It was reported that she cried through out the court hearing, and when she was sentenced she cried out "That's not fair!" and then she turned around and starting asking for her mother.

You know what's not fair? That a celebrity gets special treatment. If a run-of-the-mill guy had committed the same crime, which is a disgusting crime at that, then he/she would have gotten a harsher sentence with no room for special treatment.

I dont think that the fact that she;s a millionaire has anything to do with her crying while being taken off to jail. If I was a millionaire, though, Id have a driver to take me everywhere
Actually I think it does. The girl didn't even graduate from High School and has been handed everything in life. She obviously has no respect for anything so when she has to have a hard time she will completely collapse. She has the intelligence of a cow and the responsibility of an LA homeless drunk.

That's exactly right. Paris got out of jail because her father paid somebody off. This is one of the serious problems with our legal system. Rev. Al Sharpton, a person who I usually do not take seriously, was right when he said that 99% of people in jail would not receive such treatment, let alone if they are black and low class. The guy speaks the truth here and if anything Paris should serve more time because of her social status.

I didn't find an actual video of theirs, but here's one with some other b.s. :

It's called "Tony Presidio" - their best imo.

Now that's some good shit, Tahir. The first is sickness and I'm already downloading it. The Spanish lyrics are so nice to hear for a change along with a sick beat.

Good shit bro, respect.

btw, I don't know, but I think you'll like this song by Looptroop, a Swedish rap group. They rap in English.

Man, I'm really enjoying this variety of rap from other countries. This stuff is good as well and I'm surprised I found it on Limewire. There's nothing more interesting than experiancing the music you love that originates from other countries.

You have a good ear for foreign rap, Tahir.

I don't know why Syriana is one of my favorite movies, but it just is. The whole plot of the movie is just so intriguing that I'm just drawn to it. Perhaps its because I have a special interest in derivatives trading, but the movie as a whole really portrays the world we live in. In all honesty, perhaps I haven't seen a movie that pertains to the world in such a distinct way... besides those based on historical events.

Andries, you may know what I'm talking about.

It's so fucking retarded when Bob is being honest with the "Committee to Liberate Iran," but what he tells them is not what they want to hear. So they fuck him over, despite him being truthful. The Committee to Liberate Iran... I love laughing at that group. There is probably an equivilent group in DC as we speak.

It is indeed a great movie. But what some critics said, and they might have a point, is that the movie was so complicated it wasn't appealing to a lot of people. I have always loved it though.

My brother's in Law and he tells me that it doesn't work that way; just because someone else got away with it doesn't mean you will and you can't use that as an argument. Pado would confirm that, I'm pretty sure.

I don't know how the law works in Belgium, but if that's how it is, it's a joke.
You can't use it as your only argument, that's for sure. And we are of course talking about someone who has actually stood on trial, right? Obviously you can't use the example of a criminal they never caught. If he did, and wasn't convicted, I'd think you can use it as an example to further enhance whatever it is you're saying.

Watch that movie as much as I have, and you'll understand it almost entirely. The way the connections come forth are stunning and I'm pretty much sure this is the way things work in this world. The complications of the movie are indeed hard to follow, especially the role of the DC law firm having control over Connex-Killen. But in reality it makes sense because lawyers make deals go forward and money talks, as well as coersion on an individual level.

assuming you re correct (i dont think you are) why should we care?
We shouldn't care actually. We should actually hope for the worst for her because she is a disgrace to civilization. She's a disgrace to the human race.

Don't get me wrong Altair, you're an intelligent guy but you seriously state some of the most outlandish things. In all honesty it seems like you live a similar life to Paris and that's why you defend her. Only somebody so apathetic towards decency would defend such a person.

I'm not going to agree with Seven on judicial matters just for the fact that he has never been to law school... that place will honestly make you a machine and Pado has been through it and owns a successful law firm. That, alone, will make me believe the truth regarding these judicial matters on this forum. Forza Pado.

One of my favorite quotes ever, from the movie in question:

"But what do you need a financial advisor for? Twenty years ago you had the highest Gross National Product in the world, now you're tied with Albania. Your second largest export is secondhand goods, closely followed by dates which you're losing five cents a pound on... You know what the business community thinks of you? They think that a hundred years ago you were living in tents out here in the desert chopping each other's heads off and that's where you'll be in another hundred years, so on behalf of my firm I accept your offer."

That's exactly how I think of it mate ;) I've listened to rap from all over the world. Frankly, I was sick and tired of American rap. I couldn't stand the whole "cash, money, hoes" shit that hit rap. Nobody does it like the Wu Tang, BIG, 2 Pac, Nas (ony of my favorites as well) anymore.

Tomorrow I'll throw some Brazilian and Portuguese rap your way :)

It's an excellent movie along with Crash. Both portray what you say. Syriana on an international level and Crash on a national.
