I'm sure all the families in the UK who struggle to make ends meet would rather have a few adverts on TV than have to pay Jonathan Woss.

i think that all people should get a a few 100 thousand a year.

That's such an awful argument. So what if you think that? We all think that, it's just life isn't like that. This debate isn't about what we would like pay to be like in our 'ideal little world'. it's about is pay fair in our cruel/unfair world today?

If your going to say petty stuff like that for the rest of your life then you really need to wake up and get with it.

yay for devaluing the currency!!!

Alot of people who earn alot of money for doing very little have worked very hard to get the position where they make money off themselves as they kind of become there own brand. But people like Paris Hilton dont deserve fame and money as they dont work hard for the money they have and they dont help out and spend the money they do have wisely.

What do footballers do in society? Entertain us for an hour and a half? I don't think that deserves how god damn much they get. Its rediculous.

You may aswell pay for your house to be saved from a fire or pay for the drug smuggler to be arrested? Footballers should have to pay more tax and singers even though we are the country that pays the highest percentage of tax in the world. More money should go to people like the band that play the tune for a song and the tea boy.

Well we are not a commuinist state so no. I do believe footballers are over paid, however it's their job. Just like being a police officer, fire fighter, doctor or ambulance doctor is their job, no need to start linking heroic stuff into it. A jobs a job and what they get paid is what they get paid. We wouldn't want to go commuinist at all.

It's entirely fair as we live in a capitalist society and as football clubs, record labels, Hollywood and television studios are private companies they can pay what they like. Reprivatise healthcare and doctors might get more money sure, but you'll be paying more for it because you won't have the NHS.

This is life, things don't happen because they're the "nice" things, they happen because it's what works.
