Grow up, people. Especially out there in Kansas!

 

[Mwsinron]

People look for anything to bitch about.

 

[BunsGettingFirm]

Mirrors must be in short supply in Kanasas. Apparently, the woman who was shocked and disgusted never sees her own breasts in the mirror everyday in the bathroom.

Americans are always shocked and disgusted by anything having to do with sex (Heck, this is feeding a baby. It's not even sex!), or at least that's what they claim in public. Judging by the pornucopia of adult channels on offer on cable, however, I'd say most "upstanding" Americans are just full of crap.

 

[bow-tie]

Frankly, I'm appalled that the picture only shows one of them.  It's blantant discrimation toward the other one that isn't being used at that point in time, since it is no less worthy of a cover shot.

 

[73ss454]

I was thinking the same thing. A frontal shot would be much better.

 

[lazygood4nothinbum]

i completely understand her being offended, shocked and disgusted. what the hell is that anyway? good god, i hope i never see one of those on one of my boyfriends.

 

[unclemick]

Hmmmm - my first thought:

Lucky kid!

heh heh heh heh heh

 

[Mwsinron]

boobies

 

[Cut-Throat]

"I was SHOCKED to see a giant breast on the cover of your magazine," one woman from Kansas wrote in reaction to the picture in Babytalk, a free magazine that caters to young mothers. "I was offended and it made my husband very uncomfortable when I left the magazine on the coffee table."

Actually I was more shocked to see the baby! - It would have been a much better shot without the infant disrupting the view.

got milk?

 

[laurence]

yep, the word of the day is 'hypocrisy'. Along the line of Dads who don't want sex education in school yet subscribe to Playboy, Rush saying every druggie deserves jail time and goes to the victim of disease card when he gets caught, all the house members who had to resign from their post after decrying Clinton for immorality and being discovered to have done the same thing. Pro-life pro death penalty advocates and vice versa. Maybe my grandkids will inherit a more sane world.

 

[cube_rat]

OH.MY.GOD.

A BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOB!!!

Hide the children and the womenfolk!

 

[SilentSwirl]

It's not even sex!

Yes it is...it's about her husband's discomfort which is obviously a form of sexual repression.

"I was offended and it made my husband very uncomfortable when I left the magazine on the coffee table."

 

[sgeeeee]

. . . I'd say most "upstanding" Americans are just full of crap.

This could serve as the summary of a great many of our threads.

didn't mind the baby but where was its milk mustache? looked like the baby got attached to an ample supply.

 

[Yipee-Ki-O]

I'm rather envious of the kid.

 

[Nords]

I'm rather envious of the kid.

Well, I've been waiting for Al's beaver, but now I just can't hold back any longer:

How can you tell which part of whose anatomy that kid has its lips kissing up to?

 

[TromboneAl]

[Scrooge]

"Gross, I am sick of seeing a baby attached to a boob," the mother of a four-month-old said.

And after 4 months of breast-feeding, you would be too!

 

[Donzo]

Whos got the cookies?

I don't see any hypocrisy in being anti abortion and pro death penalty.
I figure if G_D things that a fetus is worthy of life we probably shouldn't interfere with that process

AND

if somebody decides to kidnap, rape and murder a little girl he probably doesn't deserve to share oxygen with the rest of us

That being said, you have to be a moron to be offended by a child breastfeeding

 

[Lazarus]

If they are "horrified", by a breast they must not have the internet in Kansas.

 

[astromeria]

Apparently Hitler, Stalin, and your neighborhood thug were also worthy of life.
Should we interfere with antibiotics, stents, or CPR if you get sick?
Should we allow a person to decline life-saving medical care?
What does G_D want--and who is allowed to interpret that?

 

[Gone4Good]

Apparently Hitler, Stalin, and your neighborhood thug were also worthy of life.

No, but we only know after the fact and only then can we correct the mistake.

Should we interfere with antibiotics, stents, or CPR if you get sick?

No

Should we allow a person to decline life-saving medical care?

Yes.  Not sure why we need to force someone to have expensive medical care if they don't want it (assuming they are fully competent to make that decision).

What does G_D want--and who is allowed to interpret that?

No clue

 

[saluki9]

What does G_D want--and who is allowed to interpret that?

Not 100% sure, but I'd guess that killing children before they are born probably isn't something he's in favor of

Just a hunch
