Champ in my books.

Your thoughts?

Haven't really looked into the bloke, but credit to him.

Massive douche.

This.

Massive dickweed . And to think a lot of teenage boys love the guy .

Two heart attacks by 30. Bravo.

He gives no fucks.

Respect to people who give no fucks, even if rumours are he's a trust fund bitch are true.

I've never heard of him. Can someone tldr it so I can decide whether I should look into it or not?

Search on Facebook or instagram for lots of skin.

He's a guy who is really fucking rich and does what he wants (usually with lots of women with him). Likes poker also.

He's a trust fund baby who got famous for uploading photo's showing off his wealth and his antics with scantily clad women on social media. He's kind of like a filthy rich version of our own AfromanGT except instead of writing erotic fiction about his coke fueled debaucheries on an internet forum he uploads photo's to facebook and instagram instead.

Massive chump IMO, he's such a try hard.

I've nothing against what he does or the lifestyle he lives, he's basically fulfilling most males fantasies but the utterly cringe worthy manner in which he panders to this 'I don't give a fuck' playboy image he has created for himself is pathetic.

Edited by fredsta: 21/8/2014 08:00:29 PM

He is another one of those # what rich kids do wank fucks

Pass.

He uploaded this conversation with a publicist to social media, it sums up how much of a try hard c*nt he is.

Wow.

He sounds like a massive douche.

Clearly, anyone who does post images on social media cares deeply about what people think. He is clearly very insecure.

I think he deserves a lot of kudos for this.

:lol: kudos ?? He acts like he doesn't give a fuck yet posts online to get his praise . Yeah he doesn't give a fuck :lol:

Thats the life to live. Im working hard to make sure my future kids live that life.

No need to get jealous champ.:lol:

I sure as hell don't have his lifestyle, but Im not bitter that I don't have a lifestyle like he does....unlike some.

Edited by SocaWho: 21/8/2014 09:44:30 PM

Because you totally don't sound bitter at all. :lol:

I personally don't give a fuck about the bloke. It's like Charlie Sheen - he's nothing but an attention whore.

Me jealous ? I'm 30 with two kids and a house and a loving wife . He is 30 it's time for the idiot to grow up . Maybe learn what it is like to make money and not live off mommy and daddy's money

Standard gimp Heineken post, cheers.

I'd love to do some of the shit he does sure, but I think anyone past their teens who brags about their exploits on nights out to social media is sad tbh, he just takes try hard to a whole new level.

Male version of Kim Kardashain ffs, what kind of loser would idolise this bloke ffs

:lol: What's gotten you so tightly wound?

I wasn't intending to sound bitter because I'm not bitter about what he does, I just honestly think that if you look past the stuff he does and focus on what he says about it that the guy seems like a loser tbh.

Sounds like a pretty cool guy.

Shame he has no skills in the real world.

-PB

X 2 guy seems like the type who has too much time on his hands and kids see that and thunk that's how to act at 30

Edited by mvfcarsenal16.8: 21/8/2014 10:55:11 PM

Its interesting for discussion on many an angle.
No matter what someone does regardless of whether its a good deed or a bad deed...they will always attract criticism. For example in contrast to Blizarian, there's a barber in New York who does haircuts on homeless people for free as an act of charity (in his spare time). He posts pictures of himself on Instagram whilst cutting the hair of those people . Now the thing is, you get the various people who:
a) Commend him for doing such great work for charity and helping out homeless people. OR
b) Hate on him because he's just trying to portray himself as a good guy and looking for praise ,etc,etc.
Its human nature for you.

But that barber is actually doing a good deed . Dan is just using the net to get his Internet fame . Teen boys love the guy but in Reality his life is so far removed for reality that those same boys will find out life isn't that

He made part of his money from playing poker and from making guest appearances, and of course he has a rich dad (yes that helps). But Im sure he makes much money from advertising due to amount of following he has on Social Media.

The guy is famous for the sake of famous. He's the male equivalent of Paris Hilton.

Oh the difference a beard makes.

Why would he need them ? Hes already got 10's of millions in the bank. He can pay someone to do it

Plus he was a day from graduating to be a US Navy Seal before being kicked out.
I'd say that more than qualifies him to have skills in the real world.

Plus he lives in the "real" world, hes not a fictional character.

I'm not sure what every day activity learning how to rappel from a helicopter onto the deck of a moving ship prepares you for.

