Michael Jackson Dead at 50

[Boilers]

As a Christian I'll say this. The alleged acts were despicable.
But, I think that Christ offers a way to salvation at the same time.
That being said, the one report I posted mentions his conversion to Islam.
I have no insight into how that might work out for him.
So, that leaves me with I should live my life better day by day. That is my responsibility and what I am tasked with. No choice in the matter.

C'mon folks....

The guy's dead. I know we may not think much of his latter years antics, but dang! How about a little compassion??..............

..........Don't get me wrong, I've laughed along with the jokes myself but, I just can't be glad that he's gone.

You are the culmination of your actions, and inactions, during life. You should be remembered for these, good or bad. The memories of your life should not be sterilized to just remembering the good or positive. People need to be held accountable in life as well as in death. If you want to be remembered as a "good person," then live your life as a "good person."

As to him being found "not guilty," someone else made the point that OJ was also found "not guilty."

Rest in peace, Farrah.

Rest easy, children. No more of you will suffer by this *ahem* "person's" hand than have already.

If the above number is zero, it's just as true as if it is 15,000,000. No more will be victimized. Trouble is that there are others guilty of what he was accused of doing.

Prayers with Farrah's family.

Blessings,
Bill

1. You are what you do when it counts.

2. The One who judges will do so, He does not need (and likely does not want) my input on the matter. I have absolute faith and confidence in His justice and do not feel the need to worry about it.

3. I pray for all the families involved and hope this helps close an ugly chapter in many, many lives.

I've had many dogs I will miss more than pretty much any celebrity.

(Charlton Heston isn't one of them though.)

Aaaah, fresh air again. At least he is not contaminating our air any more.

Edit: I just turned the news on and it said Michael was found not breathing and rushed to the hospital...It isn't saying he's for sure dead though.

was the little boy ok??? i never liked micheal jackson except when he was little and his big hit was ABC123

Wow, I totally missed it. Not going to miss him. Now to see if the world can survive the 3 weeks of news coverage, tributes, and "not dead" conspiracies.

And, what's gonna be sneaked under the radar in congress with news coverage only focused on the dead "pop star?"

I just got a couple of phone FWD's...

"Michael Jackson died today! He had food poisoning; he ate a 6 year old weenie!"

"Due to the fact that Michael Jackson is 99% plastic, he will be melted down into lego blocks so little kids can play with him for a change."



I hate to beat a dead horse, but I am not one to poke fun or crack jokes at anyone who dies, but if you sleep naked in a bed with little children you have it coming.

 

[Dryden]

I'll admit that I did NOT read all the other posts in this thread.

I don't care.

This "celebrity" was a sick pervert. STOP worshipping the the Hollywood wackos.

Re: Michael Jackson's death

Boo-f***in'-hoo. Good riddance.

He won't be able to harm any more children now. He won't be able to perpetuate an egregious example of being able commit predatory crimes and suffer no significant punishment because he was rich and entertained some people.

I think the world is a better place now, but unfortunately by just a little bit. Of course, for the children and families he won't harm in the future, I think it's a huge freakin' win even though they'll never know.

He was found innocent by a panel of his peers....
IMHO, he should have been in jail for being stupid enough to give the media cause to wonder.

He was one of the best know artists and gave us some pretty good music for pretty much all his life, and like him or not, he was a musical and marketing genius.

Don't get me wrong, I've laughed along with the jokes myself but, I just can't be glad that he's gone.

No fan myself, but I have to agree. Only a select few will ever know the truth about what happened, if anything. Guilty or not, he was found innocent. The biggest piece of evidence they had was the fact that he was a complete weirdo. That in itself just makes him an easy target.

The fact still remains, he had alot of talent.

R.I.P.

Is this thread still going?.......

Correct!

OK supposed to happen in 3's. Where's the other shoe.

Maybe Ed McMahon yesterday or Grasshopper (Karradine) last week.

Making me feel old boys and girls.

(if this offends, see my sig.)

So Sorry. You don't pay off some kid $20 MILLION if you are innocent, he
walked (moon walked?) out of that because he was rich.

As others have said his pedo tastes are not a concern anymore.
Hell will have a special place for him. I don't care.

If you were the parent, would you accept any amount of money if a freak molested your child... or would you stop at nothing to see him imprisoned? I know what I would do.

I am a parent 4 times over (9 if you count my dogs)

Sorry, no amount of $ would make him safe.

for clarification: jackson was a complete scumbag and deserves a terrible afterlife.

Agreed. I can't help but be suspicious of the parents motives here. As for the afterlife... that's between him and his maker now.
