Michael Jackson -- Cardiac Arrest

Pedophilia is hardly a fault to be forgiven. If it weren't for his wealth and fame, Jackson would've been in prison.

The man was sleaze and the world is better off without him!

He was not charged rabbit! He was acquitted - again, I will say, we don't know what type of dealings went on behind the scenes, however, these parents took the money and ran. If it were true about Michael, they would have taken him to court in a heartbeat - they would not have settled - not unless they feel there is a price to be paid for damage done to their children.....come on. Michael did nothing to these kids.....the parents saw dollar signs when Michael came into the picture. IMO

Let me remind you that it's alleged pedophilia. Only four people know the truth - Michael, the two boys he is alleged to have molested, and God. The rest of us merely speculate about what might have happened. If you search the Internet for "Jordan Chandler", or "Evan Chandler", there's information that raises a reasonable doubt as to whether anything actually did take place.

Michael Jackson had a boatload of problems, no doubt about it. The emotional and mental price he paid to achieve the level of stardom he did is something I wouldn't want to endure.

But as to whether or not he molested children, that's something I'll have to wait until I arrive in the Great Beyond to find out - along with who shot JFK, what happened to Amelia Earhart, is there really a Sasquatch, and some of life's other mysteries.

I can help you with those ones:

JFK was shot by Bill Bixby. He got angry, and nobody would like him when he got angry.

Amelia Earhart faked her own death in order to become a nun in Scotland

I am a Sasquatch.

Hank Willams died of rt. ventrical dilation as stated in the death certificate. This too was drug/alcohol-Related, being good at something does not excuse drug and alcohol abuse in anyone. And if people would not just say poor, poor so and so every time some otherwise talented person dies from abuse it might save a life or two, A little more stigma might do less harm and some good.
I don't hate any of these people who clearly had heelp fron so called friends that aided in their deaths or igored their problems to death.
I hate the sin not the sinner. Forgiveness's fine just never condone or forget talent or no talent.

I do hope you also hate the sinners who die of cancer, heart disease or other diseases?

What everyone is forgetting is that drug/alcohol addiction are a disease. It's not some kind of character flaw. It's a disease.

Entertainers are human and fall prey to the disease of addiction more then other groups because of the lifestyle they have to lead to get to where they are. Of course, that's last part is just my opinion. I don't have anything to back up that assertion.

But, what is true, MJ suffered from the disease of addiction. It's unfortunate his doctor didn't step up and do something about it before it got this far. Villifying an addict, is like railing at Farrah for getting cancer.

When the ridiculous hysteria over this pedophile is over will be when it is proven that he was also a drug addict and headlines to that effect will be coming in the next few days. Reports of tracks on his arms came out today.
And as I said before some idiots will excuse this drug abuse as needed because of some phantom illness that was never there.
I understand parents of little boys are still calibrating.

Michael Jackson is an addict
Michael Jackson is an addict - The Superficial - www.thesuperficial.com

Pop star Michael Jackson's family is planning to trip to Bahrain to stage a drug intervention, the New York Daily News reported Wednesday. "The family is in a state of emergency. They consider it a life-or-death situation," a source close to the family told the newspaper. The source said a phone call from the Jackson children's nanny to Randy Jackson raised concerns the musician is bingeing on drugs.

what are you talking about only coming out today?
it was already revealed that his body is covered with injection marks. he was a ****ing junky, a 'suspected' pedophile and a flat out freak
 
I just heard this memorial fiasco is costing LA over 3 million dollars. Did they really have the money to spare?
 
Let us all hang our heads in shame, as the left coast pays homage to a pervert.

I think what's even more shameful is that they turned someone's memorial into a huge social event and sold tickets to it like it's the Oscars or something. I also find it hilarious that so many people who were disgusted with Michael Jackson (a lot of the media included) are treating him as if the last 15 or so years didn't happen.

I guess it is a sign of the time, when homage is given to some freak like Jackson and we get hardly a word about 7 brave soldiers that got killed yesterday in Afg.
 
His homage on TV is kinda freaking creepy. Is that his body right there in front of them as they do all these performances or is that a representation? After watching MJs producers make this for him I bet they will make way more in sales. I would be too scared to be famous because I would be too scared after I was simmering on the back boiler or talking about something against their will (or too controversial) they would just find a way to off me and drive sales.

That argument - what parent would allow someone to molest their child for money - doesn't hold water in light of the fact that parents will frequently abuse and murder their own children. No parent in their right mind would do that, would they?

The parents who settled are just as sleazy as Michael.

We'll know the truth when South Park depicts him in Hell vying with Saddam to be Satan's lover :mrgreen:

The family has refused to pay. Don't know exactly what the estate says.

They'll probably do the same.

If I were LA, I would've told them to look elsewhere for their memorial service because of the extraordinary security concerns; unless they were willing to pay for it.

That's his body.

Ewwww!!!

I just realized something! Michael Jackson died on Thursday, June 25th, and they're just now burying him on Tuesday, July 7th? Twelve days later??

Embalming fluid or not, I'd imagine the inside of that coffin is getting a little... shall we say... ripe! :shocked2:

You know, I'm honestly surprised that MJ didn't do cryostasis like Ted Williams did.

(The year is 2245. Somewhere in a quiet medical laboratory in California, a frozen body is being re-animated, while in the background music is heard - "The foulest stench is in the air, The funk of forty thousand years...".) :afraid:

:D

Not really an issue, he's been embalmed for 30 years.

The little kid near the end was cute and i had a tear in my eye when i saw Usher and the Mother crying.

I watched the memorial (I was at home today and had nothing better to do, so sue me), and the one part that got to me was when his daughter Paris spoke at the end.

It's a daddy/daughter thing, I think. :3oops:
 
Today turned out stormy, so the boy and I stayed home. We watched a few parts. I had my arm around him when Paris spoke. It got me big time. Circus aside, 3 kids lost their dad. That's the real heartbreak in all of this.
