Subheadline: "mafic upset at ban, 'Why do you think I came here?'" -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 30, 08:49
Between this and the facebook breast feeding ban, today is full of breast pictures which is a good thing -- nm - oblique Dec 30, 08:13 26
- And y'know, about that ban, I don't have strong feelings either way, but breastfeeding advocate mommies need to chill the fuck out. - TFox Dec 30, 08:17 19
  - I agree...some are trying to cause a scene. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 30, 08:33 2
    - "lactivists" -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 08:36 1
      - ugh. -- nm - znufrii Dec 30, 08:37
  - I don't really have a problem with people doing it anywhere, but my response to "it's a perfectly natural thing!" is always - mafic Dec 30, 08:22 11
    - exactly. "natural" does not mean it has to be public. -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 08:25 5
      - note: I have NO PROBLEM with anyone breastfeeding in public. I just personally prefer not to see the whole boobie on display. -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 08:26 4
        
        yup. there's doing it in public, and then there's flaunting it in public. -- nm - znufrii Dec 30, 08:27 3
        
        I saw a woman stroll around a coffee shop in brooklyn with one boob totally hanging out, and her daughter mindlessly chewing on the nip as a pacifier. - loosilu Dec 30, 08:28 2
        
        let me guess... - znufrii Dec 30, 08:31 1
        
        don't think it was there yet, but similar. -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 08:32
    - If I put a picture of me pissing on Will's empty nose socket on Facebook, they'd take it down, whether I really really had to go or not. -- nm - TFox Dec 30, 08:23 4
      - What an absolutely idiotic comparison. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 30, 08:24 3
        
        It was an excuse to make a Will joke. It didn't exactly smack of serious analysis. - TFox Dec 30, 08:25 2
        
        Generally speaking, jokes should be funny -- nm - oblique Dec 30, 08:26 1
        
        You should lead by example then. -- nm - TFox Dec 30, 08:26
  - *tries to put the lid back on this can of worms* -- nm - oblique Dec 30, 08:19 2
    - I'm all for breastfeeding, I really am, but like anything else, there is a vocal contingent that goes a little batshit. - TFox Dec 30, 08:21 1
      - understatment of the year in this case. -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 08:21
  - "nipple nazis" -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 08:18
- what ban? -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 08:15 2
  - see article -- (link) - oblique Dec 30, 08:16 1
    - ah. Well, I dunno about a ban, but I would prefer if people kept their boobs to themselves. -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 08:18
- srsly? didn't they learn from the uproar that was created when livejournal tried to do the same thing a couple years ago? -- nm - znufrii Dec 30, 08:15 2
  - *faint whisper* -- nm - a livejournal uproar Dec 30, 08:16
  - Yup. Big ruckus -- (link) - oblique Dec 30, 08:16
fwiw it's *always* the germans that go topless. around here, anyway. -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 08:12 2
- tell me about it! on one beach in Hawaii, a gruop of women just started whipping their shirts off. sure enough, they were German. - loosilu Dec 30, 08:15 1
  - I guess Hawaii can expect German tourism to fall off pretty sharply. -- nm - TaurusII Dec 30, 08:26
"J-E-T-S...Tits, Tits, TITS!" -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 30, 08:11
Australia has states? Copycats. -- nm - TFox Dec 30, 08:11 2
- states *and* territories -- nm - Roger More Dec 30, 08:12
- and the one I live in is WA. -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 08:12
"You stand outside the Cave of Tits." -- nm - David Dec 30, 08:10
