Rich or Famous?

That\'s a bit of a \"cake or death\" question isn\'t it? Who in their right mind would want to be poor and famous?

Depends on what your famous for, if I had to say famous for acting or sporting achievements I\'d rather be rich cause I\'d want to live a normal life, not that of a celebrity.
But say hypothetically speaking famous:- like Bruce Willis character in Armageddon then yeah I\'d like to be famous for saving the world or another person\'s life.

yeah well you don\'t get famous for saving people\'s lives these days unfortunately. But if you go walking around in public with a short skirt and no undies you\'re golden!

Sadly your right. Which in truth is such a shame, but the next time a HUGE asteroid coming heading our way and we need someone to stay and pressed the button to blow up the nuke thats been drilled 30 miles in to it, someone tell NASA I\'m there\'s, for £30.

Only 30 quid???? Man!

Yeah it\'s sad when people who do good deeds go unnoticed or not thanked. Not that I\'ve done good deeds for glory mind you but it just would have been nice. I\'ve saved a baby from drowning. Fell into the deep end of a pool, I happened to be swimming laps and went down and grabbed the child, brought him up still sputtering water so it wasn\'t overly serious. The lifeguards had no idea what was going on. I was about 7 when that happened. Yep that\'s right . . . at age 7 I was already on swim team and strong enough of a swimmer to do that.

The other good deed was in Phoenix. I was driving a coworker home and we were on a busy 8 lane main road in down town Phoenix when I noticed cars were slowing down and stopping. Then a small little dog, couldn\'t have been more than 10 lbs came into my view. The dog had already been hit once but was trying to find a safe way out of the road. So I stopped traffic, got out, got the dog and pulled over. I then called animal control to at least get the dog and patch him up. He had an inch long gash, pretty deep too, in his haunch. I hope that dog found a good home.

But those kids of things are never in the news. Only about celebrity rehabs or misbehavior.

I can\'t say I\'ve done many great deeds either, but honestly if I could do something to make the difference then I would, atmo I\'m trying to get in to the UK police force which I suppose can be a big help to my community, its not the same thing, but like you said, I don\'t try to get famous for doing the right thing.

I would say fame. With fame, I would be able to cash in by selling my likeness or endorsing products, and would then become rich.

Once rich and famous, I would then run for government and acquire an even sillier handle than I already have.

ie: \'The Governator\'

That\'s right. I want to go the Arnold Schwarzeneggar route.

Fame for bodybuilding, rich for acting, then into public office. Only I\'ll never be famous for bodybuilding.

Rich. Who wants the hassles of being famous? With the money you get all the perks and it\'s far less work.



Who said I was lazy!?! I\'ll kick their butt when I\'m done with these cookies and milk and my evening nap! ;)

I picked whatever the choice was that didn\'t have either option. It may sound weird, I know, but I don\'t want to be rich or famous.

I would rather be a rich nobody than a poor somebody. apparently Heath Ledger was only worth $100k at the time of his death, but he still had the curse of his celebrity following him around. Not that I think 100k is poor but man I would have though he\'d have more money than that.

Well actually many of us online here would be worth 100k... Heck I\'m poor as a church mouse at the moment, have been for the last two years and will be for the next couple months at least (due in no small part to closing down my business and starting fresh in a new industry) but still have a net worth of around 100k almost all of which comes from the equity in my home. Being a homeowner really aids in the net worth department.

Shouldn\'t that middle bit read \"if you are a hot girl that everyone HAS HAD a piece of...\"? Well everyone but me, but that\'s typical. :drunk:
