May 12, 200917 yr It’s sad that the gay rights movement and liberals have to crucify this young lady simply because she doesn’t support their stance on gay marriage. I suppose the fact that she is from California and expressed conservative values really enraged the liberals on the left coast. :thumb:
May 12, 200917 yr One could argue that Perez Hilton was the best thing to happen to this woman. If she gives a standard, non-offensive answer, then no one would have ever heard from her again. Instead, she gives an "offensive" answer and gets talked about on the net and news for a month. She made the talk-show circuit. Now people know her and her name. Perhaps she can land a book deal. Maybe even a small part in a Hollywood film. Pictures of her find their way onto the internet and people are intrigued, simply because she is the beauty queen contestant everyone is talking about. Now be honest, does anyone know who she is without Hilton's question and blog? :puke: What was "offensive" about her answer? Or did it offend people that do not agree with her? Are we not allowed our own opinions? Must we conform to PC no matter our true feelings and beliefs? Deal with it!

Must we conform to PC no matter our true feelings and beliefs? Deal with it! I was wondering the same thing. She seemed to go out of her way to lessen the impact of her opinion.
May 12, 200917 yr Well, yeah, but isn't it all about maturity and so forth that the legal age of an adult was set at 18? If so, what is the true difference in maturity between a 17 year old and an 18 year old? I just don't see a problem with this particular situation in the least. That one day can make a huge difference in maturity level my friend.
May 12, 200917 yr I thought the way she worded her answer was very positive. However, I thought that I read that she signed a contract before the Miss California pagent saying that she had never taken any topless photos. Am I mistaken on that?

However, I thought that I read that she signed a contract before the Miss California pagent saying that she had never taken any topless photos. Am I mistaken on that? I read the contract the other day but can't seem to find it now. I recall a clause about motion pictures, but not photographs. Additionally, I'm not sure these photos would qualify as topless.
May 12, 200917 yr Remember Miss California who stood up for traditional marriage and got 15 minutes plus of fame? Fame is not always good. Apparently young Miss CA took some risque photos as a 17 year old and now they are surfacing. As Gomer said "Surprise surprise surprise." It doesn't seem like she is any hot water. Mr. Donald Trump allowed her to remain Miss California. So surprise, surprise, surprise, no trouble at all.:irked::thumb:

So surprise, surprise, surprise, no trouble at all.:irked::thumb: While I fully support her right to express her views and have no problem with her answer , to say she hasn't taken any heat over this is absurd.
May 12, 200917 yr I read the contract the other day but can't seem to find it now. I recall a clause about motion pictures, but not photographs. Additionally, I'm not sure these photos would qualify as topless. Just saw the TMZ photos. They're topless.
May 12, 200917 yr While I fully support her right to express her views and have no problem with her answer , to say she hasn't taken any heat over this is absurd. Not singleing you out but I would love to hear those that blasted people for "mistreating" the Dixie Chicks for their offensive comments do the same thing to the morons that are villifying this young lady for her comments that weren't nearly as offensive in my mind.

Regardless of the level of "offense" its a two-way street. I didn't agree with the Chicks but I didn't have a problem with them expressing their opinions. I also didn't agree with the boycott that fans and radio stations came up with but I fully supported their expression of dissatisfaction. Same here. Let the girl express her opinion. If you don't like it express your opinion. Why are we mad at people who are mad about this girl's opinion?
May 13, 200917 yr Author Just saw the TMZ photos. They're topless. At least she wasn't a minor when she took them. Note: She says they were photo-shopped. Also, its obvious those were pre-enhancement.

If you don't like it express your opinion. Why are we mad at people who are mad about this girl's opinion? It's not the disagreement it's the way it has been expressed. Perez Hilton in particular has been very insulting and degrading in a very personal fashion. That crosses the line. Had someone very publically started calling Natalie Maines a big fat cow with a big mouth that would have crossed the line as well.

While that may the problem you have with it, my opinion is that the people that are upset are upset because of the fact that the person being "attacked" shares the same belief as they do. My guess is that they were blasting the Chicks when they expressed their opinion because they felt like they were being attacked - just like they feel like they are being attacked now for sharing Miss CA's view.

So you're OK with the personal attacks that have been heaped on her?
