Farrah Fawcett died today, and Michael Jackson in the hosptial :(

um? go where? I merely said I am probably one of the few. I was a Michael Jackson fan... not sure what you think I am "going there" to.

*shrug*

See, this is why we can't have nice things, like an off-topic forum!

PLEASE let's not fight about the merits of deceased public figures.

There are a lot of threads here, and the topic of this one seems to be, mourning public figures passed today. Folks who don't want to mourn here, how about we just decamp to another thread?
.

Yes, you have. Just then.

And neither of us will be his judge now.

Listen, as I said, you are deceiving yourself if you think that everything you hear about Michael is everyone sobbing that they will miss him so much. Can you not see that to me and others, it might be extremely poor taste to mourn the passing of a pedophile? Yet I am not the one here stating that, I am not the one telling you or Ciaran or anyone else that expressing your sentiments was in extremely poor taste. Yet this is what both of you just did to me. You have both basically told me to shut up, well thank you!

So go on and mourn but you are going to have a hard time in the next few days telling everyone else who disagrees to shut up. Might it be better to just keep on expressing your own sentiments and ignore whoever does not share you sympathy?

Might it be better to just keep on expressing your own sentiments and ignore whoever does not share you sympathy? If you would have done that with my post then it would have been just one post here. Just do not expect me to take it lying down if you tell me to shut up.

So these families whored out their children to him?

Yeah, sure. How much money does it take to clear your conscious of selling out your children like that?

Thank you. I'm with Jesse,the guy was a monster. Good riddance to creepy ass child predators.

This.

I don't know about anyone else, but that's not how I roll. Anyone does something like that to my kids, I don't care how big a check they can write, I have a shotgun and a shovel and know how to use both of them.

even though i did not start this thread, i sent in a request that it be locked.
whether you believe he is guilty or not is besides the point.
you did not have to post in the thread if thats how you felt.
like i said in my previous post, i will miss the music.

somehow I left out a not*

I bet you're a riot at funerals!

What were their avatar names?

Sometimes when you do not have something nice to say, it is best to not say anything at all especially when someone has died that people obviously care about.

Same as your other post:

Listen I do not know what in the hell got under your skin today but I have never told you to shut up or been nasty to you even when I have not agreed with what you have said. So you do not like me now? To f**king bad, shove it up your *ss and just remember that I was not the one being a b*tch to you.

This goes to everyone else that was nasty to me here. What in the hell have I done to you Briana? What about you Ciaran? I came in and expressed my sympathy for Farrah and I said good riddance to MJ. I did not come in and attack any of you did I? So where in the hell do you get off attacking me?

Can any of you show me where I HAVE EVER told one of you to shut up? Can any of you show me where I was nasty to you before now? I think you all need to really take a good long look in the mirror.

This.



Apparently the presumption of innocence, preponderance of the evidence and aquittal by a jury of your peers have no bearing on society.

Unless of course, it's you who is being accused, right?

Well you did not have something nice to say to me but you said it right? Heed your own words.

No Jesse, you have never done anything to me personally.

I just think you exercised poor judgment in this thread. Sure we all have feelings, but we do not all have to express them whenever they pop up. This was just a poor time for you to express your extreme dislike against a public figure that will be mission by millions across the continents.

i did not say anything rude to you Jesse.

Unfortunately you cannot possibly fathom that some people will be extremely saddened by the death of Michael Jackson, and some of those people will be in this forum, and some of them will be offended by what you said.

But it was your right to say it, i just question the timing.

/emoragequit

This is not about telling you to shut up. These threads are typically created so people can post their sympathies. If you would have just said something positive about Farrah and stopped there no one would have felt compelled to chastise you.

You're really freaking out though and that's kinda lol.

Hotbutton Linden.

Yeah, this thread needs locked.

IBTL?

Has this rule ever been followed though in this forum...?

If you have not learned by now that someones money and fame has a direct bearing on the system then you need to open your eyes.

AGAIN, there was nothing wrong in my stating my sympathy for Farrah or great dislike of Michael. No one had to agree with it but it should be evident by now that some did. What is shameful is the actions of those expressing the moral outrage. Everyone could have just skipped over my words instead of insulting me.

Lock the thread but you had might as well turn off the internet, the TV and stop reading the newspaper for the next couple of weeks because there are one heck of a lot of people that share my opinion.

Yea, i thought DEATH would be a line everyone could respect out of common decency.
