You'd at least need a business manager with some sort of a finance background or an accountant to look after your money.
I doubt it because the numbers may be bigger but the "operations" stay the same. Anyway, i would maybe hire some kind of a business ASSISTANT or ADVISOR but not a MANAGER. I will do the managing.

I agree with you Marlon Brando.

Ditto. The sad thing about people like Paris Hilton is that have squander significant opportunities, which are well above what most others will ever have. That seems to be a problem with people who have everything given to them. Her parents should have had have expected her to work or get a good education.

Though what you say may sound a bit, err, you know "cliché", you are completely right. After having gone through this process of education etc etc she would have had a better grasp on reality and what real live is about. She wouldn't have to go to prison for such stupid reasons.

If you want to go to prison, make sure you get convicted for a cool reason like mass murdering or mega fraude (rip off the entire republican party for example). Otherwise, you would just be considered some lowlife kitty by your "inmate peers", and what possible good could come from a sissy in jail. ?

Most news stories I've read say that she refused to eat and barely slept. So that's why they keep her there.

Then that would also have been the reason that they sent her home the first time around. :rolleyes:

Do you think the average prisoner is sent to the hospital for the same reasons? Not hardly.

Really! The guy caught with some pot won't eat jail food, doesn't sleep much, and whines a lot? He's doing his whole 3 years, regardless.

Well the average prisoner isn't sitting on a fortune...

In California, the guy caught with some pot would get a $100 fine and no jail time. I don't think any state puts a person away for 3 years for possession of marijuana.

The wife of the prosecutor in the Hilton case served no time for a very smilar offense.

Edit: Ironically, I just noticed I initially voted to throw the book at her and give her the maximum sentence.

Paris will be paid $1 million for an interview after she leaves jail. This is sickening.

I guess that would explain why she wasn't eating and sleeping. Still, most people in the jail managed to adjust to the heat.

Err :rolleyes: or is that what you meant? :smile:
