Porn on a Plane

The idea of pornography being offered on a plane seems pretty outlandish and inappropriate. I realize some flights are very long and can get pretty boring, but it is ridiculous to need porn so desperately that we start offering it out. Looking at porn on an airplane seems inconsiderate from my point of view. It's common courtesy. I would rather not look over at the passenger accross from me and see him fondling himself to a bunch of naked Asian women. I do not believe porn is wrong, but it should be watched privately and definitely NOT on an airplane.

I believe children are already exposed to enough dangerous and explicit images, that this would only make it worse. I have always made it a point to censor my language and actions around children, because I would not want somebody acting indecent around my child. It is only fair to be considerate to others in public. After all, there are many laws about public nudity; I'd find it hypocritical to allow pornography to be offered on such a public form of transportation.

  1. It is not simply a matter of pornography being offered on a plane, it the airline itself claiming it has some right and even an obligation to restrict and censor freedom to surf the internet. Of course people with any sense of common decency shouldn't watch porn in a public area like a plane, but neither should an airline be able to limit freedom.
