I don't get why this girl gets hated on so much simply because she expressed a viewpoint that might not have been the most popular one. If anything she should be held up as an example for sticking up for what you believe in.
And no, I don't agree with what she said.
That said, where can this tape be seen?

If you're gonna make a sextape, don't tell us you're "religious", period. Or is this chic a typical "christian"?

I don't think I would consider it a sex tape, she is masturbating and is alone in the tape. And you wanna tell me that people who go to church and consider themselves christians never do something like this? No reason to crucify her (no pun intended). She was treated unfairly for her honest answer. If you don't really want an honest answer, then don't ask the ****ing question.
at least that dumb Perez Hilton hasn't leaked a sex tape,:puke:

I have the TMZ app on my iphone and read about it last night- they said she was alone in the tape. Pretty much figured that if she is alone, she can't be having sex with anyone but herself.

The problem with Carrie Prejean is that she played up her strong faith for example:
"This happened for a reason. By having to answer that question in front of a national audience, God was testing my character and faith," Prejean said. "I'm glad I stayed true to myself."
Was this sex tape a failed test by God?
Christian's need to learn how to communicate their faith humbly instead of putting themselves high enough to suffer a fall. The bible warns of this. She is a Christian like any other. Her faith is flawed as is the faith of almost anyone. There is no perfect person and thus no perfect Christian.
The reason this is funny is that she wanted her breast implants to be paid for, and queen holier-than-thou victim of evil gays was chased away from this demand when her sex tape came up. If she knew all this was going on she should have kept a low profile.

Out of the whole Perez Hilton vs Carrie Prejean thing, I think Hilton came out looking like a bigger moron.
Especially after he got so worked about her response, and soon afterwards called Will.i.am. of the Black Eyed Peas the word he did.

That may be why that jerk Perez Hilton hates her, but that is not the reason she is hated on by the rest of us.
She has become a symbol of the "woe is me I'm SOOO discriminated against because I'm a good Christian" bull that currently pervades our culture.

Well in her specific case, her Christianity and conservatism go hand in hand so a line is blurred there and its easy to make that claim.
Everyone likes to play the victim, Predicto. Liberals do it, conservatives do it. Christians do it, Muslims do it. I think the larger problem at hand is this prevailing attitude that it's alright to play the victim whenever an opportunity arises. Everyone wants people to come to their pity party.

Everyone else I know defended her and her right to have her own opinions, including gay people. Mayor Gavin Newsom even defended her, and he is Mr. Gay Marriage.
But the right made her a huge cause celebre for how Christians are discriminated against. She was on Hannity and Greta Van Susterin and all the rest. It was like the "War on Christmas" nonsense all over again.
Then she filed her lawsuit, and, well, here we are now. She has become a symbol of something kind of irritating, and it is not just "speaking your mind."

of course after she was treated unfairly she went on to become a total attention whore, and all around tool, can't say I approve of that. But the gay marriage quote is non issue as far as I'm concerned... though I am sure she is one of those hypocritical nominal Christians, but that's a pretty standard thing anyway.

If only God's 2nd test of her "faith and resolve" were passed by Miss Prejean when the time came to actually exercise her faith in God and her resolve. If she made the tape, she wasn't obligated to show it to anyone but once that prospect was threatened by her enemies, she folded like a lawn chair and betrayed the very things she claims to be proud of.
Shame though. She is hot. Hotty-hot hotness heating up with hot heat.

I would think a lawyer wouldn't use the "supreme court " as a accurate moral arbiter given it's pretty abysmal history in such matters. Some cases were correct many were not. Dred Scott one of many that were not.

Not all Christian's are against sex before marriage (I'm more liberal in that regard, meaning that Love is the key factor and not some Government license.)
I realize not everyone would agree with me though.
as an aside, I read a while ago that many of the translations of the bible were inaccurate due to terms not translating in perfection. One was the term "adultary" (whcih I think is the basis for no sex before marriage in many Christian's eyes). I learned that the hebrew definition of adultary was simply any action that causes the dissolution of a committed relationship.

