I'm really curious as to how other people are using facebook, and being FORCED to look at something they don't want to see? I've been on FB for 6 months, and so far I haven't seen anything offensive except old pictures of myself drinking at Tosca and having a grand old time. Maybe the people who are offended need to think about their usage of FB and not friend every single person who asks? Or they could just grow up and move on?

Why is it so important to show your tits off? lI don't understand why women think they're being opressed when they can't show titty shots online just like they can't walk around half naked irl. Even in places where it's ok to shoe em sometimes, you don't flap around just walking down the street every day. I can only conclude that women want to make their profiles pornorific and they're using feminism as a lever.

@BytheSea: Women should be able to go topless where men are able to go topless. The discrepancy says that women's bodies are more profane than men's bodies. The discrepancy is sexist.

@rajmahall: Except that women can pretty well control themselves when they see topless men. The reverse is not true.

So a woman whose breast was removed posts a picture of where the breast used to be, and that was considered offensive?

@GinaRomantica: There can't even be the suggestion of breasts. Or the word breast. I hope they yank all the pics of fat shirtless dudes, too, 'cause that's close enough.

The woman who posted her post-mastectomomy chest: brave.

The women who post pictures of themselves breastfeeding: obnoxious. Tolerance may be a virtue, but so is modesty, no?

@PeterCeterisParibus: I agree. There's a difference between feeding your child and being an exhibitionist--that's why there are nursing blankets and such if you want to do this in public.

One of these days, America will join the rest of the world and realize that seeing breasts in different contexts--on the beach, feeding a child in public, empowering women with cancer--will not actually melt the brain and lead the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to swoop down and kill us all. Good for her. Facebook? Time to fucking grow up.

@Mediahohoho: Maybe if we didn't have celebrities spouting "these are a sexual thing...I couldn't feed my baby with them," it would be for the best.

@ChillbearLatrigue: He was honest, especially about our need to cut our fuel consumption and get off the Saudi tit. And I firmly believe that that honesty is why we hate him so much. On the other hand, Reagan the pitchman sold us a fantasy--we could have it all and nothing anywhere ever need to be regulated or taxed--and we bought in hook, line and sinker. Or some of us did.

I think they try to keep the nudity to a minimum to avoid becoming like Myspace. If you dare to venture over there, you would see that most of those pics are soft core porn. It's filled with slutty teenagers and wannabe rappers. Not that that's a bad thing...
