Breastfeeding is not Obscene


So, it is as silly as it is.
I was online, and I saw that a friend of mine joined this event Mothers International Lactation Campaign M.I.L.C.. I was curious, thus I looked it up. I was surprised when I read about what was it about.

Apparently, FB thinks that posting breastfeeding pictures are obscene, and not suitable for many users.. . How silly, right? I have seen couple of things on different occasions that, I think are very obscene, yet you never see or hear FB making a big deal of them, terminating people' accounts, and deleting their posts. Unlike these dirty pictures that need to be terminated, breastfeeding pictures are beautiful, and nothing is absence about them. How sick of people to think dirty of a breastfeeding. There is nothing sexual about it. It is a beautiful, nurturing, and normal! Didn't their mothers tell them that?

I think that all FB' defending statements regarding the issue are very hypocritical. They need to start taking such action and attitude toward other things but breastfeeding - derogatory pictures, and groups that promotes nothing but absence material and values.

Obviously, what good values represent differ greatly these days, in a sad way.. .

All Roads Lead To Rome?

Since I couldn't get creative to brainstorm for my upcoming paper, I have decided to get creative blogging. Nothing big this time- assuming you read my previous post.
So, there has been this interesting quote/statment that I kept on hearing/seeing on different occasions: "I believe all roads lead to Rome (or wherever, you choose"

Humm, first time I heard it, I couldn't help but this: yeea nO!
I didn't really give it much thoughts. I don't even know if I should. But seeing it more than once had me thinking: Do all roads lead to Rome?!
I honestly tend to think not so.. . However, I do think that it may get you close..!
I like the first part, but I don't know about the second one: ( or where ever, you choose)

So any road would have two ends? But I do feel like the statement sound a bit paradox to me! I bet that I am making sound like a dilemma.
Perhaps I need more clarification on it.However,I am certain that this may relate to faith and spirituality... .

Any thoughts? All roads are good?
