The society is going down the drain fast

[Pyrrho]

isn't the NY post a tabloid similar to the national enquirer? ...

NY Post is indeed near the bottom of the barrel, but it would be untypical for them straight out make up stories, unlike the NE

But that does not mean that they have not grossly misrepresented what happened. It may be that he refused to take the child to McDonalds, and that he has been called an unfit parent, but without those two things being related (i.e., he may have been accused of being an unfit parent for some other reason). There is really no telling without something more reliable than a rag like that.

Society going down the drain ... you'd think I'd have something to add to a thread like this.

Note: Some of these stories I wouldn't read because I just don't need to be brought down.

What's interesting is a lot of metrics are actually up for society.

Bieber is in national news. That alone says things are either really bad because nothing Bieber ever did or will do is news or really good because the news has nothing else to talk about.

If there was a true national crisis he'd not be in the news. Besides the 24 hours news cycle makes things seem worse when they really are better. I mean really are police have nothing better to do than go after Bieber. Seriously how is he a danger to society?

Isn't the fact, that such a person is well-known, a sign of a society so debased and degraded that there is no hope for the future?

i think it would be a public service for cops to visit him everyday to check if he's doing anything illegal so the world can be rid of him.

at the very least, he's a bad example for kids.

For me Justin Bieber is about the music.

 

[ImcLoud]

Exactly Alex. He has changed how I listen to music forever, I used to have a sat rad station I listened to in my favorites until one day they for some reason played a Berber song and I deleted the station...

Send him back to Canada

I don't think they want him back.
