Thanks Paris Hilton- you're a piece of work...

[Junior]

I know where my next vacation's going to be...

I've got a feeling girls have been paying student loans off well before Paris Hilton came around. realize that they get a ton of money and stick with the biz.
Which reminds me of a conversation i had with my mother when i was still in school.

My mom paid her way through school so she couldn't figure out why i couldn't do the same. I told her, "If i could make 32 grand in 3 months work, i wouldn't go back to school" ;)

Why Paris Hilton?

[tfecw]

hmm...maybe i should have tossed in that my mother worked her way through college as a waitress to pay for school. You know, just to clear up any ambiguity ;)

Oh, just the Hollywood types that go around polluting the little skulls full of mush. Britney (sp?) and Christina Aguillara (sp?), all those people. Making the profane the norm. I remember a simpler time when there was more decency to go around. Kids are so different now. Started with Madonna? I suppose.

Paris Hilton? She worked as a prostitute in New Zealand while a student there? No?

Prostitution is legal in New Zealand, apparently, if you click the link and read the article.

Is it morally wrong? Perhaps, but that would depend on your particular moral beliefs.

I knew a girl in my college who worked on weekends as a prostitute. She graduated with a 4.0 average, went on to earn her PhD, and is quite successful now, and is married with three kids. She told me, when I asked about how she felt about it, that she had no qualms about it at all. It was paying for her education.

College girls have been stripping since long before either Paris Hilton or even Bill Clinton were in the news.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

No wonder Bill Clinton was spending soo much time there recently.

[The Worthless Miracle]

Should be "Students sell souls"

[bildabare]

Should be "Students sell souls"



Exactly- from the girls to their clients- just people treating each other as if they are worthless. No respect for anyone, including themselves. Suicidal and pointless.

[montomike]

Are you saying that Bill Clinton cheated on his wife?

Oh the inhumanity. He oughta be horsewhipped.

I would never have thought.

[Redcloak]

Paris Hilton went to college?


...as a student?!?

[george76]

$100 an hour... One had recently made $5000 in a night.

[Wolfie]

Jeez...where are the Free Traders when you need them.

[TexasCajun]

Things worked out well for this "student".

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I remember a simpler time when there was more decency to go around

Ah yes, the good-old days of the 1950s, when nice, Christian, suburban women were secretly reading lesbian pulp fiction novels.

[MineralMan]

Well, all I can say is that it's a good thing there is no prostitution in the USA. You won't find college girls selling sex here. You want that sort of thing, you can just go to New Zealand, right? /sarcasm

[MineralMan]

"I remember a simpler time when there was more decency to go around."

Yeah! Back in the good old days, there was no prostitution. Wait...how old are you, anyhow? You must be thousands of years old, I guess, if you remember a time when there were no girls selling sex for money.

[Xenalyte]

And I was so proud of myself for getting two bachelors' degrees (and a master's) without accruing any debt!

If only I'd known I could pay it down like this . . .
