Equality

Why is it that athletes, movie stars, people in the music industry etc. get paid ridiculous amounts of money to do what they love while others are overwhelmed trying to survive? People work hard, wether it is physically or mentally yet pay scales vary widely. Some live in the laps of luxery while others are starving and don't have the necesities of life. When did mansions, fancy cars and expensive clothes become more valuable than human lives?

That's a very good point. People even look up to these celebs for doing it; for living the high, selfish life. It's like a lot of people want are getting tired of dealing with other people and dream of escaping them. I'm sure many of us here and have felt the same way from time to time, but I'm sure that if we came into money we'd be giving some of it back to make a positive difference. I'm amazed to see how many celebs can do the opposite.

Shortly after the gold-fever virus infected most of humanity...
Now Money is more valuable than all life, in this world's dying cultures...


"mansions, fancy cars and expensive clothes", is a person living to the best of their ability to own and experience comfort and frivolity... It's humanity's big universal dream.. living in luxury makes them feel a step or two "closer to heaven"...

Should a wealthy person, living in a fancy mansion, ever invite the public into his mansion.. they would steal all his toys, and piss on the trampled roses...

Because they are doing what we love... when others don't love anything but the dream...
