Nothing wrong with disagreeing with some one. I’m not trying to win a debate, I’m not really all that interested where or when it’s approiate, I just don’t understand why it’s offence to other people?

Don’t really have a use for a soap box. My humor tends to be dry, sarcastic, and literal, not easy to do on the net, much better with beer.

My girl friend hates it when I breast feed in public, But for me the bottle just isn’t the same J

Well assuming by the fact that you breast feed in public means you have a child, does the father know about your girlfriend, I mean it's none of my business but that would be pretty cool if he did and was like "ok whatever'".

... maybe I have a sick and twisted world perspective... But I think Ambie was making a joke.

Correct! You’ve just won a new car with dark tinted windows so you can do whatever you want in public (at least in the car, some restrictions apply, all participants must be willing)

As the runner up in the “what the hell is he trying to say contest ?” you win a free one year trip to Tibet, where you can contemplate my sense of humor

just in case you missed the breast and cat photos in the photo forum

Amusing pic of the day.

I think its funny that anyone finds it offsenive but because people do I think breast feeding women should have the courtsey to not do it at a resturant anywhere else I think is fine

It doesn't offend me; it annoys me.

why?

Same reason why women putting on lipstick in the grocery store annoys me.

So don't try your pseudo-philosophical/psycho-babble crappola on me. The answer is quite simple: IT JUST DOES.

interesting. So your stance is that if someone finds something annoying it should not be allowable in public?

And there it is. Why am I not surprised that you deliberately pretend to be obtuse, no matter what the topic?

When did I state that it shouldn't be allowed because it annoys me? The question was: Why are people offended?

I pointed out that I'm not offended; I'm annoyed. Me, personally. I can't speak for everyone else. But the reasons that have already been outlined in this thread still stand as valid. My annoyance has nothing to do with the issue, as I was addressing a separate topic.

I guess you missed the "YOUR" in my question Ill ask it again

So YOUR stance is that if SOMEONE (notice here I did not use your nor did I use it the first time I asked the question) finds something annoying (or for the basis of the topic offensive) it should not be allowed in public?

I ask questions. Does that make me obtuse? I am just curious I am not trying to undermine your position but personnaly I find it ridiculas that anyone is offended annoyed by it. Its not lewd or sexual so how can it be annoying or offensive. Nor is it ostentatious like your lipstick example

No. My stance is IT'S POINTLESS when there are proper facilities available... facilities that should be utilized as that is what they're there for. Annoyance has nothing to do with it, as I previously stated.

if they are avaible sure, i have seen them at babies r us thats about.

You've never seen a bathroom anywhere but Babies R Us?

i am a paternal person. i was also breast fed as a baby.. Maybe breast feeding has something to do with the outlook of a child as well as all that other stuff.. I have yet to ask my mother if she ever breast fed me in public back then.. 40 some-odd years ago..

But personally, if the mother does something to cover up the actual visual feeding of the child, and doesn't make a 'show' of feeding the child. I see nothing wrong with it being done anywhere..

The lipstick thing is much more, Hmm, disgusting is a bit to strong a word, and annoying to weak a word. The *LOOK AT ME* attitude bites at anytime in public.

Females have Teats, thats what they are for.. so long as i don't have to have it shoved in my face, no biggie to me..
Hmm, lemme rephraise that..
So long as there not bared in my face to feed a child, no biggie...
Cause if they are, i want some to!! LOL

yeah pardon me because I have no common sense whatsoever, It happens alot.

so you expect a breast feeding mother to go sit in a public bathroom for 15 minutes while she feeds the baby. why dont you eat your lunch in there to no doubt it is both comfortable and clean. babies r us has a room just for breast feeding. are you saying that most public bathrooms have a seperate room just for breast feeding?

Did I say that most bathrooms have breast feeding rooms? No. Then that's not what I'm saying. Use your head.

Should people give themselves insulin injections at the dinner table?
