Deport Justin Bieber?

I'm going to do a little brag here:

I have never heard a Justin Bieber song, and have no idea what he sounds like.

Makes two of us. Don't live under a rock so it's impossible to say I've never heard OF the little darling but I refuse to validate such a blatant example of child exploitation by listening to any of the product thereof.

I don't know why everybody is so angry with him, and hates him so much.

We were all out of control and had a sense of entitlement when we were younger, it's just that his are publicized. Hate me too then - I threw eggs at a house when I was 19. I drank and urinated in public as well. I raced cars like him.

I don't know if people are jealous of him or what, but I wish him well and hope that he comes back down to earth, and away from the path of addiction sooner rather than later.

My thoughts exactly. His actions have no effect on my life whatsoever. I don't care what he does, it's his life.

And you all seriously think a teenager with millions of dollars is going to sit quietly in his house? You only have 1 life, and if you are lucky enough to have a luxurious life like he does, LIVE IT UP.

People are just jealous. Or they are those people who would rather whine about something they hate than praise something they love.

I did crazy things as well, but it took only once getting caught and having the police call my parents. The problem is, he is becoming a repeat offender and he doesn't care if he gets arrested because California goes really easy on celebrities. Where I grew up, he would have gotten a break on the first offense but the underage drinking and racing while under the influence, lets just say he wouldn't be driving for at least a year if not more.

And here you are, thinking you're above the ones who think they're above it. Funny how that works, ain't it?

And by talent I take it you mean "huge corporate machine pushing his pre-packaged product on a demographic that will eat up pretty much anything they are served".
It's ok, we all make typo's from time to time.

I actually went and saw his documentary film. My wife wanted to watch it, blame her. I'll tell you what, man...the kid is actually very musically talented. From being a toddler onward. "Prepackaged whatever else" aside. I walked out of there begrudgingly impressed with his talent and drive, though not a fan of his music.

But this dude's been in the news for being a real punk*** little douchebag in recent years. I'm beyond tired of hearing about him. But I'm not quite seeing how he's done anything worthy of deportation, nor what good that's going to do anyone

Yep. Instead of the "let's deport 'im!" publicity stunt, perhaps we should just start enforcing the law when he breaks it.

Some guys and I were talking about stuff like this (His stuff prompted the talk, but celebrities in general became the topic). Wouldn't it make more logical sense that the judges should be harsher on celebs for this kind of stuff for a few reasons?
(1) Holy crap if ANYBODY can afford a darn taxi when they get loaded it's them
(2) You know the fines will get paid = revenue
(3) Lots of them will and do repeat offend, stiffer penalties may help prevent this before someone gets hurt.
(4) Aforementioned "role model" status they have (whether we like it or not they have it)
