AW- yer post/rant = brilliant.
St Zartan- yer's too.

inre: paris hilton = "hot" vis a vis attractiveness.  i find her face to be oddly shaped and that it evokes a sense of physical disgust.  

Also, Paris Hilton has influence and power?  Over what?

i liken paris hilton to a hammer.  unless someone/something is swinging it, it's not going to do much but be a paperweight.

her fame, like many other's, is an Ouroboros.  there is a line where after "it takes money to make money" becomes ridiculously obvious, and Ms. Hilton exists a distance across that line that approaches infinity.  There are those who "defend" her, positing that while she inherited/stood to inherit oodles of cashola (money, mo money, MO money), she was able to create a fortune of her own.  Such quibbling is the more ridiculous given her "unique" (compared to people who have to work or even shop at Wal-Mart) position across that line.

There is a system that exists, that i think could be defined mathematically.  there are circles within circles intersecting circles ad infinitum.  I am not convinced that the point of Hilton occupies an area within a circle that is even based on the same mathematics as the circle my point occurs within.

It's a "WE RETURN WEDNESDAY" Tuesday!
EDIT: Which is still preferable to a "Judas Priest" Friday.

It is quite possible that Onstad is dealing with the same flu I'm currently experiencing.  I have taken a turn for the worse every Monday night/Tuesday morning for the last three weeks straight.   It's kind of starting to piss me off.

Edit:  When you take out a phrase offset by commas you should remove the commas too.

Gravity is a harsh mistress.

Aren't they all?

Beeeeyoutiful.

Also, I do not find Paris exceptionally attractive.  I wouldn't kick her out of bed, but she doesn't do all that much for me.

As is the moon, or so i've read.  and, i can't type.

metoo, i suppose, as long as she was not speaking and it was dark, and i was not in my current relationship.  so, i guess, too bad for Ms. Hilton.  I have no idea how she will survive without me.

[jough]

See, I'm a pragmatist.  So when I see someone that useless I think of uses for her - and Paris Hilton would be useful for taking a load in the face.

Yes, she's a spoiled rich vapid brat, but I am willing to bet that you can fuck that out of her.

God willing, I'd try.  I'd try...

[sasquatch feeder]

So uh I just dig how Beef is so insistent that he would hate Paris Hilton the most. And that he can prove it with science.

This is what I think. If you are born wealthy, you have an obligation to the world to be as educated as possible, and to use your wealth and power to help those who weren't given all of the cards at the start of the poker game. OF LIFE.
Anyone who gets to her age, while being extremely wealthy, without doing anything even VAGUELY positive for ANYONE, should be shot in the back of the head.

I would hesitate to say there's an obligation, but I definitely believe that it's the only really moral route. Nobody should be obliged to be philanthropic, but being born wealthy puts one in a unique situation to help the world, and the most moral route is to take those opportunities.

That said, I'm also willing to waive the education bit. If you really don't want to go to school -- hell, you don't have to. Don't worry about it. (Of course, this may just be my reaction upon going to a very prestigious private liberal-arts school with a massive legacy contingent, rooming across from a legacy my freshman year, and thus inadvertently partaking in her "Officially Taking Time Off From College But Staying in the Dorms, Staying Up Until 4 AM Listening to Eminem, And Smoking Enough Pot To Fumigate a Football Field" semester. This may be selgiraffe, but I have no problems with unmotivated legacies staying the hell out of my academic experience.)

Why? Where is the link between wealth and some perception of increased social responsibility?

The most basic responsibility people have as individuals is to survive. As members of societies, the most basic  is not to hurt other people, followed fairly rapidly by doing your share to ensure the survival of the group. Your accumulated wealth shouldn't come with an enhanced responsibility (nor should it excuse not contributing in a meaningful way); everyone should share equal amounts of responsibility. Philanthropy is a good thing but certainly should not be a requirement. The world would be better if everyone did more personal service to the community and the world; the money is nice but means less in terms of building a sense of humanity and community.

I think.

If I had gobs upon gobs of money. Enough that I didn't have to do anything. I would very quickly get bored of doing nothing.
I would find something to apply myself to and apply 100%. I think many people would do the same thing.
Think of the books you could read, songs you could learn, people you could help...
Ms Hilton was born into this hypothetical situation and like the skeletor to many people's He-man's she chose to use her power for evil: For reinforcing in young girls that it's okay to be vacuous as long as you're cute. That you should never have to lift a finger as long as you put out. That anybody can be rich and famous.
Paris hilton like Jessica Simpson, Hillary Duff, Avril Lavigne and Ashleigh Simpson, is another example of high powered marketing in action, working toward the catastrophic end of all civilisation.

Instead of fiction based on real life we are presented with real life based upon fiction. It's far more devastating because once you fuck with reality, there's no turning back. The damage the Paris Hilton's of the world are doing can never be undone.
