FFXSoul91 1,084 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) This is the least outrageous thing he's done lately. Shove a piece of fabric away and it's news. It's unlikely he even knows what the Argentinian flag looks like. Yeah, it's disrespectful when put in perspective, but not worthy of criminal punishment.

garnite 7 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) if you don't think sweeping the floor with a country's flag is disrespectful, you're a ****ing idiot. yeah but if you isolate the context like that it appears disrespectful but it's not quite what happened. "burning a flag is disrespectful", yeah ok but if instructions on how to make a nuclear bomb were written on a flag i don't think disrespectful is what you'd call burning it. it blows my mind how people think that scrunching a flag up into a ball and throwing it at another human being while they're busy doing their job is completely okay and not even worthy of being mentioned, but when that person sweeps it away, possibly without actually knowing what it is, after having it THROWN at them no less, they're the disrespectful one. it's the weirdest double standard and i don't believe you've thought about it for more than a second after seeing "justin bieber" in the title. what would've been the correct way to treat it? lift it off the ground at which some argentinian carelessly threw it, wave it above his head and then throw if off stage so as not to hurt the poor flag's feelings? would anyone have cared if it were one of his security guards who quickly pulled it off stage before he could see it? this whole thing is ridiculously petty and i don't think people should support institutionalised pettiness which is what this whole flag sanctity business is based on.

Mariann 301 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 A national flag is sacred. People who haven't always had the luxury to live in a free country will know how to appreciate it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemist 0 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 the flag was obviously thrown as a welcoming offer in order to welcome him to the country.. gaga was thrown an argentinian soccer jersey and she put it on, not swiped it across the ground and took it off stage. its disrespectful, point blank period Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Peters 10,335 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I don't want to offend anyone but...they punish you for showing disrespect to a flag/their country? In jail?? They take patriotism seriously over there It's basically saying you don't give a **** about the country if you disrespect the flag. Same goes for America. It's highly disgraceful to do anything bad to the flag. We don't put people in jail, tho. emma roberts is an abuser Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
teo 609 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 He should go in jail for what he's wearing, not the flag thing... Like the gurl is pretty, she can dress way better than that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kermit the frog 1,761 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) anyone who considers what he did a crime or "disrespectful" is a loser. sweeping things that his drones disrespectfully threw on stage is not in turn disrespectful, and certainly not just because it's a flag. a flag has no feelings and cannot be disrespected. he had no reason to give a damn what it was. The fact that the feeling of patriotism is a strange concept to you doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I have no idea where you're coming from with this?

While I do think Justin Bieber is one of the most immature celebrities out there, I do agree that this is a minor 'crime' in comparison to his other stunts.

NewYorkCity 10,467 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/5793037/justin-bieber-confirms-r-kelly-collaboration-addresses-argentina?utm_source=twitter Justin Bieber is still going strong with his downbeat, R&B-driven 'Music Mondays' release series, and it appears that next week's track will get an assist from a titan in the genre. On Wednesday (Nov. 13), Bieber told his Twitter followers that his previously-hinted-at collaboration with R. Kelly will be arriving "next week," although the teen superstar did not clarify whether or not the track would be part of 'Music Mondays' or a bonus cut outside of the series. "I just did a song [with him]," R. Kelly told Vibe about Bieber earlier this week. "[Justin] just called me to do a song and it's hot. He wanted to go and do some R&B stuff so we got together and did that." Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
