I think now that Michael has died the truth is coming out about his nightmare of a Family.

They say Money can't buy you happiness, by looking how his family are at the moment, i guess he's good to be out of it.

If you really mean do i have any compassion for my fellow man then the answer would be Yes.
But talking badly about the dead does not mean you are heartless.

Well said Lasto. Nobody focused on his good sides when he was alive and now that he's dead they tend to focus on his good attributes. His family, surely played a big part in the way he acted through his years alive but that is no excuse to be the way he was.

Like I said, he was surely a talented singer and dancer. That is where it ends I'm afraid, talent alone doesn't define a person.

Anyone watch the kevin bishop show last night? :D

And why is this such a bad thing? If we mourned or showed compassion for every person who died we would be living in a state of depression. I personally couldn't care if he died. I never knew the guy just like I never knew farah fawcett who died on the same night/day. No mention of her, does this mean others don't have a heart?

As far as I am concerned. Michael Jackson took the easy way out. He was killing himself slowly and he knew it. Ever since the child abuse case against him he was existing not living.

New flash... Aren't there children dying of something as fixable as starvation? So why are we giving so much press to a guy who obviously manipulated people and the system because of privledge? Goodness, the Jackson family seems like quite the manipulative family in general and have yet to address Michael's personal responsibilty in all of this. The guy was a major drug addict, plain and simple. MICHEAL was the cause of his own death!

I agree gabby, Years ago the guy was a star, The music was unreal but the last 10 years was a nightmare for the guy.

Plus i read withing hours of his death, his family were phoning up the house asking where michael kept the "CASH", Whats that about??

Very Strange, I think folk will remember him for the music, the child abuse, Drugs and plastic surgery second.

Shame really :(
