Its a matter of personal taste CM. What offends some people doesn't offend others, etc. I think the point of Neocon's posting was that we should be considerate for the feelings of others. I don't find any sexual connotations in breast feeding but I can certainly understand how some would reasonably find it offensive just as others would find farting, smoking, etc., offensive. And we all know nihil is full of crap when he says those things wouldn't bother him. There's no sense debating someone so childish they can't be honest about such a little thing. Personally, I love the smell of a good cigar but I know it ruins the meal for the rest of my family, so I don't light up. That's just common courtesy and that's why cretins like nihil have a hard time understanding the point. The world revolves around their selfish needs. Typical liberal quackism. But returning to the point, its comon courtesy, not sexual repression which is the point of Neo's post. That's something I think the world needs more of and I am the first to admit I should be in the forefront of those doing some changing. JLA

I do not think that JLA was making an equation, but an analogy. The essential characteristic is that these are things which disturb others that may easily be avoided, or at least mitigated, and we do not commonly tell people who object to lump it......
