    Please show me where I said that?!

    I actually said that DD was perfectly calm on her first longhair flight at 4 months, and that I've no reason to believe she wouldn't be now!

    You've really got a screw loose.

    Apologies I mis-read your later post with Hi2Me, thought it was you.

    lol! I changed it in red and italics, and clearly stated in my post that I'd 'fixed' it! :rotfl:

    Yes. Made it up.

    What's your view on the mentally disabled?

    Should they also be banned from going abroad in case they are on the same flight as you?

    i'll stick my neck out and state the blindingly obvious. if they are a danger to themselves or others they shouldn't be on an aircraft with the general public.

    Loloko, you may want to revise your signature.

    Yes because that's exactly what I've said throughout the whole of this thread. Ban any parents from having fun, and that all parents need to go to Cuba and are allergic to France.

    Brilliant observation.

    edit - oh and ban all children and disabled from flying.

    Why are mentally disabled people dangerous? I was referring to the fact that certain people who are mentally disabled can be a bit noisy.

    I don't understand where you've got the dangerous from!

    Mentally disabled people are not automatically dangerous. Not too much stereotyping there?!!

    When did doughnut say all mentally disabled are dangerous?

    Doughtnut clearly said IF they are, they shouldn't be allowed to. It's quite obvious that some mentally disabled would not be able to cope with flying! No-one has said ALL and tarred with the same brush!
