We could get into an ugly debate here about the many scandals surrounding his life, but let's not.

Just remember one thing, settling out of court doesn't mean you are guilty of anything. It means that legal fees are outrageously expensive and you're trying to cut your loses because defending your good name could ruin you. I know that concept is easier to understand if you ever get sued or know someone who's getting sued. Not wishing that on anyone!

We don't really have any proof one way or the other about what MJ did or didn't do, so...

Can we instead try to remember the numerous gifts Michael Jackson left behind for all of us:

Thriller
Bad
Beat it
Rock my world...

There are so many I forget.

The MOONWALK? I mean... damn.. at the time, it was INCREDIBLE!!! Still is!

This one was a favorite of mine, long before Michael became so weird looking.

RIP, MJ, and thank you for all the hit songs

wow, someone somewhat agrees with me, ha,guess it's an honor!?

again, i will always remember him as an artist, a tremendous artist ever in the music biz and the entertainment world! other stuff, it was his personal life, media decided to reveal it, but i think we have the will and power to believe or not to believe...

his music, lives on..


PS, there were also SCream with his sister Janet, Smooth Criminal....etc

I loved his music in the 80's and still do. Regardless if he really was a Chimo, he made good tunes.

"He was an extremely weird man, who did very bizarre things." Agreed.

Myself, I've always found those who choose to be his staunch accusers with no proof, to be absolute assholes.

I don't have proof, therefore I don't know for a fact, therefore, I give him the benefit of the doubt. May he rest in peace.

Please allow me to reiterate and elaborate on the content previously stated by submet

1) The "man" engaged in surgical modification to the point of physical self destruction. This is clear and common knowledge.

2) The "man" was a drug addict. The substances of abuse were the most potent narcotics in the legal pharmacology. This is as stated by His own physician.

2) the "man" slept with other peoples children in his bed, as well as gave intoxicating liquour to children, by his own admission

3) The "man"was publicly accused on multiple occasions of child molestation. While this in and of itself is by no means in and of itself a conviction, the unusualness , the reptitiveness of these charges , combined with the fact that they were only dropped when his estate offered extremely large finacial settlements, and when taken in the context that his other behaviour surrounding these incidents is the textbook behaviour of a pedophile would suggest that the extremely strong probability that he is a pederest, perhaps not strongly enough to convict a person of wealth and stature in a criminal case, but almost certainly strong enough to stand up to the somewhat lower standards that it would take to win a civil suite.
He was pathetic, in the true sense of the word, and as such deserves a modicum of sympathy, but his predatory disregard of the well being of others has also been well demonstrated . He will continue to be the butt of my cold hearted jokes, just as you will continue to pathalogically defend him.

Sorry, hot dog, I am a college educated psychologist. You are a pathetic whiner who has a pathological need to defend a person who is in all reasonable probability a child molester. I assure I am am one of the least "sheepish" persons a silly creature such as your self is likely to come across. I am not looking any one aspect, but the configuration of the situation of a whole. You are grasping at straws, give it up.While I am a staunch defender of all consensual adult sexual variation, and also realise the oportunities for blackmail of those extreme wealth. THE MAN READS AS A TEXT BOOK EXAMPLE OF PEDOPHILIA! Get your degree then come talk to me chump.

Found that degree in a little old crackerbox called The University of North Carolina. Monsters should not die with dignity, people should urinate on their graves and make cruel cold jokes about them.
