Because they are souless bastards who have traded in their souls and conciense for success that really doesn't amount to anything because in their pursuit of gain they lose humanity and any feeling to their relative species or the ecosystem they inhabit.

No, the big deal is that some kid with a shit load of money and a BS reputation for being "not-a-douche" thinks of sending a prayer(an act of folding ones hand and asking GOD really nicely to help them that usually doesn't work unless you do it frequently and with meaning) over money(something that could do some REAL good over a deity who works in small and mysterious ways never directly showing himself).Sober Thal said:
Not really, I'm not sending Japan money, why should I expect someone else to? The world's not the altruist place people like to think it should be. And I would like to question how true your statement is that if you suddenly had the money you would give it away once you saw how nice it was to have it. Its easy to say that now, but when you have it, it gets a lot harder.Klitch said:
Money is money, what people choose to do with it is their business. How about instead of money, you volunteer and go over there, cut out of the middle man, and do the work yourself? I may not care about the Bieber kid, but he's doing far more then he ever could donating money. He's raising more awareness, getting the sympathy of his followers, who will most likely send money or agree. Hell, he could have a deal that the more times it gets retweeted someone will donate money.
Perhaps YOU and other people should be ashamed for telling another how to live their life, and saying that if they dont they're "bad people".
Ever read that old tale in the bible about the pauper and the noble? The noble gave a HUGE amount of money to the church, but it was smallHentMas said:
compared to the rest of his wealth. A poor woman witha Hilda came along and donated a coin, one of which she had little of. She gave more to the church than the noble could. So what's 1mil to the fortune Justin gets as eye candy for teens?
Golly, I thought this was just a funny quip to poke at the fallacy of the famous. Little did I know it was secretly a moral debate in disguise...
I'm with Sober Thal here - I don't really see how this is a schooling. Lots of people say there prayers are with (insert place and/or person here). Obama did it a few days ago.
But because this is Bieber he is "schooled". He most likely is donating a lot of his money to Japan.
"DONATE YOUR MONEY! PRAYER DOES NOTHING!" Is nothing short of obnoxious. If someone said "my thoughts are with the people who are suffering in Japan" nobody would comment, would they? There was a lot of people saying that in the Escapist thread about the Japanese disaster and no one commented with "DONATE MONEY THOUGHTS ARE USELESS!". It is anti-theism.
And what's worse is I bet most the people who go around posting that haven't donated anything.
According to numerous sources - Bieber has donated over a million dollars. It's kind of pathetic, that during a disaster, people are more preoccupied with a child being "schooled!" on a twitter account because of something he said that some person didn't agree with than they are with the actual disaster itself. I don't like Bieber's music - in fact, I would go as far to say I hate Bieber's music. But the kid obviously does care about the tragedy and he is actually dong something about it. I dunno, it just seems like bullying to me.
But wait - it's okay to bully people as long as they make more money than you and are famous for doing something you don't like. Isn't it?
Grow up. This is one aspect of internet culture I can't stand.

From whom, exactly? The fashion police?Hectix777 said:
Edit: If Bill Gates was, indeed, pursued by the fashion police, I don't think many of us could say it was "unreasonable".
Chances are Justin Bieber will never even read that, and if he does, it wouldn't phase him. He has millions of dollars and millions of fangirls, what does he care what one guy on twitter thinks?
Plus, people who hate Justin Bieber are far more annoying then Justin Bieber fans. I mean my god, every single music video on youtube is filled with comments saying "X amount of dislikes are Justin Bieber fans!" Nobody is forcing anyone to listen to him and nothing you say is going to piss him off, so just get over it. PLEASE.

And besides, do you really have any idea if he cares or not? No, you don't. You are basing this off nothing more than a whim. There is no need to just assume he doesn't care - it's a tad disrespectful.
Ok well you've certainly made a lot of assumptions about me for whatever reason. First, I have already donated to the Red Cross (perhaps not as much as I could, and that's why I feel guilty myself). Second, I volunteer several days a week at an organization named Project CURE (they collect donated medical supplies and ship them to over 125 countries around the world). Third, there is no way to prove it to you, but I assure you that if I had millions of dollars at my disposal, more disposable wealth than I could ever imagine actually spending (not to mention the truckloads of cash that would come in on a regular basis from my "music"), I would immediately donate all the money that I didn't need. That's not called being altruistic, that's called being a human being. When you're at the point of financial security where you're debating buying a third or fourth house or saving lives, you'd better make the right freaking choice.emeraldrafael said:
Finally, I never called Bieber a bad person or told him how to spend his money or live his life. All that I said is that I can't imagine how some people can morally justify living in such levels of opulence and stated that if I (or I suspect many like me) found myself in their position, the decision on whether to send money or prayers would be insanely easy. Bieber is doing good in raising awareness for the crisis in Japan, but you're dreaming if you think the people there appreciate his tweets more than his money. If you expect me to feel guilty for valuing human lives more than money, well I'm afraid that you're going to be sorely disappointed.
It looks like the hate-me-nots are growing so thick and fast they're choking out the garden. Nothing like parrying a jibe that, if unwelcome, is zero effort to ignore, and turning it into everything from "anti-theist" (!?) to openly suggesting that if you mention something not in keeping with the generally accepted type of talk about a touchy issue you are therefore against said issue. I was awesomely unaware that posting a silly text joke made me A) a hater of the lowest troll order and B) belittling and/or ignoring the reality of a natural disaster. It's like saying one line and having someone else build a play around it, then blaming you for the content and bad reviews. It's starting to feel like I'm in a 1978 Lincoln and some dickhead tied off my steering wheel and broke the cruise control button. Sheesh.
first of all, yes, the poor woman donated more in proportion to her wealth, but tell me, how much is enough??? the simple fact that both donated "something" is enough, how much did the other guy donated?? and if he donated, why should we care!?, even more, why should anyone care what other people make of their money? including Bieber, trash him all you want about him being a farce and a facade, and a horrible singer, or that he looks like a woman, but no one haves a moral high ground regardin "donating money"Hectix777 said:
and what makes people be mad at him?? for making more money they could ever make?? and not donate every cent to watever first "just cause" comes along???
as i see it, that is just being jealous of his wealth, there are many more things one can say to him besides "give all your money away!!" this is just an angry response out of jealousy
i hate it when trolls make me side with an idiot... as i stated before i dont like his music, etc etc etc, but he is a great guy to have donated "something" to japan, as everyone who has donated is, this post is irrelevant, "lol he just got slapped by a random guy in the internet"... i would say no, he was not slapped by him, he still holds a moral advantage.
Heh, no.
Like others have said before me, he supposedly donated 1 million dollars to the place.
Im not sure exactly how this guy owned Mr. Beiber, just seems like another troll if you ask me.
The sense of superiority of making fun of a 16 year old celebrity has gone stale in my mouth for quite a while now, and im tired of all the "Justin Beiber is gay, it says so on youtube" comments out there.
Just move on because we'll all forget about him in three years anyway.
