You're not suggesting that the majority of people are disgusted by this, are you? It's really only a select few who would see this and actually lose their appetite. You're caught up in this norm. The fact is that we need to change this norm for people to accept this and move on.

I can't really think up of many things that could require more empathy than allowing a baby to be fed in peace when it's hungry... Which is more important, the nutrition of a human being which can't feed itself, or the personal disgust of an immature grown-up who thinks it's unnatural to feed the baby? I agree, BlueLancer. And Zierro, that's just the public, social norm that is speaking for you. It would be horrible if this norm affected our lives in everything we do. Not everyone will accept this, perhaps, but what we are talking about is a defenseless baby who needs to eat. It doesn't get to choose when it's hungry, and I think it's pretty disgraceful to offer breastfeeding "zones" for this. It's not harming anyone, not in any way. People need to start to learn how to accept this, and this is much easier to do at a younger age. Young, innocent children will see this, and see that it is acceptable, and move on. Nobody's going to start a fit, and nobody is going to be damaged by it. And please, don't compare this to sex or anything else like that.

Shut your mouth and stop pretending like you know OT's capabilities.

Those mature tags kind of take away what Off-Topic is supposed to be like. It's become a cesspool lately. Nothing is interesting anymore. I no longer have the desire to check on this place as much as I did. Perhaps this enforcement plan can bring back more quality posts from new and old users alike. If the community cooperates, we can revive the Off-Topic forums.

Cool playing with you guys today. :)

What do you mean if we need you? It would be great to have you!

Change of plans. Erm, I could probably play in the afternoon later on today, but not at night. I'm going to bed early tonight.

Well man, it hurts my eyes because of its overall, erm, composition. The tree is displacing that neat little skill boarder you have going around the perimeter of the signature, making the boarder not a boarder, but a weird kind of, well, something. It doesn't look good. There's no balance. I would also work on incorporating some actual art into your pieces, too. All you did here was copy and paste a few things, right?

Dammit Rush,where the hell have you been? I haven't seen you post in ages. I haven't neglected the Gallery for too long, have I? :( Aah, I should really check that place more often. Better yet, I should break out GIMP and start messing around again, or take out my drawing pencils and do a new piece. Nope, you're wrong. Lenin?

As I said in PM, I misunderstood you. That was entirely my fault, I apologize. And I still think that your norms shouldn't be the absolute answer. Some may not accept that, some may accept that, but in the sense and nature of the action of breastfeeding, I personally believe that it more than qualifies a right to be in public places.

nvm

Meeee!!! I'm up for whatever Team tactical/SnD/HQ/TDM Just as long as its not hardcore, I really dont like hardcore :( D: Ill talk to you later. Bluejay: Hes moved into to tw. I think we should do both. We should maybe discuss some of the details in Private Chat, but what should our clan tag be? Maybe [TIF] or [tif] or [Tif] or something like that.

Just because they're natural doesn't mean you classify everything as "natural" and therefore treat every one of them the same. In some ways, different for the different types of actions, that might be the case, like, for example, the right to do them in private. That shouldn't be the case with breastfeeding. That's my point.

Nope. wizzkid785?

I completely disagree. Sex is totally different. Sex, for one thing, isn't required (there are arguments about this but they are separate), and even if you disagree with this, it's competely different from feeding a baby. A baby needs to eat. Many things are natural, and I believe that breastfeeding is at one of the most basic levels that it should be allowed. You are to look away and say to yourself, "Oh, she's just feeding her baby. Babies need to eat." Now, what, you say that it's still in your head? That's pretty disturbing that you couldn't just accept the fact that the baby is eating and move on.

Never. Never give up your personal freedoms and individual rights for safety.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army - I loved this. The scenes and monsters are incredible, as is expected from the person behind Pan's Labyrinth. It was an amazing experience. Funny, too. Loved it.

The only reason Mlbfan posted this or any news article is so he could post some witty comment or smart comment about the situation. OT: Whatver. I don't really, erm, I'm not in this.

I'll play something sometime.

Breastfeeding is completely, 100% natural. I think it's just completely natural and fair for women to breastfeed in public places. People are supposed to just look away. And I find that the bottle argument is completely irrelevant.

I finally went and saw it today, and I enjoyed myself. It's pretty funny, the action scenes are pretty good, and it's a pleasant experience overall. I'd recommend it.

Just bite the bullet and go for it. That's what it boils down to. You have to know what you want. Level everything in your life. Ask yourself which one you'd want more, in the long term. It's your mental state of mind. You have to be motivated and know that this new lifestyle is what you want. The things that you are currently doing to yourself is temporary relief, a stall, of the inevidable outcome of your soon-to-be pathetic life. Process and understand that this outcome is a horrible way to spend your life, as everyone knows, and just do it. It's easy when you try. It's easy when you simplify things. It doesn't have to be hard, you know. I hope this helped a little. I might have more later. Feel free to PM me if you want.

Hmm, now that I think about it, I probably did buy into the Santa, Easter Bunny, and Tooth Fairy thing, maybe I just don't remember it. I loved that episode of Rugrats. I didn't really have that watermelon fear, though. :P

I thought I saw you with a mic. And no, you guys should definitely be able to join, actually, but for the sake of the clan, anyone who joins should make an honest effort to at least try to get a mic. And speedofsound, I'll add you next time I'm on. :)

"My dad's gonna wonder where I am!" "He'll never know you're gone!" You're absolutely right! That scene made me laugh the most! :lol: You guys, check out this trailer I found online, it's great. Contains some language. lSrSAJS2rY0
