Is it because she's beautiful and we're not? (Come on. Admit it.)

Is it because she is a "have" and we are "have nots?" (Be honest. Admit it again.)

She's beautiful, well connected, rich as hell, picks who she dates, parties when she wants, she make friends with whoever she wants, everyone wants to photograph her, she can always go somewhere and have fans--people who love her or at least worship her--follow her. When she wants solitude she can have that too. And when the the most formidable force on the planet--the law--comes to take her away to pay for her extended youthful bliss, her joyful if unrecognized and and yet still cute transgressions, she can fulfill her obligation to society by serving her sentence from her Hollywood mansion.

We should be emulating her shouldn't we? She should be the model for what WE want to become. Nobody, not even Donald Trump can command the world to do their bidding like Paris Hilton can. She should be our guiding light.

And yet truthfully, honestly, I can't stand her. I'm nauseated at the sight of her ridiculous closed mouth smile on her goopy, pasty, made up mug on TV. She is not charming. She is not beautiful. She's as foul as week old road kill. ("Yeah but given the chance, you KNOW you'd--" Stop. No, I wouldn't. And neither would any other self-respecting man.) She is the picture, the essence, the incarnation of fake.

I don't even like her little rat dog.

What is she? 26? 27?

Time to grow up.

Two things of interest about the Paris Hilton case (not Paris Hilton in general, whose exploits are otherwise utterly banal):

1) In the sense that it demonstrates that nobody is above the law, we can pretend that it is an expression of equality in America today. And to the extent that it brings up the idea that prison is a horrible place to be and nobody would want to be there, perhaps (ha ha, I am an optimist) it might persuade a few more people that throwing people in jail for trivial reasons (drugs & other minor offences) is not actually a very good idea, whether they are heiresses or destitute.

2) She makes a great fucking argument for gigantic estate taxes.

Is it because she's beautiful and we're not? (Come on. Admit it.)

She is not in the beautiful celebrity list. Beauty has no sin.

Is it because she is a "have" and we are "have nots?" (Be honest. Admit it again.)

We have something she has not either.

I don't think people hate her but they may dislike her indulgent behaviors and no remorse for her sin.

Plus, the public were outraged by the ridiculous decision and the phony legislate system.

Realy criminals like Oliver North and OJ Simpson don't get that level of hatred.

I have a sneaking suspician that it has something to do with her carrying a pair of ovaries.

Red Herring.

Ovaries are a complete distraction from the topic and have absolutely nothing to do with anything.

Purely idle and completely incorrect speculaton. Accusation without evidence.

Did any substantial evidence to sustain murder criminal in Oliver North and OJ Simpson cases? If not, they legally walked out the jail. That’s the difference.

OEJ, I think "Hate" is the wrong word, detest might be better.

People detest the spoiled little rich kids that think that due to money and connections their poor behavior or breaking of laws will be winked at and punishment will be a gentle slap on the wrist.

You and I know the reality, were it an average person and or a person of color none of this stuff would have happened. They would have been told in so many words "You're in jail, suck it up and do the time".

Paris Hilton for the fist time in her pampered lavish protected selfish self centered life is having to face reality without Mom and Dad's protective cover, her Nanny's, handlers, and other sycophant hangers on that she has been surrounded by are not there.

Paris is alone, Paris must stand all by herself and see Paris stripped of all the protective camouflage.

Paris is seeing a glimpse of the real Paris and a little glimpse of reality and the poor little thing isn't used to that.

No OEJ, don't hate her and on second thought don't detest her either.

Pity her for the poor empty soul she is and hope that the look she is getting at herself will wake her up and change her for the better.

Although keep in mind I never said I hate her. I asked, "Why do we hate her?" It's a social commentary.

What I did say is I can't stand her and I think she is fake incarnate. So what does that translate to? Detest? Hate? No. That would be drawing assumptions. I think I'll just leave my words the way they are.

I'd like to pity her and I probably should but I only have so much pity to give so I'll probably save it for someone more worthy.

Growth, maturity, experience, learning, it's all a pain in the ass. But it's necessary.

Pitiful litle thing, isn't she? Now that she's back in the slammer we'll no doubt be treated to a daily synopsis of What Paris Had For Dinner, What Paris Watched on TV, How Paris Accessorizes Her Orange Jumpsuit, Paris' Jailhouse Facial Routine, etc. ad nauseam.

'Given the chance, you KNOW you'd...'

Thanks, but no thanks. Then again, beer goggles have contributed to even greater mistakes in the past.

I'd feed her rat dog to my ridgeback. A living Snausage.

and the hatred of Paris I saw at the MTV movie awards was before she went to jail.

Their crimes were much worse, yet...they were not as hated

Martha Stewart, Leona Helmsley.

Two more hated far more than their crimes deserved.

I should have said “Rhetorically speaking” for the hate issue and I agree 100% about deserving the pity.

I just sit here and wonder if we are seeing the next Anna Nicole Smith in the making.

The jail might be a wake up call for her but the odds are that she’ll go right back into the secure little make-believe world she’s lived in all her life and nothing will change.

"beautiful" at all, really. Her face is off-center, her nose is too long and her mouth is huge on the bottom and non-existent on the top lip. She's not a classical beauty at all. She's quirkily interesting looking, at BEST. And that anorexic figure, oh my oh my. Would men be interested in her at all if she were not: 26 (and bebe, that don't last forever, as we all know), known best for having made her own sex video public, and a well-known drunk & 'easy lay.' Somehow, I doubt it.

Tea is right -- it's NOT HER / Paris that we 'hate.' It's the unfairness, the injustice and the arrogance on her part & her family's. Btw, the talk in LA is that the Sheriff was bribed.

Bet we see his resignation within a week, possibly two.

because at first skim, I did think you were defending her. You're quite right, she's NOT beautiful at all and my gut hunch is that she is not so, on the inside (where it counts) as well. So good to see a man I respect writing "No, I wouldn't. And neither would any other self-respecting man." Good for you, Jasper.
This post gets a big THUMBS-up.

Martha Stewart, Leona Helmsley.

Two more hated far more than their crimes deserved.

Quite frankly I gotta agree on that point.
