Just walked by the TV my girl was watching and some of these channels are having people call in and are like "Where were you when it happened?" Like its on par with 9-11 or a presidential assasination or something? WHO GIVES A ROTTEN S**T! He was a piece of shit child molester! I just can't believe so much attention is being given to him.

Ok rant over.

Thread locked - we have enough MJ related threads and they are getting locked down.

Use the one at the top for your rants

They are equating it to Lennon I guess?

Doesn't everyone know where they were when he died?

I'm older than most here, so I never got into the MJ fanboi club...:roll: but I do remember the Jackson 4 when Mikey was a cute little black kid with a big nose...For the most part, their music was OK.

Once he got wierd...and started trying to turn himself white...it affected his music...and MOST of it I didn't care for.

(I can still recognize the underlying talent...without likeing the music)

It pissed me off when he outbid Paul McCartney for the rights to the Beatles music...most of which McCartney either wrote...or co-wrote.

I think the guy bordered on pedophilia. I don't know (nor was it ever proven) that he actually sexually molested kids, but IMO, there has to be at least SOME truth underlying all the stories and rumors.

I don't know what tipped this guy off his rocker...but I'm not the least bit sad that he's dead. (no, not cheering about it...just not sad)

Ah, so that means it is true! Good thing we've never heard of a jury being wrong before.

Apparently you have better evidence than they did, then?

We also know how to spot a pattern, amirite?

And lets be honest. I know those who loved his work like to defend him, but all you have to do is look at the wierdo and know that shit wasnt right.

I agree with the bolded, my response follows:

I don't care one way or another, and he did do some weird ass shit, but the only 2 people who know the truth are the kid and MJ.

what jury?

if im not mistaken , all of the cases he was involved in were $ettled out of court.

with enough dough or a good lawyer (hallo there OJ! ) you can get away with almost anything nowadays.

I wonder what we could dig up on you if we put your entire life under the public microscope Jackson lived under for 50 years.

Stop being a douche, the guy is dead.

Let's see. He went on trial for it several times. He gave children alcohol and called it Jesus Juice.

If you were a parent, would you send your child to MJ's estate for a "sleep over" if it's common knowledge that he's giving children alcohol and raping them? Of course you wouldn't. But parents did it anyway and he kept getting accused of child molestation.

Do the math. Just because a jury couldn't convict him doesn't mean he's not a piece of shit child-raping hell spawn.

He was one of the most influential faces in music, yes, but he threw all of that away with his psychopath antics in the past decade.

This is about as much as I care that he's dead: ---> . <---
