I knew reading that would get people upset at her for calling them parasites but if I were her, I wouldn't have apologized.

[posthaste]

agreed.

[freak4music]

I appreciate that she apologized for her choice of words but not for her stance. I am undecided where I stand on the vax issue but I do know that calling someone with a different view a "parasite" is not the correct way to go about it. She is 100% entitled to her opinion and I praise her for standing her ground but also being able to admit she made a mistake and could have choosen her words more carefully.

[ghost_chick_13]

I agree. Stand behind your opinion.

[mountain_hiker]

She's so fucking gorgeous.

I don't know who to side on with this debate.

[hobbit18]

Side with the research obviously. Amanda Peet is right, my girlfriend works specifically on this stuff and there is absolutely no evidence for autism being triggered or caused by vaccines. The entire fuss is over a paper published awhile ago by someone who was doing research on the subject but came up with a negative result in their thesis paper, so they just lied and published the paper. The news got ahold of it and sensationalized it as always. It's just a huge media story, there's not debate in the scientific community.

u tell em BB!!!!

[missmarmalade]

It's not just autism that's the issue...I'm not vaccinating
my child & the my decision isn't simply because there
is a risk of it triggering autism [which, btw, is what
some parents are saying...not that vaccines cause it,
but they trigger the dormant disease].

[concise]

Just to restate the facts,

Francesca > Frankie.

[honeypants]

They're both equally unattractive kids.

[strokemethere]

Francesca wins on name alone.

[shanny_w]

lol i have a cousin named that. i always thought it was a weird name when i was little.

[strokemethere]

My mom gets Cookie and I was pretty shocked when I read that parasites comment. Also, I felt bad for thinking her daughter was not all too cute. :(

[iluvpans]

Her daughter looks just like Dannylien(however the fuck Anna Nicole spelled it. The only difference is that Frankie's hair is brown and she doesn't have that wonky eye.

[strokemethere]

Aw, I'd have to say Frankie is cuter because she has the little Gerber-baby-like teeth.
