Half of this discussion disgusts me - the other half, at least, has made me think. The best part? Wow... people are actually "looking up stuff" that they didn't know.

Everything is educational - even this thread.

Hero, survivor, victim, media princess.... whatever. Either way she's been through a lot more shit than most of us will ever see in our entire lives and has survived. That at least deserves some respect - even if not the title of hero.

As far as the comment about women eating up this book for the 'Lifetime' set... remember not to generalize. We're not all card-carrying nazi shithead feminists looking for a new heroine to put on a pedestal and worship. Give the rest of us a little more credit. <_<

Kath... I went back and re-read the original thread on the other board that gave me the idea to post this here. I have to agree that for the most part there has been actual intelligent discussion and that is what I was really looking for. Not all of the crap that usually is accompanied by this type of thread. Agree or disagree the discussion has been interesting.


I like this place and think I will hang around.
