Justin Bieber, Paparazzi, and Israel


I heard that teen singer Justin Bieber is upset because the paparazzi wouldn't leave him alone, even in Israel. He simply wished to walk in the footsteps of Jesus.

I wonder if the Muslims were upset too, because they though Bieber was a woman without a veil. . .

Upon my first learning who Justin Beiber was, my first reaction was to despise the parents were working to create what appeared to be a male version of Brittany Spears. My son, who resembles young Mr. Beiber, despised his choice of musical expression and the fact that people started commenting on the likeness. (A new hairstyle helped.)

When I saw his book, I though how pretentious and arrogant. What business does a 14 year old have writing a book with a title like " First Step 2 Forever"?

In short, my view of the young man was entirely negative.

Of late, however, I have seen him castigated in the press for sharing his views on abortion(he's against it) and now this-wanting to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. Perhaps he bears more scrutiny. I may have misjudged him-although his choice of musical expression is still appalling as well as the dancing. Perhaps, when he becomes, legally, an adult, he will be more able to make choices that would reflect better taste and judgement than has so far been the case.

It's enough to give him a wait and see.

why do you care?

I don't know the kid. I don't need to know the kid. I could care less if he writes a book; I won't be buying it.

Your comment re the veil does you no credit.

He is a product of our deteriorating society in one sense, while battling not to be in the other. Makes him an interesting target for humor. Beiber epitomizes society's attempt to be gender-neutral, and shows it to be the ridiculous scam that it is in the process. For that, the metro-sexual jokes cometh. Besides, it was funny enough that I laughed. If you don't appreciate it, don't read my site. You have the freedom to go elsewhere, change the channel, change the station, or what-not. I am told that all the time by the likes of you when sex is splattered all over the tube, yet you cringe at a little joke like mine about Beiber and Muslims? Oy.

No, it's the reference to his being a "woman" that isn't worthy of you.

You want to be taken seriously but can't resist acting like the 14 year old boy you sneer at.
