[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd like to see some of the never-seat-swapping posters answer the question of the last PP below! 
[quote=Anonymous]

Would you be willing to assist a 5 year old sitting next to you in s crisis? You know, put their oxygen mask on and all that and help them evacuate?[/quote][/quote]

I would not.  I would likely have my own child with me who would get my assistance first.  You know, since I was responsible enough to get seats together and all. This question makes me angry.  Take care of your own damn children.  You've never helped me with mine.[/quote]

So if you ended up with a head injury due to turbulence and couldn't help your own child, I shouldn't bother to help you or your child either? After all, you've never helped me or my child.[/quote]

You don't see the difference in intentionally sitting away from your child?

I see this logic all the time, seeing children as extensions of their parent, and judging what they deserve based on what you think the parent deserves.

If I was on a plane, and the oxygen masks fell, and there was a child within reach who didn't put theirs on or get it put on them, I'd help.  This is true even if the parents did everything "right" and has been knocked unconscious.  It's also true if the reasons that the parent is not helping is because they are  strung out on heroin, or just can't be bothered.  It's even true if the children are the children of an a*!%hole like the PP, because children are separate people from their parents and have value in and of themselves.
