Silly me...and I thought this was an open forum. I also thought I was the only one who used the term "ignorant". But the flowers sure do look nice in left field. :roll:

Oh, I see how why you're all panties in a wad about it. You made the "ignorant" comment. It's an easy term to throw around I suppose.
definition of ignorant is: lacking knowledge or information as to a particular subject or fact; uninformed, unaware, etc. Close minded is just a person who chooses not to see beyond their own perception.

heh, speaking of close-minded and ignorant...

You've surmised incorrectly that people who think it is uncomfortable don't know the topic of breastfeeding. You've assumed that 'the rules of life' state that if you know of a topic you should be in favor of it? News flash, that's not how it works. That's where one is free to make the decision they see fit for themselves, after gathering and knowing the facts of both sides involved. So the breastfeeding mom will choose to do it in public, as she see fit. The person walking in will feel uncomfortable and leave, as they see fit. They're both entitled to their observations and positions.

As I said, both sides are right. Everyone's position is right. The comments above hit the nail on the head that the position on topics will not be universal between countries, states, cities, neighborhood, even houses down the same block.

It's not your job to change my mind. Its not my job to change yours. Arguing about it is dumb as you're going to make the decisions you do. I'll make the decisions I do.

What else is there to discuss on this topic? I think we all agree to disagree, and that's ok. <--- Which was the conclusion of mine and Holiday's exchange, or did you fail to read it?

I was called a racist in a bookstore just because I was looking at a swastika in a Shaolin book and reading about its meaning. Before being perverted by the Nazis this symbol was used in Eastern cultures and had the meaning of life, God and also good luck. I wanted to palm strike his nose in for that.

I know, not really on topic but it is a good example of ignorance and how someone was offended by something I was looking at. Plus now you guys can cool down and focus your angry messages to me :mrgreen:

You evil evil party bastrix....may you burn in hell fire for all eternity, you miserable motherless swine..... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

There ya go, got it started for ya.

You are correct, the swastika is an old and revered symbol in Asian societies, its a religious symbol in both Buddhism and Hinduism, long before the party's adopted it. But at least they (The party's) had to curtousy of reversing it before they bastardized its true meaning.......sort of like the way Satanist turn the cross up side down.
