JohnMitchell 16 #76 June 26, 2009 Think his career will zoom into the stratosphere like Elvis's did when he died?I've got no use for child molesters, or the parents that give those kind of people access to their kids, so infatuated they are with celebrity. I did like his Thriller video. 25 years ago that was the schiznit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

livendive 8 #78 June 26, 2009 Quote Ahh, Hitler was such a tragic loss of life too... leader of a nation and all. Ok so that is a massive exaggeration but some people have a zero tolerance rule when it comes to this guy's character flaws. It's an open forum, no one has to be nice. The Golden Rule's ship left the DZ.com port a LONG time ago. Apparently the Golden Rule was replaced with Godwin's Law. I have a zero tolerance policy on child molestation. I think Michael Jackson was a complete freak and I'm pretty sure he did some bad things in his life, but as for child molestation, all I *know* is that he was acquitted. I'm not big on celebrities, but the three who passed this week brought laughter, music, dance, and fantasy into the lives of an awful lot of people. Those things are good for the human condition, and if I were the arbiter, I imagine I'd find that all brought far more happiness to this world than sadness. That doesn't excuse all their wrongs, but I don't think a perspective that excludes them is particularly fair. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

wrightskyguy 1 #98 June 26, 2009 QuoteWe all make mistakes. His may be true or false. We will never know for sure. ***At the very least, he slept with young boys in his bed, that you and I know FOR SURE. If Joe shit the ragman next door slept with young boys from the neighborhood, I'm pretty sure you'ld be at his door with torches. But somehow, because MJ was a celebrity, it's ok and he's just quirky. I can't deny that he was gifted musically, but no amount of talent can excuse his sick and perverted lifestyle.
