    She is An Irresponsible Sack of Nothing

    What galls many people I think, and why everyone is engaging in group hate, is that this talentless skank is famous merely for being famous. That is bad enough. But she is acting like so many children of privilege by showing that she is not worthy, that inside she is a weak wimpy person, less of a person than most hard working Americans who struggle through life. This makes her even more contemptible.

    If Paris Hilton was not from her famous family, if she was ugly (not that she is pretty), she would be another 'nobody'.

    Then to defy the law as if it does not apply to her. Maybe she can cry herself out of this like so many other women who get away with murder.

    Maybe people are sick of wimpy women.
