I hope her house burns down again once they rebuild.  It takes a very special type of parent to be proud of their child and stay positive while they are off fighting a war.  Obviously this b- celeb isn't that type of person, and thank god to the best of my knowledge, she isn't a parent.

Ya know what Sommers?  "At least I don't have a kid who lives in San Francisco, or any other gay arse place in California".

"Hey Suzanne, do you like apples?"  GOOD.  Cuz I just schooled you, so how do you like dem fluff'n apples!"

lmao im nuts

What mother wants her kid in a combat zone?

[Mickey1992]

"My nature is to look at the glass half full. I don't have a son or daughter in Iraq. I haven't lost a loved one. We will rebuild, and I truly believe we will learn something great from this experience."

Seems like rational thought to me.  A house is just property that can be rebuilt.  You are criticizing her because she thinks that having a loved one killed in combat is worse than having her house burn down?

[cav58d]

I interpret some arrogance in that, where its almost demeaning to the parents with kids serving....
oh well.....once again, very trivial post by cav.  lmfao

Cav, I think you mis-read what she said.

I take it as it could be worse, I could have a kid in Iraq.

[john9001]

my life could be worse, i could be Suzanne Somers.  

[Airscrew]

ya know Cav, I think you might be reading more than is there.
Susanne Somers' house burns down, she gets interviewed and she believes there are worse things that could happen, like losing a loved one or "having a kid on duty in Iraq".  

In a statement to TMZ issued by her rep, Suzanne says, "My nature is to look at the glass half full. I don't have a son or daughter in Iraq. I haven't lost a loved one. We will rebuild, and I truly believe we will learn something great from this experience."

 I have a couple of friends in Iraq, 1 about to return, 1 stationed somewhere over there now, and 1 about to ship within a month or so.   I would much rather they not have to be there at all

+1 for misunderstood quote

My sister has a son in Iraq (my nephew) and she doesn't feel that way at all. Matter of fact, she's pretty damn proud that her son is serving in the U.S. Army in the intelligence sector, and she's supportive of his presence in Iraq.

Rip summed it up.  What I mean is, it's not a negative thing to have a child in Iraq, or deployed in the military.  It's something to be proud of.

It's also a reason to lose a lot of sleep at night, to worry, to pace and to lose hair. Just because what they are doing is honorable doesn't mean it's not dangerous. Any parent with no reservations about their child being at war is simply not normal, by any standards.

To this B-celeb, losing her home, which she can afford to rebuild, is less costly than the physical and emotional strain of having a child in harm's way.

A pretty simple thought that in no way detracts from the service being done by our armed-forces.

Sommers may be a world-class *****, but not because of this quote.

it's our insurance premiums that will rebuild her multi-million dollar mansion by the sea. $$$.

I would be scared to death to have a child in a war zone, any war zone. You chest thumpers need to sign up and get a close look at what war really is. You've seen too many John Wayne movies.

Cav, you gotta lighten up or you'll end up getting fragged once you commission.
