Honestly, I only worded it like I did because of the bannings surrounding dead people. I didn't give a shit.

I can honestly say I will miss Billy Mays more than MJ. Not that I really liked Mays, I just care that little about MJ. The only worthwhile things he did was music/entertainment and those are still around after his death. MEH

Same here, I was kind of thinking the same thing last week too.

stop posting.
Exactly. When was he last relevant with any of his new music, anyway? Been a LONG time since he really did anything other than be tabloid news. His last album will probably sell more now than it did when it came out. ;)

Your forgetting all the "MJ sighted in a local walmart"

ya. were a few weeks away from the rumor mill speculating that he hoaxed his death and he's sitting around with elvis somewhere.

That is all

I've said a good many things about MJ during his trial but honestly, I was greatly saddened by his early demise. Who knows if he was ever guilty of molesting young boys or not...it's a moot point now though. :(

Michael Jackson wrote ?We Are The World? with Lionel Richie in 1985 and performed it as part of an all-star single to raise money for Africa in 1985.

The Millennium-Issue of the ?Guinness Book Of Records? names Michael as the ?Pop Star who supports the most charity organizations?, according to JacksonAction.com, which has an extensive timeline of Jackson?s charity work

Fair enough. It doesn't change the fact that I don't miss him, but at least his non-pop life wasn't as worthless as I thought.

RIP MJ. Ignorant haters can go DIAF. No one will ever reach that level of greatness, ever probably.
