Now you wouldn't be insinuating that I personally am trying to force all breast-feeding women into bathrooms because somehow I am greatly disgusted by it... That would be taking my quote out of context wouldn't it...
I CLEARLY said in my first post, that I am not offended by it, nor can I understand why anyone would be, but they just are. In my perfect world, it wouldn't be an issue, but we live in a world with plenty of other people and they all have differing views and beliefs. Unlike you, I am trying to impress on people a bit of consideration for someone else. Something that is practically non-existant nowadays. We all have to share this world, and all have to get along. It is unfair to force all breast-feeding women into the toilets, and it is unfair to force people who are genuinely offended by it (i.e. NOT ME) to have to suffer it, or leave. Like with smoking, and everything else, it is give and take. People from both sides, should consider each other, and find some happy medium in the middle. If not a toilet, then a lobby, car park, or maybe just a few feet in some other direction. Yes it is an inconvience, but mothers aren't the only people in the world.
Just because you don't agree with what someone finds offensive, that doesn't mean you should enfore what you consider to be offensive, or unoffensive anyway.
I am not picking on you specifically (except for the unity bit), as it seems by the quotes, other people have misconstrued what I was truely trying to say. If anyone else thinks I am trying to make it seem like I personally want to force all breast-feeding women into toilets, then at least now, everyone should see that is not the case and I couldn't have made my true point any clearer. I don't want to force anyone to do anything, except consider everyone else. And that goes for everyone, not just breast-feeding mothers.