Furthermore, the guy's entire life is one big elaborate story, do you really think he was in the navy seals? They don't exactly give you a discharge a day before graduation into the elite branch of the US armed forces.

That photo's fake, research better chump

So's everything else about Dan Bilzerian.

So who made his wealth aka the trust fund?

Dad?

-PB

People on my facebook wall kept liking his stuff and commenting and it kept showing up. It was generally the same people who would go crazy for Zyzz.

Ended up blocking all of Dan Bilzerians posts. More of a chump in my eyes.

Bloke is a flog in my book. Rocks a good beard though.

These people have no idea what it is like to live in the real world.

Good luck to him.

A shame that so many young people see him as something to aspire to.

He appeals to the insecure social media anti-hipster hipsters who got their dick sucked once and then conveniently 'didn't give a fuck'

George Carlin summed it up, "It's called dick fear"

Edited by marconi101: 22/8/2014 12:42:55 PM

Probably, but so what? Lucky him

he might be living the dream, but it doesn't stop him being a trust fund wanker.

Just be interested to see how he was raised.

-PB

He does whatever the fuck he wants: champ.

So what he has a trust fund. So what he comes from money, I certainly wouldn't turn down the opportunities given. As long as he isn't affecting anyone else, who cares.

This, it's not like inheriting money makes him a bad person.

I am still firmly on the chump side though, if he really lived up his persona, he would be doing the same things as he does and not posting online constantly. I don't really care what he does, it's a free world, I just think he's a knob.

Edited by Jon90: 22/8/2014 03:08:35 PM

He is one funny bastard. Anyone seen the letter his solicitors sent back to the porn star that tried to sue him? Funny as hell

Won't lie, I have been very jealous of many, many of his photos.

His whole gun obsession I don't really relate to, but I just put that down to 'Murica.

But the women, the wealth, the toys, etc - I wouldn't give a fxxx how I obtained that money (unless it was stupidly illegal), I'd be a freaking happy man too.

I find it funny how some posters on here think its a big deal how he got his money. Its a bit like if someone who was born into the British Royal Family and jealous people expecting them to relinquish their lifestyle and live a normal life and work a 9-5 day job....pft!!...as if they would do the same themselves.

Like I said, I don't have the same lifestyle as he does and Im like the average joe, but I certainly wouldn't hate on him for the lifestyle he has.

Edited by SocaWho: 22/8/2014 04:50:39 PM

Why the hate for trust fund kids?

This is probably the first time Ive agreed with you on anything.:lol:

Is that the one where the porn star jumped off the roof and broke her leg and blamed him for pushing her. lol

Yep.

He didn't make the Navy Seals because he didn't graduate. I think someone would have called him out already for being a fraud and making up the story of going through the Navy Seal process...so far the story seems legit.
I've never been in the Army, but Im pretty sure Army skills equates to real world skills in the sense that you learn discipline, you learn how to work in a team, you obey orders, you know how to think on your feet in dangerous situations. I think it would be more life experience that working a 9-5 desk job. Being in the Army can probably enhance your job prospects too. I used to have a friend in high school who was a real smartass prick and when he left school he joined the army for 7 years. I didn't see him for 6 years until ANZAC day and caught up for beers with him, and he seemed more mature and had a better appreciation for life based on some bad shit he saw whilst he was peacekeeping somewhere. Im not saying I would join the Army, but Im convinced that it would give you life experience both good and bad.

Jealousy

So....you.

It's possible to spend money on exotic frivolities and not come across as a giant ass douche. He could at least be slightly philanthropic. Instead his greatest 'charity' is testifying on behalf of athletes accused of illegal gambling.

You can tell who is his target market is by amount of people who are bigging him in here . Look I don't care how he made he's money , more power to the bloke but like afro said he can go about it in different ways .

And there it is, I was waiting for someone to say that.

Its not rich peoples responsibility to feed hungry Africans.

And along the same tangent I also believe that rich people should be taxed less.

Having someone who pays $200k in tax a year using the very same congested streets with some dole bludger doesn't really seem fair.

Rich people already pay to use better Hospitals and schools. So really their tax is going to pay for some bogan to get drunk and high on a Monday while baby sitting baby number 5 and 7 from baby mumma number 4.

:lol: how old are you be? You have a weird way of looking into things .

When you're a little bit older you'll understand why people are taxed the way they are.

