Ashley Alexander Dupre

I am not playing devil's advocate, yes I am a God-fearing person and unashamed of it. However the vitrol i just witnessed on Ashley AKA Kristen's myspace page is beyond comprehension. This country is truly unique in its desire to destroy people emotionally and psychologically. Initially I really did not care all that much for this woman for engaging in her line of work (prostitution) and still don't care. But I have to say to use derogatory comments and shameful assertions against this young woman for doing something she had to do to survive in a world that doesn't care about people is tipping me to my BOILING POINT!

People make decisions. Foolish decisions? yes, necessary decisions? yes, could better decisions have been made?, absolutely. However one must try to look in the perspective of the accused, Look in a perspective of being the one who bounced around the country, left a broken home at 17 and found yourself on the streets of New York, broke and left with a singular option. Live like a bum or do something about it.

Now in no way am i condoning her decision to engage in prostitution, but I am not going to say she had that many choices. If anyone should be receiving the vitrol, it should be Gov Spitzer and his willingness to ruin his family life. Ashely shouldn't have to bear an inch of that blame, she was basically doing what she needed to do to survive in a world that prefers you to be defeated.

My main point is, we should all remember that she is a person, with real feelings, goals and essence. We should not place our own insecurites and shortcomings on her to make ourselves look better, because quite frankly, we are not exactly upstanding citizens either.

And if you want to be a bible thumper or moral crusader, may i ask you to review John 8:7. it says "He who is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone" Clean up your life first before you begin to judge others!!!

THAT IS WHAT I AM BOILING ON!
