What tool, you've lost me
You are obviously so super intelligent that I can't understand you
The spell check 'tool' you alluded to that allowed you to post some inane, incorrect grammar

Spell check is not grammar check, two separate things
Neither of which I use.. obviously 
Same-Sex Couple Calls Out Airline For Asking Them To Move So Straight Couple Could Sit Together
[Photo: Facebook]
A lesbian couple travelling with their daughter have accused an airline of “blatant homophobia and discrimination” after they were asked to move seats so a husband and wife could sit together.
Kristina Antoniades and her partner Merrin Hicks were travelling on a Qantas flight when Hicks was asked to swap seats with a woman so she could sit with her husband.
When Hicks refused the request, the flight manager asked her why she wouldn’t move, Pink News reports.
Hicks and Antoniades explained that they were a couple, sat with their daughter, but say that the airline staff still insisted they allow the straight couple to sit together.

Antoniades took to her Facebook on Tuesday to share her upsetting experience in a heated post, explaining that both she and her partner told the flight manager – who insisted on seeing their boarding passes to check their seat numbers – that there were sat in their designated seats.
“I again told her that Merrin was my partner and Lily our daughter,” she wrote. “I told her we had just as much right to be seated together as the married couple.
According to the Facebook post (which has now been made private) the on-board disagreement ended with both Antoniades and Hicks in tears – and without an apology. “She simply walked away. She did not offer an apology,” the post reads.
Qantas has since apologised, explaining that on that particular flight they were “faced with two separate groups of customers asking to switch seats to sit together, including an elderly couple.”

Not that I am defending Qantas, obviously an arse working for them; but they probably didn't believe the lesbians were really a couple... Probably thought it was a ruse to stay seated together.
It really is hard to believe that a major, western airline could be so absolutely ****ing stupid. As a PR episode, Qantas has just basically ****ed itself.

I'd have preferred it if they caught him and beheaded him live on TV with a rusty Stanley knife.
After having skinned his bollocks and dipping him in a vat of salt
The ****ing piece of ****
2 chicks and a kid, in their designated seats? Bit of a stretch. In fact assuming that because it was two women and not a man and woman, is still descrimination isn't it?
Basically the airline empoyee didn't rate gay marriage. She obviously gave preference to a traditional marriage
Man Straps Used Wood To Truck Tire To Get Out Of The Mud

There are times in life when being bogged down in a muddy rut is just an opportunity to regain traction and make strides. Sometimes you can pull yourself out without aid or assistance, while other times you have no choice but to grab an old piece of wood and strap it to your heavy truck's tire to get the job down.
There's perhaps no greater feeling of helplessness than when your car or truck's accelerator is slammed to the floor, but the only response is the whirring of tires and the absence of movement. A Facebook user named Dan Mengedoht posted a video that shows a truck driver demonstrating a

That's obviously what the ladies involved believe... And it may be correct. In just perhaps being optimistic and giving the airline benefit of the doubt.
Either way what they did was wrong. If someone won't give up their seat the airline shouldn't force them anyway.

I had a simlar experience when I was made redundant years ago, the dole were assessing me and I asked them, does it matter whether my working partner is a man or a woman. The girl behind the desk admitted that was true, if my partner was a man, there was no recognition I was living with someone and it did not affect my payments, but if I lived with a woman and said I we we're not together, I have to prove it
Oh Ireland.. never change
wtf is with the messed up quote function?
