Obviously not. But remember that she never asked for any of this to happen to her. TMZ and its despicable star has made it his (her) personal vendetta to destroy her because she has her beliefs. Despite the fact that the left has supported TMZ and has truly outdone itself digging into her most private affairs, she isn't going to back down. I don't condone some of what she has done but as she has said, she was young and she was stupid and never imagined it woudl hurt her later in life. I guess that makes her like about 30 million other teenagers on social networking sites.

The people of TMZ are just trash. They thrive on the failure and misfortune of celebrities. Anybody who thrives on misfortune always gets theirs in the end. Fate and Karma always make sure it serves you a crap sandwich ten times the size of the one you fed to the world.
It is one thing to condemn someone for the viewers but.. it is another to go all out and attempt to destroy the person for speaking their mind. People have a right to their opinions regardless if they are politically correct or not. The homosexually does nothing more than hurt their own image when they throw a fit about offensive speech. I know If I were homosexual, I would never take myself so seriously that I got mad every time somebody called me a name or criticised my lifestyle. I would live my life the same as I do now. I have thick skin. I do not sweat the small stuff. I treat everyone how I like to be treated. I do not make time for people that just make life hell. My mission in life is to make as many friends as possible regardless if they have my beliefs or not. I believe you can never have too many friends. You never know when the person you may hate for some stupid reason will be your hero. |

I refer that as the "two fools and a camera" event. There are sex tapes all over the place like that. She is saying that she made the video to send to her then boyfriend - no one else was involved. Years later (long after the relationship ended), the tape has surfaced. She says he sold it, he apparently says he doesn't know how it got out there.
Personally, I don't see anything morally wrong with what she did. It turned out to be foolish but there are many thousands of men carrying around videos/photos of their wives and girlfriends, even ex girlfriends, who would never share them. But some would. And when you are young, you sometimes are too trusting. The moral reprobate in this instance is the one who released the tape and the ones who are circulating it. I see this kid as a victim. The same people who think a woman can walk down the street naked and be immune from rape because she is a victim, for some reason frequently don't see the same logic should apply if a young person foolishly trusted someone with a sex tape. If someone in a scanty skirt isn't asking for it, why would someone who shared a video with someone she loved be somehow asking for this kind of grief? |

Oh I don't think there is anything morally wrong with making sex tapes, and she is certainly entitled to hate on whomever she wants. It was just mind numbingly STUPID of her to side with god, jesus, and "morality," knowing that she had such skeletons in her OWN closet.
She's just not pretty enough to get by on her looks being THAT stupid. Oh well lol. |

Being a god loving christian does not mean you have a life free of mistakes and stupid decisions. I never heard Prejean say that all homosexuals should be punished or something like that. She just stated she did not agree with gay marriage. To me that is just like a vegatarian saying they do not approve of people that eat meat.
I think too many people take a opinions too seriously these days. Opinions are opinions and nothing more. Some people prefer mayonnsaise, some prefer mustard while others prefer horseradish. Do people fight over condiments? No. I think society could save itself a lot of grief by gaining a little self esteem and learning to ignore the small things that irriate them. Learn to pick your battles, fight actions not opinions. Bottomline the moral to our story is... Never do anything in front of a camera that will come back and haunt you later. |

It depends, actually. Did Bush prefer mayonaise and is Obama a mustard fan? If the subject comes up on the message board, I'm betting someone can find an angle to get into an argument over it.

FWIW, I agree the scadal media is a terribly dirty business. I sometimes feel a little guilty just looking at the headlines while in line at walmart. On the other hand, I love a good distraction as much as the next human and I pay more attention to the dirt of the rich and famous than I would sometimes like. However, one needs to understand the water cooler gossip, right?
Ms. Prejean has been enormously self-righteous about her loss of the pageant and continually has presented herself as a christian martyr. I believed from the beginning she was playing this silly but fascinating event that for money. Seeing the how quickly the christian right was coming to her defense, she adopted the well paying role of professional "witness" to rake in the easy money on the fundamentalist speaker's circuit. Throw into the mix her book and you have a small, quick fortune and fame of a sort many people are willing to trade their dignity for. To ronnie's defence, if Prejean, as America's Best Christian, had committed one incident of poor judgement, she might seem less venal and greedy to me. However, it is clear to me she is merely a Grady County stripper in Aimee Semple Mcpherson's gowns. I don't wish shame and humiliation on too many people. However, if you are going to present yourself as the great white crusader for all that is good, wholesome, and christian, it might be nice if your life actually reflected that. |

So much for accusing the conservatives of being sanctimoneous, self righteous prigs. I think we all know who the ones are that are will to give the benefit of the doubt and compassion. Politics trumps humanity, for many.

