I think they were offended by the 'i dont care how many kids he raped' statement, but i do doubt he meant he doesn't actually care, i hope he meant 'regardless of how many'..dont u ? and your point was well made, by the way

Those people are not a genius/highly intelligent. The Great Man of History Theory is pretty much debunked. Read Kershaw's Hitler.
A person's quality is measured by his soul. People who do evil things are ultimately evil people. Was Michael Jackson evil? Maybe not, I have no idea, but he was twisted.

But I think that even if he was, his talent and art can still be respected.
I think it is pretty clear that Richard Wagner was not a good man based on his view of Jews, but I still have "Ride of the Valkyries" on my iPhone. Does that make me evil?

I really don't have a problem. I've never purchased any Micheal Jackson material, nor have I obtained any of it by other means. I'm absolutely thrilled that this monster is dead and that he can no longer hurt a child.

Yes. I got that impression from the other 5 times you posted about the same thing.

And some people don't care how many hit songs he had, MJ was someone who acted like a pedophile.

i finally found a use for michael jackson in his life, as i convinced my 9 year old nephew that michael jackson's transmorphafication into a greyish skelefied eunuch over the years came from the excessive amount of candy and soda he always ate.

But really, what's wrong with parents who let their kids sleep over at Wacko's residence? Even if he never did any of these heinous acts, the rumours alone should have been enough for parents to keep their kids miles away from Jackson.

I dunno look at the kid in 2003-2005 trial. He went through 2 years of hell, (can you imagine being grilled by police, investigators, lawyers, then going on the stand, and all the media as a 13 year old) only to have him not guilty. Thats got to be really hard on him, I could see why someone wouldnt want to put their child through all that. Either road you go down isnt going to change what happened to the kid.

Yeah, but 20 million dollars can't take away what happened either. And I'd imagine that if he was found guilty, they could have/would have sued him in civil court afterwards anyways, probably for more than 20 million. I am just not a big fan of criminals being able to buy their way out of trouble. If this was just some street bum worth nothing, he would be going to trial. Financial wealth shouldn't get one out of being tried.

Awesome.
The more times it is repeated, the more uncomfortable the Michael Jackson defenders become.

Agreed. Forget the silly post-death worship, the guy was a creep.
