R.I.P. Michael Jackson

Post Reply New Topic

I would only define true MJ fans as those people who just appreciates the music that he did, while never focusing on well the eccentric stuff he did before he died. I just pitied him as he tried to revive his sagging career and fame through a farewell concert series... He is awesome. But yeah, good people die young. May you allow me to cry here?

Michael Jackson is only accused of the former not the later. I think treating accusations as facts is bad enough, not to mention broadening that liberally without any proof.



If only you would extend your skepticism to everything and not just things that you don't like. Just have look at the materials available about the first case, the accuser hardly have a case at all. And if the states believed that they had a case, they could indict Michael Jackson anyway and subpoena the boy even if they already settled.

Also do you so conveniently neglect the fact that the boy had been sedated by Sodium Amytal before alleging Michael Jackson for molestation. If drugs with such strong suggestive property can be used to extract statement then we may as well just send anyone we don't like to prison without a trial.



Sorry to break it to you too, the two accusing families are not the most honest among us either.



So now Martin Bashir is the honest guy and he will never twist interviews for viewings. I've heard that Michael Jackson has a rebuttal video and some of the families expressed that Martin Bashir twisted their wordings.

True. I won't say I'm his fan, but I love his music. And whatever his private life was, his music is beautiful.

I still find it a bit hard thinking that he is now dead, I didn't see it coming. The day he died is a day I'll never forget.

Here's a video I made. Please do watch it.

Nice video that makes me weep.

No one can ever execute the moonwalk so perfectly, ever, like MJ.

Well said!


Though I would rather not be involved in discussion of his controversy, has anybody honestly stopped to think that maybe he's just an easy target?

It surprised me too that he just passed

well, yes, the issue is that people make their own assumptions out of what they listen and watch from the media and from other sources, and often most would tend to believe in rumors, I believe is very common for people to take things for granted without actual proof, and well, some would claim 'common sense' and perhaps even intuition as to support few claims but that doesn't do anything really.

I really can't say anything against him or for him related the case, because I really don't know the facts, I mean, I wasn't there and I was not involved in the events nor I was involved in the investigation, and given that, how can I have a say about that other than just pure speculation and nothing more than that, which would be meaningless by now.


well, the setlement may raise some questions, that's true, the question is if that is enough to gain to a solid conclusion, and I wonder if that can be considered to be some sort of circumstancial evidence of guilt, and if that could be possibly valid, and if it is, I don't think that wouldn't be enough. Not to mention that what we know seem to be just a superficial knowledge of that fact, if I'm correct, I would think the knowledge of all the details of the settlement would be needed and examined.


well, that may be very well true, but there is a problem, and the problem is puting oneself in a better position of judgement than the jury, I mean, if juries are to be questionable then why my or your own judgement should be of more reliability than theirs? and that is an interesting issue.


well, the question is how reliable is the information from documentaries anyway, and I mean any documentary? and mostly when their position is likely to be biased, wether it is in favor or against the issue, and well, I really don't trust the media anyway.

No wonder... may MJ finally rest in peace with no money worries!

This is precisely the reason why I gave watching television news and reading newspapers. I won't be indoctrinated by them!

Let's hope you still love the star of all times...

The man built an amusement park in his back yard to make it easier to get little kids to come to his house. He even had plastic surgery to make his nose look like that of a toy. Although he was found not guilty, I believe that verdict as much as that of OJ. I'm sorry for saying that he raped kids, I should've said he molested kids, since that makes a world of difference.

I didn't respect the pedophile while he was alive, so why should I show respect now that he's dead?

Beccause he made good music? I suppose...

Dude, do you have any respect for the dead?

Ugh... I can't believe some people's attitudes. Michael Jackson was a lovely, but abused and unwell man. He had a condition called Body dysmorphic disorder which is why he did so much plastic surgery on himself, nothing to do with attracting kids. He built a fairground in his yard to attract kids? so what. He wanted to be a kid himself, something he never had a chance to do thanks to his idiot father who forced him to be a singer. I stood by the man (not literally) all through both trials because I honestly trusted what he said over what the media said. You can never trust the media because they make up sensationalist lies to make money. Ending my rant, I would like to say that he will be sorely missed and his music will forever be legendary. (I'm going to buy his album once the £20 'death' rise has been reduced...) Rest in peace dude!
