That's like "What is the difference between the NFL and the United Indoor Football league?"  They are just different organizations doing basically the same thing.  \n\nMiss America is older.  Miss America was started in the 1920's, and Miss USA was founded in the 1950's because the former year's Miss America wouldn't pose in the pageant sponsor's swimsuit.\n\nThe competitors come from regional contests.  The Miss Alabama pageant winner competes in the Miss America pageant, and the Miss Alabama USA pageant winner goes to the Miss USA pageant.  \n\nMiss America goes on to compete against women from other nations in the Miss World competition, and Miss USA competes in the Miss Universe pageant.\n\nInterestingly enough, Miss America is the more prestigious pageant in the US, but Miss Universe is the most prestigious international pageant.

Both are great organizations, but there is no connection between the two. I dont think there is a quote because I cant think why anone would every make a connection.\n\nToastmasters is a an organization that promotes effective public speaking and provides a helpfull atmosphere for training and practicing speaking in front of people.\n\nMasonry is a fraternal organization dating back hundreds of years that promotes charity, family, faith, and brotherhood.

They really aren't that bad - but yes there are thos psycho girls that believe their lives are pageantry. Then they turn 23 and don't know what to do. (I guess thats why they made the "Mrs America and Mrs. Senior America pageants lol)\n\nDocumentaries and shows tend to oomp the arguments and alot of times those people are egged on, just for the sake of entertainment.\n\nI've done 3 pageants and most of the girls were very kind and supportive of eachother.\n\nPageants (Miss America pageants anyway) teach you to be very well rounded. \n\n30% Talent\n40% Interview\n15% Physical Fitness in swimsuit\n15% Evening gown/on-stage question

Both forms of English come from the same place- British English. British English is what most of the world speaks if they use English (including India). American English is becoming a completley different language in its own. We keep adding so much slang and pronunciations that keep changing the language. The only real difference between American English and British English is that they have different words for things and their sentence order is different sometimes. In American English, our sentence order is correct if we put it in our forms or if we put it in the British form, which makes American English that much harder. For example. We would say "Go wake up my sister, or go wake my sister up" The British wuold say "Go knock up my sister" which we would sometimes interpret as go get my sister pregnant. It all comes down to the wording. As far as Indian English, it is really British English, except that few Indians are able to speak with the accuracy of someone who was born in an English speaking country.

Miss refers to a single woman, while Mrs. refers to a married woman.  For men, Mr. is used regardless of marital status.\n\nWhen the women's right movement was at its peak in the 1960's and 70's, Ms. was invented as a title for a woman regardless of marital status.  Was intended to replace both Miss and Mrs.\n\nToday it is acceptable to use either Miss/Mrs or Ms.  Ms. if most often used in formal and employment situation.  Ms. is also often used when the woman's marital status is not known.

Because that would be racist.  Its okay to have an african american Miss America, but not a white Miss America.  Its just the way our society is.  My father has been bringing that same question up for years.

Condeleesa Rice can run for President and it could be more interesting if the opponent is Hillary Clinton.  Then, the US will have a woman as President for the first time.
