It’s fairly appalling to me that Corporate America seems to have a stronger moral compass than some of our major religious leaders. I’ve never been a fan of either, but corporations are by definition amoral, profit overrules everything institutions. And yet here we have Twitter, Facebook, Paypal, Google, AirBnB all doing the right thing while white evangelical leaders are silent or worse. Who’d have thought taking a stand against Nazis who murder people would cause so much hand-wringing, dithering, and shoe-gazing. I guess being amoral eats into your profits long before it hurts your church attendance, depending on your church. That’s not to say there aren’t major religious leaders who do speak out – they do, and bless them – but it disgusts me that so many do not, when it is presumably their day job.

JFJ is a terrible person.

Like father, like son.

Oh yeah? Then why is Donald Trump Jr. such an upstanding…

Oh.

Source on Twitter and Facebook doing the right thing? I thought they had been mostly complicity in this issue.

You’re not wrong but you’re not right. You’re taking this way too literally.

Breasts shouldn’t even be considered “private parts”. Men can go around topless, so why can’t women? 'Cause extra fatty deposits? By that standard, chubby men shouldn’t go around topless, either.

Archaic Victorian social mores, are Archaic.

You are correct. I swore I’d heard Twitter was shutting down white supremacist accounts (except Trump’s), but I’m not seeing a source now.

Meanwhile, could someone read the rest of this article for me? I got to this line and couldn’t stop irony-induced laugh-vomiting, which makes reading hard:

King said Bannon was “exploiting the racial issue. That can’t be allowed.”

Would you feel better if every public place had a roped off area for breastfeeding? Would that be ok then because it’s designated for that usage, even though you could still accidentally see one of those scary offensive nipples?

Anyway, what is so difficult to understand?

Adult’s mouth on breast on female = sexual

Child’s mouth on breast on female = survival

Breasts shouldn’t even be considered “private parts”. Men can go around topless, so why can’t women? 'Cause extra fatty deposits? By that standard, chubby men shouldn’t go around topless, either.

Archaic Victorian social mores, are Archaic.

Also this. The reason women can’t go around topless is because men in certain places can’t handle it.

Because men and women are different. That is the way it has been done for years. Go the average public pool, womens’ breasts are covered and mens’ aren’t.

The beaches where women are allowed to be topless are called NUDE beaches. Think about that.

Ask yourself, WHY are they different? Just because it’s been that way forever?

nude beaches aren’t just roped off. Also, they are not everywhere.

Anyway, what is so difficult to understand?

Adult’s mouth on breast on female = sexual

Child’s mouth on breast on female = survival

This isn’t about the age of the person whose mouth is on the breast. This isn’t about someone’s mount being on a breast, this is about female breast being exposed which constitutes nudity.

You could have just have easily said this. None of it makes it right.

But babies are everywhere and they need to be fed.

This isn’t about the age of the person whose mouth is on the breast. This isn’t about someone’s mount being on a breast, this is about female breast being exposed which constitutes nudity.

It’s about the fact that you can’t handle nudity even when it’s barely noticeable and is only being done to feed a child.

Lazy answer, is Lazy.

That is the way it has been done for years.

So was women staying home to cook, clean, and handle the tots while men went out to win the bread.

Go the average public pool, womens’ breasts are covered and mens’ aren’t.

That’s the problem.

Just because “that’s the way it’s always been” doesn’t mean it’s correct. I’m actually inclined to say that it’s the opposite.

It is not opinion, it is fact. Just a look at nude pic of woman and compare it to a nude pic of man. I am sure you will be able to see differences in their bodies.

Just because it’s been that way forever?

Well it has, and it is probably going to stay that way.

Tell me, do you think females should be allowed to be exposed in G rated movie?

I do not want that.

That’s why it’s so horrifying to me when Kennedy on Fox News says that diplomacy with NK is “sunshine, rainbows, and unicorns,” or when Ben Stein gets on there and says we should “drop the big one on North Korea.” That is pretty much Trump’s only news source, his only media exposure, and they’re constantly beating the war drums calling for North Korea’s total annihilation.

why?

It shouldn’t need explaining, but it’s apparent no one here can explain it to you.

But let me ask a better question - should females be allowed to breastfeed in a G-rated movie?

Answer: yes.

men’s breasts can be shown in a G rated movie?

Yes they can. So what?
