See, we're in agreement. :tu
I do wonder what will happen to his children. Whether time will forgive Michael and they'll do okay, or if time will bring even more accusations.
In my way of thinking, he went so far as to keep them anonymous to protect them from his legacy, rather than for them to benefit of it.

:tpd:
Well said. We were'nt there, we don't know. I tend to beleive that a lot of people were out to make a lot of money off of this man.

Re: How many Michael Jackson jokes have you heard?
 

Edit: Don't get me wrong; I've told many an MJ joke over the years, but I don't think that now is the time for them.

I also beleive that anyone who actually has done as many wierd and crazy things as MJ has been accused of would be locked up in an institution a long long time ago.

Re: How many Michael Jackson jokes have you heard?
 

I'm of the opinion that since I will never know the truth, nor will anyone I know, I don't judge.

I will, however, make fun of him all day and listen to his music all night.



That being said, I've gotten no less than 30 different jokes in the last few days, almost none of which were really very funny. There was one funny one about Farrah Fawcet and her dying wish though :)

this could get out of hand soon..

Re: How many Michael Jackson jokes have you heard?
 

I will then retract my post, I wouldn't want to cause flame wars over that which I see as an obvious truth and others choose to ignore. His music was instrumental in my childhood and I respect that immensely. I'll leave it at that

Re: How many Michael Jackson jokes have you heard?
 

It is amazing that every time someone dies, the slate seems to be wiped clean. His music ability and talent are without question, but do not fool yourself, the did molest children. Above and beyond the million dollar settlements, he admitted to having children in his bed with some BS explanation to as why. His saving grace was that the parents of these children were involved in the process to make money and IMHO should have also been charged and were interested in money and not convictions. IF you do not think he molested children then I suppose you would have him babysit overnight? No level of talent excuses what he did. BTW, OJ was found innocent too of killing his wife... is there ANY doubt he did it. There are books out there which show how absurd the verdict was and howw overpowering the evidence was, so verdicts and court proceeding need to be weighed in with some common sense.

Heard that one too not bad!!

Re: How many Michael Jackson jokes have you heard?
 

I'm an adult who happens to have my own opinion, which is he was a pedophile, how much compassion do you think he showed the parents of the children he traumatised.

Now may I draw some conclusions of your support of him?

Re: How many Michael Jackson jokes have you heard?
 

I think this one has run its course.

Re: How many Michael Jackson jokes have you heard?
 

I think many people underestimate court proceedings and laws that are aimed at protecting the innocene of a child. Considering you can get seven years for a single picture of child ****ograpy, or how light the burder of proof has to be to prove guilt in most cases, I am fairly certain he is innocent of child molestation. Creepy maybe but creepiness isnt outlawed. All seven of the charges of child molestation were found without merit. To those who say his '93 act of settling was suspiciious consider that in People v. Jackson it cost him at least twice as much

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_...e_Code_1108.29

His '93 accusations were brought up in People v. Jackson so if it were found that he was bribing him that would have been added to the charges which it wasnt, and the DA would have if he could sentenced him to death so why is that charge missing? The DA found it to be useless.

It really bothers me that media has created an enviorment in which slander is accepted at face value.

Also I have like five Michael Jackson jokes but each of them hundreds of times.

Re: How many Michael Jackson jokes have you heard?
 

In an attempt to bring some levity back to the topic in the OP:

I've heard a few jokes here and there. What surprised me was the speed of The Internet. This pictures was up mere hours after his death

He may be gone, but his music and his legacy remain.

Re: How many Michael Jackson jokes have you heard?
 

[quote=Scottw;443494]is the answer. I will not get drawn into a mindless debate over something that every know as fact. I guess I need to research the whole thing again. what was he accused of? :confused: I still dont pay attention to the news.
I will say the parents were money hungry POS
