Naggy,
On the flip side, your daughters probably want to drink when you listen to your music/tech podcast/talk radio.

How bally dare you! The Home Service is good and wholesome. Though they do listen to Magic a lot, which I find bearable.

Don't worry, Nagy. They're probably drinking no matter what you do.

I feel for you! ...my brother has three beautiful little girls (ages range from <1 to 5)... I don't know how he keeps his sanity listening to this music and watching princess cartoons all day.

In fairness, I'd just like to point out that Leia is now a Disney princess.

Because People hate 
might it be cause of jealousy or whatever...
*I don't like him
*I don't listen to his Music
*I accept that i might be awkward so he can accept that i think he's a Girl
*Well... you got that one
*Yes indeed!
But i still don't like him. And the freedom of opinion allows me to say that i hate him everywhere i want to, other People are also allowed to hate me so accept the defeat of the power of freedom

This isn't about what Justin thinks of your statements. Its about respecting others around you. I learned this the hard way... I was quite down on President George W. Bush when he was in office and after. I happen to be a fan of the current US president. That being said, others around me say many hateful things about a man I respect. While they have a right to their own opinion, I'm not a fan of it. More importantly, I realized how I may have made others feel when I was down on President Bush. Learning respect for others even when you disagree with them.
Its one thing to make factual statements about aspects of his music, its another to declare it cr@p because you don't enjoy it.
I'm not saying a better person, but I'm always trying to become a better person.

I think his point was that anonymous people tend to behave badly.

Justin who? Never heard of him.

Believe it or not I have a kind of super power: I've barely listened to any of his songs, at much 4 or 5 times in total and not complete.
There are really not much things that I care less about...
No hate, no love here.
Without knowing if that is the case (but given his age probably is) I don't like the idea of those groups that are created in labs: a group of boys and girls that are manufactured to be loved, neither those ones that come from TV shows... But again, in this case I can't say anything...

I think music stars get a lot of hate they don't deserve in order to balance out all the obsessive fan worship they don't deserve, either. It's nature's way of making sure being a celebrity isn't too easy.
I generally ignore both the haters and the worshipers if I can.

It's merely a continuation of what has gone on for generations, my parents hated the music I listened to, my grand-parents hated the music by parents listened to...etc. This person is the face of current pop music and therefore a fun and convenient target. Far be it from me to question human nature, let us old people have our fun.

I have great respect for anyone who can make a living in the entertainment industry, let alone carry home large truckloads of cash. I've never heard any of his music, so I can't speak to the quality of it. The general consensus seems to be that it's shallow tripe with no value. If that's true (and I know it must be because I read it on the Internet), I would think the greater concern would be not his art but rather the fact that millions of people like shallow tripe with no value. He's simply following the oldest rule in show biz: give the people what they want.
Of course, it's probably just the backlash from overexposure coupled with the mindset of "in order for what I like to be good, everything else must suck." Every generation goes through that, and most never get over it. When I played rock and roll in the 70s, I had a Disco Sucks t-shirt because I was young, arrogant, narrow minded, and hey, everyone else had one! These days I'm happy to like what I like and allow others to do the same. If I had it to do over again, the t-shirt I'd wear would be Mean People Suck. And no, I still can't dance.

Everybody loves him. Especially since he said he quits.
I have never heard his voice nor I want to. Although it's always fun to pick on him. I don't know why, it just is.

This is why I would be so happy if he'd retire from the business:
I wouldn't have the read every day about his latest "mistakes" he did, like doing drugs or visiting a certain establishment. I don't care about him at all.
In fact: I would be more than happy if everyone just stopped talking about him.
This involves people like Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Michael Schuhmacher (nothing against him and I wish him all the best), etc. They are still just some random humans (true, maybe rich and famous) but they did nothing that really is of any importance to mankind (Yeah, I'm not really of any importance to mankind either, but you don't have to read about me in every newspaper around the world too). Sure, you can skip those article if you're not interested (which I do), but you'll still have read at least the headline and will already now "uuh... (s)he did that... well... that's great... now... why's that important again?"
In fact, in my opinion, news about those so called celebrities should be removed from all general newspapers and they should let those magazines dedicated to unimportant gossip cover the stories about them.

Then you will need to learn to be satisfied with one page newspaper where half the page is covered with name of the newspaper. May be less. I don't know how much is printed about other stories.
