Michael Jackson - dead

[IMstacie]

Wow, what a shocker him going into cardiac arrest.

[Marcia2202]

I totally agree

[R Glass]

  I was starting to wonder. We use to see C. Rice quite often but not much of Hillary. She doesn’t seem to be the type of person to just sit idle.

[Marcia2202]

Fact: Hillary, I actually saw her on CNN 2 days ago. She has been traveling outside the US, doing her job...

[R Glass]

  So many celebrities have recently passed away. Has anyone seen Hillary lately? I am starting to wonder if our Secretary of State passed away.

[IMstacie]

It is getting crazy, now a congresswomen wants Congress to pass a resolution honoring him. These are our elected officials!!!!!!!  No wonder we are in bad shape.

Chuckles - Susanne Somers - a true hero?????  Pleeeze.  At least Michael Jackson was the one of the largest (if not 'the' largest) donators to charitable organizations in the world.  Also, many creative type individuals are a little off.

[jdwithhcv]

He was such a troubled soul.  I hope he is now at peace.

I agree with Mike - the media feeding frenzy is sad.

[mikesimon]

The sharks sense blood in the water. The emptiness that spawns this stuff saddens me.
Mike

[Marcia2202]

Do you really want me to answer your question?

[FlGuy]

I read an online news report today. He's still dead.  And, it's been more than three days.

[chuckles333]

Would you go to disfigure yourself to make your nose look like Pinocchio's puppet nose (pre-growth) or to make your chin look like a catoon version of Kirk Douglas' chin (maybe All American Dad). Dangle your baby (head covered by hankercheif) from a third floor balcony? He went weld beyond normalcy in the weird department.

[fretboard]

Jackson's death was truly sad.  It's a sad commentary on how this society views it's stars of today.  Sure it's always sad when somebody dies but c'mon Michael had some deep seated issues that would have deserved a death sentence in some cultures.  just my opinion nothing more, except a little proof too...


In a taped June 2003 telephone interview, Katz, 55, gave a Santa Barbara sheriff's investigator his "off the record" opinion of the 46-year-old entertainer. Jackson, Katz told Det. Paul Zelis, "is a guy that's like a 10-year-old child. And, you know, he's doing what a 10-year-old would do with his little buddies. You know, they're gonna jack off, watch movies, drink wine, you know. And, you know, he doesn't even really qualify as a *********. He's really just this regressed 10-year-old."

[Marcia2202]

Oh, come on guys. I don't think that there is one single person of us who actually knew him. How can we judge someone whom we didn't even know. It's all speculation.

We are all a little wacko inside, some more, some less.

Frank566 -- very well said!

[chuckles333]

I think I've heard enough about Wacko Jacko in the last week. It just illustrates how petty an pathetic our society is when so many in it would idolize someone as obviously messed up as him. I'd rather hear about other, less weird, celebrities who fight an ongoing battle with desease and those who might have succumed to one. We hear very little about the survivors of desease, true heroes who have endured unthinkable things in their battles, like Susanne Somers, Christina Applegate, Kylie Minogue, or those who fight on today like Patrick Swayze, or the nobler ones who have succumed recently like Ed Mcmahon, or Farah Fawcett. They all get overshadowed, it seems, by one of the most bizarre people ever in the public eye. Maybe that's why he is so "newsworthy", because he was such a weirdo. It's like people flocking to a train wreck to witness the blood and gore. I know I am sick of hearing about him. When something comes on TV about him, I change channels. For a while that didn't work either. You had to turn it off all together.

[franke566]

Don't forget to mention Boy Scout leaders, School Teachers, Coaches, Baptist, Lutheran, Episcopal, Mormon, Jehovah Witnesses and Uncles, Aunts, Moms, brothers and sisters when you mention child molesters!  I've been a Catholic all my life and saw some obvious effiminate Priests and some tough brothers and never was molested or heard of anyone in my parish being molested.  I'm 60 years old and was taught as far back as I can remember what inapproiate touching was.  The parents of that child Michael Jackson allegedly molested set him up.  Period.  No normal parent would let anyone as weird as he was be left alone with him but don't forget more children are molested by the NORMAL looking types than by the weird and obvious ones.  God will judge him.  It's not for us to judge anyone.  I wasn't there.  We only know what the media feeds us.  
  

[JTRiver]

Am I the only person that doesn't care about this? I'm sad about Billy Mays he was a good person not a freak.

[IMstacie]

everyone wants their 5 min of fame.

[Rockerforlife]

Maybe the staff were in on it too.

[Tippyclubb]

After the first case they were some interviews with people who had worked as staff for Michael and they said when he was in the room with the boys the doors were locked.  

[Rockerforlife]

Then again he may well be quilty...all im saying is to me i never seen the solid proof he was quilty...still...to be honest....i would not want him bay sitting my kids

[Rockerforlife]

How do YOU know the doors were locked?...to me there was not enuff evidence to convict him...what were the official charges anyway?..why didnt more kids lay more charges...i believe there was only a few parents who made millions of the case

[Tippyclubb]

.i just have my suspisions he may be innocent of the charges aganist him

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the beginning of the accusations I thought about that also.  The one thing that kept me from believing that is, he was never in the bedroom with a group of little girls and boys.  It was always little boys behind locked closed doors.  If it were truly innocent like he claimed, why lock the doors?

[Rockerforlife]

He may have been set up,it happens all the time where you get set up so well that if you do go to court and fight you know you will lose...im not really a Jackson fan,but a lot of corruption in ths mad world and who really knows what really happened...i must admit he was a wee bit strage to want to be around kids all the time...but to me me ,he had the mind of a little child....i just have my suspisions he may be innocent of the charges aganist him

[ladybug52]

Kind of have to agree with you about MJ. I think he was talented, but a strange sick individual. Too many accusations and too much time alone with kids. Abuse happens alot, and people don't want to believe something that horrific is actually taking place. Look at all the priests that got off after so much abuse. People didn't want to talk about it or face it for a long time.
