No offense, but so be it. The world will give rise to another singer whose sound will become stereotypical of a decade thirty seconds before it is even conceived. It's sad to see another human bite the big one but let's face facts: he was seriously ill in the run up to his eventual demise.

Look at his life over the past 20 some years.

It's been terrible, first his skin burns off, then he gets plastic surgery to make him look completely different than he ever did, then he gets made fun of obsessively for it, then he goes through those child cases, then he gets made fun of for it some more, then he buys a theme park and doesn't use it that much and eventually sells it, then South Park and Eminem and everyone else and their mom ceaselessly make fun of him for his nose and his child charges.

If anything, what a rotten life. The way I see it, at least now he's free of all that.

Wow, it's still stunning despite his steep decline the past decade in a half. Growing up a huge Jackson fan, and nearly every kid in the 80's was, this has the feel of what it must have felt like for my parents when Elvis died. Sad, and with all his money problems, I hope his children will be ok.

Why do people make fun of him when he's alive, but the minute he dies, its' "Oh, dang, now I'm all of a sudden such a big Michael Jackson fan and I'm so sad to see him go"?

That doesn't make any sense to me.

You hate him while he's alive, and now you love him once he's dead?

Original account was big_boy_down23. He came into RC on the new account saying he was an OT legend. :roll:

Is that a reason to report him? Sure he ban dodged but was he really that bad?

Ban dodging means you're banned on sight. :? Plus he's cocky. The news stations are showing various videos of his career and life now.

It's been terrible, first his skin burns off, then he gets plastic surgery to make him look completely different than he ever did, then he gets made fun of obsessively for it, then he goes through those child cases, then he gets made fun of for it some more, then he buys a theme park and doesn't use it that much and eventually sells it, then South Park and Eminem and everyone else and their mom ceaselessly make fun of him for his nose and his child charges.

Its strange that he stayed in the United States, after the past few years they treat him like dirt.. When he could have went over to Europe where he is basically idolized over there compared to here now.

Report and ignore them I say... or they can say those things and we'll say bye. A few have already crossed too far past the line in this...

I may not have liked him as a person, but you can't deny his influence on music, and it's still sad for his life to just end like that.

Oh, and people... It's Michael, not Micheal. Please get it right.

MAILER_DAEMON

Why is that a problem; I've seen users wish death on many people -- why is this situation any different? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, if someone were to say I'm glad Hitler committed suicide in a ... let's say for example a WW2 topic, would he get moderated? Or in a thread about some police officer beating an unarmed man, and someone wishes him dead as well, that doesn't warrant moderation?

Why can't someone have their own view that someone who does harm on another individual should perish.

And why does spelling on his name matter, really?
