Air Canada will pay no price for a decision that insults the vast majority of its clients and undermines one of the most beautiful and essential building blocks of civilization: the existence, and even celebration, of the two sexes.

I like Dennis Prager but I think he goes a little overboard here in this piece. Air Canada won’t pay a price for this decision because normal people don’t give a damn whether you call them “ladies and gentlemen” or “everybody.”

I hate flying for a whole host of reasons. Calling me a “gentleman” after I’ve been put through TSA screening and crammed into a tiny coach seat isn’t going to change my mind about that.

Air Canada has probably made a smart business move because they’re catering to the only stunted misfits who give a sh!t about how they’re addressed in public announcements.

We had a saying in the Army: "You spend 90% of your time on 10% of your people." You could figure on 10% of your troops to be bouncing checks, getting DUIs, beating spouses, violating the UCMJ, etc.

The 90% wouldn't applaud your dealing harshly with the 10% even though doing so made their lives easier.

It's time to tell our LGBTQ and sometimes Y 10% to get over themselves.

Air Canada announced last week that it will no longer use the phrase "ladies and gentlemen" on board its flights.

Ok - I don't see why this is necessary. If there's a guy who has the mental state of he is really a woman, why wouldn't he/she hear that greeting and be satisfied with the "ladies" part ? And vice-versa for a she/he.

The extortion of corporations by the few, shame on you. The majority should show them who’s boss with a wake up call. See if they can survive on the gay, lesbian and transgender crowd

Should we even be allowing lunatics onboard commercial flights? Doesn’t sound wise to me.

Oh yea, Chic Fila is really hurting from a couple of poofter towns closing their stores. I believe they realize that there is more to life than money.
