What do you guys think of his very sad memorial? It summed his life up well . . . there was a lot of celebrity appearances. I think Brooke Shields did the best job of "humanizing" Micheal. Here is a link to watch the full memorial. . . .

He was a great singer and all, but that's all he was. I think everyone should just get over it.

IPwn . . . if you watch even some of the memorial, you would realize that he was much more than just a singer/performer. Have some respect . . . he was much more than that to a [/b]lot[b] of people.

And Tennisman, I know! It was amazing! I didn't know how many people actually liked Micheal. . .

It's not that I don't respect the fact that he died and lived a meaningful life, I just don't think it should be that big of a deal. I wonder how the families of the kid he molested feel about his glorification.

Exactly Kirby! His family only wanted to get payed off. Plus this post is supposed to be about his memorial . . . not what he did in life.

I personally don't mourn child molesters. I skipped out on this one.

TheListMan . . . he was proven innocent in a court of law! Haven't you read what me and Kirby said? The family just wanted money!

OJ was also proven innocent. The justice system is not always correct.

whether mj did or did not molest chidren is irrelevant to this discussion.
his death is a tragic fact, as are the death of millions of people around the world every day. i dont understand how so many people can get so obsessed with a musician that his death is like an lifechanging event for them.
i think this is again one of the mass effects, where the media try to make a huge think out of the tragic death of a vip.

if you guys want mj to RIP than you should leave him and his family some space, and not exploit his death to make a big media show out of it. i really dont want to know how much money was earned by tv networks etc. on that evening

i never said anything about the topic of mj molesting children or not.
and as we agreed beforehand, the discussion here was supposed to be about the memorial and not events from his life.

so i think you should chill and get your temper under control, because using your caps lock excessively and insulting people is not a really constructive way of discussing any topic

yes you did say that a lot of times. i dont really think that by reapeting a point in bold letters it will make it more convincing.

sorry if i got the intention of your post wrong. i just was not so familiar with the abbreviation and a word you used.
