Michael Jackson's Death

[Nixt]

Feel free to continue the discussion here. This time without arguments ;-)!

RIP.

[FlyingJesus]

I think it's all Macaulay Culkin's fault tbh, he was messing with some black magic. You seen the Aviva advert with him on right where he's like "REMEMBER ME", well clearly this news has made people talk about him again

[Hazza]

My last point from the last thread;
How many more people are dying right now in this world? Where is the sympathy for them people - there is none. Some people need to get a grip.

[Abbie.]

bet someone with no respect thinking they're funny posts a joke anway!

anyway RIP! x

[Mrs.McCall]

Very sad, despite it all there are 3 kids without a father

[Pyroka]

The only people that are arguing are probably the people who bought his concert tickets, lol ul.

Its sad, it really is and I'm genuinely sorry for his family, however the guy has went through so much in his life, he's done controversial things and has brought up his children in a strange way.. BUT, his contribution to the music world can't and won't be forgotten.

I'm just looking forward to the amount of people trying to remix Michael Jackson's songs now, gosh they'll all be cashing in like vultures. ;o

Oh crap, yeah also 3 kids without a dad is quite sad... forgot about that one. >_>

[Blinger1]

I swear that was one of the largest threads made in about 2 hours!!

[Frank459]

Well can we keep those damn sick jokes outta this thread then?

Condolences to his family, obviously an immediate shock to them.

[GommeInc]

... Why did the other one get closed?! Was a pointless close, the majority of members weren't arguing or making jokes :S The other one should be re-opened due to gross mis-use of closing ability and lack of judgement :S

[dirrty]

i think i can easily say the whole world is in shock at his death. and such a pity that his comeback tour was only a few weeks away...

[Kardan]

My last point from the last thread;
How many more people are dying right now in this world? Where is the sympathy for them people - there is none. Some people need to get a grip.

Michael Jackson has inspired millions upon millions of people and is a worldwide icon and legend.

A baby that has died shortly after birth has not. Yes, they are still a person and their death will bring much sadness and sorrow to their loved ones - but Michael Jackson's death has a much larger effect on the worldwide community.

[Hazza]

Very sad, despite it all there are 3 kids without a father
Your one of the people who need to get a grip to be honest - His kids may not have a father now, but how many children in this world are losing/lost a father or mother already. They arent' special :S:S

And Kardan who cares? Anyone that dies deserves sympathy - all I'm saying is he's not the only person who's died tonight - Who's more important your a relative or Michael Jackson? I'm sure a relative hasn't had that impact on the world and you'll miss them more/be more sympathetic if she died?

[Blinger1]

My last point from the last thread;

He is a celebrity, the paparazzi followed him everywhere.. its like any other celebrity.

Not many people care if just a random person dies, its on the tv for maybe 20 seconds? Or there is a short article in a newspaper, thats about it.. its how humans operate!

[Kieeran]

Well can we keep those damn sick jokes outta this thread then?

Condolences to his family, obviously an immediate shock to them.

dw i made a thread for them so u dont cry


neway yeah its a shame for his family mustve been a shock and heartly i agree with u entirely

[Wolves]

RIP Jacko, very sad, absolute legend.

RIP.

[FlyingJesus]

To be fair, there isn't a lot to be said on this matter. Fans can say "RIP" and then be done because that's all they really have to say, but people making jokes can keep coming up with them and therefore actually have more reason to post. Doesn't make sense for people to post the same message of condolences 10 times

[Kardan]

Who cares? Look all over Twitter, the news, forums - you'll see that millions of people care.

Of course I'd be more upset when a relative of mine dies, but I never used that in my example. I said if a random person that none of us knows die, of course you'll extend your sympathies to their loved ones but you probably won't think twice about it and your life will carry on as normal.

[Jack.Lfc]

R.i.p died on my birthday, well done.

