I bet they both vote Democrat.

Like I said, Hilary Duff's also been in front of the cameras her whole life and all she's ever done is call Waldorf ghetto (which she wouldn't know ghetto if it came out and slapped her in the face twice).

You found the perfect thread to post in Andy! Girl Talk!

I don't think she was celebrated or made to look like a role model but I also don't really follow her life like that. I certainly don't think she should have been "shunned by society"...that's just laughable IMO.

Not condoning unwed teen mothers Yes, having a child when you're a teenager is not ideal. They are still children themselves, yes. Should they marry "for the sake of making sure the child isn't a bastard"? No, not IMO.

For the "blender" comment...

Remember, this is my opinion and you have yours. Opinions are like @$$holes, everyone has one, I just think yours stinks

My points wasn't against Walmart in particular, it was to point out that the pictures (most) were posed for. That means sought after, and specifically determined to be worthwhile by the magazine publishing them - not just papparazzi springing shots of her. Her people and magazine publishers/editors took the time to share her story, celebrate it if you will, with the general public.

See, that's the point. So, the "shunned by society" comment is in regards to the question of how to treat an unwed teenage mother. Do we celebrate the fact that she's done this thing, or do we simply tolerate it, or do we actively try and make sure others don't see it as a good thing by treating her actions with the appropriate level of disdain by ensuring she feels an appropriate level of shame for her actions. See, by celebrating her pregnancy, that puts not only a level of tolerance, not only a level of acceptance, but a level of pride in what she's done. We're paying her money and setting her on a pedestal, celebrating her misdeed.

So, should she and he marry for the sake of the child? Well, that wouldn't be my first choice. My first choice would be that she and he weren't so stupid and irresponsible in the first place. Again, she's demonstrated and then been celebrated for bringing a child into this world, and not only (by example) told little girls that this is an action to be proud of, she's then demonstrating to little boys that fathers are not necessary day to day in a child's life, because the father of her child isn't worthy of marriage.

Do I think that one pop tart "actress" can cause all of this herself? Of course not. It's the society that pays for the magazines, doesn't condemn the magazines or the little tart or her sperm donor, and the multitude of times this crap happens and gets defended (didn't Murphy Brown start this whole conversation? )

As for ing me for talking about the blender, what did I say that was wrong?

You may think my opinion stinks, but that doesn't make me incorrect.

Was K-Fed?

Let's compare Britney's actions to Lindsey Haun (who actually has talent) and some of the other teenaged popstars.

Hilary Duff didn't go trying to kill herself when she and Joel Madden split up.

Speaking of whom, is he still dating Paris (or Nicole, whichever one it was)?

"Whiskey Lullaby". Anything with the angel Allison is ALWAYS good.

At least Paris Hilton manned up and did her time. And she actually went to full blown jail.

I have not heard of this Lindsey person of whom you speak.

K-Fed and she dated for much longer than 2 hours...

And I'm no expert on pop culture, but I believe they are still dating.

Record the date, time and temperature. Me and t_p actually agree on something for once.

I love that song, sad as it is.

Now we're on "Please Forgive Me" by Bryan Adams.
