By "you guys" I was talking about kids like Chan Dre. I'm not lumping you in there with that post just to clarify.

Mr. Hobbes · 08-15-2012, 12:22 AM

No Dre I'm not saying celebs don't have morals. I'm saying it's different morals.

Like power, fame corrupts. It's just the way it is, and your favoritism or negativity doesn't change the facts.

**Dre** · 08-15-2012, 12:24 AM

"You guys" shit. I'm not lying when I say this, I haven't watched TV in a year besides sports and the occasional sitcom. I don't even have cable. I don't watch reality TV and I generally look down on people who saturate themselves with it

Because I acknowledge and diagnose how pretentious and soulless these people are that translates to me being fascinated and looking up to people. Does it sound like I'm looking up to anything by calling them idiots and insecure and phony R-Star? Really?

And all that "scum of America" shit is getting too disrespectful for just a regular discussion. If you wanna talk, talk, but don't try to denigrate anybody because that puts you right in the same boat.

EDIT: nevermind I guess

No ones tired of those. But you're right. We're out to get you. You are just that important.

I am though. I was lurking for a month and still saw 42 year old men on here baiting me. I had a grown man legit tell me they bait me because they enjoy it. Maybe not you but....

Maybe I should get one of the engineers out here to type up a moral tree.

Do you know what morality is? Corrupted morals are no morals.

Only person who thinks otherwise is another pre-rehab Jesse Pinkman who hasn't owned himself.

And again I'm not saying you said that, I'm saying that's what you should be saying because your argument is weak.

Same could be said about any of the regulars.

Hell, HB still comes up in conversation every week or so.

Those guys at Sportstwo had a thread about me and even approached my to bring my website to their servers.

Doesn't mean any of us are important. We just post with each other all the time is all.

**R-Star** · 08-15-2012, 12:30 AM

My moral tree is lack luster due to my inability to create decent down arrows.

What questions have I not asked Chan?

Bottom line is, at the end of the day you love that these guys go out and do whatever they want. You look up to it. You dream about it. Funny though, because if you're a celeb and you want to be low key, you can be low key. Pretty much every famous person out there who isn't always in the media says the same thing.

So if you idiots want to look up to these guys who go out of their way to go on reality shows, be in the media, etc, more power to you. I personally find it pathetic.

You guys are the filth that fills out middle and lower class America. No morals and you look up to TV trash like its some sort of goal. Again, its pathetic. And its a big reason at what's wrong with your country.

Low-key celebs are the exception, not the norm. If you're a celeb, you're expected to get attention and do reality shows. Those things build your brand and make you desirable for endorsements. It's marketing, and it's to increase value. Rationality dictates that people want to make more money, regardless of your morality. It's only bound by legality.

You haven't asked why they cheat, and why they get divorced. You don't ask why they're like that, because you don't care. Their culture is what makes them that way. More power to celebs that have similar values than you. No use hating on celebs who are more in line with the celeb culture. Your opinion can't change the facts.

Hating celebs? I wrote I don't care.

Whats funnier though is you write all this shit about how they get special rules, yet you share their morality and are a nobody.

Of all the reality shows and tabloids in America they still represent a small portion of musicians/actors/athletes/entertainers that have been out there in the past say 5-10 years, so no, attention whoring is not the norm, that's why a select few of them catch our attention.

If everyone was like that the pendulum would swing into intrigue about low-key celebrities taking precedence over creaming over attention whores.

There are way more celebrities that shun paparazzi then seek it. Don't let the Kardashians fool you into thinking everyone is like them.

See this is why re-read my messages. Celebrities have different norms. Some are stricter to the morals of a normal person, but they tend to get away from those morals due to their lifestyle.

**Dre** · 08-15-2012, 12:53 AM

Before you're a celebrity or anything you're a human being. Anyone accepting "different" moral standards for different groups of people and justifying the actions is kind of lame in that regard.

You either have them or don't, and if you don't you should have a better reason then "I need to stay on TV" or "she tweeted me I have to"

You're the expert on letting us all know what a celebrities morals are?

I'm sure Matt Damon is glad you speak for him. So is Mike Tyson.

Just picking names at random, but the point blank is you don't know what the **** you're talking about.

You waltz in here trying to teach the rest of us about "celebrity morality" because it makes you feel better about the own piece of shit you've allowed yourself to become.

Kind of sucks, because I'm locked into Middle Class Canadian White guy who works the rigs morals and you're stuck as Stereotypical black guy morals, and there's nothing we can do about it.

It just is who were are. Anyways, time for me to go do some blow and cheat on my girlfriend. Its what most guys on the rigs do, so I better follow suit. Maybe get in a bar fight while I'm at it.