[Kieeran]

so true. which is why i made the joke thread

[Hazza]

All I'm saying is, yeah blahblah his a celebrity, he's this, he's that. But please - You've got to remember he's not the only one... :rolleyes:

[GommeInc]

What an odd comment :S So it's either someone you don't know or a relative? What about people you don't personally know physically, that have contributed in some aspect of your life? Some people do get attached to people, musicians especially like Elvis for example. Are they not allowed to mourn someone they cared about, through their talent alone? I'd be upset if Cliff Richard died, because one of his songs was played at my dad's funeral. Some people listen to Jackson's music through the good and bad times, as he is gone, those good and bad times that have had an effect on you will have the same effect, but the person who made that slightly possible won't exist...

It's like if a doctor who helped you when you were ill passed away, you would feel some sort of sadness because he/she helped you out... Unless you're not human? :rolleyes:

[Kardan]

All I'm saying is, yeah blahblah his a celebrity, he's this, he's that. But please - You've got to remember he's not the only one... :rolleyes:

We know he's not the only one, but nobody has the ability to think about everyone that has passed away each day.

[Hazza]

Did I say they did - no? I just said he's not the only one, and you've got to remember many many people die each day...

[Pyroka]

Is South Park still on? Or are they making a new series now? Because I'm sure an episode on Michael Jackson's death would be nothing short of ******* hilarious.

Oh and people, turn up the calm dial on your minds, you're all going crazy and arguing eachother. You all just gotta get along, he's dead, stop moaning at people who can get to grips with that quicker than you.

[-:Undertaker:-]

This argument comes up all the time about publicity - why do famous people get more publicity? - BECAUSE THEY ARE FAMOUS.

[Titch]

I brought 2 tickets yet i am not arguing ;)

i dont even want a refund, give the money to a charity or to the family.

[Wolves]

Stop ****** arguing you ****, every person who dies deserves sympathy, whether you like them or not, that's the bottom line, now stop with the bickering for christs sake.

And if i get infracted for putting people on the straight and narrow on this occasion then this forum is pathetic.

Stop arguing.

[GommeInc]

Yeah, but if Michael Jackson and his songs had some effect on your, you would be sad. Duh, why can't you undertstand that? If one of songs were played at a funeral, or if his songs were played during a fun gig or something, you would feel sad or at least some what interested in this turn of events. A nobody you know nothing about is a nobody. A "nobody" which you know something about has one up on them.

I feel say by it, but I'm not crying, it happens to everyone sometime, he's not the only one. Simple as.

Threads and forums revolve around conflicting opinions e.g. arguments. It's only the daft who think arguments of any kind are evil and should be banned - arguments are things that involve swearing and don't involve swearing. The word argument revolves around putting across facts and opinions, arguing could mean twopeople putting having the same opinion. It's one thing people forget, and immediately assume arguments are things where swearing is involved.

But I digress. He will be missed. Glastonbury looks and sounds as though it will be effected quite badly.

an argument is an argument no need to go into detail.

of course arguments contain swearing, unless it's two gay boy panzis arguing.

[Jack.Lfc]

I dont get why people are so upset, yes its sad that someone died, but only his family should get upset and friends that knew him. You may call me incosiderate, but its true.

[GommeInc]

Not all arguments contain swearing?! Arguments are conflicting facts and opinions, we're arguing now! Do you see swearing? No... There are swearing arguments, and mature, calm arguments like what most people have been having in this thread (until you came around with your swearing and stars and mucked it all up :P)

One of them did, called Jade Goody. He said he'd attend her funeral but he didn't.

I guess this is a way of saying "**** you!" for Jade Goody.

Just learnt that Michael Jackson had so much cosmic surgery to his face because he didn't want to look like his father, who physically abused him and made him watch him abuse other women/men/whatever can't fully remember, pretty sad, explains why he had so many operations though, it's understandable when you look at it like that.

LMAO THEY JUST SAID THEYVE GOT A STILL PICTURE OF HIM DEAD, I SENT THAT IN YOUR MUTHA ****AS MENTION MY NAME:@

[GommeInc]

Of course not, he would not of known about them and they would of have a legacy - his music touched some people in so many ways, and that touchy feeliness would have some effect on some people. It's all memories and shizzle.

that's what i thought (not racially intended) but obviously not, it was because he didn't want took look like his father because he was not a nice man.

