Raum Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 No. I'm starting to experience it to a degree and I strongly dislike it. I also dislike the way famous people are handled in society. Papparazzi, people jumping on any scandel they can etc. I've become a pretty decent skateboarder over the years, to the point where any skatepark I go to, I have people ask me if I'm sponsored, people who don't know me cheer me on, little kids admire me and try stuff I do or ask me to show them some of my tricks. That sort of thing. I've had complete strangers on the streets, not even at a skatepark, just stop and watch my skating for half an hour. While it feels really good and is incredibly flattering in a way, there is another side to it, and it's the side I dislike. I have people coming up to me and talking to me just because I'm a good skater. People that don't know me, don't care about me as a person etc. I have people giving me respect that 4 years ago would mock me. While it feels good knowing I proved something to them through my skating, it feels bad knowing how much they disregard the rest of my person. I don't like that part of it. I don't like people disregarding everything about me as a person except for my skateboarding. I feel dehumanized. It's like when you play in a band and a chick wants to bang you because you're in the band. It makes you feel like crap because you know they don't give two ****s about you and the person inside, and that's exactly how I feel with some of these people. A lot of them are cool about it, but I can see where it's going and part of it I don't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurë Veteran Posted April 22, 2006 Veteran Share Posted April 22, 2006 No chance. I hate crowds of people as it is. Can't imagine what it would be like if they were all trying to mob me. Also, it would limit my freedom which I could not tolerate. And my personality tends toward paranoia and depression; being famous would certainly not help.

jokeripa Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 If you had the chance to the famous... to the famous what? Just famous. Actor/musician/president/etc your not allowed to choose though. Or are you being stupid about my typo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallithrax Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Just famous. Actor/musician/president/etc your not allowed to choose though. Or are you being stupid about my typo? Instead of being defensive, why not just say that you made a mistake and say The question should be "If you had the chance to be famous would you take it?"

soothsayer Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I think I would enjoy being famous. Maybe not "Hot movie star" famous, but having a cult status would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jokeripa Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 Instead of being defensive, why not just say that you made a mistake and say The question should be "If you had the chance to be famous would you take it?" Because I only just realised then and didnt think. Instead of pointing that out, why not just answer the question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomis_nehc Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 yes for me. there are always ups and downs in all decision. in this case, on my personal level, i feel that the good would outweigh the bad. plus it'll make doing a lot of things easier. (and vice versa) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaffra Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 What isnt there to get? assuming you mean get the chance to be famous, how is it possible to control that. If your in entertainment it would depend on your luck/skil. same thing if you invented something, theres no guarantee you would be well known. If its if id like to be famous, i suppose it doesnt hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rohdekill Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I'm just curious why people post lame @ss questions like this. Every five minutes we get dumb questions popping up on this site which hold no value. It's almost as bad as the people asking "what should I get, this or that?" Get what YOU want for @#$% sake!!

jokeripa Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 It's almost as bad as the people asking "what should I get, this or that?" Get what YOU want for @#$% sake!!

thagame Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Yes, because I have someone giving me the opportunity to be known globally. so you have the chance to be famous and you wanna know what neowin thinks about it or your trying to brag for some reason and want the forum to know. If this board can decide if you become famous or not then i highly doubt its for real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shihchiun Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I wouldn't mind being famous, as long as it's the kind where people know my name but not what I look like. I'm just curious why people post lame @ss questions like this. Every five minutes we get dumb questions popping up on this site which hold no value. It's almost as bad as the people asking "what should I get, this or that?" Get what YOU want for @#$% sake!! I'm curious as to why people taking the time to respond to "lame ass questions" if they hold no value. Yes, there are some pretty stupid questions, but nobody's forcing you to read them or respond to them. That's just the way it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
