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.

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.
Lisa, I probably didn't word my response just right.

I would say that there are probably 3 types out there (applies to men as well as women really):
1) Boob jobs are fine in their book. They have no issue getting one themselves (or their SO) and are fine with them.
2) Boob jobs are fine in their book, but they wouldn't want one for themselves or their SO.
3) Boob jobs are NEVER OK in their book. No matter if a women needed them (some women do have tubular breasts, etc. Getting a boob job is a huge mental lift for them. Or what about breast cancer survivors?)... and they will stand on the top of the "mountain" to let women with boob jobs how horrible they are for getting one and how agains boob jobs they are.

I'm all for listening to opposing views. I don't think anyone in this thread has been rude or judgemental. Not at all.

But in reference to the lady that posted... you do run into the ones who are judgemental and you have to be prepared to face that if you tell people.

I know I was cornered in a ladies restroom at a club for about 45 minutes by a lady who had to tell me how horrible getting a boob job was. I was very polite and listened to her point of view and recognized why she didn't agree with it and respected her opinion. Trust me, I was more than kind to this lady. But that's a prime example of what you sometimes have to face.

I would never expect to change someone's mind. If you are against it, that's the way it is. I guess I would just expect for someone to respect my decision for my life and stop judging me for my decisions. But, sometimes, that's not the case. Not in this thread, but generally speaking.

So trust me... I'm not upset or hurt and I don't think anyone here has been mean. I was just pointing out that sometimes you do have to "face" those people who will make judgements and tell you how horrible you are for making your choices.
