I totally agree. She's young and has a lot of growing up to do. It's hard enough finding yourself - but she is doing that with a team of handlers and fans who are hanging on every word. It's real (in that it's her real life), but it's not *real*.
On the other hand, at 23 I had graduated college and was working. I would never have done what she did. I'm not a prude - in fact, I'm a pretty liberal democrat. But I wanted to do something good in the world. And I valued kindness.
We all make mistakes. I made a whole bunch. But when I made them, I was self aware enough to know what they were. I get it that the culture supports her behavior (it sure does money wise!). But I hold her responsible because it's the only thing that will help her. (That and rehab, which I suspect is coming....)
I'd never heard about Water Bears before but they sound fascinating!
A quick look on Wikipedia tells me that they are also known as Moss Piglets, can survive without food or water for 10 years and live all over the world, from the poles to the equator.
These people aren't fools. They get begging letters all the time and recognize when someone is running game on them. The sheer number of letters you send out show it up as a scam and these pastors probably talk to each other. I wouldn't be surprised if they had some sort of blacklist of scammers with you on it.
