Neither did MJ as far as we know. But how would they like to hear any gossip or accusations that have ever been said about you?? Or the fact you lied or stole or cheated, etc while they prepare to bury you.

Respecting a person when they die is really just common curtesy. People want to remmeber the good of the person who dies not the bad, because we all have bad.

My family will know the truth about me and will not pay any attention to rumors. I know two things for sure: Everyone dies and nobody lives a perfect life.

Orrrr...these parents saw a patsy and went for it. He trusted. he was such a child himself.

I do believe that a parent who thought that their child had been molested would have gone for the throat instead of the pocket book.
Would money make the pain of such a thing go away? Nope, especially if their had been no pain.

The dad of one of the money takers was taped bragging how he was going to get rich off Michael.

I'm still in shock that he's my age and he died.

I can't believe we arr still talking about Michael Jackson. Damn won't this thread go the way of it's subject and just die already.

And in the case that went to court, the boy was shown to be a liar and part of a shakedown

That boys whole fam damily was shown to be liars. It was about the money. One family got it...why not another try? These parents let these boys stay time after time again. Even the last one. His mom actually tried to blackmail Michael first.

If I had thought my child had been molested by him..it would have been "your going down mother #ucker!!" Be damned his money. But, that never happened...they wanted money.

It is sad that this man was put though hell because of his fame and fortune. He lived such a lonely life.

I can't wait to hear his own kids speak about him when the time comes. It may prove very interesting.

ThomasJb, aren't you the Christian guy from that bible thread? You say nobody lived a perfect life, but if you're a Christian you would know that's wrong, because Christian's accept Jesus lived the perfect life.

MJ had great music and he will be missed.

Ohh...I think that you're thinking about the other Thomas. He's usually in the Christian threads. I don't remember his full name.

I think I used to get them mixed up too

oh my apologies it's just that he sounded really religious lol

Most who know me don't accuse me of being a christian. The other Thomas has numbers following his name.

it wasn't an "accusation" being called a Christian isn't like being called a terrorist or sleaze bag. it was my observation, and i apologize for it's inaccuracy.

That would be a matter of opinion. Why so serious? I'm only joking around.

I have learned wayyyy too many facts about Michael Jacksons life I never wanted to learn on tv right now. I have it on my usual news channel,and of course thats all thats on.

O well..

Strange though, I dont have any sad feelings.

When Wilford Brimley, the "cocoon" actor, and star of "our house"

was ill, I was like.. "ohhhhhh, not Wilford Brimley!

Hm, no sadness. O well.

yay refunds for the fake tour are to be given!

Why do you call it fake? Did you have tickets for it?

it was fake coz he admitted he would not sing live but would mime! and NO i most certainly did not

What?! He was not going to sing at his concert?!
