Gemstone, that is so freaking stupid--your sister breastfed, but had her breasts covered up (if I'm understanding right), and she got fined for indecency? That makes no sense. You not only need to be covered up in this country, but covered up the right way! Sheesh!

I agree, I don't think Jesus would have been offended by breastfeeding and nudity the way we are in the US. I will avoid the full discussion I could go into regarding religion on this issue, but as far as the suggestion about going to the Spirituality forum to debate whatever was to be debated, that forum doesn't allow for debating.

I'm not offended by Rhapsody saying, "WWJD" is her philosophy...because she said it's her philosophy, rather than simply asking, "WWJD?" as if everyone should follow it. Thank you for that, Rhapsody.

I was reminded of David Duchovny on the Tonight Show last night in reading this thread. His wife, Tea Leoni, when she was on, spoke of some amusing innocently sexual comments and events of her children, and then David just last night mentioned another. I thought it was funny, but it still made me wonder what their son is learning. Miller, their son, told a female guest at their home that she was hot, and the woman asked if he meant temperature-wise. She asked him what it meant when a person said it like that. I am sure she knew what he meant, but wondered what if he understood what "hot" meant, in that context. The boy replied, "It means you're sexy and your vagina looks good."

When Janet Jackson's breast came out, everyone freaked out about it. I'm not saying it was appropriate, but why did she get so much heat over it, as opposed to Justin Timberlake? He got off almost entirely scot-free in the incident. And frankly, it was way overblown. It's just a breast...deal! But here's the other thing...I wasn't there, but I heard there were other musical groups there who grabbed their crotches during their music, so why wasn't that criticized? That seems more sexual to me than a breast popping out.
