Dude, I understand your disappointment, in a way. You had an expectation of how these people should conduct themselves and they didn't meet that expectation. It's unfortunate, but it is a large part of what is wrong with out society today. The people that we tend to look at as role models and idols are really just regular people with regular people lives and problems. Maybe a question you should ask yourself is why do you expect them to be or act a certain way? Because they're in the public eye? Because they ride quads good, or play basketball, or sing, or are in movies? Is it fair to say to them, "Hey, this dude is a fan, but he doesn't like you cussing or discussing your affairs of the internet, you need to stop doing those things". I don't think that would be fair to them...
If you're going to admire someone for their skills or talents, admire their skills and talents. If you're looking for role models, look to your parents, or the people that teach you the life lessons that make you the good person you are.

motox26- I see your point too. But what is defined as a bad " personal habit" today? Seems like more and more extremes are being accepted today. I don't think many famous people realize the effect they have on people that look up to them... and if they do... do they care... or do they not think they are doing anything wrong. Thats what it all keeps boiling down to. What is right and what is wrong. That has certainly changed over the years. Even in the last decade.
they are just like any other person. take a look at any other persons myspace and ull see grls commenting "ilu, and i wanna bang u" and all that good stuff on there. they are just meeting new people and talkin and havin fun. just kuz they are pro's doesnt mean they cant talk to any1 or have a normal lifestyle like any1 else.
Just to clear things up a little bit.... I am not trying to condemn them (or ANYONE else who may have similar beliefs or anyone who doesnt find what they are doing wrong) or tell them what to do or point out what they are doing wrong.... I'm just stating that I was disappointed after hearing a lot about them and seeing their talent and becoming stunned with awe after Huevos 7 then viewing their "myspace's" and realizing yeah, they really are very "normal" people just like the people I see everyday and go to school with. Now I know their is a very big group of people on the forums with a big range of moral values. We all have our beliefs in whats right/ wrong. I happen to be one of the kids that doesnt believe in cussing, premarital sex, drinking, etc. Whether there be many more like me or none at all.

The fact is that they ARE allowed do whatever they want. They DO have the same freedoms as EVERYONE else. And Paris... errrr... I dont even want to go there. Quite possibly the biggest spoiled brat in the U.S. She may have her looks and her money, but that ALL shes got. Just like tons of other celbs..... oh wait wait.... I forgot, she doesn't just have looks and money, she has the stupid dog too[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

I'm just disapointed. I've always heard good remarks about how they are the nicest people you could ever meet...

I don't think I ever viewed any of them as "role models." Like said before, I still do really admire their talents.

RC, don't you know them personally? I've seen you on Akraix before I do believe. Do you just know them from there?
