“Conservativism is dead if this is the trend.”

No, JUSTICE is dead if this is the trend. Meaning, taking the word of an anonymous guard and heresay as fact.

I don’t know if Jackson was guilty or not, but this sure as hell wasn’t a black and white case, so to speak.

“Lewis Carroll was unusually attracted to young girls. He took photos of them in the nude. Charlie Chaplin as well. Do you think anyone who likes them is ‘reprehensible’?

Nowadays that would land you in prison where the inmates would hurt you - badly.

The fact that you are trying to even give props to them and moralize the exploitation of children a and your championing of what is clearly WRONG behavior, tells us all we need to know about you.

Just keep digging that hole trying to defend the indefensible.

Can’t argue with any of those. And for jazz (aside from the already mentioned Ellington, Parker, and Tatum) — Satchmo, Ella, Mingus, Monk, Bean, Wes, Benny G, Louis B.....

Amen to Wes! Taken from us way too early. When I young, I only knew of his easy listening A&M records, and had no idea how great of a jazz player he was before then.

Could be...whomever it was, he mutilated himself for naught. Back before he started down that road, he was a very handsome guy, IMO.

“DISPICABLE Men”

Well, if they can sing and dance they must not be all that bad, right, TaraP?

Hell, if you can sing and dance then, by all means, have at it. Feel free to rape, pillage, and plunder ‘til your talented heart is content.

0bama is a darned good golfer folks, he can take my paycheck and run my country into the ground anytime.

If true, yes.

Scientific American published a photo Lewis Carroll took of a young, nude Alice Liddell.

It was about as perverted as a photo of your baby taking a bath.

I'm not defending their actions. I'm defending the idea of seperating the work from the person. BTW Carroll's photos are readily available. One is on Wiki. See for yourself.

"Those two cases are pretty well known. Carroll got kocked out of Alice Lidell’s home by her parents when they found out was going on. His two ‘Alice’ books are schoolroom classics. Chaplin got run out of the country for. among other things, being involved with underage girls.

Then my earlier comment stands.

Did GOD say what SINS are GREATER?

Or does GOD have a Sin classification?

Those Men did not kill out of self defense...

Solomon killed over jealousy and lust for a married woman

MOST people here are expressing themselves in a decent fashion. Others are not. They stand out like a sore thumb.

I believe his victims. And so do decent people. I find defense of this predator, reprehensible.

Let me tell you something, smart guy. Nobody on this board has any idea whether MJ abused children or not. He was found not guilty in court, and to insist that he is guilty without knowing it for a fact, especially since you weren't a member of the jury during his trial, is as reprehensible as it gets.

Since you don't know whether he's guilty or not, would you be willing to state right here and now that you hope he's not? Because if you're not willing to do that, you're worse than reprehensible, you're downright evil.

“Freaks of a feather, freak together.

One has to wonder if the freaks recognize a kindred spirit in everything that this child abuser represents.”

He had a nose for that sort of thing.

The way Wes used his heavily callused thumb was incredible, and contributed greatly to his mellow tone. No pick, no (right hand) fingers, just that wild thumb action. And no extraneous notes either. Best jazz guitarist ever. Yep, left us way too early. ...like many of the greats did (Clifford Brown, for sure).

I’d like to see this liar Michael Jackson try to lie to the Lord when he comes face to face with the Lord, the one God , Jesus Christ.

What will the wicked do when faced with the creator of the universe?

Are your comments coming from your *perfection* or your *hypocrisy*?

or is it just coming from anger and hate?
