Interesting story from WWW .
Terminology, attitudes and behaviours change between ages and the key to a healthy flight deck and healthy society for that matter must surely be the ability for everyone to realise that the reason we're such a wonderfully creative species is variety. As such we should learn to respect it even if we disagree.
How boring would life be if we were all the same? All marching in the same direction. All inspiration for creativity and advancement in understanding of this weird and wonderful planet would be quashed if everyone thought in the same way wouldn't it? Normality is only relative to what you've experienced in your life. Hitler would've been served in any American restaurant in the 1930's and 1940's. He was a non-smoking, non-drinking, vegetarian in a smart suit (perfect guy for 2005, eh?!) but contrast him to black US olympic champion Jesse Owens who was refused service in many American eating establishments after his success in Berlin in 1936.... mankinds narrowmindedness creating unnecessary negativity.
But back to WWW - how much longer before 'Ghetto-blaster', for similar reasons, is found to be unacceptable terminology too? The times are a-changing.
