Look at how many people are publicly mourning Jackson and come to your own conclusions about how your sex-hating agenda is faring. Granted, some of those fans are in denial. Others probably don't give a damn any more than I do.

Michael Jackson was far from my favorite musician, although I liked the Jackson 5 and some of his period from about 1982-92. He was by general agreement a fantastic dancer, although I don't really go in for that sort of thing. But I never saw any reason to be terribly scandalized by the sex allegations, even if they were true. As I mentioned before, if he'd lived in a sexually liberated country like Spain there would've been no allegations because there would've been no underlying crime.

It just shows you that money drives the media. The vulture go where the money is.

Whats amazing is there was ONE topic started that was non loving Jackson in the Cleb forum that was deleted. Yet 8 topics still remain that show support to him, so I guess the mods don't allow and opinion other than love Jackson on here.

A guy who slept in bed with children and did who knows what to them gets love and attention, where a women who fought cancer gets over shadowed. Got to love the priorities in this country. Sad some mods on here are such b**ches to fold to the MJ fans to not allow any out side opinion.

I think it's sad and that they both deserve equal media attention.

The media love the dying drug addicts........Go figure.....

Do you think anyone wants a media circus?
Exactly! I think Michael Jackson's loved ones have it the hardest dealing both with his unexpected death and the media hoopla.

I have taken real exception to how this all went down, also.
For your information,Farrah was no angel in that she was shacking with someone she wasn't married to.That's immoral 101.She can't tell nobody anything,providing that account was even a possibilty.

Yeah your religious beliefs have a lot to do with anything. Not.
You follow your morality 101 quite well with the "Judge not lest ye be judged" meme.
Not everyone is a christer, luckily not every christer is like you.

She can't say anything at all.
She's dead.

My religious beliefs don't revolve around tickling peoples ears.The Bible spells out what is right and and what is wrong.I don't care what everyone is.Yes,the Bible is for true Christians to follow-but those not following it will have to answer to God.And really there won't be any excuse warranted.You know if you're righteous spiritually or not now.

I know the dead is conscious of nothing anyhow.They can't hear,talk or WISH anything.
MJ and FF both are equal in that regards.They both paid the ultimate sacrifice for theirs sins-death.And for your information,death is an enemy-not a gift(as life is).

Preaching and teaching has nothing to do with judging.Judgement day hasn't got here yet.So fortunately,you still have time to educate yourself.

They were both pop celebrities. Michael Jackson was big in the pop music world, the people who follow the fads went for him but there were better musicians (and actresses).
