Seriously, Rolling Stone?

So, the fact that Rolling Stone is interviewing Gagstain Beiber in the first place makes me twitch, but asking his opinions on rape and abortion? Of course, the fact that his answers are completely fucking stupid and rage inducing isn't helping matters any.

Guess what, Canada? He'll be voting age soon. Have fun with that.

I think I'm one of the few post-pubescent non-parental people out there that actually like Bieber.

I agree with some of the comments. Being 16 doesn't excuse cluelessness. But, being 16, growing up in a small town that probably is filled with dogmatic perspectives and everything is black/white, and then being thrust in the limelight early enough where he didn't get a chance to form those ideas on his own, he's probably just repeating what he's heard his mother say. I bet when he's grown up a bit and spent a bit more time in liberal hollywood (OMG THE HEATHENS) he'll change his tune a bit. The quote in that clip (I didn't click through to read the RS interview) seems there there is some doubt. Or maybe i'm just hoping he's not that dumb.

What I really don't like is that he said everything happens for a reason... no, little boy, no. Just. No. Ugh.

The comment about the pr team slacking is dead on. But, really.. is this what Rolling Stone has come to? I haven't read it regularly in years, so I don't know. I used to read it for MUSIC content, not political and religious ideology from the artists.

I'm willing to cut him some slack on it, but at some point in his career someone has to have told him "you don't have to answer every question". Ugh.
