Lets again point out that the kid donated 1 million dollars. How many bottles of water you think that bought for the stranded and homeless? How many toothbrushes, band aids, and other necessities did Justin buy for them? How many people will be kept safe and alive because of that money? Thats damn, damn, damn impressive and mature of him to donate to Japan, even if its "only" 1 million dollars.
Being human is having greed as well as altruism. There is no man devoid of greed, and money is the great corrupter. It may not be true of everyone, but its damn true of most.Klitch said:
You did tell him he should. Not directly, but you implied, and said he's a bad person because he's morally justifying not donating what YOU consider enough money. There are reports he donated a million dollars, how is that not enough for efforts from one person?
And again, tweets can equal money. Stephen Colbert (not that long ago) raised money for a charity (I think it was Haiti) through retweets. So lets say JB isnt doing that now, thats fine. But lets say he does. And he tweets He sends his prayers out to Japan, and for everyone who retweets it, the recording company Bieber works for will donate money. I guess his tweets are worthless then.
Its very simple really. You're getting in his face cause he sends out prayers. He decided to cope with it in his own way, and you and others have to tear him apart for it.
Oh, it's fine! It's not a huge deal. I apologise for being too harsh in talking to you.XxRyanxX said:
I just don't like to see people dehumanise him. They treat him as if he is some whipping boy that everyone can be disrespectful towards and remain "hip". It's as if there is some unwritten rhetoric saying:
"It is not okay to bully people and act like a bastard to people. Unless they are more wealthy than you, are more known than you and do something you don't enjoy".
And it is bullying. The amount of ill-will, violence, accusations and sheer insults that have been directed at him is huge. If this was happening to anyone else it would be a crime and everyone would be up in arms. But make this person unpopular and famous and all of a sudden it's fine.
Everyone (excluding a very small minority of people) deserves a basic amount of fundamental respect.
It doesn't sit well with me. Especially when it is over things like this. The kid makes a comment about Japan and uses religious implications and everyone is up in arms. "DONATE YOUR MONEY INSTEAD!". Well, he has donated his money and a few sites affiliated with him are doubling everyone's donations. I just find it childish and it's gone past the point of being funny.
One thing I don't think the Escapists understand is that saying your prayers are with someone is synonymous with saying your thoughts are with someone. It expresses sympathy, empathy and good will. There is nothing wrong with it.
I'm quoting you because I think we may be the only sane people on this thread.Sober Thal said:
Seriously, are we so desperate to hate Justin Bieber that we jump on everything little thing he says, searching for flaws to exploit?
This is pathetic, guys. Grow up.
Exactly, I don't really like Bieber either, but He without sin throw the first rock!HentMas said:
Self-righteous internet people..
Yes it is. He posted 'My prayers go out to you!' on his twitter, people read his twitter because *OHMYGOSH* he has fans in Japan.. And still: praying is thoughtful, whether it works or not, because you've got good intentions doing it.Balobo said:
Did you guys even read what he wrote? I can break it down to you.
1: I love Japan and it's culture.
2: My prayers go out to them
3: WE all need to help.
That is what he said, specifically, that HE was praying for them, which, frankly, is none of your God damn business, and that EVERYONE, which he is a part of, should -help-.
So if you're confused in that I think this is all about antitheism, then yeah, I am, because that is what it is. The kid is praying for them and directly -helping- them. He is also not telling anyone to pray for them, he's telling everyone to help them.

look justin bieber is just a fad that will be over by 2013 maximum. so no need to rip on him all the time we get to see him sink to mediocracy like Miley Cyrus, that kid of high school musical(see cant even remember his name) and the Jonas Bros.
Are people really applauding someone that responded to a plea to help those that are suffering from a natural disaster with a "Go spend your own money. I'm not giving them a dime"? Not a fan of Bieber in the slightest but he's head and shoulders above this Mr. Vincent.
He said no such thing. My prayers go out to him. < see that period? That signifies the end of a sentence. That is the end of a thought.mdazfrench said:
Two sentences, two thoughts. I am praying for them. We need to help them.
In your warped little brain, this somehow means: I am praying for them, but I wont help them.
Plus, the funny thing is that it's a confirmed fact that he a
rayed for them, and b: HELPED them.EDIT: uhh.. ok nevermind. You seem to be on sanity's side. My apologies.
