I'd rather have a lot of money than a family. Family just isn't that important to me. They're not who gets you through life, money is, lol. Maybe that's unfortunate, but that's the way life in the world of today is...unless you're an aborigine.

Family but it is nice to have money to take care of it.

Certainly family but money does make poverty a lot more comfortable

Um, as a former single Mom...if you don't have the money you can lose your family just like that...money makes life infinitely easier...it shouldn't mean everything but you can't live on love...sad to say

You are absolutely right - the only people who say money doesn't matter are those who have money.

Get the money first, THEN get moral. It's lots more enjoyable being noble when you're rich. Liberal Hollywood

I agree with both. It all sums up with what I'm about to say.

I'd have to say Family has always been first in my book, money is great to have especially to pay things, but money is replaceable and Family isn't.

I don't know...he looks pretty dang happy to me...a little too happy. Did you see his mugshot even? I think he's an arrogant little P***k. He gets no sympathy from me. Because of his money & notoriety anything and everything at his feet. Laws and rules don't apply to him. Thank god my teen hates him and his so-called music.


Edit: I forgot to answer the actual question :lol:
Now, let's hang on here a minute...are we talking immediate family? Distant? Can we pick and choose? Because I have a few family members I'll easily sell for a Klondike Bar!! :wink:

In the end, definitely family comes first :D

interestingly enough, that would be my same opinion, but cause he;s the " spittin image " of grandson, my heart goes out to him...it's purely EMOTIONAL.........otherwise trust me, i'd give him NO SLACK...

I did see the mugshot and was struck by his resemblance to that other messed up druggie, Myley Cyrus :roll: .........where are the parents???...
