To think Justin Bieber is a dick? And anyone who disagrees on MN is obviously under the age of 13!

He's on TV now - He's a knob!

Yes, he's talented - he can sing and dance but he's still a knob!

Yeah Wine, what's wrong with a bit of good old fashioned schadenfreude anyway...? Xmas Grin

Sadly I doubt he did father the babby. He'd hardly have submitted to the dna test so easily. PAH, spoiling my fun.

Sparklingbaubles · 10/12/2011 20:40

Poor Selena Gomez. Sad

Morloth · 10/12/2011 20:54

He is just a kid isn't he? Lots of teenagers are knobs, they just don't know any better yet.

JustGiveMeTheWine · 10/12/2011 20:56

Hey scarletforya & sparklingbaubles I have already been called pathetic to want to claw my eyes out everytime I see him on TV.

I will not be dragged into any DNA/ did or didn't he stories, I will gladly let you both take the blame for that! Grin

(I think he did tho the dirty boy)

Aw. Xmas Sad

JustGiveMeTheWine · 10/12/2011 21:12

Morloth I read your post wrong

I thought you said lots of teenage boys are knobs, they just don't get any better!

I thought, True that!

he's only about 12. when he grows up, he may well be a different person.

I'm not saying that you are always (or just) a twat if you are young, cos you can of course be a right royal twat at any age Grin but when you are young you obviously lack maturity and life experience and are more prone to pontificating on subjects you know nothing about. I think it's part of growing up.

CarefullyAirbrushedPotato · 10/12/2011 21:23

yeah, why are you dissing him as he has is shown to be not bad?

obviously

JustGiveMeTheWine · 10/12/2011 21:27

Grin "dissing" Grin

YABU. He's not a knob, there are much worse people in the world. He's harmless, sets quite good examples to the kids that follow him, isn't pictured falling out of nightclubs high/pissed/groping someone, loves his mum.... And he is as entitled not to agree with abortion as anyone is entitled to agree with it.

Popbiscuit · 10/12/2011 21:52

I think his views on abortion might have something to do with the fact that his mum was a teen when she had him. Coincidentally, Selena Gomez's mother was also a teenage mother.

Feminine · 10/12/2011 21:53

I don't see anything that annoys me.

To my mind he is just a kid ...a kid that has done well:)

Sparklingbaubles · 10/12/2011 21:55

Peter Andre is on in 5 minutes. I may be dissing him. Wink

I met Justin Bieber last month and I think he has done amazingly well ...and he is a bit of a knob. But then again, it would take a very mature and a very grounded person to not become a knob in the sort of world that Bieber lives. He's mainly surrounded by older people/minders etc, he is a very lucrative artist for his label, so they want to keep him happy and he gets his way a lot of the times - much more so than any other 17 year old. Nice for him, but not that good in terms of character building. He is talented, he is lucky, but emotionally it can be tough to become famous when you are at that age. ..and just as a little side comment - I saw him with Selena Gomez and he was very lovely to her (she was cold, he gave her his jacket) and clearly adores her. I wish them both well - and I think it's a curse to become famous that young.

demetersdaughter · 11/12/2011 03:24

He's a very rich dick and good luck to the young lad.
Why would you label someone as a dick when you don't even know him Hmm

HughBastard · 11/12/2011 04:49

Oh yuk. A thread full of grown women on a parenting forum calling a young lad names for no reason I can see.

aldiwhore · 11/12/2011 05:05

He's a teen star, if he wasn't an utter arogant knobber, I'd be worried.

YANBU though!

Don't like him myself, detest him 'as a star' in fact, but he is just an arrogant teen knobber and that is his absolute right.

After the night I've had tonight with a friend's dd (who could/was/will be lovely) I think JB is very low in the arsehole stakes.

ScarletLadyOfTheNight01 · 12/12/2011 13:47

The reason I have no time for him is because he collaborated with Chris Brown...which in my opinion, is stupid when his demographic is young girls...not the best message to send to his fans is it?

Feminine · 13/12/2011 13:23

Nasty thread.

I can't believe an adult started it.

Why anyone over the age of 18 would care about him , is beyond me.

Plus, so many of us here are Mothers ...crazy Angry

juliazoe4 · 28/11/2012 11:34

Yes, he's talented - he can sing and dance but he's not a knob! Angry

HokeyCokeyPigInAPokey · 28/11/2012 11:37

My dd is 9 and it is very uncool to like JB at her school!

ClippedPhoenix · 28/11/2012 11:38

If he's a knob I wouldn't mind being one then with his bank balance behind him.

Wheresmycaffeinedrip · 28/11/2012 11:43

Yanbu!!!! :o

musicalendorphins · 28/11/2012 13:29

Well, he granted someone a childs Make a Wish Foundation wish recently, and flew them all there to meet him. He was really kind and made her dd a very happy girl. So he is in my good books. He has done this with lot's of seriously ill kids.

YouveCatToBeKittenMe · 28/11/2012 13:33

DD wanted to spend £250 on a meet and greet with JB

I refused to give her the money because he is a knob persuaded her that it wasn't as special as it sounded and was too expensive

both my DD's love him and they are both over 13
