    Television execs know where the profits come from. In this case, fans of Justin Bieber.

    You must be in LOVE with Justin's Beaver to think so, but reality is that before media's obsession with these political, musical and anti establishment trolls, they are NOTHING to ANYONE. And I have seen cute crack whores in North Philadelphia all over the place, younger ones hang out with the drug dealers, older/used ones hang out on street corners by themselves. Justin's beaver is just your average dope publicized by the establishment with intent to give HOPE to the poor.

    I am interested in this guy in much the same way I am compelled to see how bad a car accident is on the freeway.

    This is the result of American society who has our priorities ass backwards. Society as a whole cares more about celebrities and pop culture than we do current events and world politics.

    Go outside and ask a random person under the age of 30 where Kiev even is, or hell WHAT Kiev even is, let alone whats going on over there. But go outside and ask a random person who Justin Beiber is or Eminem or 50 Cent or Lady Gaga and they'll likely be able to tell you what they ate for breakfast this morning since they follow them all on twitter.

    I was literally laughing out loud and shaking my head when watching the news the other day and the broadcaster was interrupted for "Breaking News!", Justin Beiber has been arrested. That kid getting a DUI isn't more important than ANYTHING, let alone does it warrant interrupting a broadcast to tell everybody about it. But according to American society thats what we care about, so thats why its front page news everywhere.

    That's what i'm saying too... if we give such messages then why complain if boys try to imitate their heroes? First of all, why do films often portrait losers as heroes? Think about vin diesel in toretto... i mean, he is basically a muscled idiot who loves to race with a horribly moronish noisy car, drink and (*)(*)(*)(*) girls... is that a hero?

    I think everyone from the average citizen up to Obama himself should be equally accountable for their own actions. He shouldn't get off the hook for being a celebrity, but I don't think any other DUI should either.

    Well, the reality is that Kiev is not now, and never has been important to Americans, most of them don't even know what Kiev Chicken is.

    The other reality is that the liberals have so dumbed down the idiots in the United States that many of them can't point to the three oceans bordering their country. Most of them reading this post had to scratch their heads before realizing that Alaska borders the Artic Ocean as well as the Pacific.

    The stupidity of the voters that can put a thing like Obama into office is legendary, and it's surprising the rest of the world isn't scared (*)(*)(*)(*)less knowing there were enough stupid people in this country to put a thing like Obama in charge of the nuclear arsenal. And you people want to wonder why those people feel Justin Beaver is important to them?

    They're STUPID, is why.

    They weren't born that way, they were MADE that way.

    Yes indeed.

    Ill never forget the day back in high school when a girl argued with the teacher for about 5 minutes because she was convinced in her mind that Canada was a US state. Her logic was "Um, they have a basketball team there, you don't have basketball teams in places that aren't in America".

    A few months ago I was at the gas station buying beer and the little automatic change dispenser machine thing on the cash register broke so the girl asked me what my change was supposed to be because apparantely she couldn't do 2nd grade level subtraction.

    That's when I realized that one day this generation is going to have to run the country....so yeah...we're (*)(*)(*)(*)ed.

    Hey, according to the people that can vote for Obama, that stupid girl that can't give the correct change should be getting paid $15.00 an hour.

    So there won't be any "it's gonna happen anyway, so lay back and enjoy it" moments, it's the coming disaster the Founding Fathers knew to be inevitable. Ignorant people do not remain free.

    The Mayor would say that Just In Beaver was simply yet another squirrel to amuse the plebes, but squirrels are amusing, aren't they?

    Justin Bieber fans are responsible for approximately 10% of his fame. It's the haters who write his cheques.

    I know that everybody has negative things to say about the next generation. Parents always say "I don't know whats wrong with you kids today, back in my day". But I honestly believe something is seriously wrong with this generation. The values and whatnot of yesterday are gone now. This is a generation where we give all kids a trophy for simply showing up at the baseball game. It has becme socially acceptable to be a single parent. Now punishing your kid means sending them outside to play because if you send them to their room its a paradise of cable tv, internet, and video games. We teach kids that it's perfectly fine to call adults by their first name, forget saying Mr. or Mrs.

