Son of Speck?

Do you see a resemblance? First thing I thought was, Speck!

It's just like getting your little boy started in little league down here.

It's sick. It teaches girls that you are only what you look like, not who you are inside. That's a hard enough thing to deal with when a girl is 18, it's impossible to process when you're six.

It needs to disappear. It's sexist, materialistic, and shallow. At least baseball has the potential to teach kids how to cooperate in team sports.

I am too. But, they acted very suspicious from the beginning. I have no problem that they hired lawyers, I would too, but I would fully cooperate with the authorities period. They did not.

My theory: I thought that an intruder came in while they were at the party and waited for everyone to go to bed. Then he took and killed JonBenet. Patsy found the body and assumed that one of the sons, or husband, had done it, so wrote the kidnap letter to throw suspicion away from her family to try to protect them while they all were still asleep. (But one of the polygraphs allegedly showed she knew nothing about who wrote the letter. Oh, well...)

Does you wife and daughters were burkas or are you more into the Amish or strict Mennonite apparel?
Child molesters are predators/hunters. They don't care how you dress up your kids or where you take them. Look at the sick religious creep that kidnapped the Mormon girl out in Utah a few years ago. He was doing gardening at her house, broke in during the middle of the night and abducted her right our of her bed in front of her sister. He dressed her and his girl fiend up in burka like robes. I guess he also had a problem with the way American girls and women dress.

Okay well... I've already explained myself further down this thread. I'm not going to keep repeating myself so have a nice day.

[cyborg]

Don't know and now I'm tired of this thread. I'm not answering anymore replies to my post if people don't bother to read the whole thread. Bye.

[cyborg]

I suppose. I wish I had the critical thinking skills I have now but that's life. Have a nice day.

Don't sweat it. People here on their high horses demanding apologies from those who suspected the Ramseys (for many good reasons, I might add) already have this Karr person tried and convicted, and the story isn't even 24 hours old. Pot meet kettle?

OK, so it's either burkas or Britney Spears, there's no middle ground for you?

Yes, I know all about child molesters, my ex married one, and I went to court twelve years ago to get custody of my two younger kids while she was contemplating doing this. I've studied it up one side, and down the other. While I think teaching a pre-school child to shake her booty like a stripper might just increase the exposure that a little girl has to predators, it always gives these children a perverse sense of reality.

It focuses the child's attention on her looks, and not her personality, or her willingness to study, or the value of all human beings. It turns otherwise decent girls into materialistic spoiled b!tches, who believe that acting a certain way for men is the way to get what you want. It inspires the less-than-picture-perfect others to emulate them with eating disorders, and self-esteem issues. They teach boys that what a girl looks like on his arm is way more important than her morals, values, brains, and disposition.

Even if all the child predators were killed (a great idea, in my estimation) there'd still be more than enough reason to get rid of child beauty pageants for the harm they do to our kids.

There's plenty of middle ground, your the one who slammed it hard to the wall. As far as your comment above, I grew up in an rural area where there were no beauty pageants, but somehow the girls that were destined to, learned how to act like scum and rise to the top of the swamp. Some were poor, some were rich, several were in between. The only thing they all had in common were bad manners and parents that didn't spend the right kind of time with them.
I am sorry to hear about your problems that you have gone though and hope all is back on track now.

shaking her bottom...much can be said about any school cheerleading squads!

Patsy Ramsey was a former beauty pageant queen. I can't remember which state.

A few years back there was an interesting interview that Barbara Walters did with the Ramseys. Something that came to light was that Patsy started JonBenet in the pageants following the recovery of stage four ovarian cancer. Her husband commented that he felt she did that because she was uncertain of how much time she had left to raise her daughter and wanted to share something that had been special to her with her daughter. Patsy said that that was true. Pageants had been a very wonderful experience to her, and she didn't know if her cancer would return soon. I can completely understand her thinking. pageants aren't my thing, but if I felt that I might only have five years or so left with my children, I would want to share significant experiences with them. It's amazing that Patsy lived as long as she did following that type of cancer. Certainly she never imagined that this choice might expose her daughter to harm, if that is even how the perp came to know of JonBenet.

[subterfuge]

You are mistaken.

Okay. I guess I'll have to take you at your word on that.
