I agree. Just the idea of it seems to drive some crazy. The emotions behind it seem to be embarassment or repugnance. I wonder how many nursing women they have actually encountered? Women in swimsuits, halter tops and see through blouses show more bare breast than any nursing mother than I've ever seen. I don't understand how a nursing mother lowers the dignity of a courtroom. I cannot fathom comparing nursing a baby to defecating, masturbating, smoking a cigarette or any of the other things it's been compared to. Depending on the degree of the overeation I think it comes down to more or less two things. Lip pursing, sphincter tightening 'tis not decent' prudery. A deep seated fear and loathing of womens bodies in some men and internalized self loathing by some women rooted in the belief that womens bodies are icky and messy, oozing milk, expelling blood and stinking to high heaven with their fishy odors.

I waver back and forth between which produces the worse result: Unelected judges appointed for life, or elected judges who are voted in by the public, who has no idea about the court system or the individual candidate. quote: ORIGINAL: Real0ne quote: ORIGINAL: Iamsemisweet If I were the judge in the OP, I wouldn't count on getting an endorsement from his local Women Lawyer's chapter when it comes time for him to get reelected. as an aside did you ever notice that supreme court mobsters are not elected by the people? there should be one elected judge on the US supreme court representing each county in the nation for the commercial side and fucking statism should be completely abolished, common law supreme, and juries in chancery mandatory and nondemoninational ecclesiastical courts put back into place, because these commercial fuckers simply take jurisdiction regardless if it is legitimate or not. thatll fix their fucking clocks right!!!!

I truly have NO idea. I have some half thought-out ponderings but no-one has ever managed to so much as splutter out what it is that they find so repellant or why they feel that way. In reverse, people that have no such repugnance are perfectly happy to explain and expand on why they feel the way they do. It's quite a striking difference. You may well be correct in your summing up there and possibly that might explain why there's a reluctance to bare their thoughts. agirl

The problem is all governments end up being mob controlled because anyone who goes up against them gets dead or busted down to the shorts or jailed to keep them quiet. Look at any tax protestor who wrote a book about it in the US, they found and or CREATED a way to put them away. The only way to avoid that is to have a system that these assholes can be fired on the spot and and re-elected to do what we the people want, not we the People want to push on our asses.

Just as soon as you show me the "right" that is invoked when people sanitize the TV broadcasts and radio airwaves due to their own sensibilities. If they can sanitize things that I watch because of their beliefs, I can demand not to see someone breastfeeding in inappropriate places.

Don't come at me with lame-ass sexual harassment bullshit. We're not talking about in the work place here. We're talking about two strangers in public. And if she's in public and I'm in public, I can look or stare at whatever I want. Don't want to be stared at? Don't do it in public.

quote: ORIGINAL: agirl I'm nothing like as clued up as you are and know very little about the USA political system. I admit that there are many times, over the years, that I've been glad that I happen to live here. I am not aware of all of my rights, because I've never had to be. When I need to be, we have this nifty place called the Citizen's Advice Bureau. It's a free service and they are amazingly helpful. They will write letters on your behalf and follow-up your case. It's an invaluable service that anyone can use. I think perhaps our system is more readily available in a comprehensive way as we are a small island and a bit more cohesive. I thought it was quite interesting that the Senior Judge said that it wasn't a story and that the information age was to blame. I could be wrong, but it sparked the thought that what he really meant was that it was annoying that it was no longer quite as easy to be impolite to people in court....lol agirl there used to be a gal who posted here from the uk who worked in legal. your laws are much like ours now days. If they statized the common law then that means they created a system to circumvent it as they did here and you now come under contract, but it will only be recognised if they control the contract. The second they figure out you are on to them they start to "construe". There is no difference between subject and citizen. Both are subjects of a "sovereign", but at least you know whos head to chop off we have none. [image]http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o296/nine_one_one/blacks%202/subjecttoemphasis-1.jpg[/image]

I'm sure it's not and it would be a pity in their case. I'm well aware that some people are meek and rather shy and faced with rude and obnoxious people WOULD be upset by it. This will give you the upperhand and I'm sure that it would please you to have your silly bullying tactics work so well. The difference is that a lady quietly nursing has not set out to deliberately offend you. YOU, on the otherhand would have. I'm afraid that you have been silly throughout this thread. agirl

I'm glad that children are not allowed in the courtrooms where I live. And the courts seem to be more civilized as well, compared to descriptions of others. There is no chaos, there is no commotion, nothing of the sort. But then we would be arguing appropriateness of children in the courtroom, instead of appropriateness of the woman's actions and the judge's actions. Cali

I believe I already have. However you, as well as others, have selective reading and only read the bits you want to reply to. Many "new moms" today believe the world should bend for them. Be it by way of welfare, or things like dragging their spawn to a movie where it can disrupt it for all the other moviegoers or dragging it to a restaurant where 90% of the people are just looking for a quiet meal and instead have to watch a kid throw a fit because the mother won't do anything about it. It all starts with breastfeeding at inappropriate times. If they are willing to "whip it out" without regard to others and their sensibilities, then they are automatically willing to drag it to a movie or a restaurant and ruin countless other people's nights. Do you think it's healthy for the kid to be toted around like a handbag everywhere?

No. But it's like the stats for car wrecks between men and women. The stats are inherently flawed because they don't take into consideration the wrecks the careless women drivers cause, but are not involved in. Same thing here. They whip it out without regard for others. It's that lack of consideration towards others that offends me.

Someone is whipping out boobs? WHERE?
