Janie brings up some good points.

I have a question:

Would Salma Hayek, the daughter of a wealthy oil man and his wife, a trained opera singer, allow her infant to be breast-fed by an African native whom she had never seen before? What if the unknown woman started breast feeding Salma's infant without permission? In public?

PDQ - did you read the article about why she did that? It wasn't like she plucked a child at random to feed. The mother could not produce breast milk, Salma could. End of story and end of your dufus logic.

Yes if the baby was starving. Of course. She would worry about germs. She might have to break some unconscious taboos, but of course. mg

I know!
FFS, why didn't that African Mum just crack open a pot of yummy Nescafe....

Jeez, you'd think there was an actual legitimate humanitarian reason why glamorous celeb Mums, might want to get their big milky titties out on camera like this!!

Nescafe, btw, is a 'bad' word for starving African babies.
Look it up. The kind of big celeb 'noise' that Salma is making, is much, much needed..

I'd happily lance a vein in order to save the life of someone I loved.
In fact it's not been unknown for starving Mothers to do this in order to save the life of a starving infant -

- but *only* if they are certain that the blood has been through a sufficient amount of double-blind rigorous scientific trials in a laboratory first, of course!

Come off it man...
Some context please!

PDQ, the issue is not bare boobs, it's starving children. Obvious to some, but apparently not to others.

After reading this thread, whenever I see post by PDQ I will think "boob".

For those who do not undestand. The hostility being shown has nothing to do with what I said on this thread,

I have had disagreements with these people a few times over the years and they are taking this as an oportunity to show their hostility. It comes from their inability to deal with someone who has opinions that differ from theirs.

The first BS thread I posted to 6 years ago had the "Ron and Don" show and they took turns doing the same things they are doing now.

Sorry to those who the mean-spirited displays "bad theater", but I am only responsible for what I said, not for what other say I said.

And have a nice day. I will.

Sorry PDQ, my memory does not recall a six year old discussion, nor do I recall having any disagreements with you in other threads.   I am reacting to the "bad theater" that you have been showing on this single thread.

I love how people use the excuse "inability to deal with someone who has opinions that differ from theirs." That pithy excuse is only thrown out when an opinion gets challenged and the individual can no longer see the logic of their original position and their ego will not allow them to admit it.

PDQ, you have simply stated that you felt that Salma Hayek was seeking publicity for herself. When challenged, you kept posting pictures of her in provactive poses - as if that would justify your position. When shown that it does not, you know resort to this tactic. Shame on you.

You can think whatever you like, your posts show that. Don't expect others to embrace your simplistic ideas.

I will say this - I do apologize for the jokes at your expense PDQ. I should not have put a personal spin on it, that only demeans my own position. You did not deserve that, sorry.

Stilly River Sage's link at 06:32 PM shows the breastfeeding and the comments Salma Hayek made at the time. Nothing offensive or provocative to anyone except to certain males who are ashamed of the lewd feelings that arise in them at the sight. I'm sorry for your sake, pdq, that I buy breast cancer postage stamps; they clearly show the outline of a breast, you konw. Might be too much for you. :) (Go yank some other chains, p.)

By the way, Salma Hayek is Indian, is she not? Considering that, is it more or less controversial that she nursed a black baby? :)

". . . their inability to deal with someone who has opinions that differ from theirs."

I—and I'm sure Ron as well—am perfectly willing to change my opinion if someone offers me a rational, solidly based argument for doing so. And I have, indeed, done so.

And if there is any attack involved, PDQ, it's not against you as a person, it's against your rather sleazy put-down of a woman who, in addition to doing a generous act per se, is concerned with the welfare of others and who is willing to undergo whatever flak comes her way in order to call attention to a major world problem. Publicity stunt? Maybe so. But she doesn't need the publicity. The cause she is calling attention to does.

Your attack on her credibility is uncalled for.

pdq shows time and again his ability to use obfuscation and selective memory to alibi his actions. First he makes comments that draw fire (it is a forum, laddie, that's what happens) and then he spends a lot of time and smoke, to try and alibi or rewrite his words. Folks here are pretty observant and figure it out quickly. This isn't about old arguments as much as it is about a consistent view of the things pdq espouses. He has been consistent over the length of his time here that folks simply have him pegged, IMO.
