Between blotch and blok

if you feel incapable of repressing/ignoring [something], the polite thing to do would be to unobtrusively get up and leave the room, rather than make everyone else share your [response to it].

My point exactly. The difference between our opinions is that to you it should be my responsibility to make sure I'm not offended by your behaviour, whereas to me, your behaviour can only be your responsibility. And given that we live in a country where people get arrested for streaking, threatening behaviour, public affray and so on, it rather looks as though the rest of society takes the same view as me.

if we're assuming party guests so immature they can't deal with a woman breastfeeding OMG IN FRONT OF THEM, they are obviously not grown-up enough to amuse themselves for ten minutes

I refer you to my other comment above (http://muninnhuginn.livejournal.com/317509.html?thread=391493#t391493). I really don't know what you think insulting people who disagree with you is going to achieve; attempting to create social change through browbeating everyone else until they're too scared to disagree is more commonly known as terrorism.
