Breastfeeding in public places

[CountDeMoney]

Crazy Canuck, I hope you and your entire family die in a fire. Screaming. If I was religious, I'd pray for that.

If you were religious you might be find personal improvement in a great many ways.  In fact the positions you take here often make me reconsider the potential positive value of religious teaching as the basis for moral and ethical thought.

He's got you there, Marti.  After all, you defend kiddierapists and babyhead fuckers.

My latest study is about formula.

I don't think Marty would be particularly different if he professed religion. Some of the superficial rhetoric would perhaps change, but the fundamental nature would remain unchanged I expect.

I would think that at the very least, he would've been taught during childhood that homosexuality is wrong.  Who knows how things could've changed in light of that?

Most homosexuals are taught that as children.

Even in Poland?

Even in Poland? 

Sure. They just have to have it repeated five times as often.

See the Romney bullying thread for the damaging effects this twat will cause her kid.

[merithyn]

I hate that they posed the pic like that. The kid is only three, not the five that he looks in it. Older than I'd be comfortable breastfeeding a kid, but not so old as to be akin to emotional abuse.

Of course, I do know a woman who breastfed her kids until they were going off to kindergarten. I found it... disturbing, but the kids are doing fine now. One will be going to Harvard in the fall. So whatever "emotional scarring" occurred didn't last.

That you know of.

[merithyn]

That you know of.

True. I can only gauge based on what I know of those kids in particular and what I know of kids in general. They seem like normal, accomplished kids at the moment. Could end up in therapy, but it seems unlikely that it will be because of the breastfeeding, especially since most kids really don't remember much before their 10th birthday.

I should point out that seeing a mother breastfeed a walking child makes me uncomfortable, but I don't believe that it necessarily damages the kid. Generally, it's the other stuff she does that causes the issues, like your friend and her son.

[garbon]

I think children would remember being breastfed once in kindergarten.

[garbon]

Also going to Harvard isn't indicative of a lack of emotional scarring.

Still influences and impacts his future relations with the opposite sex.

Look at Cal--breastfeeding was stopped too soon, and he hasn't been able to get massively obscene heifer fun-bags out of his fucking head since.  Just imagine what damage the opposite does.