    We've pretty much taught kids that it's perfectly ok to fail. Go ahead and just show up, you'll get a trophy anyway. Don't want to get a decent job? Don't worry about it the government will give you free money and make sure you live a comfortable life.

    Reaching for the stars has died as the American dream. Now it's turned in to just do whatever you want, don't stress, don't fight, don't work too hard, don't do anything that you don't want. Just live life and do whatever you want and be happy. We will pay you if you don't want to work hard and be anything in life. Everybody deserves a nice standard of living here, this is the United States, this is the new "American Dream". To hell with working hard to earn your "house and white picket fence", just show up and pretend to even remotely try and we will give it to you anyway.

    Technology is moving at a lighting fast pace right now. In a decade much of this generation is going to be seriously screwed when they realize that technology has replaced unskilled labor in many fields. And that is what scares me.

    If someone in front of me suddedly stopped what i was doing or watching, yelling out " breaking news, Justin Biever arrested!!! ", i might seriously consider to break his head with the fist thing coming in my hands and restore what i was doing before. Seriously, you can't stop news because a famous kid played the punk, while others are sent to death and nobody cares. That's barbaric at the best.

    OH, when the Mayor is talking about the people stupid enough to vote for Obama, he's really focused on the idiots that are certainly more than old enough to know better, the dumb (*)(*)(*)(*)s that voted for That Idiot Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, Clinton the Rapist, Captain Ozone, Papercut Purple Heart Pansy Kerry, and not just those stupid enough and young enough to vote for King Obama, Racist, Facist, and Muslim Traitor.

    The Young Idiots for Obama have an excuse...the young are usually stupid, especially those victimzed by the nation's unconstitutional public education system.

    The old farts stupid enough to vote for Obama not only don't have any excuses left, they're guilty.

    THIS parent doesn't say that.

    THIS parent tells them EXACTLY what they're doing wrong.

    It's not complicated.

    See? YOU understand.

    Just recognize that the national government itself, and the lower tiers of government as well, are at war with basic American standards of virtue.

    There's a reason kids in California read Animal Farm in the fourth grade. It's so they won't read it when they're older, and able to understand it, because it's now "a kid's book".

    There's a reason the state educational and social busy-body institutions are empowered to interfere in parent-child relationships. They need to weaken those bonds and at the earliest age possible get the child to swing his allegiance to the State. There's a reason they don't teach "1984" in high schools any more, the child is becoming old enough to understand.

    Remember the awful Disney movie "Anastasia", in which a strange and unidentified "trouble" swept over Russia to end the reign of the Tsars? If wouldn't have been at all difficult for an honest screen writer to identify communism as communism, but that would have offended the propaganda masters in both Hollywood and Buena Park.

    It's always been necessary to teach children that failure is acceptable, for failure never fails to happen sometime.

    It's always been necessary to teach children that it's essential to get up from failure and start again.

    It's the disease of the era that children are taught that getting knocked down in failure means that Uncle Sugar will pick you up and take care of you, no need to help yourself out of that hole on your own any more.

    Socialism requires serfs, freedom requires ambition.

    Oh, it's going to be fun going to Taco Bell (after the franchise wars, all the restaurants will be Taco Bell) and tell the robot what is desired, and know that finally food will be served that's never been touched by human hands that weren't washed after the slug went to the restroom.

    That's no lie! And a rather eloquent way to state it, as well. Hats off too to most of the rest of your rant. I've kind of given up after getting a case of the (*)(*)(*)(*)s from dealing with the political insanity that aboundth in modern America. I needed some relief from the insanity. And this bud may be up to the task.

    I don't see anything wrong in the concept itself, maybe you are biasing the consequences of a system like this. Do you prefer poor people becoming criminals, thugs and desperates? If my state can grant me a bare decent living witohut becoming a threat and without weighing too much on people's purse, then i don't see how this could be a bad thing.

    Let's keep in mind that 8% of the world population owns 80% if the world's total wealth. If i were a multibillionaire i wouldn't mind if a part of my money went to help poor people, i don't need all that wealth for myself. But i'm also aware that not everyone shares this kind of mindset. Do you think it's wrong or is it right?

    I wouldn't recognize Justin beaver if I came face to face with him on the street, but I don't think anybody's giving hope to anybody else by publicizing him. Maybe they're just trying to distract people. That's a common tactic.

