    Should Paris Hilton go to jail?

    So when I logged in, this was what the banner at the top of the page said.

    So what do you think?

    She had her license revolked, and then was stopped for a dui.

    I meant to post a poll, but when I tried to fix it, I got a server busy message.

    Yes! She should have went to jail from day one just like you or I would have if we had been convicted of reckless driving under the influence. Probation was a very light sentence for the crime.

    She drove while drunk, try that in the Air Force and you not only go to jail you lose your job (military discharge).

    Now that she broke probation she should have all previously suspended sentences invoked and sent to jail.

    This celebrity preferential treatment needs to stop. Think what it does to children growing up who worship these celebs to see them get away with crimes.

    Re: Should Paris Hilton go to jail?

    not sure if it made the news in the states, but when she was in Australia, she stopped at a caffee to get some lunch and her and her entourage left without paying. I think this bespeaks a lack of awareness of other. the driving offence is just the same. I feel that these crimes should be persecuted to the full extent of the law if only for the example it sets. Incidentally our media got over the story very quickly so i assume someone from her staff contacted the store concerned and paid them the bill.

    yes, she should be. But she won't be. Just gotta accept it, accept that we live in a hypocritical society.

    Yes. No one should be allowed to look that good and make that much money.

    you think she looks good? I think she's incredibly unattractive.

    Re: Should Paris Hilton go to jail?

    I have to agree with Alex, under all that make-up and really with make-up on she really is not that attractive. Anyways, it just shows you how they always get a slap on the wrist and sent home. What happens when the day comes she actually kills someone, than, sympathy for the rich tramp or for the victim and their family. Let's see, I'll wager a guess that it will be the tramp. Sorry if I seem a little bit harsh, not.

    Re: Should Paris Hilton go to jail?

    I think she should goto jail. She broke the law, now its time to pay for it.

    Then they could make a new season of "The Simple Life - Jail". Then we'll see how she turns out.

    Re: Should Paris Hilton go to jail?

    I believe she should go to jail ...

    I don't think anyone should be under the penality of the law when a criminal act was done... models / actors / professional sports players .... wealth and popularity should not get you off ....


    I agree that she isn't very attractive .... but ... when you see pics of her in her scantily clothed body you just can't help but take a gander

    Re: Should Paris Hilton go to jail?

    I don't know enough about the case to offer an opinion..about all I know is that I hear her name once in a while.
    Walter's and Brent's disagreement about her looks caused me to look at some images.
    She's much better looking than Anna Nichole Smith was for sure.
    Keep Shooting!

    Anna let herself go with becoming popular ... her early photos are very stunning ...

    the may issue of playboy did a "tribute" toward her and interviewed some of the people that worked with her and she really let the "higher lifestyle" affect her. Whereas Hilton grew up with $$ and is used to being in the spotlight. I think Smith in her "hay-day" is 110% better than Paris anyday ...

    Re: Should Paris Hilton go to jail?

    Okay, I better set the record straight on this one. I don't find her especially attractive. But, I am comparing her to other Hollywood starlettes. If she showed up on my doorstep I'd probably go out with her ;)

    OK, but you wouldn't introduce her to the family, and i would hope you'd kick her out before the sun came up:blush2:

    Re: Should Paris Hilton go to jail?

    I had to reply to this post because just last night I had a conversation with a freind about all the gossip news. Conclusion #1 no sympathy for celebreties that get in trouble. #2 celeb news doesn't really intrest us. #3 some people follow this crap like it was their own lives on the line and thats scary!

    Re: Should Paris Hilton go to jail?

    Anyone remember the AP ban on Paris in the news a couple months ago? I think it's a great idea for crap like that, but it makes you wonder what else the media could keep from the public.

    That's not even a slap on the wrist.

    Come on, she had lost her drivers license and was still driving... DRUNK!

    Us non-celeb folks would get a year at the least not to mention the fines we can't afford and forced into a rehab program, where celebs volunteer to go to rehab and JQ public holds them up on a pedestal for it.

    I'm so tired of it, it's all we hear in the news. These guys will do anything to get their photo/name in the spotlight. They're mentally ill, not enough attention from daddy when they were younger or something, I dunno.

    Anyways, ya'll know how I feel about it now.

    Of course she belongs in jail. Bad taste should be a crime!
