So if Madonna killed a dozen of people, we wouldn't have to punish her, eh?Amaurus said:
I really, really think you should stop... putting "only a rapist" and "he has number one hits" is just plain ignorant.
Who cares what he did? Even if he had cured cancer, being a rapist, and even worse a child abuser won't be absolved by anything.
i think its better this way...
i'm not sure if i should care or not (i have my reasons)..
am i the only one worried about his child? when that kid grows up he's going to go though hell (or might not..depends on the press) everyone has there right to a point of view on this....

I think you posted some incredibly biased opinions as fact. Really though I don't want to get into an argument over it. I think that he was horribly exploited and the abuse claims against him were pretty groundless.Uncompetative said:
I thought the length of your post was way ott and that you may have pasted it from elsewhere, perhaps I am wrong and should not have reported it.
I know that a lot of the media will just want to make money off the affair though many journalists are likely truly saddened.
I'm not particularly irritated, I think it's important that they report it I just don't appreciate this idea that we should all be mourning. It is sad that he died, I used to try and learn his dance moves as a kid and wanted to change my name to Michael. He was a hero of mine so I am sad he died and I have great sympathy for him and his family.
Yeah, his children will probably have a hard time being "Michael Jackson's kids".sorry user name taken. said:
I disliked Jade Goody; she was a racist and had a terrible personality. Michael Jackson on the other hand, has done a huge amount for the music industry.thisnameistaken2 said:ooh man, this is going to go the way of jade goody i know it,

I really hope the media leave them alone, sadly I worry that they won't, and that in a few years they'll be writting about their every waking move.sorry user name taken. said:
Holy crap this is crazy. Not him dying but the media's reaction to it. 2 days of wall to wall coverage meanwhile you are in the middle of a war. Got some wacky dude with nukes planning to fire off missiles in your general direction. Another country is going through a civil war and this is the big news. Am I the only one offended by this? Especially since the last big thing he did was go bankrupt and hang his kid over a balconey.
Everyone needs to keep one thought in mind as they think about MJs passing-he made Thriller. To this day, that is still the best-selling album on the planet, and the mans career single-handedly revolutionized how an entire culture markets, purchases, and even looks at pop music. For that, Michael will always be remembered.
I don't care if he cares, but he could be smart enough to acknowledge that it is news. So what if he doesn't care? The world does, therefore it is news.Kogarian said:
Catherine the Great got to keep "the Great" as part of her name, despite all the rumors of horse-sexing (proven untrue, btw). I'm sure the King of Pop will be known first as the entertainer, and second for his personal life. Just relax - someone's undoubtedly sad to see him go, so let him go in peace for once. The monster is something we the people made of him, as much as he himself was susceptible to the acts he is accused of. History remembers the great, but doesn't forget the sleazy.