Seem the stuff his done he clearly wants attention from the social media outlets and wants to show off his wealth to show everyone he's got it all. Just ignore him IHMO.

Today you can get famous virtually by doing nothing unless you have wealth to show it off. The bad effects of social media in todays world.

It would be quicker if you tell me now :)

When you grow up or gain the most basic understanding of how macroeconomics or tax policy works, you'll understand that what you've just said is complete and utter shit.

Going by that response I think you're being a bit optimistic...

Pretty sure Roar #1 has been watching some ancap youtubers

http://www.ancap.com.au

:-k

anarcho-capitalism

Never heard of it.

Nah think he's just young lol.

-PB

In the past 24 hours Roar #1 has defended Taylor Swift and Dan Bilzerian, and he's dropped a Bieber gif....

:lol:

First and foremost, that attitude is the realm of the selfish asshole. If everyone took that approach nothing would get done. If you've come into copious money through whatever means, it's only right to pay it forward and help someone less fortunate than you lest the shoe be on the other foot and you find yourself in need of charity. Y'know, not everything in the bible is shite - the whole "do unto others" thing actually has some merit.

That aside, if you're in a position where you can make the world around you a better place and you instead frivolously spend money on your own indulgences then you're not cool, you're just a selfish asshole. Don't get me wrong, if anyone on here had access to that kind of money and said that they wouldn't afford themselves similar indulgences at least to some extent then they're a liar. But not once have you heard about Bilzerian being a nice bloke, being charitable or helping out someone in a way that didn't enhance his own personal perception of his 'bad ass' imagery (such as testifying that he was at an illegal poker game that Alex Rodriguez was accused of being involved in, and that A-Rod wasn't there).

Now let's look at the tax thing and why rich people pay more: Simply, this country needs taxes to run, to build and maintain infrastructure and to function on a basic level. A person who is rich takes advantage said infrastructure more than a person of lower economic status to maintain their fortune. Be it their subordinates using roads or public transport, they themselves using internet and telecommunications, the emergency services which they rely on to protect their property, or the indulgences they enjoy like corporate boxes at sporting events or the hospitals patch-working together the plastic face of their third wife (and let's not get started on their use of the legal system). This is the "trickle-up effect" - the opposite of the moronic fantasy "trickle down economics" that idiot Republicans believe in.

At the end of the day it all comes down to what that person with wealth chooses do with it. Philantropy or non philanthropy. I agree taxes are needed. But its not other peoples business to tell them what they should be doing with their money...if it was then I'd give them my account details. :lol:

True. It's his money to do with what he sees fit. You can't argue with that.

But at the end of the day you've got a guy who isn't famous for anything he's achieved (I don't know when dropping out of SEAL training the day before you graduate became something to boast about), isn't famous for generosity, philanthropy or venture capitalism (despite what his business cards and online boasts might tell you). He's famous for nothing more than wishing he was Hugh Heffner on social media. So what it comes down to is that he's famous for being famous, a frivolous narcissist - he's the male version of Kim Kardashian and society is worse off for giving these kind of people the time of day.

EDIT: Pro Tip: SEAL training is 30 months. If you're actively kicked out 908 days into a 910 day training course, you're not receiving an 'honourable discharge'.

Edited by afromanGT: 23/8/2014 01:28:12 PM

Sure they don't make good role models, but they've made an outlet for themselves to make themselves a quid without having to resort to crime. The thing with Kardashian / Blizarain is that they continue to plough through the hate by making more money for themselves.
Kardashian could have been just plain old Kim who goes to church every sunday and works as a checkout chick...but at the end of the day is she happy with her life?
So instead she whores herself on social media and makes a ton of money and lives a lifestyle that she's happy with. Im of the belief that for some people money makes people happy and for some it doesn't, but its better to be rich and unhappy than poor and unhappy.
I think its a tough world out there and if its her way of making a living then so be it. Not everyone one is blessed with the brain of a Warren Buffet / Donald Trump to do business the way they do and people need to do whatever it takes to make ends meet.

Edited by SocaWho: 23/8/2014 01:47:40 PM

Like I said, it's a self-centered attitude. The issue I have with them is that they make no contribution to society and are still idolised. Their self-indulgent narcissism is what society looks up to, and it manifests itself in their day-to-day lives creating a generation of morally repugnant drones attempting to apply their "king shit, got it all" attitudes to their lifestyles and living beyond their means. These people who got rich off their parents and have no idea the value of a dollar set the example and are what people aspire to, except 99.99% of society have to work hard to earn a basic living, let alone attaining greater prosperity.

