List your favorite reason why public breastfeeding should not be allowed.
Here's my favorites...list yours.



1. Breasts are icky.
2. Children should never be allowed to eat in public.
3. Women just do it to show off.
4. Breastmilk is just FULL of mercury.
5. The child can just be given a hunk of something to choke on to "tide them over"

:rofl:

37. Great idea!
That would get rid of all those nasty fat people too. It's disgusting the way they are allowed to just walk around in society with all their FAT showing!

:sarcasm: for the humor impaired

9. Because life isn't a porn movie
Life isn't a porn movie, right?

And yes, I compared breast feeding to porn. That's right. In a completely serious way too.

15. I think the mods will usually remove patently offensive posts, but
the topic itself isn't a bad one, just one that a lot of whack jobs saw fit to comment on.

Seriously, that's just sick if you consider suckling a child pornography.

11. Because everyone learns in school that if you offer someone candy
you have to bring enough for the rest of the class.

Of flight, in some cases.

16. Because 22 months is too old.
Apparently, if the child is 22 months, it's not really breastfeeding. It's pornography.

Apparently.

19. It's an abomination. Back in my day kids weren't breastfed in public
Edited on Wed Nov-15-06 02:44 PM by GreenJ
we weren't fed at all until nine or ten. We survived by sucking on stones. When we finally were fed we had to walk 10 miles uphill each way to get half a moldy lettuce sandwich. Damn kids demanding to be fed every day, freakin' ridiculous.

33. It causes far too many traffic accidents among immature males.
I mean, we've all heard of rubbernecking, but this is ridiculous. :sarcasm:

Wouldn't you just know, they showed the "Sex and the City" last night that involved phony nipples, and the aforementioned immature males (would you believe baby talk? :puke: )

36. Because...
It's much more appealing to hear a hungry baby scream at the top of its lungs, especially in a small enclosed area like a plane where you can't leave, than to be exposed to any portion of any breast tissue whatsoever.

I love screaming babies!!! Especially on airplanes!!!! Doesn't everybody? Screaming babies = awesome and fun. Miniscule portion of breast peeping out from a shirt = greatest evil mankind ever faced.

causing me to get horny. Little bastards take all the fun out of my leering.
