M.J. WORKED for his money and did not only give 1 million to terminally ill children,,,he gave *400 million*. I bet if you were a parent of a suffering child that was directly effected by his monies you would have a different view. He was not only a 'contributor' he was also a founder.

He gave money.* A ton of money*. Never doted on what he was doing. He was eccentric and he probably saved quite a few lives with his generous 400 million. He was a lost soul with a huge heart.
---End Quote---'

These are admirable things which no one can deny. BUT...the greatest deciding factor for him and the rest of us, is, not what we did with our money , etc...but, if we took Gods free gift of total forgiveness for our many many committed Sins thru the substitionary death of Christ on the Cross . That is all that matters when our life draws to a close because that decides where we spend all of eternity. Its 'the wakeup call' that has to be dealt with BEFORE our heart gives out. Im glad ive dot that issue dealt with .

No I don't think the word "hero" would be the best to describe him in the least!

Forgive me, but the word HERO is way overused. Unless you are a cannibal who wants to enjoy an MJ Hero with lettuce, mayo and tomatoes, his is NOT a hero.

Funny, you go to most black or other minority forums, they love this guy to the point he is a hero, Amongst people from the other side of the fence (this site), it borders insult or refusal of aknowledgment. Why is that?

What, if anything, heroic deeds has he done?

AFAIC, he was nuttier than a pecan pie.

He was a gifted,talented and giving man but A Hero................I don't think so. A Hero is a soldier who fights for us all IMO.
