Update on Micheal Jackson

[darkbeaver]

He's dead and the major networks have devoted thousands of hours already to the dearly departed twit. It's a good thing there's nothing more important happening in the world than this dead unfortunates early tragic heartbreaking death that leaves us all shattered and thoroughly depressed..

in other news, Darkbeaver watches the major networks.

Did MJ's death interrupt Days of our Lives, beaver? :smile:

 

[darkbeaver]

at tragic times like these yes I do quickly set up the rabbit ears and monitor the signals

I guess my sentiments are a little different from the mainstream. When it comes to guys f*****g around with little children, I think any accomplishments are automatically negated. How can the harm of destroying a child be compensated?

They can't, ever, and they can bury all of his music accomplishments with
him, and delete him forever, I've got more legitimate people to admire than
a pedophile.

I'm pretty sure he was acquitted of those charges.

Pissing on a man's grave is low when the body is not even cold. How about we give him a decent burial and then release the hounds?

No one is denying his messed up life over the past 15 or 20 years. Perhaps his father Joe Jackson has more to answer for than Michael Jackson. Forcing a 5 year old to a regimental and structured way of life such as MJ led is not healthy at all. Being the runt of the family (and shy to boot) he got more than his fair share of verbal and physical abuse. When he finally had the courage to break away from the family and strike out on his own he was not equipped to handle the stresses of adult life. I wonder how many kids go through life like that? Having to withstand the rigors and stresses placed on them by overbearing parents only to come out the other side with such severe psychological problems they can't cope with day to day life?

Look at the man in the mirror.

Fame has its price MT. If you live a public life your death will be a public event and I know damn well he's enjoying every minute of it.

An acquital doesn't mean he was not guilty.
Question to everyone - How many threads do we have to have for Michael Jackson??????

 

[Risus]

Its unfortunate that the media makes a god of a pervert.

VanIsle, Talloola- Just to set the record straight, I'd have no problem with p*ss*ng on his grave 5 minutes after he's dead and I think you are both more or less with me on that score. "He was never convicted"-- Doesn't take rocket science to figure that out- the guy he paid out was probably just as screwed up as he was. Would an innocent man pay out $millions - that is tantamount to an admission of guilt right there. What if he'd been a pauper? He'd be someone's boy in jail for the next 50 years. He was just as corrupt as the system. But I guess it's all a sign of the times, a voice, a slap shot, or a beautiful face is more valuable today than common decency.

Ain't it the truth

 

[L Gilbert]

Sometimes it is simply more expedient to pay a settlement than to fight an accusation. I think at the time, 15 million was a drop in the bucket for the creep. He spent lots, had lots, and borrowed lots. He was irrational, IMO, so it may have been just a whim for him to fork the $15M over. Who knows?

 

[Kreskin]

I think he was a guy who never had a childhood and tried to live one in his later years. Having all that cash around he was an easy target. Macaulay Calkin was one kid who spent his youth there. If I remember correctly he called the charges absurd.

An acquital is evidence that there is no evidence. Without evidence, on what does one base their opinions?

I personally listen to a crawdad in a tophat.

Isn't there a law against that in the bible? "Cast not thy piss upon the ground". Yur gonna hell fur shur.

 

[Ariadne]

Wow, two mickey jackson threads so shortly after his death ... is this thread different from the last and should I be listening to country music if I have had enough of the pedophile's "dead" publicity.

That's bull sh*t, people have been acquitted on a technicality like somebody said something stupid or a cop forgot to jot a "J".

Probably, but S.J. says it's Okay if you don't believe everything you read in the Bible.

I think if I had my way the answer would be big fat zero
