Are you kidding me?  People really have to debate this issue?!?  Breastfeeding is a natural, beautiful thing and I understand that some people may not feel that way, but I would think that they would understand that a baby being fed is more important than their "uncomfortableness".  If something were making me uncomfortable, I would just look away.  No one says you have to stare.  I would think THAT would make the mother uncomfortable.  I see ALOT worse things done in public than feeding a hungry baby.  Breastfeeding is not always an easy choice, but it is healthiest for a baby and if a woman chooses to breastfeed, I think we should all just be supportive and mind our business. The real issue is that breasts are too often viewed as "sex symbols" and not what they are really meant for; a natural "bottle" to feed a baby.

No way!  I think it should be up to a parent if they choose to supply their child with condoms.  That is NOT a decision for anyone else to make and not something to be given out in public school!  I'm ok with them teaching sex ed and showing kids how to use them IF they are going to, but giving them out in school will just lead to more sex in school bathrooms and other parts of school grounds.  IF my child comes to me asking about sex, I would like to think that I would be able to make the decision on whether or not to buy him or her comdoms. 

While I would fully expect someone to come and tell me if my child were hitting or kicking them, I would like to think that I would be watching them closely enough to where I would notice that.  What kind of a parent lets their kid run completely away from them in a store?  A parent should always have their younger children in eye contact.  How else do you make sure they aren't getting kidnapped?  But if for some reason my child is doing something that someone else doesn't agree with and it is not hurting anyone or anthing, I would greatly appreciate it if they would mind their own business.  But if they feel they need to say something-please-say it to me, not my child.  Now, when it comes to any child's safety, I would be really upset if someone didn't say something to my child if they noticed them running out into the road before I did.  I know that people don't mean anything by it, but everybody hates that person who fusses at your child for doing something you thought was perfectly harmless.  I think it is common courtesy to say something to the parent-not the child.
