Greens are always good for a laugh.

"Parents are urged to get in tune with their infant's body signals and hold babies over toilets, buckets and shrubbery or any other convenient receptacle when nature calls."

Well, we just need to plant more shrubbery in and outside the house. That'll make your greens greener! What a bunch of idiots. We got 2 grandsons right now in the diaper to training period. I can't imagine.

I wonder if their stoopid theory also covers older people with Depends????

[beaversmom]

Okay I found it at the baby site--it's called practicing elimination communication with your child. I guess the article does mention that term.

My wife and I are expecting twin girls this summer. We already have 2500 diaper stockpiled. And as for this suggestion, NO WAY IN HECK!

We should learn from the Chinese, who apparently know all about how to raise kids without diapers . . .

I'm looking to patent a version of this here in the U.S. -- I'll call it the "@ss-Hole" brand of children's clothing.

I've got plans for an adult version, too.

I'd go for it only if you could teach the infants to recognize one of these whackos, and then teach him/her how to throw accurately.

Bauer calls freedom from diapers "responsive infant-care."

Germs, everywhere, disease, nasty mess on every public surface. Total irresponsibility.

Former Vice President Al Gore joined the board of a waterless urinal company late last year...

Sure, why not. He's not doing anything else...

[Doctor Raoul]

Typical liberal crap...

Meanwhile crotchless pants for babies are going to way of the dinosaur in China. Younger couples are no longer using kaidangkues in favor of disposable diapers.

[TChris]

Oh good grief! Are we going to have to deal with enviro-whackos holding their babies out over the gutter so they can relieve themselves in public? Their nuttiness continues to amaze...

Noting many greens' opposition to flush toilets and now baby diapers, Bidinotto said environmentalists' have a "strange affinity for bodily wastes," and he believes they have become "obsessed with toilet issues."

Good summary, imho.

[Scothia]

Well, all I can say is:

[badgerlandjim]

"...diaper... huh?... what diaper?..."

[Logophile]

Noelle finally chose to go diaperless and looked to traditional cultures for inspiration. "How I longed for a simple, dirt-floored, baby-friendly hut like that of a Yequana family," he wrote. . . . Natec agrees with Noelle that modern society has a lot to learn from the traditional ways of life.

I don't know much about the Yequana (who live in Venezuela). However, as a missionary in Guatemala, I saw many "simple, dirt-floored huts" and got a taste of the "traditional ways of life." It is not such a great life.

Once, I participated in a health and welfare survey of the local Indian population. I remember interviewing one family who lived in a "simple, dirt-floored hut." They had three living children; another four children had died in infancy. I was told that in that particular region of highland Guatemala, ten children died every day from measles and other childhood diseases. Crippling, blinding, and disfiguring diseases were common, as was malnutrition.

I would urge these green nitwits to spend five years living the "traditional" way before touting it as the solution to our ills. Frankly, I doubt any of them would last five weeks.

Infants give recognizable signs of imminent peeing and pooping; >/i>
If they do, the time period from the signs to the actual deed is measured in microseconds. How many of these children will get whiplash when parents snatch them up and run to the bathroom?

[KidGlock]

What a load of crap!

to get in tune with their infant's body signals and hold babies over toilets, buckets and shrubbery or any other convenient receptacle when nature calls.

You can get into trouble if, while walking your doggie, the critter decides to stop in front of an envirowacko's house to do the very same thing. You see, the "hierarchy of life," as far as a liberal is concerned, looks like this: At the bottom of the list, human beings -- followed by so-called "animals" (aka "companions") -- followed by trees and shrubs at the top of the list. I recall a news item in which a New York doctor stormed out of his home and shot a dog who was peeing on "his" tree, even though the tree was on a public sidewalk. [Never mind that the dog family has been on this earth longer than the human race!] I don't imagine that human babies would fare any better with such green-nazis.

Scrappleface, right?

Speaking of "primitive worship" did anyone see Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz in 'Trippin' last week? I heard it was insane. These two pampered Hollywood wierdos were saying how great it was to "take a poo in the woods hunched over lika an animal".