So his father was black and not a nice man... *giggle*

Really though, I did think it was because he wanted to be like the rest of the world as black people were the minority and he just wanted to be looked as part of the majority.

He changed his skin colour because he had a rare skin condition where his skin was turning white? so he got bleached

Doubt his kids know yet.

[FlyingJesus]

Yeah family always find out after the rest of the world

[Swearwolf]

I heard about the news and me and a friend were just DJing in a local bar. I'm upset to the point of tears and we played his classics as the bar closed.

[DJ-James911]

Its very sad but I think his kids would know by now. Nearly everyone on the world knows about it now. My local radio station is doing countdowns of MJ and the film Moonwalker (I think thats what its called) is on tele tonight.

thats pathetic, ok do a tribute act but being upset to point of tears is stupid

Some people are huge fans of him and have grown up listening to his music and watching him grow, its a pretty big thing to turn on the tele and hear this news if you are one of those people. You must think that millions of people around the world are stupid because there are alot of tears.

To everyone throwing under the table insults here please leave this thread. A man has died here and you all are being so disrepectful. Espesically a few older members of the forum -.-''
Well what can I say, I went to bed at 9pm and woke at 5am, found out he died. He'll be missed, I know I wont miss him that much but he contributed a whole lot to the musical industry and Im sure underneath he was a nice man. RIP

[DJ-James911]

Good words :)

[Wahey]

Never a fan of the man and his music, but shame he died
R.I.P

[Antallica]

such a shame.
legend.
rip.
edit;
i think its so sick for some people on this forum to be calling him. A succesful legend of the music industry and the world has just passed away.

[Tintinnabulate]

Your one of the people who need to get a grip to be honest - His kids may not have a father now, but how many children in this world are losing/lost a father or mother already. They arent' special :S:S

And Kardan who cares? Anyone that dies deserves sympathy - all I'm saying is he's not the only person who's died tonight - Who's more important your a relative or Michael Jackson? I'm sure a relative hasn't had that impact on the world and you'll miss them more/be more sympathetic if she died?

I havent seen the old thread but looking at your last two posts, I think you are insane.
Yes, everyone who dies deserves sympathy. But theres a huge thing about Michael Jackson as he was famous world wide with millions of fans. For those fans, he was their hero, so basically millions of people's hero just died, hence there is a big deal about it.

Yes, people die every minute and people do sympathize for them ... their loved ones. People do feel sorry for them, but if they didnt know the person they wont be as saddened by it.
Michael had a big affect on alot of people hence its on the news.

@ anyone posting jokes about a dead person, you are absolutely sick.
Oh, I am sure you will love it if one of your family members died and people started posting jokes, edited images about them.

THINK BEFORE YOU ACT.

You're right, you guys don't even know him and he could be a totally different person off camera and you'd still love him, you don't even know him and can't care for him just by liking his music.

Tune in now for my Michael Jackson tribute show on HabboxLive
what the **** :S

Some people are huge fans of him and have grown up listening to his music and watching him grow, its a pretty big thing to turn on the tele and hear this news if you are one of those people. You must think that millions of people around the world are stupid because there are alot of tears.
I grew up hearing he was a ****, could've just been bad publicity but whatever

To everyone throwing under the table insults here please leave this thread. A man has died here and you all are being so disrepectful. Espesically a few older members of the forum -.-''
Well what can I say, I went to bed at 9pm and woke at 5am, found out he died. He'll be missed, I know I wont miss him that much but he contributed a whole lot to the musical industry and Im sure underneath he was a nice man. RIP
WHAT LOL. How come, someone famous dies and everyone is expected to care? Yet someone makes a thread about their own family and they get shouted at because we don't know them? OH cause he's famous:rolleyes: anyway whatever Michael Jackson has asked for his ashes to be scattered in a sand pit so children can play with him forever. Oopz, bite me.

wow, why are so many defensive? not everyone likes him, get over it.

Not everyone is expected to care, but people on this forum need to stop disrespecting people who do care. It is ridiculous and they should be ashamed of themselves.

People who are bashing MJ wont like it if one of their family members died and people start laughing will they?

For some of his fans, he was their hero and they looked upto him.

Anyway, RIP.