So if we turn our attention to that for a moment, you wonder why there's financial collapses when you've got people buying $2k pairs of shoes that they didn't even know they needed until Kim Kardashian had them, on the credit card they can't afford to repay. In Bilzerian's case it's probably a jetski or something unfathomably more absurd.

What afro said . We as a society have become vapid . We idolize the morons who do absolutely nothing .

There is nothing to defend, they have done nothing wrong. :lol:

And you can't compare Dan and Kim Kardashian, they are nothing alike. People look at the kardashians the wrong way. They are not famous for being famous, they are famous because they have a very popular tv show, the same way the cast of Freinds or Big Bang theory are famous.

And I love how people call the kardashians fake, what you don't believe that they really drive around in Rolls Royce's, fly in private jets and party with other big celebs?

Please tell me Roar #1 is below voting age :lol:

Its the human race, not everyone thinks alike and the same way you do....I can assure you if you did the people like Blizarain and Kardashian would have crawled back under a rock a long time ago. It's a supply and demand concept. These personalities have an audience. Its like a TV channel , if you don't like the show then switch the channel People choose to embrace or not embrace their sense of lifestyle...its a sense of freedom that allows choice. Sure its not everyones cup of tea but having the choice to do so is liberating. I really don't want to drag religion into this but what about the Catholic faith? They try to preach moral values yet some of those in the hierarchy contradict their own code with what goes on in the child abuse cases....yet they paint a 'holier than thou' of themselves when really actions speak louder than words. Sure a set moral standard is required in society but in my view , as long as they don't break the law and they can make a living out of what they are doing then its ok. They've managed to create a brand for themselves that is embraced by an audience and that gives them potential for a revenue stream.
As for the drones you speak about, its whether they are smart enough to separate fantasy from reality...a bit like someone who watches a movie who either aspires to be someone in that movie or just watches it to relax and wind down after a week of work.
At the end of the day people have their own role models....and its not up to you or me or anyone to make that decision for them who it is regardless of whether they are good or bad. People make their own choices, you can't dictate to people what you think is acceptable and what isn't. You certainly wouldn't like it if I said that everything you said doesn't fit my criteria for what I think is morally acceptable for society. I certainly am not questioning you per se, but Im happy that people are making money, finding a niche to make money (even if its non productive), having freedom to express themselves and having the courage to put themselves in the firing line of would be do gooders. And by do gooders, Im referring to is the Church , Cult or any religious formation that might have their own dirty laundry whilst talking the talk and not walking the walk.

Edited by SocaWho: 23/8/2014 03:08:54 PM

So they're famous because they have a successful tv show. Ok then, ask yourself; why do they have that tv show in the first place? It's certainly not off their own success as you stated that their success came FROM the tv show. Because she's the daughter of OJ Simpson's lawyer and the woman who married Bruce Jenner? Talk about clinging to your parents success.

So she's achieved nothing at this point except being in a sex tape with a b-grade R&B artists and she's given a tv show. From this we can deduce that she is famous for being famous. She's nothing more than the social equivalent of a Remora. No different to the way Dan Bilzerian is surviving off his father's riches and tall stories, being famous for being famous.

The cast of tv shows like Friends or Big Bang Theory at least have to have some rudiments of talent as actors and have worked hard to get to where they are.

Even before they became famous, Kim was very well known in the Hollywood party scene. She was best friends with Paris Hilton at her peak. She was already mixing with celebs .

I'm not sure of the timing of things but I think the tv show probably would have happened anyway regardless of the sex tape. Kim's mother is a marketing genius and a very smart business women, I'm sure she was looking into a tv show anyway to capitalize on Kims growing popularity in Hollywood.

I agree. I think a lot of people don't realise that people like 'Kardashian ' are not doing what they are doing purely for attention seeking reasons....its primarily so they can put food on the table for themselves and live the lifestyle they want to live.
There's a difference between "liking" someone for what they do and "respecting" someone for what they do.
I personally don't like her but she couldn't give a toss about people like you and me, but I give her credit and respect her for being able to create a brand for herself and tapping into a market in which she's able to capitalise on.

