Civics 101 Guidelines

Want to argue about politics? Healthcare reform? Taxes? Governments? You've come to the right place!

Try to keep it civil though. The rules still apply here.

This. THIS is why we didn't want women in politics.

    Here is a PRO TIP: Get to the point where you can contribute a two line post without shooting yourself in the foot before engaging others in a debate forum.

      At this rate "Mad Gerbil" will be too soft a nickname. Am considering promotion to "Chuck Gerbil".

        Two married people kissing is natural, approved by God, and something all married couples do.

        And yet you'd have a problem with it.
        You'd argue that the kissing isn't the problem, but the context - which is exactly what I'm doing.

        You know exactly the point I'm making here.

        The rebuttal of 'it is natural' isn't a rebuttal at all.
        The rebuttal of 'you are weird' also isn't a rebuttal at all.

        Got anything else?
        Still not comparable.

        And I never said anything about it being okay because it is natural.

        And weird is not intended as a rebuttal, but an opinion of your opinion.

          Both are:
          1: Natural
          2: Ordained by God
          3: Private interaction between two people.

          I've established at least 3 reasons why they're comparable.
          Your substantive ways that they're not comparable would be?

          PRO TIP: Before you type the answer ask yourself this question: "Is the resultant beat down worth this?"(1)

          1: Just having fun here, don't take this seriously.
          Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101

                Bad choice of words, I didn't mean to imply that you abhor breast feeding in itself, but for some reason having to observe it disgusts you as implied in the O.P. Avert your eyes if its icky to you!

                  How am I supposed to avert my eyes if politeness calls for me to look at the person I'm addressing?
                  That is why the work environment is a problem - I have to work here too.

                  In public, like I said, you can mate right there in the mall fountain for all I care because I just won't go to a mall that allows that behavior.
                  In public I have a choice - in a work environment a compromise is in order.

                      What do you need a compromise for, whats the problem you are having? What exactly about the act of breast feeding is it that offends you?

                        I wouldn't want to attend a meeting in a professional environment where none of the men were wearing shirts.
                        I'm not the least offended by bare chested men.

                        It is being appropriate for the environment - in both how one acts and how one dresses.

                        I've already stated I don't care if a woman breast feeds in public so that should clue you in that my problem isn't with breast feeding.

                        I'm sorry, I don't know how to be any more clear.

I don't get the "but I'm a liberated woman" nonsense that seems to be a part of it so often (and far more the reason than baby needs feeding, imo). I don't get why people are offended by breastfeeding, and I don't get why people feel the need to berate others for breastfeeding.

                            Nothing about this makes much sense, and it seems like it comes down to people wanting to what they want without complete disregard to everyone else.

                              Chiming in For those of you who've been in a hang out with me y'all know I've nursed a baby. Did anything show? Nope. Covered with a blanket neatly. deal with it. Eventually I transitioned to a bottle for other reasons. but I can't help it if this society is so sexualized they can't handle a baby eating. That's what boobs were designed for. Not for men's pleasure. Suck it up.
