I don't usually follow the "Scholarship Pageant" also know as the Miss America Pageant. Personally, I think that it's a waste of time, money and in some cases talent. I mean if you cant qualify for a scholarship the old fashioned way - you know by getting good grades in school, doing some community service, playing an instrument....you shouldn't be ale to parade your "looks" and get a space that some one who is a little (or alot) more qualified could have received...
is this is what we are teaching our daughters???
Anyways, this year the Miss America Pageant bombarded into my living room when the runner up - Miss California- Carrie Prejean decided to spew hate! Now don't get me wrong, I believe that everyone - even perky little blondes - have the right to express their opinions. That's not my problem. My problem is that she has not Tact!
Instead of choosing to say "no comment" she stood there with her fake boobs and decided to say "I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman." Do you think this or do you believe this?? You think you believe??
hmmmm very interesting... But Here's another question for you.. How do you feel about interracial marriages?? Is that a treat to "the Institution of marriage?" Are Homosexuals the reason why over 50% of MEN and WOMEN who marry eventually get divorced?? Are homosexuals the reason why Married Men cheat on their wives, have children with their mistresses and even infect them with STD's and possibly HIV/AIDS??
Miss. America... If you feel so strongly about marriage, why aren't you married??
Miss America, Do you remember when Blacks were not allowed to marry?? or better yet do you know why? Do you know whet the American Slave Code is/was?? Surely you know... let me tell you anyways. It was a "law" that stated the slaves could not marry. According to this document "The slave has no rights. Of course he, or she, cannot have the rights of a husband, a wife. The slave is a chattel, and chattels do not marry. “The slave is not ranked among sentient beings, but among things,” and things are not married.
“Slaves are not people, in the eye of the law."
Do you remember when miscegenation could have gotten you killed?? Wait, wait maybe I'm moving too fast do you even know what miscegenation is? Did you know that is wasn't until 1967 that a black and White person could legally marry??
How about the Holocaust?? Do you remember how the Jewish were stripped of the rights because they were "less than"??
Miss America, you didn't loose the pageant because of your response.. you lost the pageant because you have no tact, you have no love for humanity as a whole and you're full of hate; And that is not how America should be represented.

Is she Christian?I guess that would explain her response, seeing as the OT talks about mankind lying with mankind as an abomination.Or in the New Testament where it talks about men forgetting their 'natural' use etc.Maybe she's not hateful, just a Bible-believer, kinda.If that's where she's coming from then she should have made it clear that that's what she's basing it on,and also making it clear that it's the 'lifestyle' and not the people themselves...
