    "I sooo hate being a mother! I wish I never had this kids. It, like, worse than having cancer! Trust me.... I'm NEVER having sex again."

  • Great quote. Bristol is clearly a troglodyte, and a chip off the old blockhead.

  • My head explodes with the polar contradictions! The cynical, bald-faced hypocrisy.... It both trivializes a very serious issue: teen mothers and unwanted pregnancies.

    *umph* Crap. I spit up a little just thinking about these people.
