When are we going to have Gabrielle and Patrice as guests on the same show? I would give up a kidney for that. The working one.

- I don't give two shits for Heather McCartney or her motivation but all the stuff she wants to do sounds good to me. All that lame "an eyewitness said" and "sources said" and "a friend told us" bullshit they always pull can get fucked.
If you're going to print it you should back it up, and if you print an apology or retraction for some lie you've told then it should be in every paper you print for the next five editions and it should be bigger than the original story and the editor should have to wear nappies and have daschunds gnaw their genitals off. Fuck you liars. - The Kid-Nation thing is getting less fun every show because it sounds more contrived every show. Even the kid is starting to lose adorable points now she knows she's a KATG star. Quit rooning her entertainment value Michael C. - Everything else on the show ruled. Last edited by Bucho; 11-09-2007 at 08:03 PM. |

Yeah, I disagree with Patrice on this one, too. Whether or not Heather Mills benefits from it is not that significant. If some little girl at school was being bullied by some kid, and that girl started saying there should be a rule against bullying, should we really ignore it because - you know - she's just wants it for selfish reasons, and therefore, we can ignore her complaint. That's pretty poor reasoning. A lot of movements have happened because the people who were being treated unfairly stood up and fought against it. The fact that they benefited from the changes doesn't discredit their campaign.
It was also funny to hear Patrice try to take the paparazzi/gossip magazine's side of the issue. She's wrong, and it's easy to see why she would have a bias in picking sides. |

Someone needs to get Michael C.'s wife to call in. That would rap up this whole saga very nicely, or in a very ugly way. Either way, it would be fun as hell.
Oh, and I don't like the schoolyard girl argument. Too simple. How about this: the little girl has been picked on for years, but she never reported it. Now, she gets a bad grade on a report card and suddenly wants the entire school district to put a ban on bullying. Eh? What do you think? |

Your case about the little girl on the playground would be more comparable if the little girl didn't tell anybody for months about what was happening, documented every occassion of bullying and then walked up to the principle of her school saying that bullying should be stopped because she's been bullied for months and nothing's been done about it. |

I'm with Blitzgal. It's the same as saying that women and blacks were selfish for trying to get equal rights. The belief that someone would spend their whole life fighting a cause strictly on priciple is completely out of touch with reality. Yes, a few people do fight on principle. Very, very, few, as in the exeption, not the rule.
Yes, there are clear differences in the scale and impact of those fights and the "crusade against bad journalism," but the opposing argument fails against itself here, because the PRINCIPLE is what equivocates them: someone who is wronged should stand up and fight it as best they can, going so far as to change the laws so that they, and consequently EVERYONE, won't be wronged again. I must admit my own bias. I'm partial to Heather Mills because I too was a model, and I lost my left leg in a boating accident. While in the hospital, I met and later married the singer/songwriter Jewel. We had four wonderful years together until I finally listened to one of her albums, and it's been a biiter divorce battle ever since. Don't believe that bitch's lies! |

Further, apparently, your conclusion is that bullying *shouldn't* be stopped? Anyway, from what I've read, the Press Complaints Commission is pretty toothless - it has no legal power, cannot impose fines, the media can choose whether or not they want to be affiliated with the PCC, they voluntarily adhere to the rulings, and the newspapers can get away with publishing corrections buried somewhere in the paper and 5% of the size of the original article. PCC "rulings" seem to involve publishing a retraction and writing a letter of apology. It seems to exist mainly so the media can self-police itself, but that also means it has no actual power. It seems reasonable to suggest that Heather Mills accurately believed the PCC couldn't and wouldn't do anything for her.
