Heck yeah I check other women out. I think it’s pretty natural to do so. It’s definitely not out of comparison; it’s more of an appreciation. If a woman takes care of herself and has a nice body it should be appreciated. The women that I don’t like are the ones who wear as little as possible and then expect to turn heads. Well, duh, people are going to look.
Some women are just blessed with great bodies and some women (like myself) have to work hard at it. People are people; we all come in different shapes and sizes. Just because they may not be under a certain size does not mean they’re not beautiful. But, I don’t spend all my time looking at the women. I’d much rather stare this. :wink:
=P~

Ok, I’ll just call a spade a spade here. The magazine published the picture n the cover to grasp the people’s attention in order to sell the magazine in order to make the profit. I highly doubt the editors where thinking “what a beautiful picture of a mother giving nourishment to her child”. I’m not at all saying that I disagree with these types of pictures of breastfeeding, but I don’t think it has to be on the front cover and exploited for profit. Just as women have the right to nurse in public, individuals also have the right to disagree with it and maybe it shouldn’t be thrown in their face. I’m an adult and the picture does not offend me in the least. But, some parents don’t want their children seeing that image and that should also be respected. Therefore I think the picture should have been placed on the inside of the magazine. I highly agree with breastfeeding. It’s the best form of nutrition you can give your child. I do think that discretion is key though. Women were blessed with breasts to feed their offspring. But when not used for their main purpose, breasts are used for sexual arousal. Some people just can’t separate the two points. Breastfeeding is also an intimate bonding time with your child, which is why I think just tossing a nursery blanket over feeding time is appropriate.
AW I also dont want to walk into my local newsagents every day and see the Daily Sport, with gross images, and they ARE gross, of women with everything spread so wide you can see what they had for breakfast. No not everyone wants to see a picture of a woman breasfeeding her child on a magazine, but in all honesty, which is the worse of the two? As for children seeing that image.. I have no problem atall with either of my children seeing a picture of a mother breastfeeding her child. Thats how mine were fed… if your going to start saying cover it up, it makes it into something dirty, to be ashamed of, and it,s not. FFS someone please tell me, I did ask before, what century are we living in, when a photo of a mother breastfeeding her child is deemed offensive? I despair at this world sometimes I really do.
I don’t know the Daily Sport but we have Porno magazines and I agree with you. I don’t want to see that either and haven’t (well, I did find my husbands high school stash that he refuses to give up :roll: ). They are sold on the top shelf (out of children’s eyes and reach) and usually have a black plastic cover over it so you don’t see anything. But like I said, Breastfeeding does not offend me. I was raised the same way you were – Breastfeeding was very natural. But I don’t think covering it up makes it dirty, it just respects the people around that are not used to it. Trust me, just because a woman is covered does not mean it’s shameful – People know what’s going on under that blanket. To me, all that shows is a lady discreetly and personally feeding her child. I don’t think there is anything wrong with that.

My husband and his friends built a Cinema in our basement about 2 years. It’s cool having a big screen to watch movies on just down the stairs, but I miss going to the theater. Last movie I saw in a theater was Kill Bill II. How Pathetic is that? I think maybe my husband watched too many episodes of MTV’s CRIBS – :lol: :lol:

I received this in my e-mail today. What do you think of the sentiments it expresses?
I don’t know if the war in Iraq is right or wrong, only God knows that. And I try not to be judgmental about other folks. But I love this lady and what she says and I want everyone to know that. The lady who wrote this letter is Pam Foster of Pamela Foster & Associates in Atlanta. She’s been in business since 1980 doing interior design and home planning. She recently wrote the following letter to a family member serving in Iraq. Check it out!
WHAT’S ALL THE FUSS?
“Are we fighting a war on terror or aren’t we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11,2001
Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from our nation’s capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania? Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn’t they?And I’m supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was “desecrated” when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet? Well, I don’t. I don’t care at all.
I’ll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for ncinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.
I’ll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia.
I’ll care when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi tells the world he is sorry for hacking off Nick Berg’s head while Berg screamed through his gurgling, slashed throat.
I’ll care when the cowardly so-called “insurgents” in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.
I’ll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.
When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank that I don’t care.
When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed “special” food that is paid for by my tax contribution, is complaining that his holy book is being “mishandled,” you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts that I don’t care.
And oh, by the way, I’ve noticed that sometimes it’s spelled “Koran” and other times “Quran.” Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and —- you got it, I DON’T CARE!
If you agree with this view point, pass this on to all your e-mail friends. Sooner or later, it’ll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behaviour! If you don’t agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don’t complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our this country. !

now as far as her views are concerned in some ways i feel it is typical american attitude ‘they are always right’
:-k Sorry Huni – There really is nothing “typical” about me. [-X
Now don’t try to argue because you know I’m right. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :roll:@pikey wrote:

AW I meant to ask you, have your neighbours moved that bloody great RV yet? It,s about time.
Hell no the bastards haven’t moved it! Thank goodness the camping season is about to end soon. It’s not as if they ever went anywhere in the dang thing anyway. :evil: I’m still contemplating paying some teenagers to egg the sh*t of the thing. :lol: :lol:
