How about "none of the above".

The 13th contestant is going to be a vote in, either Kyle Massey, SABRINA BRYAN, or Carson Kressley.

Let me repeat Kyle Massey, SABRINA BRYAN , or Carson Kressley.

Only one of these dancers should be let back on that show. Her boot was the biggest shock of this entire show and made the producers change how people got let off. Everyone was sure she was going to be the winner and she shouldve been. Now excuse me while I go cry and vote Sabrina a million times.

Uh... thinking someone is a moron does not make us jealous. Yeah, I'm really jealous of a teen mom who's desperately trying to convince the world she's more than a messed up tramp. She has no talent... she's so boring her reality show was cut just as quick as it aired and her dancing is sub-par.
I'm not jealous, I'm simply tired of the media trying to shove a nobody in my face until she becomes a somebody.

So turn off your frickin' TV and get a life doing something ... you know, like the Palins are doing. Sheesh! such jealous whiners! Read a book to some kids, visit a nursing home, help young women understand how to make better choices ... wait, you're too good for that because Bristol is already doing it.

You're making quite an ass of yourself by assuming what I do and do not do.
My life is working with autistic children, I volunteer my time with abused women and children and young mothers.
What is Bristol doing hands on? For that matter, what are you doing, hands on?

A star is whatever people determine a star to be. George Clooney is a star because his rich Hollywood friends give him top roles in movies, even though most of them lose money. So maybe Bristol is a bigger star than him? She is already well liked by millions for her so-called lack of being a star.

Nah, just like other celebrities, like Paris Hilton, the Kardashians, and others who young girls idolize. Or other non-actors you wouldn't care for - the Kennedys, the Rockefellers, the Trumps, Gloria Steinem, every Miss-anything beauty contest winner, Malcolm X, John Wilkes Booth, Anna Nicole Smith, Kate Moss, Twiggy, and many more. Bristol has just as much right to notoriety as any of those.

And your point being? She is a role model for what? Become a teen mom or just because her mom is known quantity?

So much for conservatives and family values and waiting till marriage.

Just because she is an adult now, doesn't mean I have to like her.

Since you brought up philosophies ... So much for liberals being nonjudgmental and caring about everyone, especially those who have made mistakes then tried to better themselves and even gone on to help others. Typical liberal haters!

reply
metalmi... to Expert ... 2012/08/02 00:09:56

Where the hell did I say I was nonjudgemental? Unlike you, I am human and capable of making mistakes. So I don't like the slut. So what!

Unlike so called conservatives who espouse family/christian values then conveniently overlook transgressions when it suits them for a select few. Ok you overlook the slut becoming pregnant, yet you all espouse total and utter hatred towards gays simply because you do not like their transgressions. (they are only transgressions in the warped mind of christians)

You conservatives give a damn about anyone but yourselves? Now that is an f***ing joke. Your hatred of all who are not like your narrow little freaking box is evident every freaking day. Take your punk ass to chick-a-fil with the other hateful noncaring so called conservative christians. christianity USED to be a religion of love, now it is full of nothing more than hateful, evil people.

TO fail. It is sick that she gets rewarded for her irresponsibility, the the same people who are giving her all this praise are the first people to down down to other girls that do the same thing .

Perhaps it is more accurate to say the same ones who promote children getting pregnant condemn Bristol for getting pregnant. I'm surprised you don't love her. But then the big problem is that she is no longer a child and has matured accordingly, where the ones who crank out kids just to stay on welfare are more of the liking of an extreme leftist.

They need to remember that she was raped, while drunk.

It happens to a lot of girls, most get a lot of sympathy, Palin just gets MORE hatred and more hatred.

I haven't read the book but I did hear about it saying she had her virginity "stolen." Bristol said she was not raped but she had regretted the decisions she made.