Oh I'm not at all happy with Obama on gay rights issues, Fire. NOT. AT. ALL.
It's just sometimes we have to take the bitter with the sweet, and come next primary, I will likely support someone more progressive/liberal on social issues. |

"Young women should resist the pressures of popular culture and of sex. Our bodies are temples of the Lord. We should earn respect and admiration for our hearts, not for showing skin to look sexy." - Carrie Prejean, from her memoir Still Standing.
I'm assuming she wrote this after she appeared in that self-sex video. Do as I say, not as I do. Stupid bimbo got busted. Whatever. |

I am not religious but IMO she IS a Christian martyr because she has had to withstand a viscious organized effort of destruction of her personal life all for telling what she believes in. If there is a criticism to make at her it is that she didn't admit right out what she had done but in retrospect, I don't imagine anyone who was not out looking for publicity would have just up and said, "Look, I've done naked pictures and I've done a sex tape but now I have my beliefs." She said she had done things she regretted. It was the TMZ folks and other left wing folks who went looking for dirt to dig up on her. Remember, she never asked for any of this to happen. She simply participated in a beauty pageant and was intentionally asked a question that became controversial. Quote:
She's got to make a living and she has chosen to do it in a way that invites further attacks from the left. Quote:

Prejean: if she was on trial would have prejury herself..
She 1st claimed she didnt do anything immoral. Then the tape was made by her boyfriend at the time and she was 15 years old. Now its her who made it and now she was 20 years old. When you stand up for morality and spoke with..well lets face it with a double standard. You are gonna get slapped. I dont like her for her lies, I am sure she has other skeletons in her closet. You can either bring them out, with humility or someone would bring them out amidst great embarrassment to you. Or finally, my way: is to learn to remodel the closet, and use those skeletons as decor. lol |

So what's the point you ask? If you live in a glass house and don't want your Christianity shattered when you throw the moral rocks, you need to STFU before you open your mouth in the first place. Quietly go to church, quietly consume your booze, quietly engage in all the premarital sex you please. But if you don't want your religion thrown back in your face, you had best think carefully about what you say and who you say it to, especially in a public venue. Personally I'd love to see Miss Prejean butt nekkid and jiggling. I think she should pose for Playboy, Penthouse and Hustler while working the strip club circuit....sell that booty for all it's worth. There'll be plenty of Christian business men out of town on "business" that will be patronizing those strip clubs and magazines who would greatly appreciate lusting over that wholesome naked Christain body. |

She has a hard time recounting events from her life..where i came from that means a liar.I doubt she suffers from Dementia. The only way you are going to get a higher standard is call a person on it. Just like journalism, education, government, law enforcement, dont sit there and let someone who wants the fame or the pedestal of notoriety slide in there. |

Second, do you think she is going to volunteer this type of information - really? "Oh, I've done naked pictures and a sex tape, but thats in my past." She fully stated she had done things she wasn't proud of when the pics first came to light. Quote:

The bottom line is that she never asked for any of this to happen. She was simply in a beauty pageant and was, likely intentionally, asked a question about a very controversial question by someone who had a vested interest in the answer. She was set up. The rest is simply heat she has taken due to an intentional effort to publicly destroy her simply because she has been firm on her beliefs. |

I agree, she shouldn't have been in the pageant in the first place due to the morals clause in the contract - thus she was relived of her duties - but she was intentionally set up for what happened to her by Mr. TMZ - it just got bigger than they expected. And, I DID bother to think it out, I said "Her mistake, which is her biggest mistake, is that she entered this pageant knowing what she had done yet signed papers saying she had never done them." gotta run |
