    I don't think this is going to influence anyone who wasn't already considering plastic surgery. I also don't think this is a glorification of plastic surgery, persay, but an opportunity for women disqualified from pageantry to have their chance. And I don't think there is anything wrong with women getting plastic surgery to begin with. It's their choice and I'm probably going to get some, too, before too much longer. I have giant boobs that need to be smaller, worry lines that need to go away, thin lips that need a little plumping and drooping eye lids I hate. If I got any of that done, I would be ineligible for any beauty pageant, which, again, is a woman's choice.

    Just my two cents.

    @Beets.Go.On is the Fat Yogini: But I'm not sure you would be ineligible for pageants. I'm fairly sure boob jobs and botox are pretty standard for pageants these days. And somewhere in there the line gets blurry anyway. Is botox okay, and medically necessary boob jobs okay, but not like, purely aesthetic ones? Or is it okay to do an aesthetic boob job to even them out but not purely for size...?

    But like I'm saying, I don't know the rules.

    I'd compare this much more to tattoo pageants/shows than Miss USA.

    Also, the Swan may be the absolute worst show ever to have been on television... EVER.

    Are women with plastic surgery not allowed in regular pageants?

    Could I attempt to enter the Miss Plastic pageant and argue that I'm being discriminated against for being so naturally attractive that I don't need any surgery?

    How KICK ASS of a wardrobe must you have if you only think to steal lingerie? If I had $5k (stolen or not) to spend, it sure as hell wouldn't be on UNDERWEAR.

    @MissSkittles is not your kind of lady: Well if you can help somebody like me, you can help anyone. Before we all jump on these poor pageant people and their goofy answers, think of how we ourselves would react having to say sentences under pressure with no edits and no rewind escapes or retakes. Agh, when I worked in the radio I could not ad lib my own NAME and had to write everything down for myself before I opened the mike. Not making this up.

    It's all about taking one key word from the question, apply it to the nation as a whole and running with it.


    So... Learning.


    "Learning without thought is a labor lost."


    I agree with this statement: education and academic achievement are hugely important to the youth of today because, as the world job market shifts to more technology based positions, Panama will need an educated workforce in order to be competitive. However, it is of the utmost importance that, in educating ourselves for practical purposes, we do not forsake the thoughtful and inquisitive aspects of our nature that brought forth such incredible advancements to begin with. Thank you.
