What kind of culture would embrace Paris Hilton?

It's all about money. Prostitution, hucksterism,
"entertainment"...if you find it immoral, or false,
or "sickening" don't patronize anyone who uses the
money tool(i.e. advertisement). And tell your friends, so they can tell their friends, etc....

Paris Hilton....todays Pia Zadora....with an explicit
pictorial history of her sex acts...

Just trying to get rich off of your (my) interest.
The old saying goes, "the wealth of the rich, wears
a hole in the tongue of the poor"...so don't oblige them,
they are mortal too, and will have to answer for their own
actions.

Over the past few decades, we have implemented a "live and let live" culture whereby abhorrence for immorality is seen as illegitimate if promoted through governmental means. Instead, we are supposed to let our culture be poisoned slowly -- and if we protest, we are told that as long as we turn off our own TV's, all will be well.

So he wants government regulating morality???

He lost me here.

More importantly, what man would want to marry a woman who has uummm serviced more men then Jiffy Lube has serviced cars??

Exactly!!  After the videos, I wouldn't kiss her (or anything else) without a blow-torch and a body-condom.

With you on that one ... I remember the pre-Paris Hilton days with great nostalgia.

[Nachum]

I think that it is a totally base and dirty culture.

OK. WHERE ARE THE PICTURES!

Government has regulated morality in this country for the better part of 230 years. Only the Supreme Court has barred legislative bodies from regulating morality. And we still regulate morality: see drug laws, murder laws, etc. It's only the morals social liberals don't like (e.g. regulation against sodomy) that have been barred from the public square.

Let's give the girl a break. She has to make a living, as do we all. It's not like she's got some big old Trust Fund to pay her way in this world! /sarcasm

Yes I long for the good old days, Ronnie in the White House, not knowing who the Clintons were, and not hearing of Paris Hilton's name everywhere.

No comment? Consider that this is the same society that thinks a movie about a pair of pants expresses the common will of the young females of the population.

[Goodgirlinred]

Is that all media hype, though? Is she really that slutty? Oh, and she is engaged to a wealthy Greek oil tycoon's son. His name is also Paris.

What kind of parents does this girl have for her to have turned out this way?

What kind of culture would embrace Paris Hilton?

You're soaking in it...

[andyk]

LOL, I loved that episode!

[Biblebelter]

A culture which cannot elevate itself much above comic books and comic strips. We take comic books, make movies out of them, and celebrate the movies as significant pieces of culture. Paris Hilton is a comic strip characte of the non-animated variety. She is a modern day Daisy Mae born rich not poor and her TV which sought to ridicule the routine and the everyday, actually had the opposite effect and exposed her and her ilk as the ridiculous.

What kind of parents does this girl have for her to have turned out this way?

***

The permissive kind.

Stop it!  I'm getting all misty eyed!

[MozarkDawg]

C'mon, the question is being asked about a culture that affords millions to a sk*nk like Madonna, hasn't asked her to simply remove herself from view, and one that sits outside a courtroom bemoaning the fact that Michael Jackson must suffer the indignities (their opinion, not mine) he has.

A scantily-clad honey draped over a car in order to sell something, be it a burger or the car, is nothing new.

I'd marry her in a heartbeat. I mean gold digging bitches marry rich men just for the money why can't men.

Done a great job of it too. [ /SARCASM ]
