you judge the NTs, too, you know.

Have you ever met a normal person? And, did you like it?

subtle, but still a judgement.

you are right, very subtle...it was a slogan that I remember from a sticker in a gay venue. it sums up that people find us queers abnormal, and that basically msot people are not normal for the normalcy, somebody somehwre somehow has something, btu if we want us to be normal we wouldn't have people like Woody Allen IE.


normal people take anyone they perceive as 'different' as abnormal. It doesn' matter if one is queer or race or religion or even. . . autsim, the stares and the reaction is the same.

Good music and very different. All I know about him is what is advertised in the media, be it true or be it false, sometimes I'm not sure which to believe

Michael, you're not a freak. You're just surgically enhanced, you love boys, and you spend more money than the Vatican.

we have no right to judge him. All we know about him through media and papparazzi.

I hate the word freak...it's so American, you hear it in all your movies. Is it true American youngsters use this all the time for someone who is different?
Did they ever call you a freak because you are different, and now a freak is judging someone else who is different to be a freak?
knock it off!


Give me a break. We have no right to judge him? He probably judges. Besides, he held his kid off a balcony, has slumber parties with children, and started life as a black boy but is now a white woman. And I'm so sorry if I use a term that's just soooo American. Because after all America is sooo terrible, right??!

People focus way more on his faults than on his talent.

No right to judge? Dude, the OP spcifically asked for a judgment!

So we all have the right to judge, unless we're all Bible-thumping fundies here ... which is definately not the case!

For the record: In my opinion, Michael Jackson is a washed-up has-been with poor taste in clothes, poorer financial sense, an even poorer idea of what makes for a good plastic surgeon, and possibly the poorest concept of proper man-with-boy relationships ever seen!

'Nuff said. MJ is a living example of why parents should NEVER EVER force their kids into showbiz. BTW you don't have to be a Bible-thumping fundie to be judgmental.
