Yeah yeah, keep telling yourself that. Kid yourself that making a paid up female passenger move was respectful.

It's not an isolated incident either.

“For me this is not personal,” Ms. Rabinowitz added. “It is intellectual, ideological and legal. I think to myself, here I am, an older woman, educated, I’ve been around the world, and some guy can decide that I shouldn’t sit next to him. Why?”

Go get em' girl!

Would the link she used which groups two entirely different religions together count., you know, as she links two different stories from two different perspective for two different reasons and makes out that theyre the same exact thing not be enough evidence to suggest that shes thought too little about this entire situation?

It doesn't matter what religion it is, I told you that. It's the demeaning of the woman in both cases that counts.

And thats where the difference is. Youre acting insulted for the sake of acting insulted because in your mind being excessively polite is just as discrimantory as discriminating is. Whereas i take each case for what they are.

I obvious look younger in my profile image than I realised.

Are you trying to be personal again? Sneer away, Cyril. Not once have I done that to you. I wonder which of us that makes the most mature.
