It's a bit hard not making children use famous people as role models with all the media today.

I think girls, from an early age, should be encourgaged to aim for wider career choices than just teachers and nurses - ie there should be more women engineers, scientists etc - but to just aspire to be complete waste of spaces like Paris Hilton is beyond comprehension. The value system of this country has so gone downhill in that respect. Mind you, despite the survey - I think most girls in higher education have more sense!

To be fair, it was first asked 40 years ago and the pattern wasn't the same, girls had less opportunity of getting high placed jobs than today. At the time, being a nurse or a teacher was the best job for a girl. But now they can have these jobs which can earn you a lot of money if you work well instead of showing your vagina every saturday night.

I just couldn't go out with a slut, I couldn't. :hugesmile:

I couldn't go out with a slut either - I like to know where my man has been and that he has some class - don't like cheap, easy men!

Didn't know about the charity bit - I think that is a good idea - but generally, think they are paid far too much money for what they do. Maybe if they want to be less influential in youngsters lives - they should be paid a lot less!

But football is a big sport that brings loads of money into the country the nations favourite sport by miles..

Clubs pay them the wage they get paid thats not up to us to say what they should be paid..

If a club wants to pay someone a ridiculous amount of money thats their business..
