Putting the argument whether Jacko was or wasn't a child molestor to one side. ANY pervert who interferes with children in any way shape or form DOES NOT have equal rights :nuts: You might wish them to have equal rights as you, but I'd string them up by their balls to the nearest tree given the chance.

I agree.

I think Michael was very misunderstood by the media and as I stated in another post I don't think we will ever know the full story but I think his childhood was taken from him and so he tried to make up for it later on however being childlike and living your youth is different, he has said in numerous interviews that I've caught because it was on he's expressed how much children mean to him and how he would never hurt a child, I think like everyone else was shocked to the core when he dangled his son from the balcony but again in an interview after that he said that he was holding the child tightly and securly but that still does not exciuse the fact he did it.

R.I.P Michael

Agreeing with snackpack here. The fact he even ALLOWED the children to sleep in his BED is disturbing enough. whether or not he got action with them is up for debate. may he rest in piece, but i am more shocked about this then mournful.

He's not exactly going to say he's an untrustworthy raving lunatic who gets a jolly from dangling infants out of hotel windows.

I wonder if his kids were ever put on a child watch list or whatever you call it when you think the parent(s) are a bit screwy :nuts:

What I find disturbing is that celebrities who certainly bring us joy and a lot music will get fried for any wrong doing which the media can find about them. Yet you have politicians who engaged in a completely illegal war (Bush and Blair) and they get off scott free and the latter of whom even gets considered for EU president! Meanwhile the media can only let us know how much the local politican has claimed for a chandelier or how crap Gordon Brown is suppossed to be. Do I think causing a war which causes thousands of death is worse than suppossedly sleeping in a oxygen chamber? Yes I do!!

Sorry but this world has gone completely screwy and hypocritical thanks in large part to people like Rupert Murdoch. :nuts:

some posts in this thread make me sick.

Why is it that after someone died, you either have to praise or condemn them?
If you want Michael Jackson to rest in peace, then let him do so, and dont argue about the same old shit over and over again.
Wether he's guilty or not, THIS is neither the place, nor the time to discuss it.

Sorry, had to say that.

I don't know if it's solely Rupert Murdochs fault, but we definitely live in a society now where insecure celebrities crave for media attention and the public crave for their daily fix of celebrities. And all this is fuelled by the tat gossip magazines they sell and brain dumb shows like Celebrity Big Brother.

Thank you RJ! Nothing more to add to that.

it was such a shame to hear what happened to michael jackson 50 was no age to die at, i did like him when i was a kid but he was so talented i do feel sorry for kids as they have lost their dad. i hope he rests in peace

RJ, I totally agree.
Some of the posts have made me feel sick.
There is a time and place for certain things and a thread of condolence is hardly the time or place for it.


R.I.P

I have felt sick also.

Michael Jackson Prepared For Public Viewing

Michael Jackson: A life of music

Michael Jackson's last interview: The tragic singer’s final moments

Jackson's will to be filed in court today

Johnny at the London Premiere of PE on Monday, talks about Michael's passing and the rumour that he's to play him in a movie

It's hardly necessary to post news links here imo. Just head over to tmz.com for the latest Jacko news. They were the first to break the death news and have been acurate ever since on pretty much everything I think.

Andrew,
you don't have to read them, thought it was interesting.

You don't have to read my opinion on the matter either.

In my opinion posting all sorts of links to news articles, some of which are clearly hyped up bullshit like the Johnny Depp one is hardly respectful towards someone who has died just as much as debating the "other issue". You've constantly been the one to post "may he finally be laid to rest" etc yet you have been the most avid poster in this thread.

Sorry if I want to keep his memory alive a little longer, I post with the deepest respect or try to and then for you to say that upsets me to be honest, never have I once brought up certain issues and would never do so in a condolence thread. Yes Andrew that upsets me. I respect Michael as I have said to you before and in posting these links it's not in a way of disrespect but the complete opposite, but if you want to misconstrude it that way so be it.
I actually dl a new track last night with a special message from MJ which is very touching, and I could post it here but I'd be ridiculed for it probably so I won't.

Anyway back on topic (again :roll:) !!

R.I.P Michael

I agree with Andrew. This was partially what I meant with my initial post. Besindes pointless arguments, countless links, articles and videos certainly dont belong in a rip thread imo. And ending every post with 'rip michael' (no matter what size) wont change the fact that this is actually off topic.

Is there a point where we start to go round in circles with the same thing repeated over and over?

I understand what Emma is/was trying to do and hey the world's media are still discussing it, so maybe she has a point by posting links, if people want to go look at it fair enough. If they don't ok.

This thread isn't exactly having a major bearing on anyone's life in here and it's one of wario's most succesful topics (which I never thought i'd hear myself say or watch myself type!)

I think that point has been passed ...

I think that point has been passed ... :))

yay! :D

I dont know....Is there a point where we start to go round in circles with the same thing repeated over and over??

Oh no!! R.I.P Thread
