why jobro fans can't have nice things....

[AbsoluteAwesome1]

Basically, what JB fans are doing is treating the Jonas Brothers as merchandise, not people. That's not fandom--that's consumerism. The Jonas Brothers are the prize, and they do whatever it takes to get their hands on the prize.

It's a messed-up system, but it's the system they've got going.

That reminds me of John Green's book Paper Towns.
"What a treacherous thing to believe that a person is more than a person."

did everyone forget about the white house party about a month ago????? even some of the best security has faults.

But this has been shown to be a reoccurring problem with his security specifically.

Makes me think of the Jonas episode of South Park.

Awesome!

yes, it is.

I think I'm gonna leave before this gets worse.

I'll give you guys your awards in the morning.

That is NOT what Shelby was talking about. That girl seemed to be invited, these girls MOBBED the stage. There's a HUGE difference.

it started with a couple of girls getting invitied.

I didn't see them rushing towards our president and petting him. Or did i miss that?

If I were Nick Jonas, I'd probably be afraid to leave my house after that. o.e

Yes, but what happened after is the problem.

We all understand girls were being invited. And if one or two extra went up- it wouldn't be an issue.

But he. was. MOBBED!

He was physically assaulted, practically molested, and generally being harassed.

By no means in any realm of human decency is that a good thing.

We've established this point on page 2, and moved on to discussing differences between craziness/dedication/disrespect.

HA I didn't realize there was more than one page till after I posted that.
my bad.

Woah! back off! Show some respect, seriously.

i did. it looked a lot like an attack to me. just my opinion.

No disrespect intended, dude. Just stating my opinion like you've been on this thread.
I wasn't attacking you, I just think its lame that you categorize all Jonas fans as stalkers.
*virtual truce hand shake* ?

they didn't "pet him" per say. but for a couple who wasn;t invited they sure got a whole lotta face time.

That's the point! Some girls were invited, and the others thought "I want to go up too! I should be able to!" And just did it!

The thing is, Nick wanted to do something nice for some fans by inviting them up, and now because of these girls and their disgusting lack of respect for ANYONE, they ruined it.

No one is grouping Jonas fans as stalkers.

We are, however, saying that what the girls who mobbed the stage did was extremely disrespectful.

 

[LittleMissMusical]

[WDWtraveler27]

Fight? I call this a heated discussion.

Yep.

No one was making attacks, but we were adamantly defending our points.

Good debate.
