I don't think you (or anyone) should judge someone you did not know personally so easily.he was weird allright,but that alone does not make him an evil person..as for the molestation stuff,no one will ever know what was true and what was not.

he's dead now,so there is no value in thinking about this any further.


just for the record,I did not really like his music (so I'm not a fan),and castration is the least painfull and violent thing I wish to all (child) molesters,but I also like to keep a clear mind when looking on/thinking about things..

So much can be said about MJ...  Good and bad.  I felt sorry for him that he had to grow up (or not) in such a terrible environment.  No wonder he was so messed up.  He needed a life coach or something. 

I remember it was all about MJ in the 80's.  He had his own style of leather jacket, videos about his Thriller video, etc....  Too bad that since then, he was just a shadow of his former self.

you know what I think about this??

That americans are so hypocritical, even with this.

Before he died, almost everyone spat him out, ohh he is a child molester, oh he did this and he did that.

Now he's dead and they all go....ohh Michael, he's our hero, the biggest entertainer that ever lived (have to agree with that to a certain degree) and they can't praise him enough, redicilious.

As to whether he actually did it.....lotsa stories go round, the 1st few people that charged him with child molestation, some were proven to be false since the child later confessed that their parents made them say that, cause they promised him the biggest gift they had ever gotten if it worked.(can you say "golddigger??)

Others even just wanted to badmouth MJ and that was the ideal situation.

And one of the biggest follies of man is:

You can spend an eternity doing good deeds, helping others, living selflessly and if you make 1 mistake, they will most likely remember you for that, not alll the good you did.

Even if people will still remember you for all the good things, most of them will also say, yeah, but remember the time that......

I really liked the final words one of the guys said at the funeral:

Miichael, we love you, and maybe now, people will leave you alone.

I really liked his music, and that is what I will remember him for, for the artist he used to be.

And Leveller, you know what they say don't you?? Judge lest yee be judged!!
And ofcourse my alltime favorite:

Just bacause the majority of the people say something is true, doesn't make it so.!!! remember that.

Amen to that Brother~

Not to ME it isn't, a number of people seem to overlook the issue because "he made great music"

The fact he made great music means nothing to me.

Your argument is pointless since it was MJ.

There is a number of people (parents) blinded by his fame & press just as a number of people seem to think Roman Polanski is a fine director.

The fact he drugged and raped a minor doesn't seem to bother them a bit.

Sometimes people see what they want to see, I perfer to see the world in all its uglyness and beauty.

GDonovan,

I know the "being OK with it" part doesn't reflect your opinion, but those people "overlook" those things, bad as that may be, because they don't believe those alegations are true.

Is it really 100% proven that he did infact do those things he's accused off?? Did they find remnants of any drugs in any of the kids that have been there?? And if he in fact raped a minor, there should be physical evidence.

I don't know all the ins and outs about the numerous trials that were going on about him and I'm sure there is some truth in them, but in my opinion there is more to it.

And this is all I will say about it, cause like most people, after all those days of continouos MJ news around the clock, I'm getting pretty fed up with it.

I don't know about everyone else, but I have a lot better things to do with my time than talk about (or talk down upon) some dead guy... on that note, the guy made quite an impact on the music industry, and will be remembered for that.  The rest I really could care less about... just like politics. Then again, I am not some old man with nothing better to do.   And for those who don't like it, Beat It, just Beat It.
