    this is so stupid.

    Its like trying to tell someone the sky is blue and they keep saying, no its maroon.

    I have tried again and again to say I understood why people move out of their small houses once they get famous. In fact i said that in my first post. I said I understood. I even said there is a genuine threat of people killing or assaulting celebrities.

    Yet this thread is made up not, of constructive insights into why or why not people do this, but bashing my thread and saying I am an idiot or I am insensitive to peoples need for privacy.


    What do you want from me.

    This board has some great people, and its a board dedicated to a great band, but alot of you are pretty insensitive.

    If a person disagrees with the band or with an idea, its bash so and so time.

    And lets be real here. Lets be honest with each other. The whole idea of suburbs came out of the fear of blacks and crime. Thats the truth, whether you folks want to mock me or not, its fact. White flight, urban decay, crime, racism, gentrification.

    So excuse me for suggesting

    I dont tow the party line and never will reguardless of if I am bullied on this board or elsewhere. I dont agree with PJ all the time, and I dont think they are above criticism. If they do something I dislike I aint gonna lie, I will say what I think. But the thread isnt about PJ, its about society, and how modern society is.

    When people get wealthy they move to a big house away from other folks, and around people like them. That may be human nature or normal, I just find it odd.

    The fact you all seem to see it as no big deal is even more the point of the post.

    I dont know, maybe I am different, I just think, you make a million bucks, and you buy a house, maybe a new sportscar, but what does it all do for you?

    Dont pretend you havent all seen Mtv's Cribs. Its more than, "I am proud of my house and my success", its showboating. Its showing off. Its status.

    I understand but I also disagree.

    yeah i think people here are maybe being a little harsh towards you, but then again, the way you asked the question was a little ridiculous. the thing is, i don't think that all these people live in huge mansions, they just have nice houses in private areas. personally i love some peace and quiet, if had enough money there is no question that i would move to a more private location and have a nice house. i wouldn't want to live in a mansion though, as i think larger houses feel a little empty and are kind of pointless. my dad has a huge house, and i watched it for a week while he went on vacation, by the end of the week i was sick of it. it was so overwhelming. but anyway, i don't think you can assume that all 'famous people' live in mansions because of the many douche bags that you see on mtv cribs, (what a ridiculous show) but i'm sure their houses are nice and secluded. what do you expect, i have millions of dollars but i'm gonna by a run-down apartment in a noisy city? that's a bit absurd. the only person who would do that is redman who is the man by the way. as i mentioned on the previous post.
