Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

And in your infinite knowledge when should a child be weened off?I didn't propose a law dip shit. I gave my opinion.Yes, I think it's creepy.I think at that age the child is developing socially and remaining this attached to the mother is unhealthy longterm.Breast feeding at that age is not about the child's health, it's about a mother being over-protective and her separation issues, I believe. I believe these instances of children breast feeding through their toddler years reflects the mother's need to feel some sort of self-worth, and she is seeking it by being the means of sustenance for the child when instead she should be nurturing a sense of independence at this point. Nurturing yes, but nurturing independence and self.You can disagree with that, but you cannot claim I'm trying to control anyone. She can breast feed the child till he's seven if she wants. I can point out that it is creepy if I like.You need to get over your idea that I'm some kind of control freak. It taints every argument you have with me and makes you look like a moron. Argue on the merits of what I say in a particular debate, not through the prism of the shadow government plotting against you that you seem to think I support in all the bs debates you make up.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: NO

There is no partiuclar age that a child should be weened off, that is up to the mother. It is the mother making a choice for what she thinks is best for her child.I didn't propose a law dip shit. I gave my opinion.Good, calling it a act of incest was disgusting and distasteful.You can disagree with that, but you cannot claim I'm trying to control anyone.Fair EnoughIt taints every argument you have with me and makes you look like a moron.Doubt It.Argue on the merits of what I say in a particular debate, not through the prism of the shadow government plotting against you that you seem to think I support in all the bs debates you make up.This debate had nothing to do with the government.

Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: NO

Yea, cause we all know the mother always knows whats right for their children... ::cough:: Casey ::cough:: Anthony ::cough,cough::The case concerning Casey Anthony is an aberration; a vast majority of mothers have her child's best interest.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

a vast majority of mothers have her child's best interest.Do you have any sound reason to which you base this bold claim on? Even if it is true, and the vast majority of mothers have their child's best interest at heart, are we to then assume that with good intentions comes the 'know how' as well?Pushing out a baby doesn't grant some kind of enlightenment on how to raise a child in the most beneficial manner to the child’s development. Heartfelt love and caring? maybe. Child psychology/sociology/physiology? not so much.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: NO

Do you have any sound reason to which you base this bold claim on? Are you serious? Millions of children grow up in safe caring homes with sound good morals. Love is the key element. Even if it is true, and the vast majority of mothers have their child's best interest at heart, are we to then assume that with good intentions comes the 'know how' as well?If mothers are not the best for know how, who is?Pushing out a baby doesn't grant some kind of enlightenment on how to raise a child in the most beneficial manner to the child’s developmentStraw man, nobody said that birthing a child comes sense of enlightenment on how to raise a child, the point is that there is no one way to raise a child.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

Are you serious? Millions of children grow up in safe caring homes with sound good morals. Love is the key element.That is arguable. I will admit that most parents have good intentions, and love; I’m not completely daft. My point in asking my question was mainly rhetorical. I wanted to hint that it is a bold claim to make, based on anecdotal evidence. At any rate, is it enough to just have good intentions or the best interest of the child? Or is there something more?If mothers are not the best for know how, who is?If a mother is not the best for knowhow, then someone who is the best for knowhow is.Straw man, nobody said that birthing a child comes sense of enlightenment on how to raise a child, the point is that there is no one way to raise a child.Okay maybe that was a little much I admit; an exaggeration. But I think we can agree that parents often times develop love for their children, and that can lead to them having their child’s best interest at heart, but ‘good intentions’ is not the same as ‘knowhow’ nor does it even lead to knowhow.And I agree that there is no one way to raise a child; included in those many ways are methods that are detrimental to the child’s development, good intentions aside. Other methods have been shown to work exceedingly well in raising a healthy child, both physically and mentally. There may be many different methods of parenting, but there are nonetheless beneficial/detrimental ways, or 'right ways,' and 'wrong ways.'I’m reminded of the large amount of children being taught eating/exercise habits that are detrimental to the child’s health and future (not intentionally, I’m sure the parents love their children, but that is not really the issue is it?).
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

