I don't know who would subject a mother to this kind of treatment. I don't know who would subject their own kind of mother to what transpired. Whatever happpened to the commandment of honoring one's parents? We're a society obssessed with how people look. Its sad we don't pay as much attention to people's character.

I agree with your whole post
To: toddlintown
Wow, you are something of an uberdebater, no? You really know how to hold up your end of the argument.
Here's a hint: Don't post stupid one liners, inviting further discussion, when you have nothing else to bring to the table. Sheesh

Subject? They were going to give her a free makeover, probably worth $100,000. We pay attention to people's character, it's just easier to be good looking. You can say it doesn't matter, but we all know it does.

Breach of contract is breach of contract, and ABC should be held accountable for that. The rest of the charges are far too murky to prove. They'll settle out of court, that's my bet.

Maybe FOX can pick up a reality show based on this lawsuit.
Egads, I hope there are no FOX executives on this board.

Yes... the kind of beauty celebrated by TV is skin deep. True beauty is the kind most people sadly can't see.

Wow. That might be ust a little too close for me, but again, you are lucky.
To: Fierce Allegiance
My family is nowhere even close to being close, friend wise and geographicallyI'm in the same boat. My sister and I haven't lived anywhere near each other in over fifteen years.
I wish I had a close relationship with her, but when we're together, we have a huge fight two days after we see each other. It's like clockwork.
I love her, but I guess there are too many "issues," relating to our parents, that we'll never be able to get past.
To: WillamShakespeare
To be or not to be: that is the question, whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer... or to take up arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them? ... When she herself might her quietus make with some drugs and a little cocaine.

To: proud American in Canada
I can't really blame my parents, (I've never seen them figh, only civil arguement) except that if there was a fight, we never talked it out.
My siblings all treat me like the black sheep. I guess it's because I went military out of highschool, then worked blue collar several years before going to college. Now, I only have a bachelors degree, when all have there masters, and one is a PhD with his JD. I have not had much published, either.
The fact I drink (quit a month ago) smoke cigarettes and have a heavy-duty temper are also contributing factors.
When we get together, it's always in hotels or disney so we can escape when necessary.
To: Hildy
I'm willing to bet she signed away any legal rights to sure ABC. She is going to the press to generate sympathy, perhaps justly so.
I don't feel any sympathy for the sister who killed herself after she was so willing to trash her sister on national television.

To please the producers, Williams' mother-in-law also laid it on thick. "She said things like 'I never believed my son would marry such an ugly woman.' " Nice family.

And yet every single one of us knows or has known someone that may have not been attractive at first meeting but as we got to know them became damn attractive because of their personality and attitude about life. Where is the TV show for these people? Wasn't that the 'Larry the Cable Guy' special?

To: conservative cat
I think, and there are always exceptions, that once they are grown they will get along great. Of course you and I will be the common factor in what they talk about, as in how awful we are, but I can live with that. Well, for tonight anyway. Hahahaha
