The Britney Spears Saga

[Mason]

Yes, some do take enjoyment from it, and it's wrong. But if Britney were handling this PRIVATELY, she wouldn't have to suffer the public spotlight and accompanying humiliation. Unfortunately for her, she's not.

[Skin]

I have never seen Britney as a publicity whore. I think overall the public is just too damn hard on that girl. She parties alittle after she just had a divorce and she is evil for doing that but there are several other million people in the world partying and doing the same exact thing and the public isn't commenting anything on them. Honestly if Britney is in trouble then us commenting on what a train wreck she is isn't going to help her.

She doesn't have a private life. She goes to get the mail and theres an [!@#$%^&*] in the bushes taking a picture.

[Shawn]

Thank you for getting my point.

[Mason]

She's a mother. She doesn't need to be out partying and whatnot. She needs to be at home taking care of her kids. But is that what she's doing? No, it isn't.

[Skin]

I agree with Alky here. Britney doesn't have a private life and I don't think it's a fair arguement to say that she should just stay in her house all the time.

[Mason]

And I'm not blaming that on her. But when she knowingly makes herself available for media scrutiny, then she's not totally blameless.

[Mason]

I'm not saying she should be a shut in, but she doesn't need to be going wild when she's out in public.

[Skin]

So parents aren't aloud a little time off? They aren't allowed to have alittle bit of fun after a divorce and after two years and excess of staying home and taking care of everyone? Parent's aren't allowed alittle time off? Geez.

[Mason]

I've already responded to this. YES, she should have time to herself. But should she spend it acting like a crazy person with no inhibitions? No. The fact is is that she's a public figure, so she needs to take that into consideration.

[Shawn]

With all due respect, you're doing just what I said is wrong with people. You are judging her. You do not KNOW HER.

[Mason]

I'm not judging her. I'm stating the facts that I would say about anyone else.

[Skin]

But she isn't even allowed to do the most mundane things we all do. She isn't allowed to take her son to the park because 50 papparazzi go and follow her and try to take pictures of her and record her. She isn't allowed to do anything without being hounded and scrutinized. I don't even think what she is doing is wild here. She is getting a damn hair cut and she is being hounded for that.

Every night though?

I hate to do this, I sincerely do, but if we were all in the hood and it was a black girl partying into the wee hours of the night, drugged out and flashing her cooch, almost dropping her kid, driving with him in the front seat, DHS would be called so fast. And deservedly so.

It's not completely wrong to make the assesment that she is out of control. That's not judging. It's plain as day, but as the good scirpture always says- a wise man will know a tree by the fruit that it bears.

Can we all agree that she's crying out for help at least?

[Shawn]

The facts that you are stating aren't completely facts. You are pulling facts from pictures and gossip columns.
