Re: Michael Jackson is dead
One the one hand, I'm rarely glad when people die. He may have been.... strange.... but he was still a person, and 50 is too damn young to die.
On the other, I have to say a big part of me s just relieved that the freakshow is over. Who knows, maybe his kids will even get to grow up in something resembling a normal life now. Okay probably not, but one can hope.

Re: Michael Jackson is dead
Doubtful. For the two who have the same mother, she legally relinquished all parental rights some time ago, so those kids are now wards of the Jackson estate. I somehow doubt that being raised by Auntie LaToya will help provide a stabilizing influence.

Re: Michael Jackson is dead
Agreed. I'm sorry he's dead, but it's the same sort of sorry as if a friend's former roomate's cousin died. Sucks for his family, but beyond that, see the gif above.GrahamKennedy wrote:One the one hand, I'm rarely glad when people die.

Re: Michael Jackson is dead
Agreed with that. The shame is that a 50-year-old man died, not that "Michael Jacksontm" died.

I was amazed to heard Alex Rodriguez died, but then I realized they said the King of Pop passed away, not the King of Pop-Ups. ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Re: Michael Jackson is dead
you know what, it may be young, but when you do what he did, it's not that unexpected, potassium/sodium deficiencies from years of anorexia, narcotics abuse, the strain from all those surgery, then the pain killer from the doctor that put it over the top.
And, I don't care how much of an impact he had on music, when the last 10+ years of his life were plagued with molestation charges, he is no longer a good man in my book.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

More distasteful jokes, not as funny as the first batch, but still good.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Re: Michael Jackson is dead
So in your book you are guilty even when you are proven innocent? They say that there's no smoke where there's no fire, but, he was an extremely easy target. I'm not sure it wasn't just people trying to make money off of him. Anyone can be accused of such things, I sincerely hope that nobody ever accuses you of something like that, how would you defend your self against it?Lt.

Re: Michael Jackson is dead
I'm of Graham's mind. I'm sad he died... but it's almost a relief, considering what his life's been like.
Huge influence on music. They've been playing his videos on VH1 Classic all weekend. And I gotta tell you, he was amazingly talented.
