Errr...how long until breastfeeding in public is changed because the Muslims might be offended and riot?

Oh lawd....

When that starts happening, I think that we should stop ALL immigration to the USA except for non-Muslims from Great Britain, so that they might have an opportunity to escape what has become a seething cauldron of total insanity.

OH NO, NOT EXPOSED BREASTS IN PUBLIC!!!!! WE HAVE TO GO BACK HOME, KIDS!!! WATCH SOME RAMBO INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT SIMPLE BODY PARTS!!!!

No, that’s ok - according to a recent Egyptian fatwa, if a woman breastfeeds a man five times, they can be considered family and left alone together. Just imagine, one happy family in Britain now, Muslim and kaffir alike.

YUCK!!!!!! ...LOL

[television is just wrong]

After cell phone pictures of the breastfeeding women are splashed all over the internet, most will be inclined to be a little bit more discrete.

I’m ambivalent....not about breasts....I love them. God bless em...

But ...I am conflicted on breast feeding in public.

I think a bit of cover is better than letting it all hang out for sure..

My wives only breastfed for a month or so and used at least a big burp towel to cover the baby’s head well

then after a month, it was Enfamil Low Iron or Lipilease....it’s easier for night feeding...quicker....babies will suck on the teat leisurely....especially boys....they don’t feed as strongly...

Britain's estimated 5,000 transsexuals will be brought under the umbrella of anti-discrimination laws.

Wow, could we get all of them together for a photo shoot of them breast feeding?

That'd be a classic...

It's unfortunate that these days the threat of instant international humiliation is required in order to encourage people to exercise the most basic and minimal forms of decorum, but if that's what it takes, so be it..

My first thought as well....

Dear UK Bureaucrats & assorted Pinheaded Paper-Pushers,
Don't you know that Muslim males nowadays slip into a maelstrom of pure temptation at the mere thought of an exposed breast?

Here's hoping that slows down some Muslim Extremist Population growth. ;)

I breastfed both my children well past 12 months, my first until 2 years and my daughter until 18 months. I never exposed my breasts, there is no need for that. With the right blouse, you can cover your “stuff” and allow the child to remain uncovered so that they don’t sweat while eating. There were many times that I could breastfeed and people would actually walk up to me and start talking, not knowing I was nursing at all. There is an art to it.

Your feelings of conflict would most likely disappear if there weren't so many slovenly women (notice I'm not using the complimentary term "Ladies") who care not a whit about the sensitivities of others.  If the concepts of grace and decorum were universally adopted as a matter of course, this would never have arisen as an issue of law.

I think a bit of cover is better than letting it all hang out for sure..

Although the article states that the law specifies it be done 'discreetly', we can rest assured that there will always be those who insist on testing the limits of the law and will create public nuisances of themselves as a result.  The already overworked police of Great Britain will find themselves needing to determine whether vaguely expressed "discretion": standards are being complied with, and this vagueness will encourage activists to push for a complete revocation of all allusions to 'discretion' in the law.

[I still care]

We saw a woman pumping her breast in Disneyworld last week, letting it all hang out. It was disgusting, we had kids there.

I don’t think the female body is dirty, but there is such a thing as propriety. I personally think women that do stuff like that are exhibitionists. They have a sexual screw lose somewhere.

What an awful thing for your family to be subjected to.  I'm so sorry that you had a joyous time spoiled by such a lowlife.

That may well be, although I tend to lean toward the feeling that they simply have no class, and have a disdain for traditional concepts of courtesy and decency; if they ever learned such things to begin with..
