I wouldn't put my kid on a plane to Sydney, even at 8, and even though she's an outstanding traveler. Actually, she'd probably be fine, as she does pretty well on 22 hour car trips.

My parents stuck my brother and me on a plane to Boise, ID when I was about 8 and he was 6. We fought with each other a lot in both directions. I can only imagine how much we pissed off the people around us in retrospect, and how much those people were cursing my parents for sticking two annoying boys on a cross country flight by themselves.

Was supposed to fly out on San Fran in Sunday for a hearing Monday at 9 AM.

Motion to Dismiss Granted. Hearing Vacated.

Woot.

What's the optimum time for chewing a couple pieces of gum at once before you get rid of it? Whatever flavor it was, I don't know. It was Orbit. 25 minutes? 30?

I don't plan to live that long.

If you don't have kids, who is going to hold the pillow over your head so you can die a dignified death?

Met a couple of longhairs from Auburn, Alabama last night. They told me not to move South or Midwest.

I'm sure someone on this forum will be more than happy. However, dying a dignified death is not a concern of mine, either. I don't mind an hilarious and/or embarrassing death.

A lot of people think I'm joking with this stuff, but I'm not. I'm dead serious when I say that I don't want a funeral, and if my family/friends want to celebrate my life after my death, I want to be flung off of a cliff with a catapult (which I don't think is feasible due to public health concerns).

1.) It's certainly reasonable to choose not to have children. Your thoughts on this issue in your early-mid 20s (assuming you don't have children already) are, however, utterly uninformed and meaningless. It doesn't matter how smart you think you are; at those ages you know virtually nothing about anything that is real - anything that matters. Abstractions aren't worth a damn when it comes to nut-cuttin time.

2.) If you choose not to have children, you should concede that you do not know - and will never know - anything about children, parenting, or the life-altering nature of being completely responsible for human beings other than yourself and, therefore, having every decision you make in your life being only tangentially related to what you want to do or what you want (of course, having children is a necessary but not sufficient precondition for knowing anything about these topics; many people with many children will never understand either). Again, a perfectly reasonable choice, but one that precludes you from accurately judging others.

3.) My kids are 7 and 6. They've both flown at least 15 times, but never more than 4 or 5 hours. I sympathize with dafaji, as I travel frequently and understand how much that situation sucks. That said, tough shit. People need to get places. If it was a sufficient problem, airlines would deal with it somehow.
