Ok. Back to the gutter.

Did you get a look at the woman who was doing the feeding?!? Holy Toledo, the woman's who filed the complaint's boyfriend wishes the point of the breast feeding was to tease him.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

What is "a non-sequitur"?


You started this by challenging Ethel's statement that continued breastfeeding is bad for the teeth by saying "are you a pediatrician" and following it up with "only a doctor can say if it's doing damage." The thing you said had no real relationship to the thing they said.

I countered by pointing out that a physician is the proper source of medical advice. You are doing the equivalent of responding that a professional driver is a better source of information on good driving habits than some random on the street by pointing out that the way a character portrayed by a stunt driver in a crash scene is not a good example of safe driving.

Shockingly, we *do* use NS stats, with the exception of lifespan.

The problem is that you think that's a counter. Again if you were feeding the kid cigarettes a non-doctor could note that its a bad thing. Of course we're now wheeling the subject of appropriate authority instead of the topic.

Once again, your argument is not equivalent. Once again, you compare a good thing with potential risks to literal poison with absolutely no benefits.

With the Trump Administration in power, I wouldn't be surprised if he deports all gay Americans to the Sun.

I say try your breast to cover the feeding. Nothing that puts the mother out of her way.

When I'm flicking through this forum I keep reading 'Breastfeeding during a fight'. A strange image to get in my mind but mothers do protect their cubs when they're in danger.

The image I get is something like:-
