Aw. I was hoping this would be a train wreck of a debate thread for me to gawk at. ☹ ---

I would have said ‘skydiving’. But that’s pretty good, too. ---

I opened this thread with loins girded to get all outraged and shit. Nothing but a pig hogging the road, and go her. 😃 ---

I am usually quite a vocal advocate of a mother’s right to breastfeed in public. But I have to say, if you’re nursing in the middle of the road and impeding traffic, that ain’t right. ---

I just hate when my potential burning outrage is suddenly supplanted by giggling. 😃 ---
