I never understood the point of his show. Kind'a Kardashian before the Kardashians.

Voyeurism. I hate these shows like the Kardashians and all the others and don't understand their appeal. I think the one voyeuristic show I liked, especially in it's first season because it was so jaw dropping hilarious was the Osbournes.

IMO a thread about either one is doesn't mean much to be. But at least it's something to see when I come here
What is there to say about Aretha other than she was such a great singer. Even saying that I can't say I was ever to crazy about her.
She sounded like a thousand other black women to me. Not like Whitney or Dionne Warwick.

I don't see that Robin Leach's show was like the Kardishians at all. I never really watched watched it his show on purpose but I remember watching it anyway.
IMO it was more about the houses, the architecture and basically just all the expensive shit. And not about the drama between shallow rich bored celebrities trying to find a meaning for why they are here

They were two completely different things.

Those olden times when we still believed in rags to riches stories and the American Dream.

I think the possibility of rags to riches is greater in this country than any other. It's probably a proven fact.

I'm not convinced that's true. It's certainly advertised as such so it could be.

I no longer post anything I care about here anymore. He was one of a small handful of decent Republicans left and the country is diminished by his passing.

Nothing Burgers, with an occasional comment of my own. These days most of my extra time is spent encouraging first time voters to get registered.

I'm not convinced that's true. It's certainly advertised as such so it could be. The US alone claims 13.6 million adults with a net worth above $1 million — that's 41% of all the world's millionaires and more than the next eight countries combined.
Maybe this will convince you?
"The millionaire population isn't necessarily a indicator of broad wealth within a country. Despite having the most millionaires by a gaping margin, the median wealth for adults in the US is only $44,977. Of the 18 countries with more than 200,000 millionaires, that's a lower median wealth figure than all but Germany ($42,833), Sweden ($39,692), and China ($4,885).
Those 18 countries don't have the drugs , crime. ghettos gangs like we do.and despite that we have [b]41% of all the world's millionaires [/b]It would be higher if we didn't have a large amount of coasters, lazy asses, people who work the system.
What I'm saying in our country the median wealth for adults in the US is only $44,977. because of drugs , crime. ghettos gangs and lazy ass people

I'm not sure what all you're trying to get at. Having a million bucks isn't the measurement it used to be. Also it doesn't really have anything to do with "rags to riches" necessarily.
So, no I'm still not convinced. In fact your highlighted argument above would seem to not support your point.
