Michael Jackson RIP

[Koa]

Okay he turned weird.. weird as shit.. but keep in mind he wasn't proven guilty to warrant the garbage "child molester" rips some of you are throwing his way.

I'll go ahead and remember him as the man behind the greatest pop album ever!

RIP K.O.P.

Yeah, and OJ didn't do it either. Whatever.

It isn't a choice anybody would make.

I know the point you're trying to make, but he could have made the choice not to do it.

As i said BEFORE somebody deleated what i said....he didn't have a choice.

Still waiting for a answer.

I don't mind bullsmack being deleted, but when legit comments start being deleted, it makes me a little irritated.

So??? Still seeking a answer.

I will post it again, and you can delete it again....and I will keep posting it until you kick me off this friggen board...He was just a messed up kid.

If a person can be born with homosexual traits, a person can be born a pedophile. I don't think one wakes up one morning and decides to have sex with a child. It is simply a sexual deviation some people have.

Unfortunately for them and their victims, it just doesn't work in any form of society since their sexual attraction is with people far to young to have any concept of what is happening.

Please note...I am not comparing homosexuality to pedophilia other than it is a predisposition that I don't think people have much choice in what sexually attracts and arouses them.

They need to be removed from society, no doubt, but you shouldn't hate them. They didn't ask for that when they came in to this world. For the vast majority, I don't think it is any sort of choice at all. It's just a crossing of what we consider normal wires.

Human sexuality is a strange thing at times.

you sure on this one?

I would feel much better and go to sleep better knowing Pedophiles are put to death on a regular basis.

We may be born one way but to make an evil decision to touch a kid and then follow thru with it is worthy of painful death.

You can never be a kid again when that sh i t happens. Kill them all. On a different note, i don't beleive he was ever convicted though.

I am positive.

I am not sticking up for it, but IMHO, for the vast majority, i don't think it is a choice at all.

As I said, I hope the guy finds peace. I don't think he had much of it in this life.

Really man....would you be content with your life if you had a eye for 12 year old boys??

Serious question....no smack or insult intended.

[Furnier]

I'm still in shock. No matter what he was in his personal life, MJ was a star from the minute he hit the stage way back in the Jackson 5 days. The guy knew how to work a stage and could write some damned good pop songs. I have a hunch this day for this generation will be comparable to August 16th, 1977 for the Elvis generation. Yeah, he was THAT big.

To act on it is unforgivable.

To forgive is something i would never want to be faced with.

Pedophiles who act on their deviant and evil ways deserve the wrath they shall receive, here or elsewhere. Forgiven or unforgiven.

[ballpeen]

Being the forgiver is the hard one, but it is the position of power. Anybody can condemn a person to death. Not many can forgive them.

[Kosar_For_President]

It is so shocking. Never really liked the dude, was a talent though. And yes I have to admit I used to do the Moonwalk all the time when I was 5.

Let's not look past on how a guy in good condition (besides his face) died this young. The amount of surgeries on himself, I am sure he was addicted to pain pills which I am sure contributed to his death. No?

I can't remember a time when a death was so shocking. This might date me, but one of my first memories was John Lennon's death. I remember my dad yelling "noooooooooo" when I was 4. Just stands out in my memory.

Like i said i would never want to be in that position. I also stated that i didn't think they ever convicted the guy either. But i loved that song about food, you know the 'I'm Fat' song

They didn't.

I was never a fan of the guy, so, I obviously know several tunes when they come on....Thriller....Billy Jean......a few of the Jackson 5 tunes, but I couldn't start naming off more than a few songs.

I might have been one of the few hundred who never bought or borrowed one of his albums.

These are the people that believe everything in the media and implement it in their life.

[ballpeen]

it seems like it.

I graduated HS in 66, so I was just after some pretty crazy times...

I think each generation faces it's end of of the world moment....be it King Arthur times or President Obama times.