There is no particular age that a child should be weened off, that is up to the mother. It is the mother making a choice for what she thinks is best for her child.And I can disagree with her judgment... truly, as much as I love my mother I could write a book about shit she's been wrong about. Mother's are not infallible.This debate had nothing to do with the government.Agreed. Now name a non-governing body which would have a "Central Controller," otherwise you first and several times since for no apparent reason other than your preconceived notions of me, have brought government into the debate.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: NO

Mother's are not infallible.Considering she is human, how is that really a surprise? Humans make errors in judgement, I was unaware of anything being infallible.Now name a non-governing body which would have a "Central Controller,"Companies have central planners, but they don't plan for other people. They plan for the future of the company.otherwise you first and several times since for no apparent reason other than your preconceived notions of me, have brought government into the debate.Please, exact quote in this debate where "GOVERNMENT WAS MENTIONED."

YESSSSSSSSSSS COME ON PEOPLE ! THAT'S DISTURBING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

When you have no more milk in your boobs, it's time to stop...
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: NO

The production of milk in the female breast will continue as long as the consumption continues.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: NO

That's usually true.Though many women have biological issues beyond their control where they stop producing milk, cannot produce enough, produce bad batches or simply cannot breastfeed at all. All which can happen regardless if the woman is trying to breastfeed or not.(Note: I want to clarify, I am on the "no" side, I do not object to this).
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

Yes, do you see full grown animals breast feeding? No. We shouldn't either. Why would you anyway?
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

YESSSS!!!!!!!!! whats the piont of having your boobs being sucked on when youre kid is old enough to be in school and feed himself?? And besides i think that ummm... it would be kinda awkward for your 15 year old kid to come down and say there hungry ;)
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

When they have a mouth full of teeth. It is time to stop!
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

there is an appropriate age i dont want my child to have memories of breast feeding thats just wrong
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: NO

Children don't remember breast feeding as a sexual act, this is your assumption. They only remember as food.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

Yes but as the child develops it will see it this way and also as you say they'll see it as food ; it would be conflicting for them, and if their peers find out the child might be bullied.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

That's only while they are young. Sooner or later it becomes a sexual act.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: NO

What is the appropriate age? If someone goes over this age, are you going to have them arrested? The mother can stop breast feeding at any age she chooses.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

Nah, not arrested. A fine is sufficient enough to do the job. And like someone already posted, in other countries, it is illegal to breastfeed someone over the age of three. So I suppose 3 is the appropriate age.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: NO

Well, being arrested is what is going to happen eventually, because the mother probably will ignore the fine and continue what she thinks is best for her child anyway. THEN WHAT? The whole idea of freedom is allow people make the decisions for their own lives and those who are they are responsible for.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

Are you joking? Since when has fines not proven effective? You must not have speed limits in your country, because anyone who has been pulled over for speeding and fined in my country usually thinks twice about doing it again. They are expensive, not to mention, you insurance goes up too.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: NO

Are you joking? Are fines really that effective? Speeding occurs constantly, government just picks those times when to pull people over not to mention the number of people who ignore paying the fine. Government doesn't put people in jail for not paying speeding tickets. Speeding tickets like breast feeding fines are just to fatten government budgets. Even if she would pay the fine, she will continue to breast feed. I've paid speeding tickets, I still speed.You are comparing speeding to a mother who breast feeds?
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

Hell yeah the government put people in jail for not paying speeding tickets. I've personally seen two people arested for that very thing. And NO, I'm not comparing speeding to breast feeding. You totally are either mis-representing my statement, OR is too lazy to read the posts. It was an example about the effectiveness of fines. "I've paid speeding tickets, I still speed."Congratulations, you're a moron. Nobody cares.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: NO

