Paris Hilton's recent arrest for driving on a suspended license and now her recent court hearing and sentencing. Both Paris and her mother Kathy felt that the sentence Paris received was “Harsh and Cruel and Unnecessary”. How is getting 45 days in prison considered cruel, harsh and unjust? Then Kathy Hilton is quoted making a comment along the lines of how a lot of money was invested when her daughter is a grown adult woman who needs to take responsibility for what she does. This is the display and disgraceful parenting that you see right there front and center. Kathy Hilton has no idea how to be a mother because if she was a real mother she would have been telling her daughter she wasn't trying to hear why she was driving on a suspended license. Paris got off fairly easy with 45 days because a charge like hers could have cost her a couple years in prison and she's trying to use her celebrity to get her out of messes she gets into.

The law is clear and if non-celebrities have to follow it so should the rich famous. Since when were they entitled to use their fame to get themselves out of things they get into. There's this thing that today's society has failed as a whole across the board with all races and ethnicities is personal responsibility and accountability. Paris Hilton is just one of millions of people who are just like her who do things because they simply believe in their heads they can get away with it. In Paris Hilton's case she has no real concept of what the real world is like since she's had everything given to her and hasn't really worked for anything and thinks her money was going to buy her way out of jail. What the judge over this case was trying to do was using her as an example as what the law is and it's clear you want to break the law you have to accept the consequences of your actions. Paris needs to see what life is like without all that money and the paparazzi chasing you all over the world she'll have a better appreciation for the work her grandfather made of himself to provide a comfortable life for his family to where they have no need or want for anything. This is the very behavior that would make Paris' great-grandfather Conrad spin in his grave because he's looking the sheer wastefulness of what his socialite great-granddaughter is doing with the empire and fortune he built from the ground up.

Paris is in her 20s at what point does personal accountability supercede denial and trying to buy your way out of something because you got endless money and all you think that cutting a check for something will make it go away. This will be on her record and no matter what she pulls it's not going to go away. It's pretty sad that it had to get to this point had Paris followed the conditions of her probation or whatever the court instructed, but NO she's Paris Hilton she can't be seen going to jail it's not good for her image. To be frankly honest her image hasn't been good since she hit the scene more than 5 years ago and when that sex tape was released to the internet by her then boyfriend Ric Solomon-ex husband of actress Shannen Doherty. Even then Paris was trying to put on that front of hers which also just says she wasn't taking responsibility for the fact that you allowed yourself to be exploited for someone else's financial gain.

It doesn't seem as if Paris or her sister Nicole had some kind of structured life because it was all either spent with nannies and housekeepers while their mother was being the typical wealthy socialite flossing out the latest designer handbag other than being a mother to her children.It was clear that Paris lacked not only education, but common sense as well since she made a comment about having 4 kids and leaving them with a nanny, what kind of idiot thinks that children are indispensable property it's like when she gets tired of something after a day and tosses it away and goes out and buys a new thing.

Paris' parents are trying to act like parents now when it should have started before Paris turned 5 since by the time kids get to that age they're pretty much set in their ways in terms of behavior, but it doesn't excuse them from thinking that because they got all this money they're permitted to buy their way out of things when they need to be held accountable for their behavior. When you mix poor parenting and lack of education this is what you have. Paris didn't help Britney Spears much with her partying and fast lifestyle and then you see them photographed with her son Sean Preston when a baby doesn't need to be at the club with grown adults when he needs to be home. Britney didn't learn much from her friendship with Paris and neither has Lindsay Lohan. Paris can't even begin to talk about anything rational and then get out here acting a real fool. Then you got young girls out here who idolize Paris and her partying ways and that also comes to another point she's a terrible role model to young girls and women everywhere. Paris Hilton could have made something of herself like helping to run the family business, but she's too busy living on the fame of her family name and the fruits of her grandfather and great-grandfather's labor.
