omfg!
dude!
i cannot agree with you more!
Sherilyn Fenn was uber hawtness back in the day…
ever noticed how one of her nips was way smaller than the other? i’d still hit that though, nipple imperfection and evrything.
wut were we talking bout again?
oh yeah, chuck sheen aka carlos estavez.
i blame the latino in him for this, not to b rascist or anything, just sayin’, latins r saucy yunno, i should know, me being one of them.
carlos isn’t being crazy…
he’s just being latin.
CBS should understand that Carlos is just blowin off some steam and letting his latino hair down 4 a while.
and re-hire him.
aaaaah right this crucial information has reset my opinion like. Sheen is a spic, all is forgiven! That’s what I always tell my psychiatrist, come on dude I’m not bi polar I’m just mexican, chillax!
I’ve never done blow. I just can’t get over snorting it, and if you smoke blow that’s not crack, your lungs can’t handle it for long and you’ll die. So unless I can trade places with the dude while trading substances, fuck it, I’m outtie.
This thread has provided me with some serious laughs. Fishjie some of your analogies are stupid also…
Well yeah, anyone with half a brain would rather have the money. Question is, would you rather be rich and drugged up to your eyeballs all the time just to escape reality, banging hookers trying to convince yourself life is great and that you are happy when in actuality you’re misserable as shit and fucking insane or have far less money and be happy? Now I know which I’d rather do.
He’s got the world by the balls. He’s part of that 1% of people, and he seems like a cool enough guy so I’m totally fine with him wildin’ out. He’s right, he is winning.
Charlie Sheen is pure win. I’d do the same thing if I were him. I’d bang a shit ton of broads, tell everyone exactly how jealous they are of me and continually flip off society while rubbing my winning, tiger’s blood life in everyone’s faces…
He’s done exactly what he wanted: make the producers of 'Men look bad. I hope he comes back and completes that damn show, though now it is looking like he’ll be making $3M eventually. As for myself? If I had his money I wouldn’t indulge in hookers and drugs; I could do that now and prefer not to. With that kind of money I’d invest, sight-see, settle down and make a family, and dedicate my time to athletics and training. I’d also pay my way through Law school, rather than having to study for the LSAT
Sheen is a funny guy, sure, and I’d probably have a great time partying with him. However, he probably has the most primitive urges. More power to him because he’s enjoying his life, but personally I’d feel miserable in his shoes.
Question is, would you rather be poor and drugged up to your eyeballs all the time just to escape reality, banging hookers trying to convince yourself life is great and that you are happy when in actuality you’re misserable as shit and fucking insane or be rich and drugged up?
There is no situation in life where having more money is not more advantageous. That point flew completely over your head didn’t it?
You presented a false dichotomy. You act like the only two choices are having lots of money and being miserable, or having no money and being happy. That’s just stupid. There are countless people who have lost their homes and jobs. There are countless people who have been crippled by medical bills trying to take care of themselves or a loved one, because this nation’s health care sucks. There are countless couples who have gotten divorced over money issues; studies show it plays a large factor in divorces. There are pedantic examples but its obvious as shit that these people would be a lot happier if they had lots of money, then those hard times wouldn’t phase them.
Money isn’t a guarantee of happiness, but you’re stupid or have shitty personal finances if you think you’re better off without a lot of it.
Finally, there is absolutely nothing wrong with spending money on materialistic goods if you can afford it. The problem with americans today is that they are buying their flat screen TVs and ipods using their credit cards, not really understanding they’re spending money they don’t actually have. They buy houses they can’t afford, not understanding that they don’t really own the house as long as there is a mortgage, the bank does. Charlie Sheen can do whatever the hell he wants to with his money, because he can afford it. You cannot. Big difference.
of course I would. with that kind of money I would be able to make a positive impact on the world. I couldn’t compete with the big movers such as the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, but I’d certainly be able to help them. I can tell you with a straight face right now I want to at least be a millionaire before I die (adjusted for the ridiculous inflation that’s gonna come as a result of the quantitative easing). If I work my 9-5 job for the rest of my life, that’s already a guarantee (unless I am hit by a bus and/or the country implodes as a result of more wall street stupidity). Ideally I’d like to hit multi million before then. But I will not retire when I do. I will have worked really hard to have reached that point, and its not like I’m going to abandon the good habits that got me there. Will I party hard on occasion? Sure. But even celebrities are actively involved in charities. Sure it may be a publicity stunt, but I’m sure for a lot of them they want to make their mark on the world before they die.
You can always do drugs. There is no barrier for entry into doing drugs except for a little money. Even then you can find someone with drugs willing to share with you.
