What is wrong with these people? They’re making enormous salaries. Why do they they need to breed fighting dogs, or gamble, or anything else?
When you have so much, material things cease being interesting. When you don’t ever have to wait to have something, or when the stakes of a game never rise above the trivial... it’s human nature to push into more extremes finally get your pulse rate up.
It’s like racing your prize car for pink slips. For keeps. But if you have 12 Ferrari’s in your garage and can have a new one delivered tomorrow then even racing for pink slips is boring.
Fighting dogs I think is a vicarious raising of the stakes. It’s blood and a fight to the death. For real. It matters, at least to the dog and vicariously to the owner.
I saw Bill Gates interviewed some time ago, and somebody asked him what the hardest thing about being that wealthy was... and his answer was interesting. He said that he really missed the anticipation of “wanting” something. That is, whether its a new car or house or anything at all... much of the fun of buying material things was the time spent wanting it, studying and shopping for it, waiting until you could afford it. But now he doesn’t have to wait for anything. There is quite simply nothing for sale in the world that is too expensive for him to own if he wished. And as such... there’s not much fun in it.
I think that’s why he got into philanthropy, as many fithy rich moguls inevitably do. It’s something to be proud of.
But I digress.
May this be the first of more dominoes to fall in the rap culture.
Image the thug life mentality you know what I sayin??
Everyone's entitled to a hobby.
Well, can you imagine Micheal Vick with a metal detector.
What about Latrell Sprewell and others as well? When someone is a vicious punk, he doesn't change his stripes by becoming a multimillionaire. It just makes him more vicious and more of a punk.
From what little rap music I’ve heard it doesn’t respect human life. Why should the people who make it respect any kind of life? These people are soul less.
You can’t buy class with cash.
Psychopathic thrills.
