    [SIZE=3"]IF"[/SIZE] I said. I'm not surprised you missed the distinction between a hypothetical and a concrete accusation. Anyway, nice way to skip my points about sexualizing non-sexual uses of things.

    yes, i object to people seeing my body in public becasue it's not that great




    So while you go topless at the beach or pool, you categorically deny the right for women to do so? Is that how far you would go? Or will you allow women the right to decide for themselves. Do you favor criminalization of public breastfeeding or more generally, public female toplessness?

    My wife breastfeeds at the mall, in restaurants, you name it. She wears a nursing shirt and has a receiving blanket she lays over our daughter. You wouldn't see her breast unless you moved the blanket/shirt out of the way.



    OK, I may have been wrong to group you in with others, and maybe you don't ever vocalize your opinions to women about the subject. I still find it troubling however, that people continue to think this way. Women feel like outcasts when they are urged to do this in private, like it's somehow wrong. "Oh my god don't do that here, go away to do THAT."



    And honestly, if someone catches a glimpse of my wife's breast, I'm fine with it. They're NICE.

    she should leave the room. it's a private thing between mother and child and should be done in private




    Eating is done in public all the time.



    Have you ever been to a restaurant?

    So now it's "Fox Sensationalism". That's creative. I guess that's the new spin on Fox -- they're somehow sensationalist and that makes them irrelevant.



    On topic, with no anti-Lefty potshots:



    This type of thing happens all of the time with Child Services. They act without due process every day to take kids away from their parents, all over the country. If you check up on it, you'll find out that CPS actually LOSES children all of the time, right out of foster system hell. Poof, gone.



    There was a big case in Charlotte, NC last year about something similar, where DSS (there) chose to persecute a couple because they were 1) religious, and 2) interracial. Of course they never came right out and SAID that, but that's what it was about. I watched it unfold over many months, and it had tremendous political ramifications in local elections for 2002. CPS or DSS is always right, and due process is not a consideration. It happens too often to be dismissed or to be called a coincidence.



    When you start to look to BLAME someone for this, don't say it's conservatives. As long as folks allow/expect govt. to take care of their every need, govt. will have this kind of power. This is the kind of thing that happens with unchecked bureaucracies.

    It is a perfectly fine breastfeeding position for an older baby. And not all women feel the necessity to cover up while breastfeeding, especially when they are at home. There is absolutely nothing sexually abusive or exploitative about it.

    This has nothign to do with Texas, the law, or if its taboo or not. i think it solely lands on um The Dallas Observer. I have designed a lot of our ads in there, and have met plenty of people over there. We do a lot of advertising in the dallas market, and dallas tho very very religious probably promotes breast feeding if anything else. I just can't tell you how incredilous that publication is for its accuracy of details, at least in my opinion which I admit may be objectionable (is that a real word?). They have messed up a lot of times before when I lived in Dallas for 4 years.



    I recall once something to be about the water supply, something about toxins they got in a lab test they sent off... well it causes quite a ruckus and the city looked into it... and well supposedly 4 or so sources came back all negative for pollutants of any significant quantity... Anyways it caused quite a ruckus and a lot of tax dollars investigating the water supply.



    They did once an awesome look at the comic book industry and I really like their entertainment news... but remember the dallas obersver is a free pickup daily.. they do a lot of things to inspire a high pickup and transfer rate...

    exactly, and embelish (sp?) the details...

    tho I do think Child protective services warrant far to much power, and basically break up familise if things are against popular norm...



    *edit* crap I can't type tonight!

    "Lafuente says he has been willing to concede that the photos show behavior that some people of a conservative nature might consider inappropriate, such as a mother bathing with her 4-year-old, or being topless around the kids. Yet those hardly rise to the level of sexual abuse. The family lives together in one room, making privacy difficult, but that does not mean Mercado and Fernandez are not loving parents, he says."



    It's all about conservatism, actually. liberals don't exactly criminalize everything, now, do they? jesus, you can't even take pictures of breast-feeding your kid without the prude patrol coming down on you. wow why won't you just accept the truth about your own ideological tradition?

    Obviously he doesn't mean "conservative" in a political sense.

    I agree with this at 100 %

    If people are not confortable with breastfeeding, it's because they may have silly ideas when they see a breast ...

    Even though I'm 29 years old... everytime I return home I breast feed. Is there anything wrong with that?
