So it has all been an “Act”

I have seen clearly then.

Paris is shocked for only one reason, the difference between criminal and civil law. She is pretty much imune to civil law as she can pretty much pay any fines she wants and that there is no penalty for appearing on the wrong side of civil suits you settle out of. property damage? no problem. pet died, not an issue. however criminal is different than civil, you cant assuage the court with grease, one mush either manipulte the facts of the situation (actually harder to do than the public gives credit for. at least on the defendents side it is), argue extenuating circumstances that the judge is willing to take into account, and finally bear out the sentences that appear. (though the person responsible for keeping her updated each day has probably been sacked for either misinforming her, or not doing her job – if that is the truth of the matter). the issue here is that for the most part paris doesnt do anything that matters, so she doesnt see why she is in trouble “if nothing happened”, and thats where criminal and civil separate, some acts are criminal by their potential for leading to disaster, not because something actually happens. in other words they work sans actual consequences. drunk driving doesnt require that you hit something, neither does speeding. being successful in either does not change the illegality of what some would call a high risk situation that by virtue of its raising the risk for those not participation has been made illegal. in essence she is there because of the potential consequences of the outcome of potential acts once she demonstrated her willingness to enter into such acts that modify risks. ultimately, she will sit and pay… her fear of smear is something that most who say that she is being punished less dont see. by virtue of her fame and her position in the public eye, each movement she makes is under scrutiny that is not normally part of such convictions. however given that she has more to lose, means that she had more to stop her… so it all evens out in the wash i guess.

And make sure he wears underpants, Roger. We don’t want some wannabe upstaging her. We should get RPR to check him out daily.

All Paris needs to do is hire a chauffeur!

And do a thorough background check to make HIS license is valid!

The Vicar – of course I am right.

I read the Book.

All I did was consider to level of control over her parents and know that manipulation, deception, etc. has to be involved in her being the child of the Neuvo Riche and not being forced to have an Elitist Education.

In The Art of War you are instructed to look weak when you are strong and strong when you are weak. Is it possible that she is smarter than we think? Not likely. But other than a bit of jeering from the public – and a few comics – she is having a lot more fun than most of us.

She is shocked that she is really in jail, perhaps, but she will come out like Eldridge Clever claimingto be stronger for it. Eldridge was stronger, she doesn’t have to be. With her parents money and her vagina she will continue to see the world and we will continue to see more of her than we want. (Oh, the vagina thing, were most men offended… I don’t think so. Pissed off maybe, she is playing with them knowing a man doing anything like that would end up in jail. Most men know that most women don’t want to see “that” and so it’s a double insult. She is stupid, immature kid in a woman’s body and we continue to tune in for amusement. Maybe it’s time to change the channel.)

She should take a leaf out of Elle McPhereson’s book. Apparantly she doesn’t read anything that she hasn’t written herself.

The glasses, Joy. They are new.

Doug, they were supposed to cure dyslexia.

Thurston861, you are right on the money! Paris has not hit rock bottom yet. She will provide years of entertainment to come. I do suppose that her parents are ashamed of her.
Paris has her GED.

The Art of War is so much more than position and manipulation; I see something different every time I read it.

She probably thought it was a “How to litigate a Free Tan from the Sun.”

Her parents have so much money, and she does not have a High School Diploma I hear?

She is a Master at subtlety then, to get away with that.

The Art of War is position and manipulation. She is obviously an expert, and Judge refused to be another one of her victims.

amfortas, I’m sure she can read, but most likely she’s just looking at the pictures–there MUST be pictures, or she wouldn’t be looking at the book so intently. The words in that book are, I’m sure, way over her head, as are most things in life.

“This nobody can only hope they lock all the news reporters up in the jail with her…”

If that judge was REALLY concerned about the public welfare this would’ve been agenda item Number One.

Imagine a world with no hand wringing, mud slinging, brainless, pointless, coy, smug, witless, breathless, stentorian, blabbing, and (drumroll please…) perfidious rogues manning the news desk.

Ahhhhhhh, I feel better already.
