FaceBook joins the rank of the prudes

Protesters target Facebook after photos of breastfeeding mothers removed

FACEBOOK is under fire after removing pictures of breastfeeding mothers from members' pages.

A Facebook group entitled "Hey, Facebook, breastfeeding is not obscene!'' has already attracted nearly 85,000 members and a handful of activists held a rally outside its California headquarters over the weekend

My opinion and comment to some person saying women were rubbing their breast feeding into people's faces.

When are prudes going to stop equating breast feeding to someone flashing their genitals or pornography? Breast feeding is not now, or ever been, obscene. If you don't like seeing it, stop staring! There are famous works of art depicting Mary nursing Jesus, are those also going to be 'sanitised'? And why is it FaceBook, and other weblogs/social networks, have no problem with a bare chested man? Hypocritical much? And to Mel, breast feeding isn't being 'rubbed into people's faces'. The people checking out profiles and pictures can move on and not ogle. They choose to stare and be 'offended'.

Fundamentalism is fundamentalism, no matter what 'ism' you follow.

Atheist Wants 'God' Out Of Inauguration
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Exactly three weeks before Barack Obama is sworn in as president, a local man is trying to make sure God is not included in the inauguration.

Michael Newdow, a self-proclaimed atheist, is most known for his fight to change the Pledge of Allegiance to remove the phrase "under God."

On Tuesday, Newdow and 17 other plaintiffs filed a lawsuit in federal court in Washington, D.C. The lawsuit says that a pastor should not be allowed to say prayers at Obama's swearing-in ceremony and the chief justice of the Supreme Court should not be allowed to end the oath of office with "So help me God."

My personal opinion on this, if it was Newdow being sworn in, he would have a say in what oath of office he would take. Since it's not him, or the other like-minded people, being sworn in, I don't think he has any right to dictate to P.E. Obama what he says for his swearing in.

As for the "Under God" in the pledge of allegiance, I agree it should be removed, as it was added in 1954 during the McCarthy era, under the notion that commie spies wouldn't say UNDER GOD, being commies and all that. I just never said "Under God", as was my choice, but I didn't force it on anyone.
