Miss USA California Responds To Gay Marriage - Page 3

Unlucky to get this question or not it all comes down to the fact that the original question had no right answer at all. Even the person asking the question can not truly answer it. Why should any person have to answer a question that is clearly one that your wrong no matter how you answer? I think the questions that can be asked at these competitions should be screened and approved by a board before they can be asked. This way we are not setting up one person for failure.

Actually, I do not agree with that. There is an answer, how it is taken is largely based on HOW it is answered. I would have said something like:

"That is an excellent question given that it is an important issue among many in each State, and thanks to the freedom we have in the USA each State can choose for themselves which way they wish to go."

That answer would have fulfilled everyone because there is nothing to argue there.

Even with that answer she would have been wrong since that does not answer the question as it is too vague therefore she would have lost for that too. Plus the person asking the question would have gone off on her for thinking that we all have the freedom to choose.

That is a neutral answer and that is how they are supposed to answer, in other words diplomacy is encouraged. Keep in mind that the competition is NOT about solving problems, it is about how you HANDLE the questions. If we look for beauty competitions for answers to world problems then we are all doomed. The idea here again is how does she handle DIFFICULT questions. The question could be on ANY difficult or controversial issue.

To prove my point, Miss California went to an interview where they asked her how they are taught to answer the question, and she agreed that they are taught to be neutral, but then added that she wanted to change that. That is her mistake! Once you enter a competition with guidelines you follow those guidelines, not decide what they should be. Therefore she had the 'answer' for the question, but chose not to give it because she wanted to 'change' how its all done.

Correct, adding as well that she did NOT answer the question so not only she did not answer in a "neutral" way because according to her she wanted to change that but it seems she also wanted to change the question since what she answered is completely different to what it was asked.

Well in all the beauty pageant contestants defense I do not think they are picked to run in the pageant for their smarts.

Oh that's a low blow to all the beauty out there KNtoran and some may say you are stereotyping. I actually believe that answering questions weighs heavily in competitions because after all the pomp and ceremony is done the sponsors are essentially 'stuck' with whomever is chosen. No point in burning beauty wit little to say. Bringing it back to the Topic, no way they would want to send Miss California among other fashion related people since the industry is saturated with many who are gay or are in favor with being gay. Nevertheless, let us not forget that Perez is the real fool here having no diplomacy and very little to represent others who may 'think' as he does.

My only issue with this is that it is a contest where all should have a equal chance and that there is nothing inherent within the pageant that hinders any one candidate. This question definitely tilted the balance as best I could see that no other candidate got a question equally as loaded. I would be better at ease if the answer to the question would have been worth double that of her competitors...but even the "right" answer to the question would have offended someone. This is why we argue about it endlessly today. This idea of neutrality satiating everyone is folly. Do homosexuals think that it was alright for California to vote for Prop 8? Ask Perez...he will know the answer.

These women do work hard to get to this level and to have some jerk judge (who's inability to find beauty in a great deal that doesn't follow his political agenda is very well documented) ambush them is unfair to say the least. Did she deserve to win? The top ones were all qualified, but she certainly deserved an equal shot with a equally as difficult question.

Putting Hilton on the bench definitely got spin on the contest, but it also pretty well hurt this young lady and that is truly unfortunate.