Edited by SocaWho: 23/8/2014 03:14:21 PM

Yep. She didn't become as rich and famous as she is by fluke or luck, a lot of people have tried before and after her without the success she has had. Their mother I believe has a lot to do with it, as I said before, but that's not the only reason. I rank Kris Jenner and Scooter Braun ( Justin Bieber's manager) as 2 of the best marketing brains out there. They are leaders in their field.

If the sex tape was what made her so famous, why is it that I can't name one porn star ? And why aren't porn stars house hold names?

The bloke cares way to much about what people think about him to claim that he doesn't give a fuck.

The only reason Kim Kardashian still has any relevance is because she married Kanye. She wouldn't even be the most famous of the sisters today if she hadn't. Look at Paris Hilton, she had a sext tape and a successful tv show but the majority of teenagers today would have no fucking idea who she is. Talentless fame doesn't last, and Blizerian will end up in this group

But how long can you expect something like this to last? The kardashians are up to season 9 of their tv show. That's a lot longer then a lot of other tv shows.

And Kim is still very much the leader of the family, but Kendall and Kylie are starting to attract a lot of attention for themselves and will inevitably take the reins of the family empire.

I think we will be hearing the Kardashian name for many years to come with Kylie taking most of the attention I believe, she is the wilder one, she just celebrated her 17th birthday with Tyga, Chris Brown, Justin Bieber, The Game, Jaden Smith so with a girl hanging around with guys like that, there is bound to be a scandal in the horizon :d

Its the reality and the signs of the times. Its 'new generation' thinking. I might not agree with it since, Im part of the older generation (i.e. in my 30s) but the results are telling. These people know how to tap into an audience and capitalise on it. If theres demand and the supply can cater for it then it can work. But that doesn't mean I don't have respect for the older crew. Warren Buffett is one of my greatest role models through his philanthropy work, but that doesn't mean I hate on him because he's filthy rich and just because he doesn't want to send some of his money my way. As for KK and Blizarian , at least they are out there having a crack and giving things a go. I have more respect for them than the dole bludger who refuses to get a job and surfs all day or the guy that has to rob a bank to steal.

Intelligent well educated young people have little interest in aspiring to be a talentless pseudo celebrity like Kim Kardashian. These people more often than not end up in tertiary education and become a successful key member of society.

The reason why this shallow rubbish is a problem, is because the vast majority of society is made up of vacuous working class airheads, whose ultimate job in society is to work menial working class roles and watch TV shows like "The Voice"

In the past, these youngsters looked up to their parents, teachers, sporting coaches, grandparents etc, where an "honest hard-working living" was instilled into them from a young age.

Now they look up to people who perpetuate a shallow existence, and are thus being exposed to bad role models. This is not solely the fault of Kim Kardashian or Dan Blizerian in a similar way that McDonald's is not solely responsible for the obesity epidemic. It is what it is and its a problem for society though.

The art of parenting seems to have gone out the window which leads kids to look for other role models. The Improvement in technology and social media also has a role to play. Im sure a large percentage of parents have no idea of the things their kids are doing, and the parents who think their 14 yr old little girl is an angel are the ones who are the furthest from the truth :lol:

sadly it seems in todays world its acceptable for a 14 years olds birthday party to include a couple of cartons of cruisers and bottles of vodka. And you cant tell me the parents dont know.

The art of parenting has gone out of the window partly and mainly because divorce is so common so kids look for other role models to look up to. For example look at Eminem. I beg to differ that a lot of younger people use him as a role model not because he raps about bad stuff but because he relates to them on their level that they might have gone through a bad childhood, lived as a houso, always changing schools, having a single parent raised them, etc. He might not be the best role model, but to a lot of youth today I believe he's a working class hero to them. And look at him now, he just witnessed his daughter graduate high school with high grades and he provided the best environment for her to flourish.
KK might be famous for doing nothing, but she went from being nobody to somebody.
For example someone wanted her name put on the title of some app that they made...and look what happens...that app is in the top 10 charts. That is the power of branding.
I think its a shallow and cutthroat world nowadays. Its sad I know. But the reality is, theres a demographic of people who view success as being rich, making lots of money, making themselves look buff or hot,etc....not necessarily as being a good role model, model citizen, work a normal job and do good deeds.
Its a society thing. Not one that I agree with, but its the reality and for some people its about survival and they don't have time to be all high and mighty about living a lifestyle that doesn't represent the view of the average common people.
