I've finally figured out how to become successful in America
have an affair with someone who has been charged with killing his wife and child, then write a book.

Court TV and Fox have become the "Amber Frey Channel".

Maybe I can get them to name one for me, too.

5. LOL, that's
for sure! Although, in fairness to Amber Frey, I really do believe that she did not know Scott was married and his wife was pregnant until everything happened. Scott appeared to be very charming and smooth-talking and knew how to say the right things. And, as a single parent myself, I understand exactly how easy it is to meet someone like that and easily fall for them. And, to her credit, she went right to the police and fully cooperated with them and she appeared to be very upset at Scott, what happened, and her role in it.

9. Yeah, and this is only the "second" married man she had an affair with!
It isn't as though she makes a habit of it. And I see she has had yet another child .Interesting. I wonder whose it was.She claims not Scott. Busy little bee ,isn't she?
I also notice she got the makeover ala Paula Jones. These women make me ill! I don't think it is right that she makes money off the death of the woman whose husband she cheated with. Sorry, she is trash!

16. Well, I didn't know about the second
married man or that she'd had another child. But your comments show just a touch of sexism, don't you think? She didn't have an affair all on her own, and she didn't get pregnant and have a child all on her own, either. But I guess it's always all just the woman's fault, huh?

17. My take
yes, it is her fault for getting pregnant by a married man (if he is indeed the father).

It surely takes two to tango, but common sense and reality must prevail.

If I'm screwing someone who's married, the last thing I'm going to do is let him impregnate me.

19. "LET him impregnate me"?
LET HIM???? Jesus H. Christ, women don't "let" men impregnate them, it happens!!! Even if you're very careful, it still happens. I know that from first-hand experience.

My fiance and I were very careful with birth control, and I still ended up pregnant. Funny, he accused me of "letting myself" get pregnant, too. As if he'd had nothing to do with it. As if I'd just lay down on my back, grabbed sperm out of the air, and stuck it in myself. As if we hadn't been very careful, using both condoms and foam every single time. That is an incredibly sexist attitude, "letting" herself get pregnant, indeed. And the married man is equally at fault, no one made him screw her either.

20. whatever
If I sound sexist, so be it.

I take responsiblity for my pregnancies. That's just the way I look at it.

I'm appalled at the huge amount of out of wedlock pregnancies in the black community.

It has to end somewhere.

Everyone isn't as careful as you are.

A lot of these girls sneer at the very mention of birth control.

Speaking from experience here.

24. Excuse me, but what
about the male partners of those girls? Why is the focus only on WOMEN taking responsibility for their pregnancies? A lot of boys sneer at the very mention of birth control as well. It's an equal, two-way street as far as I'm concerned, and all I ever hear from people is how "the girls/women aren't responsible", or the "girls/women need to be accountable", or "the girls/women need to make better choices", etc., etc. Well, hell, WHAT ABOUT THE MEN? I ask again, WHAT ABOUT THE MEN? What about THEIR choices, THEIR refusal to use birth control, THEIR irresponsibility? Why is it only the WOMAN's responsibility???

26. whereas the male is responsible
and I'm not trying to downplay that responsibility, I stand by my ideology.

As I mentioned above, a lot of these girls spurn the thought of birth control.

If they don't want to be responsible for themselves, do you honestly think they demand it of their male partners?

27. Even if they "demand" it of their
partners, a lot of those partners want nothing to do with birth control and make that clear. I'm not trying to downplay the seriousness of out-of-wedlock births, either, I'm just saying responsiblity is an equal, two-way street, and all I ever hear about is how the woman is responsible/accountable for everything, never the men.

18.  Scott is a complete male whore. He is absolute scum!
Edited on Sun Jan-09-05 09:25 PM by saracat
but the fact that the man is a slime ball doesn't necessarily exonerate the woman! Why would you even infer that from my post? The thread was started about her. I am anything but a sexist. One woman shouldn't make money off of the death of another she helped to betray. If the situation was reversed , I would feel exactly the same. And obviously she didn't have the childern alone!

Edited on Sun Jan-09-05 08:19 PM by underpants
they sang that in a karoake bar the night they met AFTER he invited her up to his room while he took a shower and then pulled strawberrys and wine out of his "duffel bag".

Not quite as strange as O'Reilly but close.

I AM going to a bookstore to check out the 18 pages of Amber (with short hair) in lingerie.



I fear that the girl from "West Wing" will play her in a TV movie. I pray not, I like her.

ON EDIT-How's THAT for a recap?

it would be like missing a car wreck of a van of ice skaters and a van of child beauty queens.

7. never fear CatWoman
little mickey jackson`s trial is on the way and there is enough sick perverted tales to take up every minute of cable news. it will be jackson 24-7 for the foreseeable future. "smoking gun" website has some of the gruesome details of jackson`s perversions. it`s a good time to swear off television news or get dish and watch link,freespeech, the chinese cnn-cctv,and bbc america news.

12. Will it be trumped by the Eric Rudolph trial?
You know there is just so much coverage of the white supremeist gubment hating murderer (Ashcroft's crowd) like Wiliam Krar that it is hard to find out about the important issues of the day...you know the ones that apply to our lives or endanger them daily...like the McVeigh crowd GOD can we PLEASE stop hearing about them and what they kill people for?

14. speaking of cooking
I cooked all this food -- fried catfish, tossed salad with fava beans, mashed potatoes, yet I can't eat a single bite.

I'm so sad about Kef. Lost my appetite. :cry:
