Shotgun 1 #26 April 22, 2005 This is one of the problems with America; too many people grow up thinking that there is something wrong with seeing a woman's naked breast. What is the big deal about seeing a woman breast-feeding her baby??? I just don't get it.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumpjunkie2004 0 #27 April 22, 2005 There's a time and a place for everything. When your child needs to be nursed, it's time. Hopefully, you're in the right place! I breast fed two children, and managed to do so without flashing anyone. If she was doing it with discretion, no one would have even noticed.Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

However, since we live in a time where there ARE people who think there is something wrong, we should at least try and be a little sensitive to them by being discreet if possible. If it's not possible, I say whip it out and feed junior. That is more important than someone's hangups (although some of the same people w/ this hangup probably has no problem at all w/ certain fashions that entail most of the breast being exposed.) -the artist formerly known as sinker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As many have written previously, the Constitution does not give anyone the right NOT to be offended. I think breast feeding is cool!...

Guest #31 April 22, 2005 QuoteIt's called common courtesy, and some people just don't get it. (and it's becoming a little less common every day) It's just another sign of civilization in steep decline. mh ."The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat."

SkyDekker 1,123 #32 April 22, 2005 QuoteIt's just another sign of civilization in steep decline. Exactly, ever since we allowed women any kind of freedom, society has been sliding down a slippery slope. A woman feeding her child in public, obviously we are near the end now.....

Lindsey 0 #33 April 22, 2005 As many have written previously, the Constitution does not give anyone the right NOT to be offended. And I would hope that the limits of one's behavior would be dictated by something other than whatever is allowed under the Constitution. Just because the Constitution doesn't prevent a person from being a jerk, it's not *required* that he be a jerk. Sometimes the Golden Rule is a better marker to set ones standards by. I also think that breastfeeding is cool.-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.

billvon 2,400 #35 April 22, 2005 >Breastfeeding a baby is not a sign of jerkdom. As usual, the two camps have picked out their sides and are battering people over the head with their arguments. It seems pretty clear to me that breastfeeding is something every mother has the right to do wherever they choose. It also seems clear to me that they should respect other people's sensibilities when they do so (whenever possible, of course.) But neither side is willing to concede on either point. I mean, what do you people do if you have to fart on an elevator? If we go by this thread, half of you would hold it in until you got diverticulitis and the other half would let rip at the earliest opportunity. In real life I suspect you just try to wait until you're out of the elevator, no matter which side of the argument you take. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a friend of mine used to say, "There are two kinds of people in this world. "Those that fart and those who get pissed off at people who fart." Very profound IMHO.
