[kabbes]

you can't really call Spacey the dregs of hollywood tbf. He's one of the finest and most successful actors of his generation.

And yet now irrevocably tarnished.

 

[killer b]

fine and successful actors are quite often revolting scum tbf.

Cool. So what possesses him to imagine that he can help eliminate African poverty by taking out permanent membership of the mile-high club in the company of billionaire crooks and thugs?

He may be a decent actor, but he's still the dregs of Hollywood.

 

[Belushi]

Isnt Spacey gay?

You appear to be one of those weird people who think poverty can only be eliminated by significant socio-economic change.

Maybe that's why he was invited? More female teenage hookers for the rest of them to choose from.

 

[el-ahrairah]

i'm sure they would have brought along a young lad or two for kevin. they're a charitable lot.

the elimination of poverty *is* significant socio-economic change

 

[Wilf]

the elimination of poverty *is* significant socio-economic change

I know.

 

[Pickman's model]

I know.

but moves to eliminate it run counter to god's plan: 'the poor will always be with us'

He's a typical US liberal, no? Opposed to the idea of poverty in principle, but also opposed to the idea that his wealth and that of other rich people is part of the problem.

 

[killer b]

just a typical liberal then.

That's not what I really object to though. That's understandable, and probably universal among the privileged.

The problem for me is this assumption that he can solve the problems of the world by jetting around Africa in an airborne bordello in the company of billionaire paedophiles and bomber of Khartoum.

It's absurd and grotesque, but it follows from the idea that poverty is in no way linked to wealth, which itself is an absurd position. The 'Bono fallacy'.

And that's where you've got it arse about face; the big problem isn't his misconception about his abilities but rather his incomprehension about the structure he benefits from.

They can eradicate some poverty by looking at lucrative investments which has readily available cheap labour to service. The rich justify their wealth to themselves by things like job creation. They are wealth creators in their eyes.

Indeed. The poor would be even poorer without their efforts.

Ironic, really, that people who would cast scorn on Ayn Rand are really following her logic to a tee. Who is John Galt?

There are some people who simply don't deserve oxygen: Epstein, Andrew and Dershowitz are three of such people.

The concept being floated in the media that the rapist may have immunity if he is royal is gobsmacking.

Value vampires; he undead totally reliant on the lives of others for their survival if only they'd recognise it/have it forced upon them.*

Surely the category 'royal' demands just this sort of privilege...which tells you all you need need to know abut its social utility.

Bugger, I thought you were all toasting the news of Andrew's arrest for noncery.

Turns out you're just taking the piss out of Louis

Did anyone here think any different? Maybe in law there is no immunity for royals, but the law can be ignored whenever necessary and it frequently is for far less 'important' people than a prince.