[Lost_Addict]

Ya best not there is a lot of chilidhs acts in this thread -.- if you go on this thread its just to say R.I.P what is the point of coming on here just to piss people off?

I liked MJ's music only reason i pay my respects as he was talented of cource thousands of people die each day and it is very sad but he is / was one of the most famous people on the earth at that current time hence why it was such a big deal. it wouldbe the same if david becham, the queen or even obama died. It's just the way the world works so theres nothing we can do about it in my opinion it should be announced of his death then up to his family what they wont to do from there.

But he was a global icon and one of the most inspirational artists in music along with elvis and the beetles. so please just post if your paying your respects. if you want to make a thread about everyone dying in the world please feel free as im sure everyone wouldhave a convo there just not here.

wow that was a rant .....

[le harry]

I'm assuming a majority of people here just think "oh michael jackson lmao pedophile no big deal blah ******* blah who cares". You have to respect his contribution to the music industry. What he's done is ******* amazing. His music is real and his child-related charges were alleged. Why do people have to think about the negatives. Heartly, I'm sure if your hero or influence died you'd be pretty upset about it. It's the same with others. Can't really think of anybody since Princess Diana who has died with the amount of influece he's had.

[Lost_Addict]

and your proof robo?

[drama]

Your one of the people who need to get a grip to be honest - His kids may not have a father now, but how many children in this world are losing/lost a father or mother already. They arent' special :S:S

And Kardan who cares? Anyone that dies deserves sympathy - all I'm saying is he's not the only person who's died tonight - Who's more important your a relative or Michael Jackson? I'm sure a relative hasn't had that impact on the world and you'll miss them more/be more sympathetic if she died?
so you woudn't be offended if somone close to you (relatives/friend) died and everyone was like: oh well nothing special millions of people die every day?

obviously i'm not a relative or friend of MJ, but that arguement of 'millions of people are dying' is so very, very flawed.

Is it wrong for me to think "I don't care if he was a pedophile or not"? He seemed like a troubled man anyway, and what really should be looked at are the contributions he made as a song writer and an entertainer - it seems he was quite a decent person behind all these stories. Some people are just focusing on the pedophile stories, because they really have nothing better to be interested in -.-

His music was amazing and he was talented, however I still think he did something with those kids - hence the massive payoff one of them got. You don't pay someone off if you haven't done anything, given his Neverland ranch, 'Jesus Juice' and so on, I think he was guilty i'm afraid.

However since he wasn't proved guilty I can't really hold it against him, and I still love his music.

are you a total noob? or is that just the vibe i'm getting?? it's already been said thousands of times in these numerous Jackson threads that he bleached his skin because he didn't want to look like his dad - who physically and some say sexually abused him, he also made Michael Jackson watch him abuse other women. Would you really want to look like your dad, after he'd done things like that to you? I don't think so.

Also;
Pays a girl for kids

If he was guilty, he'd still get sent down EVEN if he paid them off, just because he paid someone off doesn't mean he can't still get sent down, maybe he paid them off because he felt sorry for all the media coverage that the child and the family got? we will never know, but I doubt he did anything with those children, as he would have gone down for it, in 2005 and 1995. (whenever his other child abuse case was) And If you meant paid a women for kids then you're wrong because that would also be against the law, not in which the way you 'described'.

[-:Undertaker:-]

The legal implications of the pay off mean that they cannot speak out, it is all legally sorted out by lawyers and so on, otherwise they could easily of accepted the money and then gone to the police. He gives them money so they dont speak about it - sorted. The Dad argument, maybe his Dad was a little strict but I think its overblown, his father called him big nose - so what? - does that mean he had to disfigure his face, have sleepovers with children which raised interesting questions and generally act in a strange way?

I am a fan of his music, but I don't think there is really an excuse for his behaviour, child abuse or not, he still was very strange.

[Lost_Addict]

also his dad disallowed MJ a childhood forcing him to practice non stop. hence why he built never land

I NEVER said that he paid KIDS for babies. He paid a WOMAN (fully grown) for kids. Explain how his kids were never 100% white or black? Hmm strange :l

If my dad sexually abused me I wouldn't go and bleach my skin, or jump in mud. Only a VERY STRANGE freak would do that.

