LOL! That's fried CHICKEN, not fish!

[unspun]

Well, just be careful not to lean into the pan, yourself! - unless you're tall enough that it doesn't matter.

Tempest in a teapot. There is nothing more natural than a mama breastfeeding her baby, fercryinoutloud. The Lovely Wife has nursed all seven of our babies (still nursing #7, as a matter of fact). Does she just whip out a boob while shaking hands at a cocktail party? Hardly. Never ceases to amaze me how discreetly she can nurse the baby darned near anywhere......and no one is the wiser.

This is natural and people just need to get over it.

So you won't mind if my spouse and I 'go for it' in our front yard? How about in the booth next to you at Red Lobster?

Check the seat at that booth first. After all, taking a dump is "natural" too. Right?

"We know that bosoms’ primary purpose is to feed infants,"

Wrong, but thanks for playing our little game.

Breastfeeding is natural...Whatever your views on breastfeeding, it would be absurd to deny women the right to feed their children in public.

Well, urinating and defecating and having sex are natural, too, but they're not something you do in public.

..not as confused as an Australian state parliament, though, which last week evicted Kirstie Marshall, a 33-year-old MP, for breastfeeding her 10-day-old daughter Charlotte in the chamber. Apparently this was because under some convenient antiquated law, Charlotte was a “stranger” to the house and therefore banned....

That's really misleading.

The Speaker had already arranged for a small antechamber to be available for Ms Marshall, in the event that she needed to breastfeed her baby. She did not avail herself of that option: my guess, due to the opportunity she'd be passing up, for a little feminist provocation.

Baby is hungry. Your just horny. You can wait. Feeding a baby and your sex act are not the same.
This would be like comparing breathing with scratching my ass.

Urinating and defficating are natural and " heathy " too. I don't want to see those healthful and natural activities done in public either. Did GOD creat us to defficate, urinate, and engage in sexual confgress in public view, during working hours, as well ? Why should one be ashamed to do those things out in the open ? hey, what about clothes ? GOD created Adam & Eve naked and so were we all born naked. Oh, I know, the expulsion from Eden; however, we counterman GOD's decree about pain, during childbirth , as well.

Mothers, who breastfeed in public, are exhibitionistic feminists. You're " silly " to think that any " natural " act should not be hidden from view. You get over it !

I know of no such 'right', nor of any that protects exposing oneself in public.

[MeekMom]

Can anyone say "Extremist needs a chill pill?"

[nopardons]

Yes, dear; so take one or two, or three. You do need to " chill out " some. ;^ )

[Happygal]

I don't believe it! You posted a whole thread about breasts, and hardly any pictures! *L*

Here you go

[Teacher317]

LOL! Good one

Eew! Okay, now I'm uncomfortable right here in the privacy of my own home.

This is natural and people just need to get over it.

Sex is natural, too. But something tells me you would object to that in public. Not flaming, just pointing out the discrepancy......

[M Kehoe]

What!? No pictures of the lady PM?

[M Kehoe]

PM=MP Sheesh!!

More coffee is needed.

We know that bosoms’ primary purpose is to feed infants, but we also live in a breast-obsessed society...

Allow me to set the record straight on this bit of oft-repeated claptrap. Mammary glands certainly do exist in order to feed mammals (get it?) but human breasts are sexual organs. To illustrate: a non-lactating human has much larger breasts than a lactating gorilla. Why? Because the size and roundness of human female breasts exist to entice the male--no more, no less. As a matter of fact, large pendulous breasts are actually a hindrance to successful breast feeding in that they can easily cover the nostrils of the feeding infant (infants obviously need to breathe through their noses while they nurse).

So, guys, if you like boobs, it is because God or Darwin (pick one or both) made it just so.
