Yeah, right.
There is nothing more natural than breast feeding a baby- which has to be done on the baby's schedule, not those around it. Cathy breast fed Paul in public down here when required, she didn't hide it, nor did she just flop it out in the open. Nothing was ever said...even though I was just waiting for someone to.
America is the only place I know where people will watch bomb blasts in Israel with very little emotional reaction, yet cause an uproar when an uncensored ass-crack appears in a TV show.
The more I come across this, the more it is pissing me off.

Re: What's with a breast?
When we first came to live in the US we were astonished to see victims from car crashes...alive or dead...on the TV news. Just think...a wife and kids eating breakfast...'oh look mummy, there's daddy's car and there's daddy lying in the road'. :scared:

Re: What's with a breast?
its at times like these when I'm reminded of one my favourite comedies... coupling.
Jeff: I think breast brains would be over-egging the woman pudding. Besides, you give breasts the power of independent thought and the next thing that happens they don't get on.
Jeff: You know what, there's something I've always wanted to say and, erm, now I feel that at long last I can. Breasts. Breasts, breasts, breasts, breasts, breasts!
from the episode called "The Girl with Two Breasts"

Not all Americans are prudes. I, myself, have no problem with seeing a woman breastfeed, or nude on a beach, however, I don't think she should be walking down a street in her birthday suit. And I don't think that I am alone in my way of thinking.

Re: What's with a breast?
What does breastfeeding a child in public have to do with saying America is the land of the free. Freedom does not mean you can flaunt the laws that you feel you don't want to obey.
I want to know how many tears are you spilling when you watch those bombs exploding. Or is hypocrisy only limited to the people of the US and not found in peoples of other countries.

In reality, Americans have no more or less freedom than Australians, Brits, Swedes or Spanish. You can drive a car, but you can't speed or be wreckless. You can have sex - just not in public. But you don't see the Aussies serving 'freedom fries'. You don't hear of the Brits going ON and ON and ON about how they lets you be who you wanna be. Constant chanting about how America doesn't restrict it's women, doesn't place restrictions on culture or art, etc.
And yet you DO censor women. Such a small number of topless/nude beaches compared to Europe incase someone - GASP! - glimpses a naked breast. Music is routinely censored, TV is heavily edited or banned, gambling is illegal, etc etc etc. You have no business 'marketing' America as the leader in a peaceful, loving and freedom worshipping world, when there are so many restrictions that you place on your own people.
A mother wanting to discretely breastfeed a child in the corner of a restaurant is so unthinkable to those two customers, who were no doubt a couple of uber-christians who chuckle at racist jokes and scowl at gays. Makes me sick. HYPOCRISY!

I don't know why people get there knickers in a twist over a pic of a boob, yet its ok to have a strip club down the road. Maybe if boobs were allowed to come out in public more often the obsession would be less. Imagine what the reaction would be to the old page 3 girls
Tits toast and the morning coffee......... it would be an outrage!

You know Im confused now because on the one hand you seem to espouse the virtues of living in the land of the free and how you can freely live off the slavery of others and then onm the other hand you spout on about how you despise the place. I think you're confused, slightly disturbed, and just a tad bit out of balance.
