kyleb in this instance your wife is better at internet argument than you are

LOL at all of this. I just don't even get why you all care so much. I know why I care, because it's kind of what I do all day, but why do most of you even have an opinion?

My h&f threads have nothing at all to do with your stupid ****ing **** wife derailing this thread with her ******ed breastfeeding ****. Real mature of you though. I'm sure your kid will be proud of you one day for your mad posting skills.

You should talk.

Really though, I don't know what the point of linking to those threads was. My problem was the derailing of this thread into an argument about breastfeeding, not taking a side in that argument.

The threads I or anyone else make are a couple of clicks away for anyone who cares to see them, all Kyle posting them here is accomplishing is letting people know that if you seek advice for a problem in a serious forum, it will be used against you when someone disagrees with you in oot.

Personally I don't give a **** what any of you people think about me. If I did I wouldn't have so many details about my life in a forum I'm not anonymous in.

someone is mad

lol

Can a member of the husband wife tag team explain under what circumstances it would be necessary to both a) be forced to breastfeed your child in public and b) not want to cover yourself up?

I ask because I've never seen a woman doing this, ever. And yes, I do think it would be impolite.

a) is a strawman so I'll ignore it.

Regarding b) - are you legally obligated to do this? If not, then why do it?

You're not legally obligated to do many things - hold the door for old women, tip at restaurants, or act cordially in general to others in public. I'd still say that people who don't do these things are generally douchebags.

I imagine that pongo has breast fed in public. I'm legitimately curious as to where this has happened and why it would be impossible to do it privately.

Courtesy I would imagine.

Also, Tony don't worry about those links. I didn't read them and I doubt anyone else clicked on them. Kyleb linking all that as some kind of attack on you for being mean to his wife is really ****ing lame and childish.

LOL U R FAT U CANT HAZ OPINION ON BREASTFEED DERAILZ LOL

I'm not sure how this is a "douchebag" move and comparable to holding the door for old women. Your "impossibility" question is a strawman, as I said before, so I won't respond.

I understand that many of you think that this is "impolite", though. But I don't particularly care that you think this, because I think your opinion is ******ed and based on insecurity. And you probably don't care what I think. So it's a circular thing that ends up with you thinking that it's impolite and no one who feeds their kids in public caring what you think. But feel free to continue to be mad/unappreciative/unhappy about it if it makes you feel vindicated or morally superior.

Unlike my wife, I don't actually give a **** what people like Tony_P say. You're free to dislike my actions; I do not feel the need to justify them to you.

prohornblower:

Again, you are free to think it is discourteous. I disagree, and moreover, I don't care what you think. So feel free to be mad. My wife cares about your opinion for some reason, but I don't.

Yeah you obviously don't care. I already said it doesn't bother me but when your wife comes in and says stuff like "Why should I care?" it looks rude.

She "shouldn't" care per se but others might think she's discourteous. But she doesn't care what they think. So when you don't care what other people think you get to conduct yourself however you want apparently.

Some people were born with the misfortune of giving pause to other people. SUCKS TO BE THEM

Kyle,

I don't think it's comparable. However, just because something isn't illegal doesn't mean you should do it.

I don't mean to offend you or your wife in any way. I've never seen a woman breastfeeding in public and I'm unsure how I'd react if I did. I'd definitely think it was unusual and strange that she didnt go to the car or the bathroom or something to do it.

I actually am legit curious as to where/why breastfeeding is done in public. I'm not a master troll and only partially understand this strawman nonsense - but you should understand the basic gist of my question.

kyleb I used to support your position but now I think I will have to be enemies with your position

Yes, I agree. She is stupid for giving two ****s about what the average idiot (or 2p2er) on the street thinks. If "you mad" because of something that is both legal and not discourteous in my mind, then that's a bonus IMO.

The fact that she cares about whether or not people agree with her is absolutely a trollable trait, and I totally endorse you guys trolling her for that. But I couldn't pass up an opportunity to post about Tony_P's failures when he was acting all high and mighty.

I will answer this question (as best I can), since it's a legitimate one.

She breastfeeds in public for whatever high and mighty reasons she believes, I think. I think she thinks it's natural and whatever other horse**** garbage hippies believe.

That being said, if I were in her shoes, I would justify it by saying: "It's legal and I am too lazy to make bottles to take with me wherever I go. Also if it makes you uncomfortable then I am doing it for that reason too."

I don't know you at all, I don't know if you're a douchebag, and I don't have a dog in this fight, but fwiw 'this is fine with me, and I don't care what other people think or if they're uncomfortable, so I'm going to go ahead and do it, and if they disagree their opinion must be based on ******ation or insecurity' could almost be a definition of a douchebag attitude.

Oh, I'm absolutely a jerk / ******* / douchebag / inconsiderate ****. Sorry if you didn't know that. Thanks for trying to be nice about it though.

I was just saying I have no idea how breastfeeding in public is equivalent to not holding a door for an old woman.

Kyle,

Thanks for answering. I think your wife would be better off using your justification. She probably has some inner joy that she is shocking or making others uncomfortable and would go off on a haughty mothers rights rant or something if confronted. I guess the level of shock would also depend on where in public you are too.

Only in that many consider it a common courtesy, but the similarity stops there.

I think the reason most women don't do it is that they know it makes other people uncomfortable, and the convenience isn't worth either the bad feeling they get from that (if they get one) or dealing with whatever **** the more uptight or forward people will give them about it.
Again, I don't know either of you, but based on this thread it sounds like in your case you genuinely enjoy the discomfort it gives other people and don't care when people complain, and in Pongo's case it sounds like she just really enjoys getting on the soap-box and doing her 'it's natural' speech when people complain, so enjoys the discomfort other people get because it means she gets to think about doing that. Both are pretty uncool attitudes, imo, but neither of you care about my opinion or are going to be talked out of it so we should all just forget about it and quit with the derail.

you guys ****ing suck. go away. this is somehow less intelligent than the first time you tarded up this awesome thread.

kyle, posting those links is clearly a tilty and malicious thing to do and youre a dick for doing it (obv you dont care, lucky you!). the threads are in no way related.

more ghetto black girls' status updates please.

If someone is breastfeeding in public, is complementing them on their breasts fair game?

Interested in pongo reply
