Just like I said on another board: Just because OJ killed his wife and her friend (Yeah yeah, he did it) doesn't mean he was any less great of a football player.

Just because Michael may or may not have touched some kids, doesn't mean he wasn't a kick ass entertainer.

The dude's dead. He's paid the ultimate price (Karma?) for his alleged wrongdoings.

People should respect MJ as a musician. As a person... Well that's always up for debate.

I don't think anyone gets a free ride in that department. Right or wrong, it's a package deal with regard to what you have done + -

I respect his talent but there are a few things I cannot forgive and that harming children and murder.

you would think that as a parent no amount of money could be paid that would keep you quiet if your child was molested. the kids certainly arent to blame but their parents sure are.

Well said...

Off The Wall was a really great album. Probably the best record made in that era. Right up there with Pet Sounds, Revolver, Nevermind, etc. Having said that, Michael was also an homosexual pedophile. He was also apparently deeply addicted to the poppy opiates. Given these facts, living to the age of 50 is a minor miracle.

Those damn gays are ruining the world, huh (sorry, but you're not gonna live that one down for a while)?

I agree that his painkiller addiction was a horrid thing, but apparently he was otherwise in very good health, to the surprise of doctors.

Those damn gays at it again. I guess it's good he died young so he didn't have the chance to destroy the world even more.

Whether he was guilty or not the dude was a freak,big time. But,anybody that gets that famous probably has no chance of not becoming a freak,just a sad story.
He's probably out of his misery now,he wasnt just the worlds most famous person,he was known as the worlds most famous child molester,I would not want to live like that
R.I.P. MJ
hope your children can grow up normal,but I dont see how

Unfortunately, I don't have online access to anything other than this old GQ article

Was Michael Jackson Framed?

There's a story circulating today that the kid admitted he lied (but the validity is not confirmed, so not worth posting). I've also heard claims from pretty legit sources that the identification of Jackson's body parts was information that was fed to the kid by other adults who-and I don't know why they had those details-were promised a cut of the millions the father was determined to get out of Jackson. But again, I get why that may not hold much water, if any, to those who really believe he molested children.

I think he was a) without question, a mega-talented performer; the single biggest star of my lifetime to date, and b) so completely out of touch with reality from the start that I can't even grasp it. I think, in many way, he's at fault. If you read some of the biographies on him, you'll find that some of the crazy tabloid rumors about him were started by Jackson himself to keep the publicity going. And it's like if you're gonna get upset when the media says shit about you, don't help them out as well. And, I think, he did things that any normal person would know just isn't appropriate, not illegal but inappropriate.

But, then, a lot also comes down to how do you define molestation. Some would argue that showering the child with gifts and then telling him he could stay the night plays on the child's emotions and ultimately is a form of molestation. Honestly, I can see that point and I won't argue it.

As for his sexuality, yeah he probably was at least bi, and probably more gay than straight. So what? That that should have led to an earlier death for him is a pretty ridiculous thing to say.

(You know, there are gay Redskins too)

Was OJ one of the best RB's of all time...absolutely. But it's very rare to hear him in such a discussion. And IMO, what Jackson did was worse! You don't molest little kids...I can somewhat "comprehend" getting amazingly jealous and killing your ex wife out of jealousy and rage (note that I certainly do not agree with it, just it can be comprehended), but I can not under any circumstances what-so-ever comprehend molesting innocent little children. Why people believe his innocence is beyond me...he lied to us several times over his life most notably the comments that he never had plastic surgery. HAHAHA...he didn't even care that the lie was so blatent that everyone would laugh their asses off. He was a great entertainer, and I'll certainly give him credit for that, but it's a shame such great talent was stuffed into such a crazy person.

You can "somewhat comprehend" slicing two necks? WTF???? So let me get this straight. A man who shows his penis to a child is worse than man over stabbing two peoples necks to the point where they were over killed?? OJ's wife's head was almost cut off. Goldman was stabbed over 30 times. Sorry but OJ is a hell of a lot worse than MJ will ever be. Let's not forget all the good that MJ did for children. Even if MJ was guilty he didn't end someones like in a brutal way. On top of that people were paid off with millions and millions of dollars.

Q. Why did Michael Jackson call Boys II Men?
A. He thought it was a home delivery service

Almost time to end this thread I see.
