Derek is right, he was acquitted. I was thinking about it, and I think he just wanted to be a child, seeing as he never experienced a normal childhood. That's just my .02</body>

      <body>Listen, yes he was amazingly talented and I can definitely respect his contributions to the world of music.

But as a person, he gets no respect from me. Just because he was acquitted means nothing. (O.J. Simpson anyone???) How many families did he pay off to keep them quiet? I remember more than one incident of that nature. A child knew the exact location of a birthmark/mole on his genitals. Explain that. We all know that celebs aren't treated the same as someone who isn't famous. Laws are bent, deals are made. It's not as though our judicial system is perfect anyway. He himself admitted to sleeping with children in his bed. I don't see how ANYONE can look at all the facts and not come to the conclusion that he was a sexual predator and that his prey of choice was children. He used his fame, money and power to shield his activities and to protect himself from the consequences of those activities.

Insisting that he only be remembered for the good is just as silly as insisting that he only be remembered for the bad in his life. 

All that aside, a person is dead. I do have respect for that.

      <body>Celebrity deaths always weird me out. Nobody gives a fuck about anyone who dies in the world except for their own relatives, their friends, or famous people. That's the truth. It's fucked up that we only care about MJ because of what he accomplished in his life. If he had been some stranger on the street, nobody would have given a shit. He isn't the only person that died today, but nobody cares about all the other deaths, because those people didn't sell albums or anything. Stop pretending like his death matters more than anyone else's.

I think the reason why people care about celebrity deaths is because we feel like we know a lot of celebrities. I mean, I didn't care that Farrah died. But that was because I didn't really know anything about her except that she had a "Farrah 'do." So in a sense, it is like a family member or a friend has died because so many people have formed a strong familiarity with him, his life, and his career. It's not that his death "matters" more than a random person on the steet; it just affects more people because more people knew about him.</body>

Death is a part of life, I agree, but so is grievance over death. Honestly I think more people are shocked than upset by the fact that he died. People aren't &lt;i&gt;supposed&lt;/i&gt; to die when they're only fifty; maybe a hundred years ago that was the norm, but now most people live to be in their seventies at least. No one was expecting the King of Pop to suddenly die without warning.

Also, it's not rude to acknowledge someone's death over the death of a stranger that you don't know died... it's no one's fault if they don't know about someone dying. My point is that I actually think it's rude of you to be telling people what they should and should not grieve over or acknowledge. Lots of people knew him, so lots of people are truly upset by it. The fact that people are grieving over the death of Michael Jackson is 100 percent unrelated to the deaths of any other person in the world, so they should be treated as separate entities rather than one versus the other.</body>

I can't help but think that is a little weird, that they are making money off his death like that.

He supported a lot of charities, was even in the guiness book of world records for supporting more chartities than any other entertainer. They should at least donate the money they make off that tee to one of his charities.... </body>

I agree with parts of this, i.e. the fact that there are people dying of starvation all over the world which is messed up, but I think as rough as it may sound the lament of peoples' deaths are judged pretty much entirely on their achievements - certainly in Western civilization anyway. So on that basis, 750 million album sales; a pioneer of music on the same level, if not higher than the likes of Presely, Hendrix and the ilk, the man will be missed on a wide scale, having accomplished more than your average unfortunate bum. At the end of the day, the guy was a talented musician, songwriter, and probably one of the all-time revolutionaries of dance - a title which he earned - therefore his accomplishments should reflect the extent to which he will be missed, in this instance, a lot. Soldiers who die in Iraq, giving their lives for a phoney war, yet for us all - regardless of how dumb or unfounded it is - is of equal tragedy, so you can argue to what extent one life should be missed when weighed against another in that scope. The fact is, people will remember Michael Jackson's name for years to come, and for most of us, we'll be lucky if our grand-children will remember us.. because after that we'll be confined to the history books and family tree, whereas Michael Jackson will be remembered for centuries to come.

I'm really sad he's gone, the man changed Western music forever, and I remember dancing to Smooth Criminal and singing 'Eddie are you ok?!' in front of the TV on Top of The Pops every Friday for weeks on end aged 4. Sad times. Everyone has their MJ Memories. I think now is a time to remember his accomplishments and the way he changed music rather than dwelling on the more unfortunate parts of his career. </body>

No one was expecting the King of Pop to suddenly die without warning.

Also, it's not rude to acknowledge someone's death over the death of a stranger that you don't know died... it's no one's fault if they don't know about someone dying. My point is that I actually think it's rude of you to be telling people what they should and should not grieve over or acknowledge. Lots of people knew him, so lots of people are truly upset by it. The fact that people are grieving over the death of Michael Jackson is 100 percent unrelated to the deaths of any other person in the world, so they should be treated as separate entities rather than one versus the other.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I like debating with you because you are respectful and educated and make valid, nonretarded points.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Thank you!</body>
