why do people complain when private companies decide to implement changes to their way of doing business?
Obviously Facebook has the right to implement whatever policies they want, even if they're to appease those who think that breastfeeding is disgusting, and we have they right to complain and let them know we don't like it.

And Wal Mart and the mall = white trash?
wow
I don't believe that the article said anything about breastfeeding being disgusting... what it said from what I recall was that it was deemed to be against their TOS....If people like it or not is irrelevant they broke the rules knowingly or unknowingly and their pics got removed...
It falls back to the adage of their house, their rules.
Again, obviously Facebook has the right to do what they want with their website. Nobody here is suggesting otherwise. We're just saying we disagree with the policy.
What do the think the percentage is of decent guys to douche bags these days?
Yes, Wal Mart and the mall = white trash. I can feel my IQ plummeting every single time I step into those establishments.
Any how, this topic treads into my belief that most of the country should be sterilized before it gets much worse. That, however, is another thread entirely.
ICE BREAKER!?!?!?!?
It never ceases to amaze me that people find breastfeeding to be "controversial". Humans are animals, more specificly mammals. The difference between mammals and all other vertabrate animals is that we have a particularly benificial mutation, we feed our babies milk that we produce. This is benificial because it allows us to transfer crucial antibodies from mother to infant thus increasing there resistance to disease and bettering there chances for surviving sickness.It is not perverse or sexual. It is a natural , normal thing quite unlike feeding a child a chemical cocktail like "baby formula".
Everybody knows that babies like to put everything they get there hands on in there mouth , right? Well there is a really good reason for that. Babies take every germ they can from there enviroment, put it in there mouth and then drool the germs allover themselves (yeah , all you fathers out there know what I'm talking about). Its instinct for the mother to kiss her baby, which causes her to be exposed to those germs, which her body then develops antibodies for and she then delivers through her breast milk to the baby. Thats one of the reasons why mammals are social animals and why there are so many mammals on Earth today. Its a very effective way to ensure that offspring are resiliant to the bacteria , germs and viruses in there enviroment.
If a woman breastfeeding bothers you, you should grow up. If a woman wants to post pictures of herself breastfeeding online and it offends you, don't look. Breasts are "mammarae glands" and there purpose is to provide nutrition and a basic immune system to infants. The reason men like big boobs is that subconciously your brain recognizes that the can provide ample sustenance to your offspring. They do not exist solely so you can beat off to bignaturals's preview pictures. Jeesh , I thought intelligent sophisticated people read the [H].

O.K., I give up.
There is no such right to avoid seeing or hearing things in public you disagree with...
No one is inconvenienced by a....
He'll have an easier time understanding....
Why would you want keep him ignorant....
It didn't seem to do them any harm then....
Does your wife wear a burka and veil...
....the Amish or other antiquated religions?
....you don't offend communists or the poor?
You seem to know what is good for everyone and if not they are stupid, prudes, ignorant, communist or their religion is antiquated.
Nice.
You are completely right, there is nothing attractive/arousing/erotic about breasts.
Most men find a good looking woman's face attractive/arousing/erotic. So then should they wear veils?
That's a pretty dumb analogy, seriously.
Not dumb at all.
The reason certain parts of the Islamic world insist that women where burqas is because they find the face to be sexually provocative.
Insisting that women cover their breasts and not feed their children simply because you find them to be overtly sexual is just as intolerant, if not more.
Amazing how this thread has spiraled. Sexuality and breast feeding are two different animals. I already make it a point not to go into places such as Wal Mart and the mall, but if on the occassion I do have to enter these places I'd prefer not to see hordes of white trash with their titties flopping out and 6 kids sucking on them.
Hell, under the line of thinking in this thread, it should be perfectly acceptable for me to whip out my dong and take a leak at the food store. Hey, it's natural right?
You do realize that the reason they blocked the images was BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE COMPLAINING, right?Ding! There's the heart of it.why do people complain when private companies decide to implement changes to their way of doing business?

Not to be a dick but the point is that your agreement or disagreement is irrelevant; if it were a pay service then yes they would have a beef... but it is not.
There are many policies in this world I don't agree with, but they is what they is; I simply don't have to frequent the places that I don't agree with the policies of.