I've personally seen two people arested for that very thing.Ok, I totally believe that.Actually, you were comparing the use of speeding fines to the use of breast feeding when YOU SAID "Since when has fines not proven effective." This is not a example, it was use of comparison that breast feeding fines will just be as effective as speeding ticket fines. How do we know it is a comparison, because the topic is about breast feeding.AN EXAMPLE would be something something like this. Suzy was disgustingly breast feeder her child at the age of 6, and her neighbor say this disgusting act, and called the cops, she was fined $1000 for taking care of her child. She was made an example of this heinous crime.Congratulations, you're a moron. Nobody cares.The fact that even if mothers would pay the fine, breast feeding would continue along with millions of drivers who pay speeding tickets will continue to speed.So, I presume that you have never sped yet you claim to be GENERAL LEE.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

"I've personally seen two people arrested for that very thing.Ok, I totally believe that."Before I switch majors to Computer Engineering, I was a Police Cadet for three years."So, I presume that you have never sped yet you claim to be GENERAL LEE."I got to post a picture of that thing some time. It's an orange (ish) Dodge Charger RT 6 speed V8. I got the Wolo Dixie horn in it, and 01 magnets in the side as well as a Dixie flag vinyl on the roof. It's tight!
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

Yes, although it's not a "number" it's an "age" as in a level of maturity and self reliance that is too high.Once a child is capable of riding a bike we have obviously seen the age to stop has been reached (actually passed).I would venture to say that if the child can open a refrigerator and get a beverage for themselves you've probably passed the "age" as well.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

Yeah, I'm sorry, but this is just wrong. You shouldn't be breastfeeding your kid if he's old enough to eat food.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

I don't know much about breasrmilk but I know that it is very important for a growing child but I also know that too much of everything is bad so I think that preferably at the age of three,a cgild should be weaned off breastmilk.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

Since when did you see a full sized animal being fed by it's mom. Oh wait, you don't. It's plain and simple, it isn't natural. There is a time when a kid needs to start eating and drinking. Breast feeding is only to get the baby started, not to make him live on it for the rest of his life.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

Yes and no .No because as long as there is milk actually coming out , then I guess its fine because its going to use . But also , yes , because the child needs to learn to drink actual liquids like water , juice , and other stuff . Plus its also just .....wrong .....the child will grow up perverted :/
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: NO

You have to understand the word "perverted." Perverted is a perceptional view....it depends on different people. If a society do allow this, they don't see it as perverted. There was this one video on youtube. It was a dancing competition. And it was this little girl dancing to beyonce. She was dressed and danced in a way where America would call "slutty" and "wrong." But to Europe, it is just a little girl dancing to one of their favorite songs. And to the little girl, those dance moves where you smack your butt are just silly dance moves to her. Things becomes perverted when it comes to a perverted mind. So overall, i have to say that perceptions isn't written in a black permanent marker for everybody to follow. In fact, as stated by google, perversion is sexual behavior that is considered to be abnormal or unacceptable. To you breast feeding a child is perversion but not to others. And i can respect that. If you read my first comment, i too find it "ew."
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

I like squeezing lactating breast milk all over my chest..., Am I perverted ;)
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: NO

A child can breast feed AND eat solid food and drink other liquids it not one or the other. No one knows what "causes" a person to be perverted, plus "perversion" is subjective. Some people are gay are they perverted? Some consider finding the pregnant form attractive is perverted, or having sex with more then one person at once or sodomy or oral these are all examples of perversion to someone. In my opinion have an obsession with breast is really not that big a deal.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: NO

Many people are freaking out about the breastfeeding a 3 year old Times cover. Sure it's a bit odd in the United States, but it's not harming the kid or the mother, the benefits only continue. It's not child molestation just because he's 3. I think they're learning breasts aren't just sexual, in fact it seems this way they're learning breasts provide food first and then learning society finds them sexually appealing.Anthropologists concur that different types of mammals use different methods for determining a weaning period. The main two methods are body weight/body size and the appearance of the molar tooth. Not the age of their offspring. But when the math is done, in human years that's somewhere between 1.5 - 7 years.Even if we were the only ones who did it, so what? There really isn't a danger to drinking breastmilk that isn't there when they were an infant. They prefer to drink breastmilk, why does it need a more valid reason than that? Socially, they should be drinking out of sippy cups or regular cups by then. Would you care if they were drinking their mothers breastmilk in the cup instead of cow's milk?The way I see it, sure it's odd, I wouldn't be letting my kid breastfeed beyond 2, but if they preferred my milk, I'd pump it out for them. But if that mom and child have no problem, isn't it their prerogative?People, calm down, we can survive a boob.

Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?

To whoever down-voted my post: I have to say, I think I would much prefer someone down-voting AND disputing my post than simply down vote without a dispute. Could you at least tell me why you disapprove of my post?
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: NO

The correct age is really determined only by free people who make these decisions based on subjective values. In this case, the mother and her mother choose to breast feed until 6, which is perfectly fine. Society may view a three year child breast feeding as disgusting, yet there is nothing wrong with it as long as it has no sexual implications. Free people making the best decisions for their own personal life, which is the foundation of human action.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

Do you believe that something be just & fair, yet inappropriate?
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

Absolutely Not, free people making decisions for their own individual lives. Something inappropriate is talking in the library or cell phone ringer on in the theater.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: NO

Absolutely Not, free people making decisions for their own individual lives.So if something is just, it is always appropriate?Your own example goes against that idea: people are completely free to talk in the library, it is only fair that they are able to, yet you believe it's inappropriate.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

Of course, people are free to talk in the library and it is fair to be able so but in a respect matter, what is inappropriate to be loud in the library.So do you want a rock concert in the library, because that would only be fair.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

But would it be fair to talk in a loud manner in a library?
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

Of course it would fair, but is it appropriate? No, just as PF said, it would be fair to have a rock concert in the library, but is that appropriate.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

That's the question I was trying to get PrayerFails to answer, yet he seemed somewhat reclusive in his responses. I believe that things can be fair, yet inappropriate.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: NO

Amen brother! I could not agree more! ---------------------------------------------------------
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

Why did you say "Amen"?You're not praying you know.Anyway, PrayerFails is Anti-Praying, sierrafalse.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

The word Amen has more than religious connotations. The word is defined by an online dictionary as "an expression of concurrence or assent". In other words, it means "I agree with you". In fact I agree that there is an appropriate age to stop breastfeeding. However, I disagree that the gov. should stick it's oar in and legislate.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: NO

So you could agree more?Someone seems to have contradicted themselves ...
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

Yes, I did contradict myself. My answer is yes AND no. Yes, there is an appropriate age to stop breast feeding and no, there should be no legislation.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

6 years old and still breastfeeding? Are you mad?The first memories that people have are from time around 3 years old. That is the UTMOST age when breastfeeding may still be allowed but after that it will be VERY VERY WRONG, and should be forbidden. A person must NOT have memories of him/herself clinging to a breast and feeding!
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: NO

You're saying it should be FORBIDDEN? So, we're going to send guys with guns to take a child away from her mother if she does it?How about frowned upon, or socially unacceptable to the point of ostracism or counciled against?
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

You are the one who said guys with guns, not me... But fine, let's go with guys with guns if you'd like that so much.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: NO

I hope someday someone with a gun takes away something you love, since you seem to approve of such actions. Perhaps it will give you some perspective.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: YES

What are you going about?Honestly, you need to read my original comment... Just in case you'll miss it I'll spell it out for you: I AM NOT THE ONE WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT GUNS, YOU DID!Perhaps this will make you see how stupid you are.I think you are just trolling here, the only thing that makes the most sense. But on the other hand, I would not put it past you if you actually were that stupid.
Debate: Is there an appropriate age to stop breast feeding?
Side: NO

You wrote "That is the UTMOST age when breastfeeding may still be allowed but after that it will be VERY VERY WRONG, and should be forbidden."Definition of forbid from the Merriam Webster dictionary: "to proscribe from or as if from the position of one in authority : command against "The only "authority" over all of the potential breastfeeders is the government. So, you're proposing a law. What is the consequence of disobeying a law regarding child abuse and child sexualization? It's A GUY WITH A GUN TAKING THE CHILD.You may not have said the word "GUN" but you were calling for the use of one all the same.
