     USF students Nisreen Swedburg and Sarah Wiliams claim that they were discriminated against by Sowthwest Airlines because they are "too pretty."  They were escorted from the plane by uniformed police officers and banned from flying on any Southwest planes, including their return fights (oops, I mean flights!). 

    They were not discriminated against at all.  The airline has every right to protect their passengers and crew from young women (no matter how pretty they think they are) who disrupt their flights with bad behavior. 

     What is so "pretty" about being combative because you had to wait for a bottle of water, Ms. Swedburg?  Many people around the world would be glad to wait twice as long as you did for just an ounce of it.

     And you, Ms. Williams, your yelling a profanity back at the passenger in the plane's rest room was a real thing of beauty.  You must have looked lovely during that temper tantrum!

     I have lived long enough to know shallowness when I see it.  If these two young "ladies" (and I use the term very loosely) think they were discriminated against because they were "too pretty," they are a couple of the shallowest and most childish young adults I've ever heard of.  Not to mention egotistical and vain.  For their own good, I hope life knocks their egos down a few pegs.  As Proverbs 16:18 says, "Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall."

       According to Ms. Williams, "[The flight attendants] were like older ladies.  We were younger.  Who knows, they could have been just jealous of us because we were younger."  Baloney!  Flight attendants see a lot of life on planes you don't see, and have gotten along fine with women a whole lot prettier (and older) that you are, Ms Williams. 

     How beautiful someone is depends a lot more than on just physical makeup.  These two may be somewhat attractive on the outside, but from what the world has seen of them from the inside, they have a long way to go before they are truly beautiful.  They are far from being too pretty to fly.  They are too raucous to fly.