Absolutely true. There's no reason to go on a campaign against the woman.
My only sarcastic reaction came from her not showing the same courage when faced with the tape as she showed when she decided to sue the pageant. If she truly felt she had been wronged by the pageant, then she should have said "Do what you will with the tape because it has nothing to do with you violating my right to free speech and the tape is my right to freedom of expression." Instead she just said, "Oops! Okay. Bye-bye." That's where her greed was exposed and her "faith and resolve" disappeared.
...But man she is red smokin' hot with a capital HOT. As in really hot.

yeah you are right.. if she was maybe making this for herself.. i can kind of deal with it as a personal thing...

what does it matter? again, I know many Christians take that position, but not all of us.
Adultery is simply any action that causes the sisolution of a loving relationship between committed indivuals.

(original hebrew definition that was "lost in translation"
I'm sorry, but you're just wrong, here.
First, the texts are and were in Hebrew, so there's no "translation" to be lost in. What's more, this idea is especially off because Jews have an unbroken tradition of reading, studying, and teaching from the texts in Hebrew, so you're essentially suggesting that they somehow forgot (and then somebody remembered!) what the word in Hebrew actually means. The Hebrew word for adultery does not mean, and never has, the idea of "breaking up a committed relationship".
Second, what you probably did read is that in the Old Testament, adultery is specifically limited to sex between a married woman and a man not her husband, not the modern idea of any married person having sex with a person not his or her spouse. As a side note, in the New Testament Jesus expands the concept of adultery (and limits the legitimate reasons for divorce).
Finally, the reason Christians consider premarital sex to be a sin have little to do with the Old Testament definition of adultery, and more to do with the concepts of sexual sin and purity laid out by Jesus, Paul, and others in the New Testament.
This was written for teens, but it covers the basic verses (http://christianteens.about.com/od/whatthebiblesaysabout/f/Sex.htm).

That's not right either. Certain groups have attempted to make that passage about masturbation, but in point of fact, though Onan does spill his seed upon the ground, his sin was that he did this in defiance of God's command (he was supposed to do something else with it, so to speak :)).
Onan's sin was disobedience of God, not masturbation.

Thank you for expanding on that. I had forgotten the details.
While that might be the point of the passage, it wouldn't be the first time that those interpereting the Bible chose to interperet things in whatever agenda they have at the time. For better or worse, it is Christians doing that and giving Christians a bad rap.

Yeah, there are always going to be those who twist things or misinterpret for their own particular reason. The key to dealing with that is using the actual passage as proof if you will.

And so it is in 2009. The majority is perfectly happy to have gays be second class citizens.

Whats a typical Christian?
Gay marriage and a sex tape are two entirely different things.
I think it has more to do with the hypocrisy. Let's face it, if your going to try to run someone elses life by telling them what they can or can't do with their body or what goes on in their bedroom but then you get caught soliciting gay sex in an airport bathroom (Larry Craig) , or trying to talk minors into a gay sex(Mark Foley)... or like Prejean, talk about family values and the Christian way but get busted on a sex tape. Priceless...:D

I don't see how not supporting gay marriage is the same as saying you don't believe gay people should be able to have sex with someone else who is also gay. Thus, there's really not hypocrisy here. The funny thing about people who love to find hypocrisy with Christians (funny not so much with other people in the world who may have beliefs of their own and not always live up to them) is that implicit is the idea that one should have no standards simply because people fail to live up to the standards that major moral codes set. We are all hypocrites, as none of us is perfectly consistent or perfectly adhere to our often shifting morals and standards.
In fact, I'd reckon a large percentage of gay marriage opponents, whatever their ultimate views on homosexuality, would not support laws against homosexual acts.

Or maybe it's the idea that people who refuse to live up to their own morals shouldn't demand that the government impose their morals on everybody else, and claim that they're justified in doing so because of their superior morality.

Remember that sodomy was a crime even for heterosexuals, dude. Including BJs depending on the state. Those were probably laws that weren't even aimed at gays at their commencement.
I'd still say most gay marriage opponents are not for banning sex acts between men or women. Some? Sure. Most? I don't think most even want to prevent one man from spending his time (and being sexual) with another--not legally.
I would prefer everyone have civil unions and your various church/social/ethnic group can call it a "marriage" if it likes.
As for self-righteousness, the people who have tended to exhibit the most of it of late (though oddly they have a lot of courage in picketing and threatening Mormons and white Catholics--not so much going to the hood to intimidate black Baptists---cowards lol) have been the people who are gay marriage proponents.
I've encountered a number of secular arguments against gay marriage, by the way, so while Prejean invoked religion, it's not necessary.
As for the comparison to segregation, I'm not so sure. At one time in human history, races intermingled fairly regularly. Marriage between members of the same sex is a fairly recent innovation--even considering the ancient cultures that had less of a problem with homosexual acts than we do. But that's probably because marriage was not viewed as the fulfillment of personal individual desires but a social institution serving other purposes (well, it channeled personal desires, I guess.)
It will come, eventually, but proponents are better asking for civil unions. It doesn't help that a number of advocates laid out the argument that gay marriage is a form of social Trojan Horse with the intent to challenge norms, society and to remake it (with the intent of normalization or wider sexual diversity, I don't know for sure. Depends who you ask.)
I'd add that people like Elton John and other gays have questioned the idea--it's not all religious in nature (the opposition.)

