Right, among the super rich, there’s Andrew Carnegie, who did enormous good, and gave away his entire fortune, Contrasted with  JP Getty who was an abusive monster who terrorized his family. They would still have the same basic life philosophy and personalities even if they weren’t wealthy.

I’ll offer (checks wallet) $34 and a 30-day Metrocard. Take it or leave it.

Any time this site entertains the perspective of the extreme left-wing it’s a WILD ride.

Someone who does not believe all that liberal claptrap about global warming.

I mean, I’m pretty sure Cooper would give back his interitance if it meant his father didn’t die young, his brother didn’t jump off the balcony in front of his mother, his half-brothers weren’t estranged and, now that his mother is dead, he’s basically got no family left.

Agreed. The benefit of a family does not have to have religious ties. Raising a child in a “commune” absolves a specific individual of responsibility. This is why parents are legally responsible for a child’s care and basic needs. Whether that’s 2 moms or 5 dads or whatever...having a small group care for one child is…

Gloria Vanderbilt was cut off from her wealthy family when she married Anderson Cooper’s father, who I believe was a writer and actor from Mississippi. She amassed a huge amount of that fortune by convincing many people in the 1970's, including me, to wear fancy jeans with her name stitched on the back pocket. She had…

Right? If I’m lucky my mom will leave me without too much debt. I’d take a house any damn day. 

I also think it has been reported, both here and elsewhere, repeatedly that she and her children have continued to refer to her as their dad. Just a weird, lazy mistake 

Abolishing the family unit is the one of the stupidest ideas I’ve heard in a while and I’m spending quality time with adolescents with behavioral disorders.

It appears to be at nearly sea level, so the rising Atlantic will submerge it within a few years, and then bye bye to $12m. Still someone with more money than brains will buy it. And the grift goes on.

You don’t have to abolish the traditional family in order to make non-traditional or chosen families acceptable.

I.. don't get the Anderson Cooper snark. His mother just passed and she left him, HER SON, her estate? Groundbreaking.  Are yall just shitting on things to be edgy now? 

I mean why shouldn’t a gossip columnist shit on an actual journalist who has been on the front lines of Iraq and Afghanistan reporting along with tragedies such as the Pulse Shooting, the Haitian Earthquakes and the devastation in Puerto Rico? Along with being a Peabody, Emmy and Cronkite award recipient?

can I skip the line?  my dad owns a dealership. 

Didn’t you know that its “cool” and “edgy” to mock people who’re obviously broken up about the loss of a parent?

The natives tell of a bizarre species of reptile on that island, animals that were not created by God. They call them Chlamydiasaurs.

i think that is a great way to raise your kid.. like hey— you aren’t getting anything. go earn a living, be successful on your own... then SURPRISE! Here is a little something... or a lot of something.

It’s where we’ve been for a while—though even for this site that was a strained rant.

Any new driver should consider learning late at night to gain confidence: little to no traffic, said traffic has lights on (no surprises), kids asleep (no darting into the road), and if you mess up there is nobody to see it!
