And you're intentionally drumming up the poor Nancy story, less realistic than the rich Nancy story when the entire purpose is to compare their lives. Nancy's childhood had more in common with a wealthy girl's childhood than it did with Tonya's.

"I had a bucktooth'

'My mom just married her 5th husband and called me a fat pig and beat me with a hairbrush for not being perfect today'

Come on.

Of course Tonya COULD have chosen to be perfect. But my entire point is that most people that start out the way Tonya does don't have the fortitude to pull themselves into a different classier world. She did a terrible thing, she came from a terrible place. Those things aren't unrelated and we have a better chance at preventing future Tonya's by acknowledging that [b]most people can't fix themselves after a start like that[/b] [/quote]

I don't agree with that. You are free to disagree.  Tons of rich women marry multiple times and beat their daughters for not being perfect.

Incidentally, trailer park mothers don't usually enroll their children in skating lessons. It's not really a trailer park thing.  Who knows where Tonya would be if her mother didn't beat her for not being perfect. Maybe she didn't beat her enough.[/quote]

Yeah well that part really isn't an opinion, it's statistics. Google "cycle of poverty'[/quote]

[b]Maybe you should find statistics on the percentage of trailer trash mothers who enroll their daughters in ice skating lessons[/b].[/quote]

NP just looking for clarification. Is it your position then that Tonya's mother couldn't have been abusive because she paid for skating lessons?  [/quote]
