The thing is that I can see both sides of the arguement.

Americans in general are uptight about sex and nudity to a somewhat ridiculous degree but on the other hand I can understand why some people might not want their young children exposed to sexual images.

Now I haven't seen the picture on the shirt but the description says that it shows a man and a woman who has her breasts out.

Given that description I'd say that most likely it was something sexual being depicted on there rather than something artistic (I doubt this was a T-shirt of the Venus De Milo somehow). In which case since young children are frequently present on planes I can understand why the crew might have a problem with it.

Let me give a suitable analogy. If you took your kids to McDonalds and a bunch of people walked in using every swear word under the sun you'd probably not be too happy about them. Sure under the first amendment they have the right to swear as much as they like in front of 5 year olds but I'm sure no one would complain much if the staff told them to leave.

Basically I like breasts as much as the next man but there is a time and a place for them and as far as I can gather this wasn't it.

Now if he'd been thrown out of a bar it would be another matter :D

I think this all fits in nicely with the whole "family (American, relgious, call it what you will) values" type agenda. You know, like John Ashcroft (Attorney General) covering up a naked statue with a sash. He did that you know. Its exactly like that one Simpsons episode, I kid you not.

He's probably sick of people being confused by the phrase 'there's that tit on the telly again', so he's removed the ambiguity.

Long?

..funded partly by the Bush administration, which is a strong supporter of abstinence.

The state of Louisiana, for example, has abolished all programmes providing what is known as comprehensive sex education - classes which give students information about contraception and abortion in addition to encouraging them to wait before entering into a sexual relationship.

Yay backwardness!

Not to mention the fact that True Love Waits not only doesn't work but actually leaves kids more vulnerable to disease and pregnancy.

Well I know what it is now, I'm taking anatomy this year, so I'm going to find out a lot more than I want to know.

You know I'm right. All I am saying is that I have seen more lawsuits filed for various reasons, both stupid, and some perfectly legitimate, example, someone getting ripped off in business, cheating the law, etc, and some things like spilled coffee and such. All I am saying is that I see more of that stuff in the NORTH! I didnt say ALL northern people sue wherever they can. In fact its mostly those in the northeast states. People in South Dakota are pretty laid back when i think about it.

But, for some reason, I have yet to see a common redneck run up to me with a "boomstick" and a shot of "XXX" beer in a jug, with crooked teeth and a half-hearted smile, yipping out for no particular reason at all. I have been to the west, the east, and the south of the south. In fact, here in Texas every expects us to own farms, horses, be lazy cowboys who have farms and do all sorts of weird **** that everyone thinks we do. We dont. I have never seen a redneck, honestly, just like I have never seen a drunk guy. The only drunk guy who was within a few yards of me was a guy who was just OUT of it at my aunts house in South Dakota. He was gone man... :wtf:

But, it seems we are hijacking this thread about steryotypes. Everyone has their own visions, everyone has their own thoughts, and it helps to meet someone first before you try and judge them. Can I get an amen? I have been to northeastern states, I have read news there, I have interacted with people there, and then when I come home I hear more news about them. Guess who just filed a lawsuit? :doubt:
