As soon as boobs come out a large proportion of people walking by will look. It is an uncommon thing so it draws attention, no issue with breastfeeding in public though.

Sometimes it's hard to find a bathroom.

I think I'll skip my anti-discrimination class, I feel like perpetuating a system of class division today

Incidentally, unless you fall under an exception you can't discriminate against someone on the basis of breastfeeding under the Sex Discrimination Act (Cth). No joke!

Embarrassed because of your reaction or you feel uncomfortable?

I'll admit I occasionally feel a bit uncomfortable whenever I see someone breastfeeding because of our social hangups, but then I remember that if she has no problem doing it in public why should I have a problem with it? So then the discomfort quickly passes.

Clearly a sign that we don't post enough boobs in AusGAF. Don't be embarrassed, boobs are to be celebrated!

I'll PM EatChildren to see if we can get an homage showcase going up in this place.

Also I haven't seen a picture of bacon in these threads for too damn long guys. Not cool.

Before I head to university I just wanted to drop a link to the ACL's wonderfully idiotic response to KRudd (somewhat opportunistically) coming out in support of gay marriage. Let's take a look at some of the assertions. Please assume the entire thing is bolded because it's horseshit from sea to shining sea.

Media Release - Tuesday May 21, 2013

The Prime Minister who rightly gave an apology to the stolen generation has sadly not thought through the fact that his new position on redefining marriage will create another.

Australian Christian Lobby Managing Director Lyle Shelton said Kevin Rudd’s overnight change of mind on redefining marriage ignored the consequence of robbing children of their biological identity through same-sex surrogacy and other assisted reproductive technologies.

“What Kevin Rudd has failed to consider is that marriage is a compound right to form a family. Marriage is not just an affectionate relationship between two people regardless of gender.

“Marriage has always been about providing stability and biological identity for children wherever possible.

“What Mr Rudd has not considered is whether or not it is right for children to be taken through technology from their biological parent so that ‘married’ same-sex couples can fulfil their desires.”

Mr Shelton said Mr Rudd had also ignored the fact that this inevitably means parents will have their children taught the mechanics of homosexual sex in school sex education classes, something that would surely follow the redefinition of marriage.

“The so-called ‘marriage equality’ debate has been conducted by slogans without proper consideration of the consequences. Kevin Rudd is the latest to fall victim to shallow thinking on this issue,” Mr Shelton said.

“Mr Rudd’s announcement that he supports same sex marriage will be a huge disappointment for Christians and leaves their hopes for the preservation of marriage clearly with the Coalition and Christian-based minor parties.

“Any notion that same sex marriage can be legislated with protections for churches not to conduct the service is naive in the extreme,” said Mr Shelton.

“The UK legislation claiming to do the same was not even through the lower house when gay activists announced they had no intention of honouring that because in their view it allowed the church to discriminate against them.

“Any same sex marriage legislation will create vulnerabilities for the church and even more so for individual Christians who don’t have its institutional weight and legal identity,” Mr Shelton said.

“Wherever same sex marriage or equivalents have been legislated Christians have been pursued by activists. Christian businesses have been closed down, public servants and even pastors hauled into court and fined for exercising their conscience,” Mr Shelton said.

“No government has the right to create these vulnerabilities for the church-going twenty per cent of the population in order to allow the point two per cent who will take advantage of this to redefine marriage,” he said.

“Mr Rudd seems intent on burning bridges not only with colleagues, but with a constituency which had long given him the benefit of the doubt,” Mr Shelton said.

“Something is either true and demands our support, or not. The truth doesn’t change with popular opinion, to which he is now saying he seems to be responding.”

“If this is an attempt to wedge Julia Gillard, it will cost Mr Rudd the last of his following in the Christian Constituency,” Mr Shelton said.

His views on homosexuality and changing the definition of marriage are not in line with orthodox Christian teaching.

“All major Australian church denominations officially oppose same sex marriage and over 50 of Australia’s most prominent church and denominational leaders signed a statement against it in August 2011.”

Also I bought the unlimited Bolton package for my new aldimobile Sim and its been nearly 20min without them processing my order. surely it should be automated?

I have no internet and I'm sitting in a maccas waiting for it to tick over.

edit: it happened nearly exactly 30 minutes later. on the plus side they text you saying it was applied so that's nice of them.

What's the deal with breastfeeding in public? I'm at the airport and this lady right next to me is flashing her full right teet while her infant son enjoys his breakfast.

I don't know, is it normal? I mean breastfeeding is fine, but you can do it without flashing everyone, can't you?

Certainly sounds like you've got an issue with it.

It's perfectly normal and acceptable to breastfeed in public. You just need to let the baby know if it has a milk moustache.

If you're not already, TBJ really is one of the best podcasts for listening to a bunch of Joes shoot off on wild tangents shooting the shit. Doesn't matter if you don't even really follow basketball. I don't play many video games (except the only one that ever matters) let alone anything that Idle Thumbs play and yet I'm a stalwart subscriber.

I've had sex with a former Hack presenter. Not saying who, but I will say her vagina is asymmetrical. One side be all like, "Labia Minor? What labia minor?". The other side looks like a pipe bomb went off in a boutique Italian delicatessen. An expensive boutique Italian delicatessen.

Oh sweet that actually sounds perfect for me. I don't get enough time to keep up to date on the NBA aside from Spurs or big news item that hit my best mate.

Also that sounds like the most uncomfortable sex ever, were you spinning like a top trying to work out what the hell was going on with it?

Shaneus said:
I actually made a REALLY lengthy post in the OT about what I think the main difference between old Thumbs and new is, that being because two of them aren't journalists anymore (Nick and Chris) that they only active exposure to the games industry that they really have is playing games (and to a much lesser extent, forums), point being that they're not actively seeking stuff out and coming across random things like horse bags, shadows, colossuses and the like.

Yeah I agree, not quite as fun as the old days but still has its charm thankfully. They don't have as much free time now that they are in the crunch gaming industry.

ACL don't give a fuck about people who don't conform to their archetype of the "normal" family.
Not to different to the Nazi's in my opinion, they just know how to avoid getting taken down.

Are you being serious or just trying to stir him up? Sounds less like an issue and more that it is something he isn't used to. I can't say I see it very often either, maybe a dozen times in my entire life at most. Sounds like he is just unaware that it is something to be done on the bus or at a cafe rather than in a baby room.

I love that Australian Christian Lobby has the same acronym as a videogame league. I don't know why I love that so much.

Very tongue in cheek. I don't see if that often round here either tbh. Though the milk moustache thing was deadly serious.

OzGameShop continues to impress. Ordered a game on Wednesday, they posted it on Thursday and it arrived this morning. Three goddamn business days for postage from England, that's excellent!

Games Paradise haven't even finished processing my order from that same day.

I found OzGameShop process pretty quickly, the delievery time can vary from 3 business days to 2 weeks. Which is pretty good coming from Englad, I usually check them first these days.