It depends on the context. Most of the cries of "hypocrite" have had little to do with the gay marriage or even pornography/prostitution debates. Craig was rightly skewered for the contradiction in his political conduct and his behavior. But not every situation is identical, I'm not so sure this one is the same.
Morality is legislated all the time. The appropriate argument is that personal sexual morality should not be legislated but that's not really the controversy here either, even if for some, it ultimately derives from that same source (and even if proponents wish to portray it as such.)
Like it or not, marriage is in for some change and has changed over time. Eventually, it will either move beyond "civil unions" or everyone will move to such "domestic union" ideas, and it will be more individual and out of the hands of the state--which is how it should be.

Yes, I'm aware that lots of the folks who are out there passing unequal rights amendments to every state constitution they can find will claim that they aren't prejudiced, because they don't think being gay should be criminal.
Now.
The road to equal treatment is never (AFAIK) a single, quantum event. It's always a long, drawn-out campaign.
And every time the losers lose, they always fall back to a new position, and prepare themselves to fight the next battle, readying their arguments of "Well, OK, so now you've become a bit closer to freedom. But I'm not going to let you have this right."
Frankly, IMO, if there's one sure-fire way to spot somebody who wants to discriminate, it's the line "I'm not prejudiced. I've got no problem with (some right which they won a decade ago). I just don't want them to have (any other fight that they haven't won yet)."
The Justice of the Peace who refused to perform an interracial marriage, made a point of pointing out that he permits blacks into his home, and even allows them to use his bathrooms.
----------
I'll also observe that civil rights isn't the only "theater" where I see this behavior.
A lot of people who used to be of the opinion that it was blatantly obvious that there will never be any possible practical use for space technology, later had no problem declaring that well, it was always blindingly obvious that there were valuable uses for satellites in Earth orbit, but it's blindingly obvious that there cannot possibly be any reason to develop any further technology.
I'd also point to the transition from "global warming isn't happening" to "it's impossible to ever prove that global warming is happening" to "well, OK, it's happening, but there's no proof that pollution is causing it" to "well, OK, it's happening, but can anybody prove that it's a bad thing?" Or the transition from "evolution doesn't happen" to "well, everybody knows that evolution happens, but it only happens so far, and not further".
(I'm trying to think of a corresponding series of quotes to refer to the "evolution" of Redskins fandom, recently. But it's too painful.)

We are all given a purpose when we are born. When I came into this world in late 1979, I was given one goal, one task. And that task was to ferret out every single female celebrity (american) sex video that existed, for the good of mankind. You could argue that "The Internet hadn't been invented yet" or "celebrity sex tapes weren't common" or some other meaningless point.
Foresight my son...the good man above had the foresight to know that these things would come to pass, and that my task would go on as scheduled. And go on it has. Erin Andrews...check. Kim Kardashian...check. Pam and Tommy...check. The Jenna Lewis Honeymoon video...check. If it is on the Internet somewhere, I will find it. This is my solemn vow. I have even sacrificed my damn eyes viewing the "One Night in Chyna" video out of morbid curiosity.
Oddly enough, I don't even care for porn that much. Sure, I wnjoy watching a good lesbian romp, sororities have to be good for something other than wearing matching outfits. But celebrity tapes I find fascinating for some reason.
As stated, I have come into posession of a video with Prejean's name in the title, and am attempting to verify authenticity. To do any less would compromise the high standards of celebrity sex sleuthing to which I hold myself. In other words, I PM'd Toe Jam to compare tapes. How much of a letdown would it be if I were to be wrong? Why, you all would never trust me again. "There goes that Forehead" you'll say..."passing out links to videos of random amateurs we could care less about." NO....you demand the real thing, and I demand it of myself.
At this point, I can't vouch for authenticity, but once I hear back from Toe Jam, I'll get the video to whoever I see PM's from.

