I am not born in the US , but having lived here for sometime , i believe in the American spirit. Let people choose and decide. When I say choose, I mean let protesters protest and let the ladies choose and decide if they want to participate in the so called BEAUTY PAGEANTS. If you are asking me "WOuld you like to participate " My answer would be no. ( Not because I am not eligible). I am better off competing with so called white collar business minded folks in the corporate world. I surely would not miss a chance to go to Mars with the world famous artronouts though. ( But that's me. I personally don't believe in these beauty pageants) Please no offence to anybody. Main reason why I don't believe in beauty pageants: 1 why do we have to show our body ( i mean wear swin suits, that is what bugs me) I think women have more potential and are equally competent as men. Why are we always judged by our body or looks ? How about having a MR. Nepal Contest???
