonomous of God so quit your accusations here) and yet it is being shoved down our faces. You liberals always cry out that people should have freedom to not be offended. But oh man, how you liberals come out crying loud in force against us whenever the conservatives wish to not be offended. The gay movie belongs out of places like airplanes where it can not be avoided.
If "The Passion Of The Christ" was shown on a plane you'd all be fired up in droves.
Again, Murphy Brown being the case in point...So now we have more kids growing up without fathers, crime (despite CNN's "adjustments") on the rise, especially in the 12-17 year old age group, and our moral fabric is GONE. Gay is good, straight is bad? Porn is good and religion is bad? WTFO?"


... that might be the most moronic thing I've ever heard.... and they wonder why we look like idiots to the rest of the world... .. wow... dumbfounded...

 

[macfly]

we should have had had a lot more torture and a lot less barbie dress up with that scum in abu grab. They are dang lucky. Remember, these guys enjoy cutting off civilian heads for kicks.

I was CO of that joint - I'd cut the MFs balls off and THEN put em in a pink dress.

But hey thats just my opinion.

As far as playing the gay movie, muahha - is their any doubt why DAL is BK? Another example of the gross incompetence thier management team seems to relish.

It's not fair to label everyone as liberal because they come out against discrimination of a gay person. Or anyone else for that matter. It's also not fair to label someone as conservative just because they fell for Bush's Orwellian agenda. I can't much blame them considering the brainwashing they recieve every Sunday morning, Sunday night, and Wednesday evening.

Case in point... talk about the redneck agenda.

I remember when gay meant happy.

I say bravo to DAL for offering Brokeback on board. It's a demographic fact that gays spend more of their disposible income than heteros so there's good financial reasons to support the gay community.

Good point.

Besides, what's hotter than seeing two cowboys going at it in a tent in the mountains?

Except maybe seeing two pilots in the quiet room...

Seeing two chicks going at it -- anywhere, anyhow, anytime.

"Is it BAD to follow what God wants because sometimes it doesn't feel good?

I just can’t resist asking: How do you know what “God wants”? Does he speak to you at regular intervals?

It is unhealthy, it violates God's law and NATURAL LAW (which is totally autonomous of God so quit your accusations here) and yet it is being shoved down our faces.

I will agree with you that homosexual activity can sometimes be unhealthy. But, how do you know that it is against “natural law”? Doesn’t “natural law” produce people with that orientation just as it produces people without it? Haven’t homosexuals existed since the beginning of time? How did that happen if not by “natural law”?

Do you believe that homosexuals just go out and randomly decide that they are going to be that way? Given the prejudice that has always existed, why would they do that? What I’m asking you is: do gays just make themselves gay or does nature make them gay?

Again how do you know that homosexuality "violates God’s law”? Did God tell you that or did somebody else just dream it up and tell you? Who created homosexuals? Was it God or was it some other supernatural being? Perhaps "the devil"?

I’ve lived for a long time and no one, homosexual or other wise has ever trued to shove their sexual orientation in my face. When did that happen to you?

I don’t care whether you’re anti-gay, silent on the subject, or pro-gay, that’s up to you. I just don’t believe that you or any of the other crusaders is worried about “God’s law”; I think you’re worried about your own phobias.

Another thing I don’t quite understand is why homosexual activity between two men is a horrible thing but homosexuality between two women is a “good” thing and popular. If your problem is with homosexuality, are not those two things both homosexual acts?

Gay is good, straight is bad?”

I haven’t seen this movie, but from what I’ve read about it, it is just a story about two men that happen to have a sexual relationship with each other and they happen to be cowboys. Do you actually believe that something like that could never happen? Does this movie actually tell you that “gay is good and straight is bad”, or is that just your idea?

Why are you so upset about a movie that tells a story about events that DO happen, whether we like those events or not? Can’t you just not watch it if you don’t like the story?

Do you believe that the number of straight people or gay people is suddenly going to change because of this movie? If so, on what basis?

Another thing I don’t understand is how you figure that a movie about two queer guys has anything to do with the number of children born out of wedlock, or why you think you are being forced to pay for something you don’t like? Your logic appears to be flawed.

What exactly are you afraid of?

Qouts aand my replies From / To Surplus1:

I just can’t resist asking: How do you know what “God wants”? Does he speak to you at regular intervals?
There's this little thing called histroy, and the Bible. Recorded writings since God revealed Himself to man show what He wants...or are you one of the "enlightened" ones that deny the existence of a greater being?


I will agree with you that homosexual activity can sometimes be unhealthy. But, how do you know that it is against “natural law”?
The fact that nearly all creatures (except those that would otherwise never find eachother...such as worms) are made up of a two sex origin...male and female. There is simply no way to reproduce homesexually.

Do you believe that homosexuals just go out and randomly decide that they are going to be that way? Given the prejudice that has always existed, why would they do that? What I’m asking you is: do gays just make themselves gay or does nature make them gay?
I have several gay / lesbian freinds...all admittedly by choice except one who was gang raped by several men when he was 11.
Ever hear of F2A? They are a group of recovered homosexuals...nobody wants you to hear of them...

Again how do you know that homosexuality "violates God’s law”? Did God tell you that or did somebody else just dream it up and tell you? Who created homosexuals? Was it God or was it some other supernatural being? Perhaps "the devil"?
Again, this thing called the Bible...would you like me to provide the verses? They are pretty clear.

I’ve lived for a long time and no one, homosexual or other wise has ever tried to shove their sexual orientation in my face. When did that happen to you?
You must be BLIND

I don’t care whether you’re anti-gay, silent on the subject, or pro-gay, that’s up to you. I just don’t believe that you or any of the other crusaders is worried about “God’s law”; I think you’re worried about your own phobias.
I have no phobias. In fact I have a 2nd cousin who is gay.

Another thing I don’t quite understand is why homosexual activity between two men is a horrible thing but homosexuality between two women is a “good” thing and popular. If your problem is with homosexuality, are not those two things both homosexual acts?
Yes they are both wrong.

My beef is not with gays, but rather their behavior. Self control is the key to living a respectable life when someone is gay. God loves them as much as He loves anyone else...but their sinful life of homosexual activity is where the wrong lies.
Their entire existence seems to revolve around two things...their gayness and the opposition to any open practice or speech of religion.
If you wish to continue playing to be "open minded", I CHALLENGE you to read the book "The Criminization of Christianity". Then after putting the math together concerning what is going on with it all you'll see. The book is loaded with examples of how religious freedom is under attack while the anything-goes mentality continues to eat away at our countries moral fabric.
