Quote I personally don't understand why someone feels compelled to post breastfeeding photos on Facebook to begin with, unless it was part of some sort of breastfeeding instruction manual to help other new mothers out. Thus, there would be a net benefit to the baby.
funny you should say this because a friend of mine posted (to try out the FB policies) some pictures which are used by a dutch breastfeeding group as instruction for pregnant women... they were -off course- removed
I can see there are not many breastfeeding mothers around here:-)
You are all missing the point these women are trying to make.
Facebook is telling them that something they do everyday and which is as normal as breathing to them, is obsceen. They are labelling it as indecent putting the loving act of feeding their baby in the same category as porn or violence. That hurts.
Especialy because it concerns their children. It makes them feel degraded. And that makes them angry.
And in case you haven't noticed. FB has not only banned public pictures, they have also removed photo's that were labeled private and only visible to friends. So it has nothing to do with this being public and everything with an overzealous censor at FB.
mmmmmm I already did that; he's 26-years old and also known as 'boyfriend'. I must say, they don't cost much these geeks and they do come with extra features - though I don't know if that also goes for a KDE geek;-)

Untill I have experienced it personally I won't believe in alien abuctions, god, or the loch ness monster. However, this does not mean I reject the notion of one of the above existing or having ever existed! I - or anyone else - cant prove it to be false nor prove its true.
If you do not leave your mind open for doubt or uncertainty you can never make new discoveries. Remember - there have been many things in history that were thought to be common knowledge that were proved wrong (earth being flat and all that) So to write off people who believe in the things as afore mentioned, as just lunatics is short-sighted. Maybe they are right, pure chance-math says the probabilities of other higher life forms in this universe are high. I don't know - so I don't presume to know.
'Flying Saucers' were NEVER seen until one report back in the 60s got quite widespread. Then everyone reported seeing them everywhere.
Even worse, Alien abductions follow the same line. It NEVER happens to ANYONE in thousands of years... One day someone reports it happening. Then it suddenly happens to EVERYONE
Dear Evilpiper, your own reasoning isn't very logicall either, it is, as they call it, moronic thinking (and I don't mean your the moron - it's just a expresion for this kind of reasoning) Just because it never happened before does not mean that it is not true. I'm not a UFO-believer myself but you can't dismiss it with these arguments. Before the car was invented no-one had ever seen a car, it does exist though...

Every time I see Bush an Poetin be big buddies on TV it reminds me of the part where the main charater in Orwell is asking himself whether he is the only one that remembers that enemy #1 was an allie just last year and vice versa, because the department of war is saying that they have ALWAYS been at war with enemy #1.
Or am I just being an oversensitive European with this:-)
May I remind the people that are so suprised that someone would do that for money of the (I think) 50's experiment where they made people 'electrocute' others.
Test subjects thought they were testing others with a stress test, when infact they were themselfs being tested to see how far they would go inflicting pain on others. Most of them went to the point where they electrocuted people at a voltage that would be deadly in real life. The person that they thought they were electrocuting screamed and pleaded (these were hired actors) and in the end fell silent... they still turned up the voltage.
These were ordinary people. It was not just one who did it either. They tried this with numerous people and only a few refused to go on when they heard the screaming.
More then 90 percent of the people (also on slashdot) would inflict harm on another human being- just because someone asked.

So you compare a drinking baby to having a shit... nice imagery please let me express this is NOT the way all Europeans think !

I fail to understand people's logic.
