    So i was in Dublin last weekend gone and was with 2 mates coming out of Easons and in front of me passed a woman breast feeding her child as she walked out in public, was it wrong of me to be totally disgusted by this? Like come on isnt this why they invented baby bottles with the teet shaped like a nipple?? For Example i believe there is a time and a place for everything and this is not the first time, ive seen it happen in fast food places Nationwide and other places and people have just moved away from the person breast feeding as it put them off their food.

    What is your view on this? Do you agree or not that there is a time and a place for this?

    Seems like a pretty natural and ordinary thing to do.

    You possibly have some deep rooted breast related issues...

    So... let me see then you're disgusted by breastfeeding... right. I just can't seem to focus on one particular way to insult you. I really hope other people aren’t so ridiculous. See I was nice in the end (but inside I think you’re a complete sack).

    You are on to something there. Totally natural to breastfeed, would you prefer women to be flat and hairy chested ;)

    the question is OP, if she was just walking along with her tits out and she didn't have a kid hanging off them, would you still be disgusted?

    Not if she was attractive.


    Hot chicks should be permitted to breastfeed in public. I would be willing to be part of the 'Breastfeeding Inspectors' to ensure that only attractive women
    were breastfeeding in public, and issuing tickets/on the spot fines to unattractive offenders.

    No matter how hot the woman is, if her nipple has a baby's mouth around it and her breasts aren't at their perkiest (which is generally the case after pregnancy) it will disgust some people - females included.
    Many would argue that since breastfeeding is perfectly natural, why should it only be done in private? And if the baby needs a feed, the baby needs a feed. Why should the mother have to go to the trouble of finding a private spot in this situation? Plus, breast milk is found to be better for the baby than formula, so a mother has every right to choose breast-feeding over bottle-feeding. Sure, she can express milk into a bottle, but what if she runs out?

    what is this obsession with having babies anyhow? It's not natural.

    Stay out of Dublin then. We don't want any more narrow-minded rednecks here. Y'all have a nice day now! And leave those sheep alone - now that's disgusting. :eek:

    Not your ornery onager

    True, but faecal matter on the street is littering, which is something that breast-feeding doesn't lead to - unless she gives her nipple a wipe afterwards and drops the tissue/wipe on the ground.

    Maybe if you bought real books instead of the tripe they sell in Easons you would have a more open mind.

    I recommend Waterstones, but I did see someone pick their nose there once so it might not be to your liking.

    What on earth are you blathering about?

    Easons don't have any books of merit? Easons and Waterstones do not crossover and sell any of the same books?

    Actually I've heard that it's legal to sh1t in public because in the eyes of the law it is something you don't have control over, and if a policeman stumbles upon you, he is required to give you his hat (to sh1t in).

    Now while it sounds highly implausible to me too, but the person who told me was insistent that this law (albeit, old law) exists.

    That old law exists in England, it has never existed here.

    Op breastfeeding is the most natural thing in the world. How can you possibly find it offensive?
    Do you eat in public?

    Not a bad theory though. :) He sounds like a humorous young man.

    Even better, I can't wait till I am in England next so I can take an unmerciful dump outside Buckingham Palace.

    Eh... you do realise that it's entirely possible to choose when you go for a sh*t?

    The OP probably wasn't breast fed as a child, but others don't appear to have been toilet trained.

    So ..hang on, as women ..If you have a child you're encouraged, put under pressure even to breastfeed.
    Sometimes you're even looked down on if you don't, and you have A PROBLEM with seeing it in public?

    You seriously have little to worry about op.

    think that law is about pregnant women, a police officer has to give them there hat to pee in, and that law is still official in England.

    It isnt' entirly possible to choose when to breast feed, either the child cries as it is hungry which will trigger the let down response in the breasts which will start leaking or the breast get over full and sore and start leaking anyway.
