I think the fact that i read it in haste made me confused! <br /><br />Anyways, I keep hearing lots of things about Barbie and now she's saying gay people are the root cause of paedophilia (spelling?!). I mean, is she a fucking retard? Seriously now, ignorant people will listen to her stupidity and start harming gay people. I can't stand ignorance. I'm fuming. Fuming!Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04152803362923785129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184562380062162084.post-86227216891934673672009-04-26T20:18:00.000+01:002009-04-26T20:18:00.000+01:00Oops Lou, I'm sorry I wrote it in haste as my 2 ye...Oops Lou, I'm sorry I wrote it in haste as my 2 year old monster decided to drag me somwhere. What I meant she stated that her country allows gay marragies which is politically correct, but in the next sentence she said it was actually wrong. To me it is a hidden contradiction. That first sentence sounded to me rather like something she was told to say. That's all. Didn't come out as I wanted or i just read it wrong lolLibertinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10060928203262595846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184562380062162084.post-27384082697857411022009-04-26T12:31:00.000+01:002009-04-26T12:31:00.000+01:00Grr, it makes me so angry when people try to say w...Grr, it makes me so angry when people try to say what they think should be said, and then completely turn it around to contradict themselves.

From what I understand she also stated at the end of all that, "I'm not politically correct, i'm biblically correct."<br /><br />I think that about says it all.

Having never watched a beauty pageant EVER, i assumed those political/cultural type questions were always asked, you know, to fool the audience into thinking they aren't actually watching a tacky battle of the beauty contest but something culturally important!

Like you said, one can argue that it is her democratic right to voice her opinion, even if it's an unpopular one, but at the same time it isn't fair to demonise a wide segment of the population over an issue which is so personal and (let's face it) nothing to do with her, really - does it matter that some man wants to marry another man? It's not affecting her glossy little existence if someone completely separate to her chooses to marry their own sex, after all.<br /><br />I agree with the other 2 commenters though, I'm not sure why the question was asked in what was supposed to be a beauty pageant.Afternoon Tea Breakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10447123879264117463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184562380062162084.post-55563998157465372482009-04-22T05:14:00.000+01:002009-04-22T05:14:00.000+01:00I thought she was sabotaged!!!

There was ab...I thought she was sabotaged!!! <br /><br />;)<br /><br />There was absolutely no way to answer that question without alienating a huge segment of the population. The issue is very polarizing, AND, the proponents vs the opponents are BOTH very strong and big entities (Prop 8 is a good example of this).<br /><br />So, I think there was no way to answer that question correctly. I feel that Perez wanted 1 very particular answer ("I support gay marriage"), in order to make the Miss USA pageant a political commercial. <br /><br />And really, I don't think the Miss USA pageant is appropriate for that. As you said, it's a form entertainment based on objectifying women and beauty. You really want them being spokespersons for a cause you feel passionate about?<br /><br />P.S. I didn't watch the pageant, by the way. I'm WAY hotter than all those competitors. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184562380062162084.post-89444300465225230772009-04-22T02:13:00.000+01:002009-04-22T02:13:00.000+01:00I have always wondered why gay marriage is an issu...I have always wondered why gay marriage is an issue for people to be honest. What does it matter to me what my neighbour does? Yet, it does seem to be on people's minds. My first reaction is why eve ask 'Barbie" the question in the first place? <br /><br />Everyone is allowed to have their opinion although I completely understand the frsutration that occurs when certain people voice them!<br /><br />Equal rights is a good thing.<br /><br />BJRBernard J Rossihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00122277048539181743noreply@blogger.com
