Beauty pageants

Who CARES? Beauty pageants are natures way of saying "You don't need an education to participate in a T&A show", and that's all they are. I liken them to NASCAR and Wrestling.

Punished?

I just watched the video where Prejean claims she was "punished" for exercising her freedom of speech and that "this should not happen in America." Well, sorry to tell you, doll, but that's other people exercising their freedom of speech and that DOES happen in America.

Oh, God

I can't believe anyone still watches pageants. That's absurd. And chicken cutlets are silicone inserts for one's bra.

Miss California

The fact that the pageant folks actually PAY for some of these women to have boob jobs makes this ALL THE MORE DISGUSTING!

While this "Barbie Doll" is touting her 'whole' values to everyone else, she's basically talking out of 2 sides of her own mouth. If she was raised in a truly Christian home, they would teach her that her body is a temple - somehow I don't think boob implants are part of that 'temple' theory.

Dumb blonde.....oops! Forgot! She's not REALLY a blonde either! Ha! Ha!

your home town

Jack, You did not and I repeat did not grow up in a small town unless 250,000 people is a small village in your mind. Huntington is only 32 miles from New York City. Your catholic faith seems to be disappearing like your memory I'm truly sorry to see it.

Carrie's Comments

The article is culurally bias and represents a minority view in this country on the gay marriage issue. While it may and will certainly change over time, currently the vast majority of states in this Union reject gay marriage. Carrie did not condemn gay marriage--she stood up for her belief that marriage is between a man and a woman. If she would have added "in the Bible, is was 'Adam and Eve' not 'Adam and Steve'", THAT would have come closer to condenming gay marriage. [Lol]

The fact that many are roundly demonizing her for expressing her opinion simple demonstates the closed-mindedness and intolorance of those who support this perverted concept and the venemous price they are trying to exact from her.

Get over it! Most in this country are against gay marriage. In fact, the majority of people in her own state are against it! Wasn't she simply reflecting the California mafority view? :-)

[ROTFLMAO]

FCC 1033770

Dear Maam/Sir:

Please note the band, Golden Earing, and their song, Radar Love. Maybe it has something to do with all the controversy over Miss California's Crown? Next thing you know, it will be a wash board at the river Nile, and a Pharoah basket with a Baby in it! Miss Carrie Prejean. We must have her srubbed and become a pair of Pre-washed Jeans!

As a monogamous, happily married man for 23 years, I have a daughter, who at one time, through a Sister and a Walt Disney VP, was going to model for that line, I understand the nature of her profession. It is good to see, that in this day and age, her values are still old fashion.

I remember when the silver screen used to say, "I'm a sucker for a pretty face." I have never seen America represented better, by a prettier face! The FCC tower stated, "The Pretty Lady...America." Keep your chin up, Carrie! "Man will be with woman, woman shall be with man." Stick to your guns, kid! Thank you.

Very Truly Yours,

Judging just as bad, if not worse, than immodesty

G,

Judging others with arrogance and hatred in your heart is also wrong in the Bible. In fact, if you read the story of the adulterous woman and the arrogant, hateful men about to stone her... Jesus had more compassion for her than for those arrogant men. He forgave the "sinner" (the woman) and literally saved her life.

I think it's pretty fitting to say that for the past few weeks, Carrie has been like that adulterous woman while P. Hilton, gays, and yourself have been like the arrogant men wanting to stone her. Jesus CONDEMNED these men because of their pride and arrogance.

For someone who "grew up" in church... you sure didn't learn much. If you had, you would not be judging and condemning her the way you are, and you would understand that your condemnation is far worse than her immodesty.

I'm a hypocrite too! :)

Lee, Nice to meet you. I'm a hypocrite too! :) And a sinner. And I'm saved by GRACE! Isn't that awesome? So many people just don't get it. They don't get that it's all about grace, mercy, and forgiveness, freely given by God and NO ONE is good (except Jesus). The enemy is working pretty hard these days. The story of Carrie Prejean shows how true that is. She has been so mistreated. It is appalling and unacceptable. But she carries herself with amazing strength and courage, and I really, really ADMIRE her!! I'm so glad to be in the same family with her, too! :)

All of us Christians are Hypocrites! Not just Carrie!

G you are right Carrie is a hypocrite just like every other christian who has ever walked this earth! I am a Christian but yet still every single day I fall short of how God wants me to live. The great thing is God is still going to allow me along with every other hypocritical Christian into heaven!

Give the girl a break, she is only trying to use the stage that God has given her to do good things and stand up for what she believes in!
