1. I've seen trailer trash like that my whole life
they have no class, no remorse and no conscience.

3. Agreed.
She is most likely now a guest speaker on the KKK circuit.
Bragging to other white trash about her actions, signing
autographs.

7. Excuse me, but I am very much offended by the term "trailer trash."
I live in a mobile home and I do not consider myself trailer trash. And most people who live in mobile home parks are not ignorant, beer-guzzling, foul-mouthed rednecks. The people who live in my park are mostly hard-working young couples with children and also retired people. Why is it that those who live in mobile homes degraded?

13. Forget it.........
its a lost cause. There are folks on this board who will never admit to, or apologize for their classist statements. They claim to be liberal, their words show them differently.

16. Fine, then how about the term "white trash?"
More generic, and certainly fills the bill.

19. She's white, and she's trash, but 'white trash' is a very loaded term.
'Scum' does it for me. 'Waste of DNA' (whether inbred or not) also works.

21. How about we lay the blame where it belongs..........
Edited on Fri May-07-04 02:07 PM by foamdad
on England and all her accomplices. I don't see why we have to classify these folks one way or the other. Those classifications are just insults, and serves no other purpose than to make the one giving the insult feel superior.

20. Actually I apologize
you are right. No use to denigrate trailer dwellers under any circumstance. Please accept my apology.

2. She's waiting for the National Enquirer $250K offer...
"To spill the beans"

5. I have twisted views about this one
Although I think she is a twisted horror of a woman I can't help thinking about her stereotypical trailer trash back woods upbringing (I'm not trying to flame bait here-just repeating how she has been catagorized in the media)

In some weird way I feel sorry for her and her lack of education and experience about what this country is truely about. I feel sad for her lack of moral judgement and fortitude to do the right thing regardless of the situation and intrinsic pressures.

Oh shit I'm just a bleeding heart.....but she needs to go to jail and reflect on her actions for a very long time

18. Pity her child, not her
She's pregnant by one of the other accused torturers. She definitely needs to do some serious time.

What a mess.

6. She is to the military what Martha Stewart was to guilty CEOs.
Ok, here are my two cents and I've been kicking this about in my head since last night.

Martha Stewart: guilty, and brought to justice quickly so we'd think that the system works, justice is done and the problem is solved. Meanwhile, other CEOs far more guilty still elude justice. And only a few people even said "What about Ken Lay?"

Lynndie England: guilty, and exposed quickly so we'd rein in the abuses of the military in an evil and illegal war and think the system works and the problem is solved. Meanwhile, we've forgotten about the DynCorps, the Blackwater USAs, and other mercenaries who might be guilty but there's no provision for how to deal with war crimes not committed by soldiers. Is anyone looking at the abuses contractors might be complicit in, or just the ones involving actual USA military personnel?

Last week we were all disgusted and rightfully so by the contractors. Lynndie England diverted us this week, the same way Martha Stewart diverted us from Ken Lay.

8. She'll prolly end up like Ollie North
getting $25,000 per speaking engagement to brag about how she broke the law to "protect" Murka.

9. She'll probably be bearing the full weight
of the Republican smear machine soon. It helps Bush if she and her buddies are seen are aberrant psychos, going off the rails in spite of the clean, well-run show in Iraq.

14. She needs to be prosecuted and put away along with all the others
but you've gotten a lot of responses that make me very angry.

People: Cut out the "trailer trash" & "white trash" shit. If she were an African American, would you be calling her a nigger?

23. I dunno, I believe she thinks she was avenging 9/11. . .
when she was doing those things before the camera.

She was probably fed that load of crap by the higher-ups over why she was sent to Iraq.

While I'd throw the book at her and her colleagues, I'd also offer her the chance for commuting her punishment in return for incriminating evidence against her "superiors" or the intelligence people who were also involved.

24. I'll just bet that...
She's getting "Hard", just thinking about the erotic scenes in the prison. I would love to see the roles reversed.