The majority was perfectly happy to have blacks be second class citizens in 1954. If civil rights had been put to a popular vote, Brown v. Board would have lost miserably.
And so it is in 2009. The majority is perfectly happy to have gays be second class citizens.
You may not want there to be any parallel, but that doesn't mean that a parallel doesn't exist.
I think that's an important point. Most people think Democracy and Republic are interchangeable. They aren't. It's no accident the founding fathers created a Republic and not a Democracy.
The entire idea behind a Republic is to protect society against the tyranny of the majority. Plato, the man who first concieved of a Republic saw his proffessor Sacrates forced to commit suicide because of persecution from the majority. That's why he despised democracies and it's exactly why he created a new form of representative government. One in which the majority expressly does not have total authority.
The founding fathers were very concerned with the tyranny of the majority too. That's why they didn't allow straight votes for public office, like the President, Senate or Congress. It's why even today we don't. People vote for representatives who vote for elected officials. Also People don't decide issues, elected officials do. It's also why the constitution sets out rules for everybody regardless of race, creed or religion. Because the founding fathers never trusted the people to look out for the rights of minorities.
It's the genius of our constitution. How to create a government when you don't trust anybody. Not the people, not the people who elect the people, and not the elected officials who make many of the decisions.

That's because it's stupid. Separate but equal works only in theory, never in practice; especially for something so complex.
There are literally hundreds of years of legal precident associated with the word marriage. Hundreds if not thousands of legal rights tied to that word. It would be impossible to create an equivalence across thousands of compartmentalized governments which would all have to subscribe and support such a policy. The advocates of civil union know that perfectly well.
A civil union isn't equivalent. A civil union just doesn't offer the same security. Nothing like the same security on issues like retirement, hospital policies, living wills, insurance, divorce etc...
Fact is marriage licenses are and have been issued by the state for centuries. Why isn't a secular justice of the peace issuing a secular marriage license, secular enough for the civil union crowd?
Easy, because the civil union crowd either fundamentally misunderstands the issue, or they are fundamentally dishonest and are trying to craft a solution which is inherently discriminatory and maintains the status quoe.

People who have no morals shouldn't expect the government to sanction immorality either
Morals change based upon religion. Many religions and religious folks don't believe homosexuality is immoral. Certainly not as immoral as some things heterosexually people do all the time legally. Bill Clinton, Tiger Woods for example.
Likewise, there are religions like Islam which believe representations of living creatures are immoral. Orthodox Christians who believe representations of christ, which aren't iconic, are idoliterous and thus immoral. Budists who believe eating beef is immoral.
Frankly, every religion can point to behaviors by patrons of other religions they question upon their own religous grounds. Sects of Christianity are no different.
I'm Catholic for example; In Catholism it is considered moral to steal food for yourself or your family if you are starving. Does that mean since Catholism is the largest single religious group in the US we should change our laws?

just like so called liberal Catholic politicians voting for late term abortions and not passing legislation to keep pedophiles in prison for more than 5 years.
Homosexuality != Late term abortions != pedophile
There is no parrellel or equivelence there.
Heck most of the pedophiles discovered on the hill over the last two decades have been conservative republicans.
Pointing out bad behaviour by poster childs for immorality doesn't make other immorality acceptable.
The issue isn't speaking out. The issue is why is one behavior illegal, and yet the other is not? Speaking out isn't the issue.
Heck clueless immoral people wanted to equate Clinton cheating to that of the average scumbag (its no big deal just sex) when he was the president of the USA.
Well I would argue it was never about Cheating. It was always about sexual harrasement.

I used to know Bills girls by heart as every American did.
But the Paula girl with the big nose was sueing bill for sexual harrasment. Bill lied under oath to avoid being prosecuted for sexual harrasement... Her lawyers were seeking testmony from Bills other girls to show the pattern that women who submitted got huge raises and job promotions they weren't qualified for; while their client got fired from a job which she had held since before bill became governor..
Monica went from unpaid intern at WH to six figure wall street job set up by Vernon Jordan the Presidents friend.
Another Chick, foget her name, went from unpaid volenteer at the WH, to NATO arms negotiator on permanent junket to Europe.
Bill got impeached for lieing about the "affair"..... but the real offense was he was lieing to cover up was not the affair but was the the "sexual harrasment" charge. The affair was an embarrasment. The Sexual Harrasment charge was always the real issue Bill was trying to get out of.
It was the real crime which the country never really came to grips with. The Paula chick in question did a spread in PB and was "unsypathetic"; and she was poor and couldn't afford to pursue the case anylonger. So the country dismissed her while Bill painted her as a tramp, right wing conspirator, and trailer trash not worthy of legal protections from a serial sexual preditor.
Bill ended up settling out of court with the woman as I remember. She got about a million bucs, which went all for lawyers fees.

