good on that girl for being true to herself, but yeah, probably not the best forum for doing so when Miss USA or whatever is supposed to be unifying, not alienating.

rofl What was she SUPPOSED to say then when asked that question? Lie to the guy and say something like, "yeah I think gay marriage should be accepted by all states." The retarded queer shouldn't have asked her such a politically-charged question, which was completely out of order. She responded exactly as she should have.

is "retarded queer" really called for?
anyway, i think there are ways that she could've stated her position without drawing lines in the sand. if you know it's a particularly polarizing topic, state your feelings but then wrap it up with something diplomatic: "personally, i was raised to believe x, but people are free to feel however they want to feel and it's up to the politicians to make the final call" or something like that. that way, she's being honest about her beliefs but not stepping on any toes. *shrug* just a thought.

anyway, yes the answer is pussified, but that's just kind of the situation, you know? pageant contestants kind of have to be cautious and diplomatic like a campaigning political candidate. state your position, but don't alienate anyone. be opinionated without being polarizing. just my thoughts, anyway.
and hey, i said it earlier but i'll say it again: good on her for being true to herself!! i just don't think she should be shocked that it didn't work out the way she thought it would. and maybe now that this has happened, maybe next year there won't be such politically charged questions that put these poor girls on the spot like that and we can go back to maps and like such as.
Yes, "retarded queer" was completely called for

Just don't wonder why people don't take you seriously on this board. And quite frankly i'm surprised that you throw the word "retarded" around with a kid on the way. You should stop.

That made no sense.
I take that one of two ways.
1) Karma. Stop calling people retarded or you'll have yourself your own retard.
2) Get in the practice of watching your mouth or just always speaking kindly. Unless you want your own child to grow up a douche.