Yeah the "Islamic world" (which btw isn't accurate either) is the highlight of common sense and perfect for this analogy.
The only reason that some people find a woman's face overtly sexual or a woman breastfeeding disgusting is because they have been brainwashed into believing lies. I'm sure many women find a handsome man's face sexually attractive and even sight of a mans' well muscled s chest can turn them on so in all fairness of equality men should also wear burkas and cover their chest at all times. Right?

It is in fact a perfect comparison.
Judging by the tone of your post, you agree that the Islamic tradition of forcing women to wear burqas is unjust and intolerant. This tradition is justified by saying the face is to sexual to show in public.
You, just like these people, don't want women breastfeeding in public because you find it sexual. The only difference between your positions is that they choose to be intolerant of the face, and you choose to be intolerant of breasts.
I'm getting so god damn sick of the tyrannical majority in this nation always shiting a damn brick and getting up in arms whenever they see breast-feeding.
Facebook should've just told the people who were complaining to quit being gay and just learn to accept it.
That's what I don't get about Islamic culture; they're homophobic, yet at the same time they're gay, b/c they can't handle seeing "breasts".
The burqa's are an example of extreme behavior and have nothing to do whatsoever with this topic, get over it. I never said I find breast feeding sexual, but the fact remains that breasts are sexual and woman can't control how they're breasts are perceived when they flaunt them. But breastfeeding isn't flaunting you say? Just like anything, there is a right way and a wrong way to do things. Right way, be discrete since after all it's between you and your child. Wrong way, take pictures OF THE EXPOSED BREASTS and plaster them on a public website. Facebook stated there are many breastfeeding pictures that were perfectly fine as has already been stated many times in this thread. I was at a family function the other night where my sister in law breastfed her baby at a table in a room where lots of people moved in and out. The difference between her and facebook attention whore is that unless you directly looked at her for more then a second you had no idea she was doing it. She drew no attention to herself and was completely covered up. Taking the "no censorhip" and "breasts dont mean anything" posts to heart she should have whipped off her shirt and just let it all hang out because after all it's totally natural and beautiful and she shouldn't be censored when she breastfeeds and wants to show everybody she's doing it. Is the point clear now?
You are so completely missing the point.
Awww, I come back and we're at six pages already. That's okay; I think mutual agreement for the first two pages is still an [H] record, anyway.
I don't have time to catch up on the posts, but I'll say that I agree with Steve. The one question you should ask yourself when deciding whether or not to do something is: "will this hurt and/or offend others more than it will help me?" The actions of this lady on Facebook fail that test; she could have just as easily not posted the picture, avoided offending a lot of people, and her quality of life would not have been diminished in the least.
It seems to me like people nowadays like to cause controversy for the sake of causing controversy. "I don't think there's anything wrong with posting these pics of mother nature!" Yeah, well, some people do. And you know that. And you can get the same job done (feeding the baby) without offending them. Therefore, it would only be common (rare?) courtesy and respect for you to do so.
The "they're my rights; I'm keeping them!" attitude of modern America is really getting on my nerves.
As for your other point, please explain to me why you are eligible to survive the genocide you propose? I'd love a laugh.
Again I ask, has anyone seen the actual offending pictures?
We are not talking normal breast feeding pictures. We are talking about complete nudity in some or all of the pictures removed, tandem breast feeding pictures with an infant and a 5 year old attached....and so on. Is there a need to be completely naked to breast feed / demonstrate breast feeding?
I venture to say that most people are not offended by normal breast feeding done in a proper / tasteful manner. There is absolutely no need to be completely naked with an infant and a 3 - 5 year old kid hanging off your boobs on Facebook. There is no need to have BOTH breast exposed in public while feeding a single child.
As usual, it is a small set of people posting offensive pictures that screw it up for the normal people that aren't completely naked, showing bush or dual feeding 5 year olds while breast feeding. If you pull one set of breast feeding pictures, you pull all of them and I think that is what has happened here.
It would seem that my mistake was assuming the people commenting here had actually seen the pictures in question.
You do realize that the reason they blocked the images was BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE COMPLAINING, right?
And? People bitched to have removed. Why can't people bitch to have the censorship removed?
