Who cares if Miss USA got booed???

Question

Yes, Miss USA was booed last night.. SO??? As if booing was so wrong... Miss USA is representing the United States in a foreign country.. HELLO?? Everyone should know by NOW that most countries hate the USA, not only for spats over illegal immigrants but because of stupid decisions that the President and/or government has made... So, why would this come as a surprise.. Does that give you the right to insult them?? I don't think so.. You really shouldn't make this personal.. As for those who say "You should go back to your own country, blah-blah-blah"-- You people are ignorant.. I don't give two $h!ts if you respond to this with your negativity.. But what ever happened to "Bring me your hungry, bring me your poor"?? I'm not going to go into American history because you should already know that America is a country founded by immigrants.. Anyway, for those who are pissed, get over it.... (And for those who ask the Oh so famous "what's the question?" it's in the title)

Answer 1

I don't know why Miss USA got booed, but since when does Miss USA determine the policies of the Bush Administration? A lot of countries don't like our GOVERNMENT, but millions of people are still trying to get here and become citizens, which puts the lie to your statement that "most countries hate the USA". They don't like our GOVERNMENT, as does most of the people of the USA itself! Bush's approval ratings are VERY low.

Its sad that Miss USA got booed, but life isn't fair - she got blamed for something that was completely beyond her control IF what she got booed for was the policies of the US government. It really just goes to show how silly some human beings can be. Should I hate all Arabs because SOME Arabs are Al Queda? Or should I just not like Al Queda? There are plenty of Arabs that are disgusted with the way Islam has been hijacked by political extremists, and that I think would make great friends.

And do I care that Miss USA got booed? No, not really - its not that important.

Answer 2

She got booed for many reasons. First, like you said, the majority of the world hates the USA, and the poor girl, who is not responsible by any means for the USA government actions, was in fact representing the USA. So at that point she is a symbol of the country. Second, she fell, and she still got into the top 5. Finally, there were a lot of girls that were better looking and had better bodies who deserved to be on the top 5 much more than her. She was in the top 5 because it is an american owned show, and everyone knows that. Again, none of the above are really her fault. It must have been pretty scary to be up there getting booed though. I really felt for her.

Answer 3

I was born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago (located in the Caribbean). However, I do live in the U.S at present, and I have noticed that mostly every Miss Universe or non-Miss Universe pageant or event held always incorporates someone from the U.S.A. I find this particularly biased in a way. Haven't you people realized that the majority of judges in the Miss Universe pageant are actual born and raised AMERICANS? I'm NOT talking about race here, because EVERY country in this world IS multi-racial. No country in this world is completely homogeneous. I consider any raced person who is born and raised in America, to be 100% American and nothing else! Anyway, my point is that there were other more deserving girls in the top ten, such as Miss INDIA, who did not make it into the top 5. To tell you the truth, I believe that Miss India deserved to be in Miss U.S.A's place. But you know how it goes, if the majority of judges were of American nationality, then it's obvious that they'd be a bit biased towards their own Miss U.S.A.

I suggest that in future competitions, the Miss Universe organization should appoint judges not just from the U.S or Latin America, but rather from the REST OF THE WORLD. I mean seriously, how many times have you ever seen one of the judges to be of Indian, Chinese, Russian, Australian, English, or Moroccan nationalities? Almost always there are only American and a few scattered international judges! So Go figure. Now you must know why Miss U.S.A made it to the top 5.

Answer 4

We should all care. Miss USA as you said represents the U.S in foreign countries. We all do know that most countries hate us but we shouldn't just shrug it off like it doesn't matter because it does. We should care if other countries hate us or don't like us and try to see what we could do to help them and our relationship. Yes, it is just Miss USA witch really isn't important what is important is the view of America and Americans is not very good at this point in time and we have to come together to make it better. Also I don't like how you said that "America is a country founded by immigrants" because it is not. America was here for a long time before immigrants came. Native Americans were here a long time before immigrants came over and they had their tribes and different people. Then we destroyed them and their way of life.

Answer 5

First I don't really care about a Miss USA/America/Universe (whatever it was) pageant or who got booed at it. But I do think that if you are going to raise a point about an issue and then take stance, make sure you are not contradicting yourself. For example: you said, "Does that give you the right to insult them?" Are you saying it is okay for other countries to insult Americans by booing someone representing USA, but not okay for Americans to insult those countries who insulted them by booing? What is good for the goose is good for the gander. You can't dish it out and then get mad when you get it right back. As far as the immigration issue, the key word if "illegal." You say America is great but yet you don' want to abide by the laws that make it great. Just because you are an immigrant you are not exempt from the laws of the land because you came from poverty in your own country ( or whatever you were dealing with). I say if you want to come to America- great, but show some respect for what makes this country great by doing it legally. Ignorant is calling people that and not backing it up. But I do believe that if you don't like America- don't subject yourself to it. Because no one is forcing you to stay here, or like us, or read about us, etc.On the negativity subject- I read your post and thought, again, don't dish it if can't take it. Please remember- just like in your country I'm sure- not every decision made by our government reflects every American's viewpoints. BTW- not pissed, everyone has a right to their opinion (freedom of speech: just one more thing that makes America so great that everyone is knocking down the borders to get here.)

Answer 6

I didn't watch it but I don't care & I'm not surprised. I've stopped caring about the fact that the rest of the world hates us. I do think that if the majority of foreignors realize that most of US hate our government, don't agree with it's decisions, and that Americans generally don't care about immigration if those who come attempt to at least learn English; there would be less world-wide cultural tension.

Answer 7

I am not from US but I think it's uncivilised and mean to boo someone in the face. To top it off, it's aired and watched by the whole world. Put yourself in her shoes and you'll understand how embarrassing and unpleasant it is. Sometimes, when you hate a person, you don't have to tell her in the face. Personally, if I hate someone, I would avoid or ignore her but if she were to provoke me, I would fight with her. And boo-ing miss usa just because you hate america isn't justicable. It's just show how uncivilise that person is.

Answer 8

I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm Free and I wont forget the chicks who fell and got booed for guys like me. And I proudly stand up next to her and squeeze her but today cause there aint no doubt I love this broad land God bless the U S A!!!

Answer 9

Living in Germany has given me an interesting view on how the rest of the world sees the U.S. Most people think if your American you agree with all its policies, which is not true. Booing Miss America is the least of our countries concerns. I would boo the President if given the chance. I love America but sometimes I can't stand Americans.

Answer 10

Stories like this remind me of why I stopped watching TV a few years back. Nice to see I'm still not missing anything. It's incredible, the meaningless crap people chase after.
