• 455. Sorry... intelligent, respectable girls of any age do not act like this. They simply don't. And the only reason any of you women would condone this is to justify your own lifestyle. But hey, if you want men to treat you as a brainless sex object and nothing more, then by all means follow her lead! We men will continue to use you for our own pleasure (but we won't be taking you home to mom). But hey, who needs respect?!

• 456. If you're shocked by these pictures, how do you make through life every day ? They all look pretty lame to me.

• 457. HER CROWN NEEDS TO BE TAKEN AWAY. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF SHE IS YOUNG AND JUST HAVING FUN. SHE IS REPRESENTING WASHINGTON AND THE US AND SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEFORE ALLOWING THE PHOTOS TO BE TAKEN. WHAT A STUPID BITCH!

• 458. I had a lot of fun growing up= and thank GOD no one had cell phone cameras. We just had one creepy guy named Larry who went around taking pictures and putting the camera between our legs whenever he could (we'd kick him) and hiding in the bathroom to watch us pee!(Larry- you KNOW who you are, over there in Louisiana). If he'd had a cell phone camera, who KNOWS what kind of pictures would be on the internet of a bunch of innocent,self-respecting young women! He might still have pictures he took, but he doesn't show them. Kids today have no real freedom- they wear cell phones that may as well be tracking devices for parents and friends. They take pictures of their bodies and send them out to be on the internet FOREVER. Why did she enter a beauty pagaent if she was going to be vulgar- and that's the word for it.

• 460. My give-a-sh_t meter just doesn't move on this one. They're only bad if you're ignorant prude. I find it more appauling that she, or anyone else, would blame it on the crowd she hangs with. The truth is, she could be the influence on their behavior. Still, I really don't care one way or another. She won, get over it.

• 462. A role model? Give me a break. If anyone is encouraging kids to look up to someone who's being praised solely for her looks, they've got some serious issues. Even if a beauty queen is perfectly "well-behaved," they shouldn't be considered "role models." They have no substance.

• 465. Americans are such bloody hyp0crits! First they parade their little girls in sexy outfits when they're 6yrs old and continue to abuse them with these pageants till they're in college. But God forbid they act sexy at one point. OMG you dufuses!!! You are the ones who've taught them everything! But NO, you're appalled by these photos. Go Gurl, be the best you can be!
