Yeah I second that in this case I don't see the big deal!

2 things:

#1 Breastfeeding is legal in most states.

#2 Masturbation in public is Illegal everywhere
But your welcome to give it a go.
Just let us know what jail you will be in.
So we can E-mail ya.:rofl:

LOL..Yeah, I might want to rethink that now that you mention it! :rofl:

I actually think I'm starting to miss the point though...My beef is NOT with the breastfeeding...Although, as I stated before, I understand where people could potentially become offended.

An "unlikely" analogy. In some parts of Asia, the color red is sometimes seen as offensive. If I was in a store with a bright red shirt, in the back of the restaurant, where no one else normally sits, and the owner came up to me and asked me politely to put my jacket on, I would. I KNOW it might seem offensive. My jacket is right there. What reason would I have NOT to put it on, except to prove a point? And thats the only part I have a problem with. The baby wouldn't have died if a blanket was covering her boob. The flight attendants would have smiled and walked away, and 8-12 minutes later, the baby would have been happy and full. So, why, I ask. Thats all. WHY not put the blanket on, if it would have settled everything?

I understand your point but here's where it falls short. If you had the red jacket on and no-one saw it then what's the issue? Same with this woman. No-one saw her boob so what the complaint? Are they upset at the idea that she's brestfeeding? How could they be upset with you because they knew you had on a red jacket but couldn't see it? :dunno:

:popcorn:

I agree

LOL..This is starting to sound like a case of Law and Order! :rofl:

With the jacket, who cares what the issue is? Just put the jacket on! Why argue it, when all Im going to do is eat, and go? What I dont understand, is why NOT do it? Just because you dont feel you have to? Which in itself, is OK, if that is indeed the reason. I just want to know WHY?

And youre absolutely right. IF no one saw, then why the big deal. Maybe it was the flight attendants themselves that felt uncomforable. Or maybe they had to be passed to get to the bathroom or something. I dont know.

But I also think the "big deal" question should be addressed to her, not the airline. She obviously paid for the ticket. She obviously wanted to go back to New Mexico. She obviously wanted to get there by a certain time. She obviously had people to see. If she provided "lip service", and and accepted a stupid blanket from some flight attendant she would probably never see again, and probably not even had to use to the stupid thing, all of that would have been accomplished. But she had an agenda. She wanted to prove a point, probably never finished feeding the baby, now has lawyers fees, court appearances, etc. So the real issue is, was all this worth it? I actually dont think so, but I might be wrong.

What do you think Michelle?
