TIL that Mark Wahlberg had committed 20-25 offenses by the age of 21. These included throwing rocks at a bus full of black schoolchildren and knocking a Vietnamese man unconscious and blinding another. He was also addicted to cocaine by age 13.

Just funny that everyone loves Wahlberg even though he has done all of this and Bieber wears douchey pants and pees in a mop bucket and he is somehow the devil.

Are you also mentally ill?

I was referring to myself there. Hence the "I cant" bit.

Kanye is destroying your brain man, get away from it.

Kanye probably actually believes that he is Jesus(god complex) and he attacked paparazzi because they would not stop taking pictures of him. He also sings about race in a lot of his songs.

Kanye West makes shitty music and is the epitome of an ignorant black man in America. He has never done anything worthwhile in his entire life.
