Well, most of people still believe

...that the ideal person is someone, who is intelligent, who strives to be a great artist, or scientist, or philanthropist, or builder, or thinker/philosopher, or someone who cares about learning, who works hard...

on them.

Our modern society is based not on a desire to improve the state of the world, or to improve ourselves through hard work and determination. We no longer believe that the ideal person is someone who works hard, who is intelligent, who strives to be a great artist, or scientist, or philanthropist, or builder, or thinker/philosopher, or someone who cares about learning. We believe that the ideal person is someone who has no responsibility and can basically have carefree fun and that's it. In my opinion Paris Hilton is a microcosmic example of the sad state of modern role-models, and the poor standard that we now set for our children to strive for.

Exactly.

Those guys annoy me.

God, chicks are such hypocrites. They are constantly barking about "big emotions, feelings, romances and other similar shit", while all they want are such morons.

See what you don't get is that when they say that what they really mean is that they want attention and pampering, the kind everyone else notices. It's a simple difference in definition really.

I haven't been getting a lot of sleep.

I guess I don't understand why people go out of their way to make themselves look like idiots.
