I remember being in the hospital because my baby had jaundice. The nurse handed us a pamphlet and the doctor came in. He explained that if we didn't formula feed he would call the Department of Child Services on us and report us. He almost went so far as to not let us leave until they got there. Apparently he thought it was abuse.

When we pointed out that his own pamphlets PROMOTED BREASTFEEDING AS A MEANS TO GET RID OF JAUNDICE, his nurse GRABBED THE PAMPHLET AND SCRATCHED THAT SECTION OUT.

Suffice to say all dirty diapers were changed by that nurse! We couldn't because "Formula diapers smelled so bad."

Doctors are so fucking owned by the Pharmacy companies, and the formula industry that it's insane. They told nearly all our friends they "were not producing enough milk." And of course our friends breastfed just fucking fine.

I won't go into what a spiritual event breastfeeding is--but let's just say I am for it. And before anyone opens their traps--I have met few (Only one in fact) who flaunted her nipple tits. In fact, one on Facebook tried to start shit and she was blasted because she was at fault. No one came to protest for her dumb ass.

I think you're over-reacting a bit.

Your comments are easily as offensive as you think this video is.

There is wisdom in that comment lantern. However, the culture is so screwed up I have reason.

First, I am not selling myself and am pretending to be clean. They are.

Second, I know I take the low road here. They do not know they are taking the low road and they do it all for the money.

Third, until you have been threatened with someone taking your children for not trying a product, then I don't think you have a right to judge. You could note that the Doctor in my comment would have had nothing to stand on, but think, his 'medical expertise' against my being Mad Dad. Who would the state pick? And even if it was temporary, I don't really care. The culture is acid, pure and simple acid. These casters contribute to the acid.

Fourth, hypocrisy I have never had much use for--this lady has it in bundles.

Fifth, I am responding to the bullies, not the other way around.

Now, with that said, the worst comment I made was 'Cunt.' I reserve that for only the most hypocritical of people. No one on the Sift has come close to this word. No one in school. A few in politics, and a few in my unit back in the army... But this woman equates buying this doll to directly teaching your teenagers to have sex. She might not have said it straight out, but she said it through implication. I believe John Stewart says it pretty well when he mocks something like, "Well, I'm not saying he's a child molester, but if you wear that shirt?"

So yeah, not overreacting, and I am not worse than these people. I have taken the low road, I admit that freely. Either way, I have taken out the word cunt because I can tone down the hyperbole a bit...

(Also, I never mock anyone first. I think only the lowest, weakest, fragile, dumbest people do that. And I mean--I never mock anyone first.)

That lady news presenters top makes me want to suck on breasts.

Eh, it's just Red Eye. They're dumb by default.

Lawdeedaw, I too experienced discrimination in the hospital for breastfeeding. The nurses would take my son when I fell asleep and feed him formula. Because of that he never latched and I dried up after three months. I explicitly told EVERYONE I was breastfeeding exclusively, but they still went behind my back and fed him formula. I had breast milk that I had painfully pumped in the mini fridge provided and someone THREW IT AWAY when I was sleeping. Why are NURSES and DOCTORS, of all the fucking people who should know better, doing this shit? The Enfamil schwag they pushed on me when I left was staggering. I had a diaper bag full of formula, coupons, you name it. I gave it to a friend who couldn't breast feed. I don't mind others feeding their children formula. It's all up to them, but when it comes to me and my child, fuck off, especially when I'm right.. Breast milk is infinitely better for your child. How could anyone even argue that processed, synthetic shit is better? It doesn't have any of the antigens or immune system boosting awesomness that breast milk does.

So I completely understand, agree with and support your ire and you are not over-reacting in the least. When companies can decided what dictates health and how to go by it, purely to line their pockets and post huge profits, you have to be informed and protect yourself.

Moving this video to Lawdeedaw's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Thanks Uses. And another sad part? The friend of yours probably could breastfeed but was told she couldn't (My wife was told that shit and she breastfeed fine with three babies.) Now, it could be your friend truly couldn't feed, but that's not the most likely--the human body is meant to work, not be broke.

Big man says "I'm boycotting dolls!": LOL

The third use of breasts: LOL

"We need to affirm the supremacy of GI Joe as an American icon": WTF?

You are wrong about one thing Lawdeedaw, that being there are a few things sacred to these jawing donkeys and their network. Namely, the almighty dollar, repulicans, and anyone making assloads of said almighty dollar.

I have zero problems with breast feeding but I still think that doll is a little weird.

Not a problem at all--but you don't have a right to think it will make whores out of young girls, or laugh at it like a douche...

Which you have not--I am speaking to the Fox-asses.

Well of course they have those rights, they just have to deal with looking like morons.

There is a difference between "can" and "right". They can say what they want--even if it causes hate crimes and whatever. The doctor "could" have taken my child for not formula feeding...

It is not their "right" because governments "can" take it away. However, I say this for another reason. Let's say they wish to inflict this verbal ridicule, this verbal abuse that molds a country into bewb-o-phobes and makes it very unfriendly towards natural-feeding mothers (I.e., America) That verbal ridicule can hurt a hell of a lot worse than a slap to the face. In fact, on a side note, verbal ridicule causes some gays to harm themselves, but back to topic. Yes, you can say whatever you want. And I "can" walk up to them and break their noses. But should I? Should they? They have no right, and neither do I.

I am forced to conclude that we have very different definitions of "right". I agree there's a distinction to be made but I think it's between "should" and "right".
