“Vile” is an adjective.

Looks like the jokesters are getting cranked up, heh.

All humor has an element of truth.

My first thoughts were accidental drug overdose or suicide. I he was about to lose his home according to Fox. That makes me wonder.

I had a great friend who, like him, was a brilliant artist and childlike person. She committed suicide when she turned 50. She simply could not handle that she was aging. Her face was getting lines and her cheeks were sagging, and she had not achieved inner peace after years of psychotherapy. What a shame she didn't know Jesus; and the same with him -- If his conversion to Islam is to be believed, I pity him all the more.

dragnet2 ~ Lots of LAPD detectives now inside the residence, approaching an hour now.

Albion Wilde ~ They're only human... I'm sure there is an understandable amount of lingering around out of curiosity about his belongings and furnishings and displays of memorabilia.

That and they could be puzzled by the number of DVD titles in his library that have Cambodian labels.

He was a fan of Cambodian theatre? Who knew?

If Kim Jong-Il managed to hit us with a nuke right about now, would the media even notice?

Who did I insult, nada one. I am expressing my opinon of the freak Jackson, and everyone seems to want to chat back with me endlessly. It is JMHO, and many others ROFL

Well I for one am done 'chatting' with you as you are obviously a flamebaiter.

Obviously that’s only a specific sub genre of it.

Is someone seriously arguing that rap IS music?

After all, you can’t spell “crap” without “r-a-p.”

Yes - basic Christian principles are lost on many of those who love to loudly brandish their Christian credentials.

The “life” he led?? Where’s my violin? He died living in a mansion! He brought 3 kids into his nightmare and made them live it!! At what point was he responsible for anything to do with his life?? Always someones fault...never his fault.

The “he was frail and an artist and sensitive” excuse can’t be used for all his choices....at least, for me it can’t.

That joke isn’t regarded as such by anyone under 45.

I wonder if there will be Michael Jackson sightings in about 3 days, up walking around, healing people...

I think that gig is reserved for The Messiah...

RIP

I enjoyed his music growing up.

But what good can you say about this sad man without complimenting a pedophile?

That is all I can muster for him.

Mess with kids and you should be in jail, NOT planning your ‘comeback’ tour.

How many of YOU reading this have suffered because of what some sick person did to you as a child?

The only difference between Michael and the one who abused you is that Michael was rich and famous. He bought his way out of deserved convictions.

I do hope his tortured soul rests in peace. But I’m dreading the adoration that will be poured out for him.

It makes me think of the millions of other tortured, but unfamous, souls that have been created by people like him. I think of damaged children and ruined lives.

We fail our children far too often in this regard.

I would love to be there when some of these so called Christians meet their maker. I take that back, no I wouldn’t.

Yes, someone seriously is. Then again some people think that the Barney The Purple Dinosaur theme song is “music” also.

Obviously, you are entitled to your opinion. Others saw him differently. Do you think mansions are the key to true happiness? His three children may not see their lives, with their father, as a nightmare. A 12, 11, and 4 year old lost their parent today. I was just surprised by the amount of vemon here.
