              • I hate when people do this. the question was, is it appropriate? the answer, it's your personal choice as to whether or not it is appropriate. dense dense dense dense dense.

          • the privacy factor is the same. we all know that babies do these things. it is not polite or appropriate to shove them in people's faces. and breast feeding is letting of waste. anyway, you're obviously uneducated and lack manners if you are hurling ins ts like that - I dont care what you think
