Topic : 10/07 The Latest Debates

You do understand that I was asked to come to the Dr. Phil show so that he would have a show for you to watch, correct? So, I would think twice before you question my intelligence. 

No, I never go to the beach. Ever. Thanks for asking. Feeding your child is not appropriate anywhere. Not in everyones opinion. I think that point just flew right past you. But you all seem to think it is your RIGHT to impose yourselves on other people. Well, other people don't think you do. Is that simple enough for you?  

I am giving this one more shot because I am stunned at the lack of comprehension from people who consider themselves SO intelligent.  

Not everybody holds your point of view. You cannot force it on them- they are not required to think like you, just like you are not required to like everything they do (smoking, foul language, loud music around your child). But this does not mean you have the right to impose yourself on everybody else around you, the same way you wouldn't want anyone else imposing themselves upon you. Does that make ANY sense at all? Did that pentrate the brick wall? 

Well, it's time for me to get off this merry-go-round.  Time for me and my family to get on with the week "To Do List" - a baby shower, shopping for birthday gifts, school, getting some California sun and decorating our home for fall.  Light those pumpkin candles!!!   

It was insightful reading everyone's opinions and learning about everyone's different needs.  Maybe this program and debate will help make our world more aware of  everyone's needs and try to work together.  Thanks.  Bye. 

Personally I don't know what to make of that. Oh well. I believe the statement was made to say that not having the experience to fully understand the difficulties and issues faced by breast feeding mothers and all mothers makes many statements not make sense to a mother, and even seem silly in real life situations. The time and energy it takes to breast feed a baby full time is a huge commitment of time and energy. For the first several weeks, even months, mothers are feeding their children every few hours around the clock. For those who's baby wouldn't take a bottle or pumping isn't practical there is no break or reprieve from the constant state of exhaustion. But these mothers don't do this for glory or money, they do it for their babies. No, not all moms are great, but when you have a pregnancy, give birth to a child, and care for that child to the best of your abilities, you are absolutely a mother. 

Are you still online? Don't you have children to care for? You really are just here to fight, like I said.  

We all understood what she meant. You don't have to have children to actually know how to care for them, or have an education, or even an opinion. That is a totally ridiculous statement. Even having kids is no guarantee...... 

Well, here's the thing; i don't watch TV so it doesn't much matter what show he made for me to watch... Are you saying that just because you were asked to be on the Dr. Phil show you have to have intelligence? WRONG! You need an opposing opinion and you need to be somewhat well-spoken... 

You said AND I QUOTE: "Feeding your child is not appropriate anywhere."  

That statement was proof of your intelligence, I suppose? 

Can't feed them anywhere, huh? At home I suppose you could be walking by and happen to see someone sitting on the couch feeding her child... Heaven forbid...
