Ninja, if, as happened to me recently, a woman breast feeds her baby sitting not far from me in a cafe and I don't even notice it until told, where's the problem? As I've already stated, there wasn't even a hint of breast on view, even standing on my chair on a thick phone directory, looking down on her, I could not spy any breast tissue.
Even If I had been able to see a small portion of breast it would not bother me, newspapers and magazines are full of topless girls. It may sound strange to you but breasts are a part of our natural anatomy!

I'm more offended by men wearing vests showing tattooed chests and arms together with body piercings than a nice pair of rounded breasts!

I'm no prude by any means, but breast feeding in public in my opinion is very anti-social. Women who do this are showing very little consideration for those around them.

Captain, do not get me started.

Chewing with your mouth open is also natural, but it does not mean it is couth.

how did a thread about public toplessness become a discussion about public breast feeding? I mean i get the connection and all, the former doesn't necessarily mean the latter

There are lots of things America should allow. Being over here in Europe makes it painfully clear. I am so sad at what America has become.
The fact that this would even be questioned makes America look juvenile.

What is uncouth may mean different things to different people within our pluralistic society Ninja.
I don't particularly like girls wearing low-slung jeans and cropped tops exposing large amounts of stomach fat, but hey I'm not going to get all upset about it!
I've seen far more examples of women wearing low cut tops showing far more exposed breast than any mother quietly going about the task of naturally feeding her baby.

Personally, I don't like:
- seeing fat, naked tattooed and/or pireced bodies (male or female),
wearing skimpy clothing like shorts or vests.
- obese people walking the streets devouring sandwiches or burgers
- people having loud conversations on their mobile phones in public places
- people swearing in public
- people being generally rude and abusive

But the world does not comprise of just well-mannered, thoughtful, respectful people, it includes lots of people with other values and modes of behaviour.

LOL
Like I said I get the connection and all but Toplessness does not necessarily equate to breast feeding (although the opposite may be true)

I could not resist the quote.

It was just too pertinent.
