NO violence towards women, child or man should be tolerated.
UN General Secretary Kofi Annan said,
"Violence against women is perhaps the most shameful human rights violation, and it is perhaps the most pervasive (widespread). It knows no boundaries of geography, culture or wealth. As long as it continues, we cannot claim to be making real progress towards equality, development, and peace."
Nicole Brown Simpson might have been called similar names as what you are calling Paris Hilton. Does that mean she was any less an innocent victim?

come on emmanuelle.. did I say I agreed with it or that she deserved it...NO..I did not!
I said I find it sickening that the media is making this out to be something more than what it was. Why don't they do this for those that that are abused and beaten to death.. I guess it wouldnt pay that well and that no one cares if a wife gets beaten to death in front of her kids (example).
The media hype makes me nauseus and it's taking away the seriousness of the situation of abuse. She is using the media to attract attention to "herself"..not to the fact that this is like a disease to many households and something should be done about it...she wants pity and america is giving it to her..once again.
Nicole simpsons case was totally different..and you know it.. that woman was repeatadly beaten and abused over numerous years till she was finally brutally murdered by her abuser and he walked free and clear. Paris got into the cab with nick.. yeah like he forced her.. please.. If i was standing there and I thought my girlfriend was in danger.. she would have been physically removed from the area and the asshole..so her friends are that clueless or maybe she has no true friends.. could all be alcohol induced..who knows.
I do know there are guys on here that are saying she deserved it and you are picking me and putting words on here that I did not say nor do I agree with.
