So what you are saying is that you only deny parts of her past but not all? Neat trick. I am going to deny that the last week of my life happened but accept the week before that ...carlota said:i dont really agree in what you have said about denying a "whole human being", marius. i don t judge mm for having marius, or for the fact that she was a single mum when she married the crown prince. in fact, i think that's the loveliest part of mm, that one i like most of her. what i meant with that past was all the other things (the drug scene she was involved with and that tv show she went to, for example) but not marius.
about todays attire, i think it was quite good. i like seeing mm with that kind of hairdo's better than pony tails or just the hair with nothing on it. it seemed to be much more 'tidier' today. what i really didnt like were the brown shoes combined with the blue jacket.
ingrid was really cute today....
Here is what you said previously about Mette-Marit's past posted in this very thread on 10-19-2004, 03:30 PM
Here it seems that you accepted the drugs part but resented the unwed mother part and now its the opposite?don t think that's a logical explanation for that. the reflection of today's society can be asociated in some point with drugs, and not because of that royals are supposed to follow that.
i m not saying it s bad he married a single mum, but there would surely be much more other (and better) options. as i always say, royals dont have many obligations to follow, but one of them is to marry a suitable person to represent his/her country...
just my oppinion...
I really agree with everything you have said Regina. I think the part about Mette-Marit having done many things wrong but only with her own body is most important. She didn't hurt anybody else through her past actions or wild life; everything that is considered "torrid" by some about her past are things she inflicted upon herself. I think we should admire her for taking such a courageous step as to take responsibility for having a child out of wedlock and working hard at a variety of jobs in order to support them both. She very well could've had an abortion but chose not to. And how come no one cares that Mary Donaldson lived with another man for 7 years. It's okay to live with someone but not to either partake in drugs or the underground party scene or to have a child wedlock? Living is okay, partying is not?
Here I see that some people are beating up on someone who has a past and has atoned for it and has made dramatic changes in her life and we can't give the woman credit for this? Instead we keep drudging up her past and throwing it in her face and saying that she'll never be good enough. She isn't good enough as a Crown Princess, she won't be good enough as a Queen. But obviously Haakon thought that she was "good enough" to be his wife and to be worthy of his love and to share his life with -- and if you don't think that Haakon has a good head on his shoulders enough to know who is good enough for him and for the future of Norway, then he obviously isn't "good enough" either.
