32. I saw a quote from his mom about obstacles in his life. I guess like the car that got in his way when he was drunk so he had to get in it and drive it. Or the bong that got in his way... Why do pro-weed people like him anyway? Didn't he say he thought it was a mistake? He was right about it being wrong though, even if he said it just to appease people.

33. Why don't you leave this guy alone. So he made a mistake. It happens to the majority of teenagers and young adults as they grow up. That is how they learn. And, in the overall scheme of things, this was very minor. TMZ is disgusting always trying to stir the pot with negative crap.

35. Dear TazmoRocks
Part of my prayers have already been answered... first of all you're a woman - Bravo - I can trust again... secondly... you are not a smoker which makes you clean and fresh and ready to take on all that this world has to offer... thirdly, I don't know where you get the impression that I am of th Cristian stylings - does not the United Staes of America exist as on e people under GOD. I didn't make the rules. IN GOD WE TRUST remember... it's on the quarter.
The GOD thing is very American.
Unfortunately it is too late for Mr. Phelps... his mistake has cost him millions of dollars, millions of good wishes and millions of hearts. Instead he will have millions of nightmares and millions of doubts and millions of... well... I can't thinkof anything else right now, but something will surely come to me.
I do hope we meet again in this unnatural world of print and electronics - I sense you are a beautiful person.

37. Hello again, DearTazMoRcks - by the way, is that your given name? It's very unique... and may I say... catchy.
I've taken a moment to let your thoughts on this subject settle in and, you know what, they've started to resonate within me.
So many conflicts never seem to get resolved, but I'm here, right now to say... ours has been. I believe in you and you have turned my cheek to face the Sun. I am going to give this yong lad, Mr. Phelps, the benefit of the doubt...because of you, TazMoRocks. I just hope this young fellow doesn't torch another bong or blunt ever again... and maybe, just maybe... I'll go back to eating Wheaties and Syrup.
If I may be so bold, Ms. TazMoROcks... I think I love you.
I can only hope the feeling is or becomes mutual.
Thank you and... remember...
I'm...

44. "Cynthia Smart" is not so smart. The kid won at least 8 medals for the US in various swimming competitions and smoking pot certainly is not a performance enhancer. It gives you the "munchies" which is likely why they posted that story. Leave the kid alone he's done more for the US than YOU have.