You missed the point fishje, I never said having more money is not better. I was trying to make a point this guy is not so much better than us. You kept going on about how he’s rich and banging hookers and that’s an amazing life to lead and everyone is jealous. What you’re not excepting is that the guy has basically got some major screws loose. You’re delusional if you don’t see this. I’m not saying watching him isn’t funny but seriously… The guy’s lost it.
The problem is that both the people lauding and criticizing his lifestyle are making the same error (I guess you could say the same thing for my post). No matter what you do, Mr. Sheen gets what he wants; attention. We are focusing on criticizing or applauding this guy when there are numerous other problems we should concern ourselves with. Not to say that everyone in this thread is ignoring everything else, but a large number of Americans are more concerned with this kind of shit than other things.
I do think consumerism is an issue though, Fishjie, wouldn’t you agree? The problem here is that you can’t separate “what you can afford” from the equation. The lower class will almost always try to be like the upper class if they are concerned with material wealth; in that case, they will almost always try to get shit even if they can’t afford it. It’s just the nature of our society and we can attribute it to one aspect that most Greek and Roman philosophers attacked in their day as well. Consumerism. This idea that I need that, or I want that, right now in order to make me happy is misleading and empty. I would say that this idea is the reason for stupid reality shows, decline in educational standards and the real basic retardation of American society. Why, for instance, worry about poor people in your community, or wars with other countries or history? What does that do for me NOW? Nothing so fuck it, let’s watch Jersey Shore and fuck everything else. Romans had this same problem, along with the objectification of women, before it collapsed by the way. Not going to say America will collapse like the Romans but it’s an interesting connection to the declination of society.
I can think of a few issues where having more money is not advantageous, btw. Money can change people around you who once loved you for you, into money hungry, backstabbing assholes. Read up on lottery winners who have become utterly MISERABLE after achieving more money. Like Biggie said, MORE MONEY MORE PROBLEMS.
lmao. leave it to charlie sheen to get srk debating the nature of man and his ambitions.
power, sex, money, fame, health, etc. are all worthless in the end (i.e. death). people just like to argue that their preferences and pursuits are the right way. in the rpg of life, charlie just put all his skill points into sex, drugs, and going out in blaze of glory lol.
funny thing is, if he doesn’t overdose, hollywood will probably welcome him back with open arms after some half ass apology on 60 minutes.
isn’t there something to be said about the quality or type of happiness you are acquiring?
If the happiest beings on earth were pigs rolling in mud, would you trade places with them? There’s something inauthentic about some forms of happiness, but maybe I’m just biased.
Isn’t it also true that the richer you get the more desires you acquire? Right now I’m perfectly fine without a Super Sports Car, fancy food and an expensive top tier Mansion.
But if I suddenly acquired 50million…I think my tastes would change, my expectations would go up; I’d be disappointed if I didn’t get the fancy shit I wanted.
Yo, this conversation is way more interesting than plain old boring celebrity gossip, which is only so entertaining and gets pretty insipid and stupid real fast. Although I’m still waiting for someone to make a charlie meme avatar.
Absolutely it is. A lot of people get caught up in keeping up with the keeping up with the Jonese. They don’t seem to realize that if your happiness is tied up purely with material possessions themselves, you will never be happy, because you’ll always want more. But if you derive your joy from something deeper, its fine. Like lets say your hobby is photography and you are passionate about it. Photography is expensive as shit. Having money will enable your passion. But if you are just buying a 2000$ lens so you can have a pissing contest with your wealthy neighbors, well no, you will be secretly miserable. So I’m saying its ok to buy material things, as long as there is a good reason for it and you can afford it.
Your point about lotto winners is a valid one:
There’s a difference between suddenly getting a shit ton of wealth and working your way up to it. Ever read the Millionaire Next Door? Most millionaires don’t engage in the materialistic bs that non millionaires do. There are people who make high six figures a year like lawyers may buy fancy shit to put on airs, but are essentially living paycheck to paycheck, and are saddled with a shitload of debt.
All millionaires had some passion in life that gave them the drive in life to succeed. This helped them develop good habits and good values, that the mass of american idol watching retards in america do not have. They will likely have found good intelligent friends with similar values. So in situations where a jershey shore watching, twilight loving, fast food eating, black tar heroine smoking girl wins the lotto, the phrase “you can take the dumb whore out of the trailer, but not the trailer out of the dumb whore” applies. However, if a millionaire got more millions from gambling (they wouldn’t buy lotto tickets anyway because lottery is a tax on dumb people), they wouldn’t change.
If he continues doing drugs and drinking, sure he will burn out. I don’t really see the problem in engaging in a little hedonism now and then. Everything in moderation. He can afford the parties, so why not? What exactly is he doing wrong?
