I could point out again in detail how she parties less than some college girls, how she was the victim of someone she trusted releasing intimate records of a committed relationship; but I think it'd be lost on you.

Dear decadence,
How your delightful wit gives me a good chuckle. You are trying to defend the dubious honour and character of a person whom I have apparently and callously besmirched. I admire the way you have risen splendidly to the occasion of defending Paris Hilton. Alas, your lack of character makes itself plain by your blatant and unwarranted attack on my personal character by dubbing me a "foul-mouthed jealous brat". May I point out the fact that I have not had the honor of meeting you so for you to presume to know something about me is quite presumptous. My attack on Miss Hilton however, stands due to the fact that one can hardly turn the pages of a paper or magazine or turn on the television or Internet without seeing yet ANOTHER scandalous yet true story about her. This original post was not about the unfortunate taste in men she apparently had as is proved by the "gentleman" who taped the sexual encounter & publicized it. The post was about negative image she gives to already embattled sororities who are trying to overcome the negative stereotypes given to us because of the actions of girls like her.
Also, would you really like to know what my knowledge consists of regarding classical mythology? Let us say we leave the conventional Greek gods and try something new.
We could discuss the mythology of Africa that has gods like Unkulunkulu (The Supreme Creator), Nzambi the Sun god, and Leza the god of Rain.
Or we could discuss the Japanese Creators Izanagi and Izanami or the Ocean god Susanowo.
Or China's Supreme Ruler Shang Di.
The Inca's had Viracocha the Lord of the World and Inti the Sun God.
The Celts had The Dagda (Lord of Knowledge).
Then there is Odin the Norse chief of gods.
In India, there is Surya the Sun god and Ganga, the guardian of the Ganges River.
My personal favorites are the Egyptian gods. Re (sometimes called Ra or Phra) is the Sun god, Nut (sometimes spelled Nuit or Neuth) is the Sky god, Geb the Earth god is unusual in that he is referred to as the earth mother, and Amun, god of wind and ruler of the air.
Take it as you wish but do not presume to know others ignorance before you look at your own.