Fact is marriage licenses are and have been issued by the state for centuries. Why isn't a secular justice of the peace issuing a secular marriage license, secular enough for the civil union crowd?
Perhaps because the "secular" definition of marriage is driven by religious impositions including the no-gay-people rule, which is fundamentally discriminatory in a secular government?
So they're looking for a way to have the same marriage rights for all without stepping on the toes of those who refuse to allow the term "marriage" to be nondiscriminatory based on sexual orientation?
Easy, because the civil union crowd either fundamentally misunderstands the issue, or they are fundamentally dishonest and are trying to craft a solution which is inherently discriminatory and maintains the status quoe.I see it as quite the opposite: "civil union" is a measure to leave the definition of "union" to the government regardless of sexual orientation, while leaving the definition of "marriage" to the church. And it's not separate-but-equal at all.
The most convincing arguments I hear for civil unions totally dismiss the idiotic idea of having two different standards for marriage (i.e., straights get married and gays get unioned). Everyone gets a union in the eyes of the secular government, with the very same rights and privileges you've mentioned in your post. If your church calls it a marriage, that's great. Your religion is completely untouched by the secular issue of being able to visit hospital bedsides, retire, get insurance options, etc. which is exactly how it's supposed to be. And your government is completely untouched by your church's idea of what marriage is -- which is also how it ought to be in a secular republic.
If "marriage" has to be Find/Replaced by "union" in law, then so be it.
I do find it interesting that depending on how one reads your take on civil unions, your post might be interpreted as belittling "separate but equal" in favor of "separate and definitely unequal." As I don't really know your position on gay marriage, I'm not sure how to take it. I'm sure it's just happenstance, but your post could be read as a vigorous defense of gay marriage by that name, or a vigorous rejection of gay anything by any name. I'm sure you intended solely one interpretation and not the other! Based on thread context I'm tempted to assume the former, but I hate to assume.

That's because it's stupid. Separate but equal works only in theory, never in practice; especially for something so complex.
There are literally hundreds of years of legal precident associated with the word marriage. Hundreds if not thousands of legal rights tied to that word. It would be impossible to create an equivalence across thousands of compartmentalized governments which would all have to subscribe and support such a policy. The advocates of civil union know that perfectly well.
A civil union isn't equivalent. A civil union just doesn't offer the same security. Nothing like the same security on issues like retirement, hospital policies, living wills, insurance, divorce etc...
Fact is marriage licenses are and have been issued by the state for centuries. Why isn't a secular justice of the peace issuing a secular marriage license, secular enough for the civil union crowd?
Easy, because the civil union crowd either fundamentally misunderstands the issue, or they are fundamentally dishonest and are trying to craft a solution which is inherently discriminatory and maintains the status quoe.
Um... hi. I wasn't referring to "separate but equal." I was referring to the government getting out of the business of declaring marriage, period. The legal rights go under a "civil union" title for both homosexuals and heterosexuals. Churches can have their ceremonies and their declarations of a religious "marriage" between whoever they damn well please.

Alright guys, after careful viewing, I'm not sure if mine is the real deal. In case you want to make your own judgments, go to LobsterTube and type the word "Prejean" into the search field.
You should get one search result, a grainy low light video somewhat similar to the original Paris Hilton tape, but a little clearer. The light is what makes it hard to tell. Also, I'm suspicious of the blurred out website name in the upper right.
I've seen this claimed as the real deal in a couple of locations, but I'm still skeptical. Let me know what you guys think.

I don't know. It's almost impossible to tell.
Anyone know if Prejean has a cat?

I noticed that too, but wasn't this tape made years ago? Anyway, it's the best I've found so far; the most likely to be real.

I'm surprised it got leaked there though. I'd think it would have hit the torrent sites are at least PornHub before some unknown site.
