She's a woman daring to exist (on the internet no less). Of course she gets hate mail.

Obviously I don't agree with you and I understand the concept of exchanging one group with the other to see how insane my post sounds.

I don't really give a fuck about people doing it to themselves, I hope they learn their lesson and die a painful death* (unless smoking is a direct result of poverty). Unfortunately, it doesn't happen often enough and not in the way that anyone draws the connection.

I might be wrong but in Sharia law I think you actually do need four male witnesses.

I once saw an interview where she talk about always thinking that she wasn't a good enough singer and some day people would realize that. Then Marc Anthony helped her getting over that and accept how talented she was.

I never read Anne Frank in school. I wish I would have. I read it on my own eventually.

I never was able to get over her anti-abortion song.

Have you seen him in Fast Times of Ridgemont High?

Lol.

Even within those parameters, I personally won't know anyone in my life time who will ever have close to 20 million dollars and I know many people who are comfortably middle class and even more people - including myself - who are dirt poor.
