Bieber gets schooled on his own Twitter account

[lokun489]

You know the only real reason beiber has money is because he gets free publicity from people who hate him. I don't fucking care about justin beiber so why do you!?

 

[Wilko316]

That Vincent Bennett guy's a hero.

Sure, prayers are worthless, but so is "having them in your thoughts".

Only difference is people who pray actually think they're helping.

 

[Sacul]

I don't get it.

What is this link supposed to show us?

that kid has like 25 million dollars, apparently. and there has been no news of him donating any of it to Japan relief, despite the fact that he clearly knows that they need all the help they can get over there.

and the cliche of him "praying" for them is not only BS, but its true that it wont help them in the slightest bit. a million bucks would help a hell of a lot more, and hes good for it

Yeah I agree, a million bucks probably would help more, must be why he donated it.

Even smosh, who make significantly less than bieber, sent $2500. That makes him look pretty bad, doesn't it?

It makes him look bad for having more money and donating a million dollars and even apparently matching other peoples donations?


Honestly why do people hate him to such an extent, it's annoying to see "Hurr the 38 dislikes are Justin Bieber fans durr" on Youtube comments, so what? He makes music you don't like, big deal.

I don't get it.

Perfect example of what I'm talking about here.

This guy has not bothered to do any research.

It would take literally three seconds to confirm Bieber's donations, but that is simply too much work for Vykrel. No, he'd rather rush into the thread to pass judgement on how someone else spends their money. It's ridiculous to assume that a rich celebrity with a history of charitable donations is somehow using prayer as a substitute for money. No, I take that back. It's not ridiculous.

It's stupid.

ya im going to go google searching for Bieber's donation history. youre right, i should invest more time into learning every detail of his life.

you should try hopping down off your high horse and stop being such a snobby ass

It takes maybe 15 seconds to google "Justin Bieber Japan Donations" and skim down the headlines of the websites. No one expects you to do that on a normal basis but if you are making a post insulting another human being saying they haven't done anything to help people you can do a quick google search.

 

[Vykrel]

Yeah I agree, a million bucks probably would help more, must be why he donated it.

the twitter post is over a week old, so unless he donated before making the post, its possible he just took the suggestion that many people likely gave him, which is to donate money instead of praying for them.

or maybe his manager told him that donating money would be good publicity for him

but if its neither of those, then it was a kind gesture i did not know about till now


P.S. dont be a smartass

"Send them your money." Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!

So? Yeah it's possible that he just did it for good publicity, it's possible he only did it after all of that, it's also entirely possible that he just did it because he wanted to help. That doesn't change the fact that he did help and he did donate 1 million dollars. I don't see your point.

P.S. I'd rather be a smartass than a dumbass.

 

[Vykrel]

P.S. I'd rather be a smartass than a dumbass.

google-searching does not make you smart... especially since when i searched for his donation, many of the links were of people asking "did he really do it?", which only adds to the fact that there has been no news of his donation anywhere the average person would see it. obviously, if its not talked about, i cant hear about it. make sense?

 

[LeonLethality]

How did he get "served"? The kid donated money already from what I am aware of and probably more than any of us could ever donate without compromising our own wallets.

I don't get why people blindly hate the guy. I respect the kid even if I dislike his music, the guy writes his own songs and plays drums like nobody's business so he gets points for that.

But...but...but you said I was a smartass earlier. Didn't you say just a bit ago that you weren't going to go google searching for Justin Bieber's donation history too? When was this google search? Because "Justin Bieber Japan Donations" had this as the first link: http://www.jbsource.org/help-japan-well-double-your-donation/

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

"Haha that's awesome." No, no it is far from awesome. It's some guy being a dick to a guy who actually has donated money to charity. I don't like Bieber, his songs are shit, but he seems like a canny guy. The sooner this whole 'bully Bieber' thing blows over the better, it's getting tiring.

 

[Droppa Deuce]

I don't get it.

Unless Bieber himself/someone with a significant following retweeted the guy, his comments woun't show up to the massess.

Bieber probably didn't even see the message personally as his PR team would handle his account (he would likely get thousands of tweets a day sent to him from fans and haters).

Anyone with a trwitter account can send a famous person a tweet and then screen grab it.

But this isn't schooling at all.

 

[icame]

So. Fucking. True.

Agreed. I feel sorry for him to be honest, he's just trying to do well in the music industry, and gets death threats from millions. I know I felt like shit when I was bullied by one or two people at his age, imagine what being bullied by millions feels like.

 

[Cheery Lunatic]

I'm a little touched by this thread.

Escapists are finally getting off the "ANYTHING JB DOES IS GAY!1!" train.

Though to be completely honest, I did snicker at the tweet, not because I agreed with it (heaven forbid) it just was...so...funnily worded. D:

I still can't believe he donated 1 million bucks. That's just insane.

 

[MikeOfThunder]

Sucks when people we hate for no real reason do things that are kinda decent, eh?

Yeah took me a while too.

I agree though, I mean I think he's somewhat of a 'douche' (never use the word but only way to describe my feelings) but if he's donating money then good on him! I've gained respect for him if he has!

 

[Havok-Man]

though I have no opinion on this topic or the topic of justin beiber

I have to ask this

How much is 1 million USD in Yen?

About 100 million yen. $10 = Y1000

 

[PorkChopXpress]

Personally, I could give a shit what Bieber does with his money...or his life really. Fact is, Japan needs everyone's help. I bet that "server" who tweeted to Bieber hasn't donated anything, and has no reason to talk down to him.

"Judge not, lest ye be judged".

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

Well thats unnecessary.

Its this kinda thing that makes people think the internet is full of assholes. I'm sure that if someone else like.. um... I dont know. Lets say... John Travolta (I dont know) says they want to send prayers. I wonder how many people would jump on him for that statement.

I felt the same after reading. I don't think he deserved that, for all the guy knows Bieber has already sent money.
