Actually (my apologies to anyone who complained and this will offend) but I wouldn't overestimate people. They actually didn't think your warning was clear enough to prevent them from clicking on the thread. It didn't help that I can't bold or italicize subject lines.
I honestly didn't know it would upset you, so I apologize again.

BTW: I have a question!
Can you guys tell me what was wrong with Janet Jacksons nipple being exposed live on TV? I never saw the whole sense why so many people, especially Americans, got so offended by it! Over here in Germany we see breasts every day and every hour! Last year, we even had a breast enhancement live on TV aorund here!

i'm truly not upset, janice, so DON'T apologize (too late! it's already out there.
)
it was odd to wake up at 4 am to see the change but i responded immediately in my own unique way.
well, i still see it as their shortcoming & to be so bothered by such a pic says volumes to me...volumes. i've had my boob w/ my son nursing on the internet for going on 8 or so years now & i've never been upset by others repressed nature; i just adjust my life accordingly w/out compromising my philosophy.
btw, did you check out the links? i was hoping you would.

i used to do the graphics for that site & laura is a dear friend of mine. nursing my son was one of the most wonderful things i've ever done & savor every memory.
i'm sure you'll have similar feelings when you have your little one skin-to-skin, taking love, comfort & nourishment from you. there's no icon that represents those thoughts & feelings. at least not here.
ya, gotta love our self-proclaimed nipple nazi.

all i can say is that there is an inordinent (sp?) number of repressed individuals. folks will have their children watch a violent scene before a sexual one. one destroys/damages life
, the other creates life & feels wonderful.
i don't see what the problem is myself. maybe i'm just in the wrong country? who knows...

I read through them just now, I loved all of them, but be careful! I've come to the conclusion several years ago I did not wish to have children, but seeing things like this:

(scroll down to the very last two images)
make me giggle and kind of wonder....

a boob is a boob to that little person..and is to most who nurse.
i didn't want children either. my idea was to give birth to pups & kittens so they'd grow up quickly & if i didn't want to keep them i could sell them.
having my son changed my mind about a few things but i still don't think folks are incomplete w/out children in their life. it's a personal decision for sure.

What a way to make an impression with my first few posts. LMAO.
I've got a two year old that weaned herself at 6 months and a 6 month old that will probably never want to stop nursing. She loves the boob!

I'm sad that people were offended. My bf and I have recently been talking more about kids and he knows I am so strongly for breastfeeding as long as they want it. I don't know why anyone would do anything else. It's a beautiful thing to continue to do something our bodies were made to do and have been doing since the beginning of time. You are an awesome person to be willing to share that experience with everyone Orodwen.

i think my son would have kept going as more of a comfort thing but we decided to stop when he was 2.5 yr old. *hears muffled gasps* :roll: he's now 16 & when my mgr met him she was impressed w/ out gracious & joyful he is. i hope he finds a good woman who agrees w/ him philosophically. i know he wants a mate & children.

My two year old was way too interested in everything going on around her to stay put long enough to nurse. Eventually I just gave up and pumped for her. She loved to hold her bottle and watch the world go by LOL.
The baby, on the other hand, is what they call a constant nurser, she'll go for hours at a time if I let her.
People that are offended by breastfeeding baffle me. It doesn't get more natural than breastfeeding.

thank you. it's disappointing but not unusual. i think of all the women who are nursing their child(ren) while shopping when approached by an employee who request that they go to the bathroom to do that or are even escorted out of malls/stores. the first time i nursed in public our son was less than 2 months old & we were eating at a restaurant. there were 2 women eating across from us & when they stood up to leave they both gave me a thumbs up. i wasn't overt about how i nursed & i was behind a table at a booth so it wasn't really obvious. they noticed, however, and were very encouraging & positive in their response. i've never really had to deal w/ the negativity & repressed/close-minded nature of individuals who are embarrassed by it or find it indecent but i've known a few who have. just remember that when your time comes when your child needs to nurse that you are doing the very best thing for you & your little one. don't let anyone intimidate you. breastfeeding is a beauteous thing.
