I can remember being in high school listening to a social worker take aside a young woman who was hearing impaired who had about 4 kids but custody of none ...
sorry for hjacking but to correct you again, please read this - and address us as deaf, not by this offensive term, hearing impaired. and this is for everyone who doesn't know too.
thank you. :)
I knew you would jump on that -Quote:

another thought on this thread, the best philo is - speak after you know the whole story so either that way; good or bad this person wouldn't be more trashed as you can tell how and why she is now.
"jump on that" - colloquial expression for "immediately respond to that one point"Quote:

Why don't we have a mandatory s/n law for celebs???
My 'deaf' cousin and his 'deaf' wife do NOT like the term 'disabled' although now politically correct.Quote:

I too have a 'disability' and do NOT like to be called 'disabled'. I AM a ABLE body person, I just cannot do as much as I like.
There are no "handicaps" except the ones we accept - and I accept none in my life.
that's a good thought b/c Tom Cruise would be at the top of my list, then Nicole Ritchie and Paris Hilton.....Quote:

RICHARD,
That's a new one on me.Quote:
Nay-nay???
BC123,
There are FAR more rude words than "skank".
Whether it's true or not, to not know who the father is has got to be the sickest thing ever. Goodness, I know accidental pregnancies happen all the time, but how sad to have multiple partners and not know who the father is. That's just so nasty. Yuck!
Well since none of us live in her shoes, I guess it's a good thing to just be glad we aren't her with all or her "apparent" issues. I also have to say if it was published in a tabloid, why are you beleiving it? They also report on cat/human babies and giant marshmallow men from outer space....they aren't real either. If the poor girl has truly ended up in that situation with her bad choices, I can only feel sorry for her, not judge her. She obviously has a lot going on, and most of it seemingly not good.

That isn't on of the "7 words you can't say on television'- or is it?
---------------------
BS having the money to have kids is the point that splits this thread in half.
Yep, she does have the means to care for them, but at what cost to the kids?
A driver, nanny, cook and make up artists as stand in parents? In 12-14 years those kids are going to suspect that she isn't a paragon of virtue and isn't your 'average mom'.
---------------------
If Spears had a brain cell or two (or had someone in her immediate circle of family or friends that would be able to clue her in)m they'd tell her to hide out for a few years, raise her kids and then try again.
She really had a career?
She brings all the news, mostly bad, on herself-at the moment she is a real life cartoon. On display for our wonder, scorn and amusement.
----------
The giant marshmallow man was not from outer space-He was the Sta-Puft man from the movie Ghostbusters. He explodes in the movie.
And BAT BOY is real. I see him everytime I watch a baseball game.
The Chupacabra is a phoney.
Yeeps, I didn't know she already had children. And that there might be a fetal alcohol syndrome issue too, that is so sad.
Boy this thread has taken several turns -
the issue of the thread
people with disabilities and the right or wrong term to address them
NO NO underwear
and now back to the issue of the thread.
I think I was more shocked at some of the comments made and skank wasn't one of them....
Would any of you be saying it about your daughter that her legs spread better than Peanut Butter if she ended up pregnant and didn't know who the father was? I doubt it. And remember it takes 2 to tango so there is a guy out there that doesn't know he's going to be a daddy (possibly) either. So what's that saying for him? I am sure Brit wasn't the only person he was with either, Apparently he's no saint either.
Its easy to throw stones when you don't live in a glass house....
And Richard you can BS my money comment all you want b/c I know you've done your fair share of BS'ing in your life too.
:eek: ;) I've met you! I know!
LOL, I meant BS as in Britney Spears.....Quote:
