There are people who are passionately AGAINST BA's. That's how they are... and always will be. Nothing is going to change thier mind. No matter how nice your boobs look now, or how aweful they looked before... no matter how easy the surgery was or how you don't have any of the horrible side effects... those people aren't going to hear it. They hate BA's end of story.

If you are going to be willing to put it out there that you have a BA, then you have to be ready to take abuse from these people. Plain and simple.

It's sad... but true. Obviously you have come to a point where you are strong enough to say, "screw off", to those people. Good job!

I'm sure you will also set an example for other women who are considering it... that women can get a tasteful BA that fits their body and simply enhances what was already good.
An interesting viewpoint. You make it sound as though women who are not in favor of breast augmentation operations are full of hatred towards women who are. Stating one's own opinion that differs from another's is not "abuse", it's just a basic right of expression.
What *is* accurate is that each woman has their OWN opinions on the subject, and when groups of them talk about the subject in an open discussion forum, then one can expect to hear various opinions, both pro and con. Discussions involve a back and forth exchange of ideas and opinions. If one doesn't want to hear any opposing views, then one shouldn't be reading a discussion about it. As far as I've seen, the women in this discussion were pretty much just stating their own viewpoints, not attacking anyone here.
No need to tell anyone to "screw off". I think Annie also understands this concept of being able to discuss varied opinions without personal attacks.

There are people who are passionately AGAINST BA's. That's how they are... and always will be. Nothing is going to change thier mind.
So? Why would anyone feel it's necessary to try to change their mind? One could say the very same thing about people who are passionately FOR BA's.
