Posting photos of nursing babies online

On another board, a poster has a long siggy that includes a slideshow of nursing babies from her playgroup. Another poster took offense at it and there has been quite the debate over the appropriateness of the siggy. I posted a message inviting people here to discuss that issue, and I hope that one of the posters from that particular playgroup comes here, at least so we can see what the siggy looks like. I'm having a hard time forming coherent thoughts today, LOL! So don't worry if I don't come back to debate the issue with you, I'm trying to get out of the office so I can go home & sleep.
As "Linda Richmond" (aka Mike Myers) from SNL would say, "talk amongst yourselves."

Does common sense tell you to spend $$ on a an inferior product rather than using the better one that's free? Does common sense tell you to provide your baby with the most healthy option?
Not trying to be attacking here, but jeze, using common sense as a reason NOT to BF is a bit of a stretch.

<<100 years ago the 'majority' of Americans thought women shouldn't have the right to vote
70 years ago the 'majority' of Americans thought it was ok to put people of Japanese desent into internment camps
50 years ago the 'majority' of Americans thought bi-racial relationships were offensive (and they were illegal in most of the country)>>
Very good points. Just because the "majority" feels a certain way, that does make the sentiment correct or just. In a few more years, NIP won't even be an issue. I don't think it's really that big of an issue now.
Why do you keep trying to make this personal? Why do you keep asking me questions if you're going to be rude if I dare to answer them? I don't think I have issues, I think people who don't give a rat's patootie about anyone but themselves have issues, hence the problem.
Just to play devils advocate here...wouldn't you, or another person, wanting a mom to cover up or go 'somewhere' else to BF be that person not caring about another persons feelings, ie: the nursing mom? I mean, suppose I go out to dinner with my friends/family for some social interaction, relaxation, etc and my son is hungry and wants to nurse. If I get up and go BF in the bathroom (which I w/don't do), then I'm missing out on what I'm there for. SO, you, or others, think I should subjogate my needs and feelings for those of others. Why are there feelings more important than mine? Why aren't they being selfish and rude towards me?

I do resent FF companies for their insidious marketing schemes, though.

Um, I was completely topless when I took the pic, but since all you can see is my son's head/face and some of my breast, why is that germane?

I just spent a long time looking back through the posts, and checking them against replies... it looks like all of the posts I was talking about have since been removed. (Which kind of proves my point.) This was one of them. (I will just say post deleted... hehe)
