How Bad is AMY to say she "LOVES Natural Disasters??!!"
What555456 | Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 09:39 pm     I too love natural disasters. Does that mean I love to see people kiled or their homes destroyed? No, not at all. But the awesome power of nature is one of the most fascinating things this world has to offer. I am far from a fan of Amy. But I simply do not believe that she meant any more by her comment than I mean with mine. Amy may be a lot of things, but I do not see her as evil, lacking in compassion or loving to see people suffer. (OK, now all of you Dani haters can say I just described Dani when I said "evil, lacking in compassion or loving to see people suffer!" LOL!!!) |
Itsallgood | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 07:28 am     OMG What555456...what an excellent post. Finally we agree on something. LOL However, and I'm sure you figured this out already, I am an AMY FAN and you described the meaning of what she said perfectly. You aren't so bad after all in my book!!!! LMAO I purposely stayed away from this thread because I knew exactly what she meant but was bored so I thought why not!!! lol |
Betty | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 08:46 am     Oh, geez. Now the board is jumping on her just like the HGs are. I had long reply but got file lock so I'll just ditto What. |
Furry | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 02:14 pm     I think people in general DO have a fascination with natural disasters. Look at the films coming out of Hollywood..."Twister", "Volcano", "The Perfect Storm". Death and disaster are ominous and even thrilling when they are not real. Perhaps Amy has never been personally affected by a natural disaster, and like a little child who doesn't understand fire, she thinks it's exciting. |
Tobor7 | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 02:26 pm     Amy is an adult. She just acts like a child because people treat her like a child. Yeah, we can make excuses for her... why she said what she said... how she said it... and the like... but they are all just excuses. People should be responsible for their words and their actions. What they do and what they do not do. I'm sure if someone pointed out to her how her comment might seem bad to someone else (because of a major loss they may have had from a natural disaster) then I think she would say, "I didn't think of that. I'm sorry." I DON'T think she would say, "It's a free country I'll say what I want." I think she is a nice person. I just think people who interact with her have to stop making excuses for her or her whole like will be one big excuse. This is not about being PC. It is about thinking before you open your mouth. Seeing the world beyond your 4 walls. You don't have to accept it, or agree, but learn when to keep it to yourself. I'm sure if she made a racist comment people would not make excuses for her... "well she is from the south, she is young, etc." Sorry. I know we are not her teachers, her parents, her anything. I don't judge her, I just react as if I were in there with them. I would have said something. If you paint a picture and put in on a wall, be prepared for the critics. if you don't want to hear it, then don't show it. You go on a national TV show--- be prepared for anything. Run for public office-- expect everything you ever did or said to have critics. This is the world we live in. You are responsible for what you do and what you say. (Except if your name is O.J.) She is over 21. She drinks, drives, votes and shoots a gun. She is not a child. She is an adult. She drives with her dog in her lap! I hope someone tells her that is is dangerous for her, the dog and other drivers. Not personal. But life or death. Excuse me for saying so. |
Furry | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 02:35 pm     I'm not trying to excuse her, I'm just posing a possible reason. Even the most evil of actions, while obviously inexcusable, have reasons behind them...even if it's just complete insanity. (Just an example...I'm not calling Amy evil or insane.) |
Tobor7 | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 03:03 pm     She is not evil or insane. The others should have said something to her--- or maybe they were in shock. M was only concerned that she might look stupid for believing him about the fire being so close. He wanted her to pretend that she was on to him so she wouldn't look bad. |
Secretsmile | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 03:08 pm     Tobor7, I heard the conversation, I heard her try to explain liking the 'pull together' feeling when something like that happens, The other houseguests were just fast and loud at spinning it, and she just shut up. |
Crossfire | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 03:11 pm     "She drives with her dog in her lap! I hope someone tells her that is is dangerous for her, the dog and other drivers. Not personal. But life or death." Forget the dog, from what I've heard of her driving skills, driving period, dog or not is dangerous to her and everyone's health. |
Secretsmile | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 03:15 pm     LOL, as far as the dog on her lap while driving I can't comment, so far I've only posted about what I myself have heard, don't want to break my record now! |
Guinevere | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 03:21 pm     I'm not trying to excuse her saying it, because I don't think it was a big deal in the first place. It seems that the HGs can't win with us - if they are careful about what they say, they are boring (Jason) or phony (Roddy, BB1's Jamie). If they say what's on their mind, they get ripped for it. Ideally, of course, there should be some middle ground, both in real life, and on the show. But nobody's perfect, and being on display like that 24/7 for months, they are bound to say their share of stupid things. |
Tobor7 | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 03:49 pm     They all win. They get that "15 mins" of fame out of they way so they can get on with their lives. BTW- Stupid is as stupid does. |

Bkmac | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 06:22 am     Ummm I am not an Amy fan (GO DANI AND JASON!) but really- you're kidding right? I love natural disasters, I've gone surfing during a hurricane and have stood in the yard till the last possible safe moment watching a tornado.... and ooooh, blizzards are fun too! There's something so awe inspiring and respect demanding when mother nature throws one of her tantrums. |
