    It’s simple: I also worked where I am (arguably harder than a movie star) and I don’t have a fucking mansion and 10 million to throw at charities.

    It’s not fair so don’t expect us to treat them fairly.

      If you think making movies is so easy, then go and do it.

      If it’s way easier than what you do then it shouldn’t be that difficult right?

          Please stop mocking the rock. for the love of Pete and everything that is holy, please leave the fact he makes more on a single movie than most of the small towns and villages of the area are worth. Oh please stop mocking the rich and super well off whoa are asking everyone to give money they could give themselves in, but only want to give so much.

          How is rock going to be rich if he’s just helping useless assholes who can’t afford to help themselves?

          you probably don’t even give when wal mart tells you to.

      Oprah Winfrey grew up in inner city poverty where she was sexually abused, bounced to different homes, so maybe we don’t pretend her path was easy.

      Her current wealth is the result of the decisions she’s made. Not every wealthy person can say that they earned their wealth but as she started with nothing… she can.

        Now ask yourself 2 things:

        1. Who got fucked to get her where she is?

        2. Does she need that much more than us, and why doesn’t she feel the need to give it all back to help people who are in that situation she started out in?

          1. Who got fucked to get you where you are? How much slave labor contributes to your lifestyle? Should we hold you responsible because you put your own comfort before that of those toiling in sweatshops?

          2. Did you need that smartphone more than they needed a living wage? Why don’t you feel the need to give it all back to help people out who will never be as rich as you are right now?

            Thanks for reminding me the very reasons of my depression, I could’ve handled that myself.
