4. Has the 'grown ups' label on the picture.

There are some people that think 'grown ups' are those that know better, it is many times a superiority claim.

Note that comment has nothing to do with the person in the photo.



There are actually people that have said growing up is being mean, and growing out of concepts of justice and compassion.



I can prove that is wrong.


Ask anyone at the end of their life and presumably after, what was important to them. Their answers will tell you what grown up is, and it is not about what many think it is about.

11. Yes...as long as you're beautiful, anything can be forgiven.

Retribution is for us plain folk. :eyes:

This is not a slam on Ms. Hayek--I wish her all the best. Nor against undocumented workers--I loathe the rampant bigotry against them. I'm just tired of this society worshiping so-called "beautiful people" and constantly giving them free passes (there are studies that show this is true). :mad:

9. I'm not surprised by either thing

She's a great talent. I'm glad somebody with the ability to allow her to use that talent recognized it.

Most people don't get that chance.

10. It would not have been hard at all for her to qualify for a student visa at the time

She bypassed the US vaccination and criminal background check requirements. I'm glad it worked out for her, but what she did was wrong and unnecessary.

13. Is she still an illegal immigrant?

If not then who gives a f*ck? Sounds like her story is a good one for the Illegal Immigrants out there - come to the country illegally and then do the necessary paperwork to make yourself legal.

Was an illegal immigrant.

15. so now high paid acting jobs are jobs americans won't do?

no offense to hayek but some arguments actually hurt your cause, and it might make more sense to STFU than to argue that oh well, a high paid multi million dollar acting career is a job americans won't do!!!

scabs are scum and to shove tits in my face and say "but if the scab has good tits it's OK" is not a good argument for your side

[blondeatlast]

18. Um, what? Me and the tits have no idea why you'd think we'd want

to shove the pretty things in your face...
