Michael Jackson -- Cardiac Arrest

I won't remember him as "Jacko", the sick name given to him by the villifying court of the media and public opinion. The courts cleared him of charges, so I don't care about the alleged molestations.

What I will remember is the great entertainer that I watched as a kid, whose songs I sung with my family in the car on the way to my cousin's cottage, and whose ideas are something that we should revel in, as we are now in an era where that kind of creativity is hard to come by in popular music.
 
Oh that is just so ...

How about leave one person for us Black people to mourn? Whites have everyone else
Selfish bastards ;)

You have and hopefully you will not need to mourn any good people until their comes naturally. I just don't see MJ as a good person as I do not see any child molester as a being any good.

Okay then ... talk about taking things seriously .... o_O

I saw MJ as the author of many damn good music and i have no proof of whether he was a pedo or not. I thought he was tried and found innocent under a court of law?
 
It was June of '05 when a good friend of mine died in Iraq. I think I'll save my tears for him, instead of some clown that got rich showing his ass in public.
 
It's happy day for all parents of young boys that the Princess or Queen pop is dead. He was a total freak for the last 30 years.
The sad thing is that Farrah Faucet died. She suffered, and Jackson made little children suffer. I don't like to hear anyone died but this time I'm not one bit sad.
Elvis was the only King, other than Nat King Cole, or maybe Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Johnny Mathis or any number of others that weren't perverts.

When did Johnny Mathis die, I missed that.

"Chances Are " Johnny Mathis is still alive but I am sure that when he does dies their will be some people over age 76 that will get "Misty" over his passing .

Johnny Mathis
I found thsi Born: 9/30/1935
Age: 73

I salute your friend and wish you the best.

I didn't like him because of the careless risk he took with his baby's life when he held him over the railing. That scared the hell out of me and still makes me shudder to this day :shock:. Aside from that, he was cleared of any charges brought against him, so I don't pay much attention to that stuff. He did have some good music, and I will always respect his talent.
 
Your law means nothing, or the court, or the fact he was found innocent? Which one?

technically, he was found "not guilty" I believe.

not my kind of music, buut for each his own

Hairsplitting.

I mean we can attack Jackson on many things but he was tried and wasn't found guilty, why attack him on that?
Do some people know something that i don't? Open to information and evidence no one else knows?

:shock:

I don't think i have ever met someone who dislikes Jackson's music ...
First time for everything :2wave:

It's not really hairsplitting, it has real meaning. He was not "innocent", there just was not enough information to find him guilty. It's a gray area any one accused of a crime find themselves in here.

Ofc, I am not accusing him of anything. I found his music horrible, and his personal conduct abhorrent, but neither of those have anything to do directly with the charges that where brought against him.

I didn't mean you, but generally.

If there wasn't enough evidence to convict him, or even to have doubt. Then that is as good as evidence.
I wouldn't put it past the parents of children to use them for money but i know no more than anyone else.

Really? I have never met someone who does like Jackson's music.

He ruined Rockin Robin !! not that it was classic but it was rock n roll and it was old. Well Bobby Day may differ with me.

I don't undertsand how someones death(non-violent) can turn into a debate. There's nothing to debate! He died, leave him be.

Its disgusting the lack of respect some people have for the deceased, child molester, or not.

What is disgusting is that my news is blocked up with a dude dying when there is a possible massacre in Iran. WTF!
I expected better of BBC, I am deeply ashamed we are focusing on him.

So were we to have had "respect" for Hitler and Stalin. How about Jeffrey Dalhmer did his death eat you up also ?

Haha, I personally don't care that he died, but really. People should have a little respect. And I agree, Iran is more important than Michael Jackson.

No. Michael Jackson didnt kill millions of people and lead a genocide. He was ACCUSED of molesting someone, and he was an important American icon, and have a little bit of respect for someone. If your father died, and he was ACCUSED of being a child molester, would you have respect for him if he died? I think so.