And we already know we don't get along Wolves, but honestly 'noob', you think that gets around forum rules?

The settlement did NOT prevent the boy from testifying in the criminal trial. It makes no sense to say that Michael bought his silence. It was Jordan's own decision not to testify.

If Michael wanted to pay off his accuser, why didn't he do it at the very beginning? Evan Chandler made a demand for $20 million before authorities knew about the alleged abuse. If Michael wanted to buy their silence, like many people claim he did, why didn't he do it right then? Before the police trashed his home, before he was publicly humiliated, before he was subjected to a dehumanizing search of his private parts? He could have bought their silence right from the get go and avoided the whole ordeal. Instead he rejected Evan Chandler's initial demand for money. Why would a guilty man do that?

Perhaps a more telling question is why would you accept money from someone who allegedly molested your child instead of fighting to put them behind bars?

[Plank]

I think the whole debate about whether he was a peado or not is completely pointless and will lead no where. No one can prove he was one, and no one can prove he wasn't.

Settlements negociated with money like that do require silence, otherwise it would of gone to court. This is the man who says its perfectly fine to sleep in the same room as children who are no related to him, a man who had sleepovers with little children and seemed to lose interest when they reached puberty and a man who allegedly gave kid/s 'jesus' juice which was alcohol.

Maybe because they were shallow and would rather take the money/needed the money? - You'd have to ask the family, but in court cases over the years pay offs have existed.

Either he was mentally out of his mind, was a child abuser, or was both. We can't prove/disprove either side, but whatever the truth was he remains to be seen a very, very, very strange man.

How do you possibly know what you'd do if your dad sexually abused you? You've never been in that position so couldn't possibly comment or make an informed judgement on Michael Jackson's behaviour or mental wellbeing.

I'd imagine that it's horrendous and that all victims react very differently, and each way is unique, hence Michael Jackson's behaviour.

His music and dancing was amazing i must admit, just watching some of them tribute shows now.

are you a total noob? or is that just the vibe i'm getting?? it's already been said thousands of times in these numerous Jackson threads that he bleached his skin because he didn't want to look like his dad - who physically and some say sexually abused him, he also made Michael Jackson watch him abuse other women. Would you really want to look like your dad, after he'd done things like that to you? I don't think so.

While I understand that child abuse can be scarring, you're making it sound like bleaching your skin is a valid response :S I think that's still a sign of some disturbance.

Additionally, just because someone was mistreated as a child does not make their adult life ok. Many serial killers had abusive fathers, should they be let off to play in green pastures under government supervision? No, they're put in a rubber room.


If he was guilty, he'd still get sent down EVEN if he paid them off, just because he paid someone off doesn't mean he can't still get sent down, maybe he paid them off because he felt sorry for all the media coverage that the child and the family got? we will never know, but I doubt he did anything with those children, as he would have gone down for it, in 2005 and 1995. (whenever his other child abuse case was) And If you meant paid a women for kids then you're wrong because that would also be against the law, not in which the way you 'described'.

Not necessarily true, the contents of that agreement will never be known, and that settlement could have necessitated silence and no pressing charges. I would suppose that it also included a confidentiality clause as settlements like that typically do, so we will never know for certain if that was the case, but saying that it could have still gone to court isn't a certainty too, and its VERY probably that it contained confidentiality clauses as well as a clause that said this could not go to court.

Does that even ensure MJ's guilt? Maybe. Maybe not. We'll never known, but saying definitively either way is a mistake. In the end, its your opinion, and I doubt anyone will ever be proved right.

The impression I get from the Jackson family is that they trained hard because they wanted it, at the end of the day the kids loved it and Michael Jackson loved dancing and performing, if Joe Jackson was at fault then it was trying to hard to make his kids achieve and helping them do what they loved doing, singing.

To blame it on Joe Jackson is dodging the issue of Michael Jackson himself.

I feel a tiny bit sad because he was seen as such a legend to the world for so many years but like somebody else said, people die all the time, none of which impact my life and MJ was another one of those people.

Its a shame, no one should deserve to die
