In Reply to: YEAH RIGHT! - me

did or did not do twenty some odd years ago, but discrimination is discrimination and that too, is against the law, or at least I thought it was. Correct me if I am wrong. It was my understanding that the only way someone would be refused service in a restaurant would be if they were wearing no shoes or no shirt...not because of who he is or what he has done or not done in his lifetime.

She is only defending him because he's black
just like Jamie Fox said it which is probably where she got her idea.

Defending Sanjaya, sort of...sm

Stopped watching during the first season because it was a popularity contest, not a talent contest ("ooh, he/she's HOT--voting to keep him/her"). I hear AI updates on the morning radio show and heard the opinions of Sanjaya, all of which may be true, however:

>>"For those of you who are wondering why Sanjaya - the equivalent of MT outsourcing to India - is still on American Idol..."<<

Ouch. He is a (I believe) 17-year-old kid who entered a contest and seems to be handling the critism a lot better than I could.

>>"...Sanjaya is in that group - he has ruined this show and its integrity."<<

It is the fault of Stern, the sites like you mentioned and clueless voters that have ruined the show. Again, the kid simply entered a contest. If he decides to quit, then he will be criticized for that, too.

That is just mean. I'm not defending inappropriate clothing sm
but your nasty little comment is mean for no reason at all. Don't overweight people face enough trials in their lives w/o someone like you making "big panties" comments?
