If you honestly don't believe that parents will do *anything* to make their child a star, then you've never met a "stage mom" or a "dance mom" (there even used to be a reality show called "Dance Moms" and those women were nuts.) Some parents will do absolutely anything, legal or not, to help their children fulfill whatever dreams they themselves may have, whether their child is truly deserving or not. I don't agree at all with your statement: "Children of the wealthy are normally groomed to be the heir of their family's fortunes" because children of the wealthy are groomed to be whoever and whatever they and/or their parents want, whether it's an opera singer or an actor or a dancer or a CEO - it's all the same to those rich enough to afford it.

You two are the reason this site has become much more judgmental lately. Seriously? You care more about mentioning your stan’s name than replying in a non-pissy way to a fellow human being? Goodbye. I will truly enjoy this block.

I am a devoted Christian, for many decades, actually. You're so judgmental, petty and self-righteous that you can't recognize anything outside your own (obviously very small) existence. Have fun with that. Oh, and SUPER loving to your "neighbors", too, I see. (That's sarcasm btw.)
"Lee Seung Gi already does the Buddhist rosary alongside Lee Da In's family" I'm sorry, but he was never a real…
People convert to other religions all the time, for all kinds of reasons, and it doesn't mean that they weren't a "real" [insert previous religion here] before then. It's a decision that's between them and whatever deity they ascribe to. Also, this is an unpopular opinion (but also an unspoken reality around the world) that you can be multiple religions at the same time, depending on cultural context and reality. (And just FYI, I'm a person who is very strongly a devoted person within one particular religious tradition, but also understands the historical and cultural realities and nuances of some of this.)
Hey, step back a wee bit and try to see this all from another point of view. How would you feel if a bunch of…
Why do you keep writing comments-the-size-of-books on here about this? I appreciate your wish to enlighten and bring some clarity to the situation with facts that weren't as openly available. But when you (like you just wrote) are just adding to the din on here because you like to debate, it just becomes noise...and there is already so much of that on this site.
Re: "culture"So if it's part of culture in a country to marry 12year olds to 40yo men, we should consider it fine?…
The previous commenter said this: "But how many people who start with marijuana get addicted to other drugs?" and then "And we have no reason to believe it was different for him, and even if it was, it's his own health, he can only harm himself." You commented: "And another thing: it's pretty clear to me how naive you are. You've probably never come in contact with an addict. When a person's addicted, it's almost never about just their own health. Unless they have no family, no friends, no one at all in the world that cares about them."
That's the way reading several comments in a row works - you make inferences and interpretations based on your reading of them. Not sure why that's so strange to you. Also I said several times that I could understand the point you were trying to make overall even if I disagreed with you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to be so defensive and snarky about this.