    THERE you go, expressing the self-conscious elitism of the parasitic leftie Obama supporter. "Gee, if we didn't steal from the useful people, all those useless people, well, you know how THOSE people are, criminals at heart....if we special people didn't help them, why, they'd rape all the white women and loot all the jewelry stores."

    We're so proud of you, expressing the essential Obama supporter view point so succinctly.

    The fact of the matter is that if YOU people didn't fill the heads of the useless with the strange idea that someone else owes them a living, they'd do what poor people throughout the ages have done, work hard, protect their families, and try to make their children better off than they were.

    The very basic idea of liberal fascism that you just expressed is the very reason the nation's in the toilet today.

    It's WRONG to pay the Dane his geld. It's better to geld the Dane.

    But, you're not a millionaire, let along a billionaire, and you're clearly hoarding all your wealth now. Let's not pretend that your blowing smoke out your ass like that is anything resembling a factual discussion.

    Why are there so many poor people? Easy.

    There's so many socialists wasting all the wealth.

    Justin Bereaver is really short, looks like a lesbian, and has a golden aura (okay maybe that is just the sun reflecting off his gold chains and he looks like a pipsqueek rapper poser). I would think you would recognize his greatness even if you did not recognize him my name

    If i sold out my wealth to help the poor i would become poor myself. I mean, why should i deprive myslf of the little i have when there are people like bill gates or saudi arabian sultans who are so full of money and wealth they could feed a poor nation for decades, and saving enough money to guarantee extra lux life style to themselves and their families and their friends... why are you so unempathic to poor people? You talk as if every poor in the world chose to be so.

    That's strange.

    For some reason you believe that you have to give up ALL your wealth to be a good socialist, when the Mayor said you only have to give up enough to become equal to the poor poeple you despise so.

    The Mayor supposes you have to answer the fact of your hypocrisy with absurdity because you feel guilty for having wealth, and when it's pointed out that you're attempting to assuage your guilt by robbing someone else, you just get discombobulated and can't answer coherently.

    Okay, so explain why you want to impoverish others when you just declared that you refuse to impoverish yourself, and do tell, why is that not "greed"?

    The Mayor doesn't give a (*)(*)(*)(*) about poor people because he grew up as one and knows for a fact that stupid socialist ideas about playing Robbin' Hood cannot work. People stop being poor...by working in a capitalist system, improving their skills, and saving their money.

    You can't make poor people not-poor by robbing others and throwing the stolen money at the poor people. If a person is inherently useless, he'll take the stolen money and waste it. Which is what is observed to occur. You fascists have wasted some 20,000 billion dollars on "anti-poverty" programs since LBJ imposed his unconstitutional "Greediest Society" scams on the country, and there are proportionately MORE useless people now than there were then.

    In other words, YOUR methods DO NOT work.

    It's as simple as that.

    YOU failed.

    Admit the truth and let's move on to what does work.

    Sorry, you're wrong

    The Poverty rate in 1959 was 22.4, by 1973 at the height of the New Society programs it had fallen to 11.1. When the Republican Reagan was elected in 1980 however it rose to 13.0 and continued rising until 1983. It didn't reach 13 again until 1988 when Clinton's first year saw a high of 15.1. There was then a steady decline to 11.3 in 2000. Unfortunately a Republican was elected in 2000 and the poverty rate has rose every year since except for 2011 and 2012 when Democratic policies finally took hold despite the most obstructionist Republican Congress in history. Source is

    https://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/RL33069.pdf

    (page 44 appendix).

    The two most important things to note are 1. The Great Society worked, and worked very well, reducing overall poverty by 11% in just a little over a decade 2. The rise and fall of poverty can be almost exactly linked to the Party of the President. Under Republicans it rose, Under Democrats it fell.

    The Mayor should read the numbers, accept that he was wrong, and let's move on.

    Unless The Mayor wants to start another thread on poverty.

    As for Justin Bieber he's worth 160 million dollars according to Celebrity Net Worth. How much did you make by the time you were 19? Beiber is part of a phenomena that could make anyone who can work it extremely rich extremely fast. We should all care about that.
