I didn't bother reading that morons post that you quoted, but I just wanted to say that he didn't bleach his skin to make anyone like him more. He didn't bleach his skin at all. He had a skin disorder that make his skin blotchy, and he had to wear make up to make it even toned. Refer to this video about 5:40 mins into it:
I just watched all the 8 parts this weekend. Really good interview! |
i heard this on npr, i can't remember who was saying it, but it was some black guy from some black organization who was making the argument that mj was clearly unhappy with his black features (big nose, curly hair, dark skin). he was saying if mj had a skin disease that made his skin blotchy, why wouldn't he even it out to his natural dark tone as opposed to pale white. i dunno, maybe it wasn't his choice to make. |

Fact: Eric Kupper is a House DJ/Producer who has produced w/ David Morales, Frankie Knuckles, Louie Vega and...................MICHAEL JACKSON! (see, I'm still in topic)
So some of you might want to check him out as ERIC KUPPER headlines for INCOGNITO @King King on Friday July 17:tongue3 ;) |
Have some respect for Michael, Alan... especially on his memorial day. This is a new low that I have never seen before. I thought I had seen it all. I was wrong. :( |

I'm not pretending to actually know. I'm going off what I've read and what my experience has taught me. I thought I made that clear in my last post. And the point of arguing about it is that I am drunk and bored. Why are you arguing?
The only people with ALL the facts are MJ and potentially any of the alleged "victims". AKA Only the people directly involved. Yet there seems to be a great deal of discussion of billions of topics by billions of people not directly involved every day. How can that be?
I was not under the impression that i was talking about WHY he may have did anything. I thought i was discussing if i thought he actually did or not and why, and why I think holding ANY one on such a stellar pedestal despite their evil deeds is retarded.
Precisely. Which is why hailing him as a great person cause he had some giant hits and is dead despite any evil doings is retarded. Also, this would be clue #1 to not let your kids sleep in his bed.
Again, all anyone here has is hearsay. I do not know him or any of the kids personally, nor do i care enough to do so. Yet since this forum/life is not a court of law, I/we/all of us can and do use hearsay to make decisions everyday, like it or not. HOWEVER, it's the amount and pattern of hearsay I have run across from many, some admittedly questionable, sources, but not known bad, and how it fits with what i've been taught/know. That is what i mean by critical thought. Using all sources of info before making up my mind. I am not sad he's dead just because the TV tells me to be so today, which so many people seem to do. Nor do I fear for my life because the news is on stormwatch '09 with live team coverage of where a tree almost fell over, but then didn't. Similarly, if i WAS stupid enough to have a kid, i would surely get them vaccinated, despite what Oprah or Jenny McCarthy are trying to tell me.
Is it? Are you new to the interweb? Besides porn and cyber-bullying, rumor-mongering is the reason for the internet. |
i'm not arguing anything with anyone here. i'm simply pointing out the futility in defending either position while highlighting the virtue of non-judgment. the quality of non-judging represents detached observation. when you simply observe without adding mental analysis of the situation, you free yourself to see things more accurately. the fact is we never can judge another person truly accurately. because we cannot do this, we might as well release our need to judge. however it seems you're very emotionally invested in proving an unprovable point, and besides that you've confounded several unrelated issues into a confusing diatribe, so i will just leave you to your own thoughts. |

Come on dude! we're on the internet here! If i was trying to change minds i'd bomb an abortion clinic or go on a mission to spread the word of Jerk to the natives, or something other than sitting here all day. I really don't care about MJ IRL, he did have a few songs i didn't mind, and whatever he does in private is his own business as far as I'm concerned. However given the virtual nature of this conversation, and my current BAC and boredome level, I figured I'd virtually-care for a bit. And if anything, you seem to be virtually on the same page as I am. Emotionally IRL, I'm just happy I'm not playing freecel. |

it seems like he only posts about his events, so i think it was a cheap shot to do so on this thread.
maybe he didnt want to open up a new thread about the event and then not have anyone post on it, like some other events that get posted and live a lonely life...You know who/what i'm talking about lol |
