One answer:

Many of these people have always been there for Michael, but Michael is an adult, and you can only help someone whose circumstance allows it, Michael's earning power attracted so many sharks and leeches, the greed of the business, and the childish jealousy of those who have no notable talent, which becomes a jealous monster that can devour presidents as well as kings.

I break my wall during this time because I did know him. He did have real friends, just because you don't know about them does not mean they did not exist.

You yourself couldn't imagine, much less endure what Mr. Jackson had to endure, people who were far less well known could not, so you should really refrain from commenting on subjects about which you know nothing.

You know full what is at the core of their hate, the person being called the greatest entertainer is not "White", that is all it boils down to, the world has evolved past thge teachings of the parents of these types, and they are simpletons, incapable of evolving with it.

As long as you aren't paying for it, what business is it of yours? Best concern yourself with real questions, like who will pay for the wars you supported.

And before you start spewing about taxes, we know that such as your ilk will lie, cheat, and otherwise avoid and evade paying them anyway, so you will make no valid point in that regard either.

You are the one with reading comprehension problems, you and your ilk preface your slamming of the media with unproven speculations about their subject matter in this case, for honoring someone whom you slam for no other real reason than you didn't care for him.

Guess what, some of us, myself being one, were never Elvis fans, but at least we had the civility to let those who did love the man celebrate his life.

That such as you find honoring a person who has had such a positive impact on the world disgusting is nothing less than an honor, for I doubt if people who make such contributions would welcome adoration from such hate filled people, it would be like receiving praise from the kkk.

[brianbwb-2009]

Just as derision from your ilk is a true honor.

The vast majority of us have no clue about his medical history (kindly described here as "turning into a white woman") or his alleged "perverted" behavior (of which he was never found guilty), beyond what's been read in the gossip rags. Seriously, I mean come on! As flawed as he may have been, remember that many of his troubles were fueled by the relentless paparazzi and/or greed from people he mistakenly trusted. How would any of us deal with such hounding, every place, every day of our entire lives?

Remember, please that this is a man who had family and many, many friends who loved and cared about him. How bad could he be, to have maintained those relationships over the years? Everyone should just stop with all the cruel, hateful comments & instead shine a light on all the wonderful gifts he left this world. His children will be the ones who have to take the brunt of the negativity now & we should honor his memory by being kinder to them than we were to their daddy.

Shark, you speak as a civilized person, unfortunately those to whom you address your points have no idea of civilization, they are simply projecting their self loathing onto a convenient target, most likely because they and their future generations will never be able to walk the first steps of such as Mr. Jackson.

They have nothing positive inside them so they have nothing positive to contribute to the discussion, but their misplaced ego moves them to judge someone whose contributions to world culture dwarf exponentially any thing they might conceive, they have nothing left but vitriol.

They cannot be reasoned with, only pitied.

If you read the posts you will see that the majority are slamming the media and the disgusting "superstars" who are taking advantage of him-yet again.
He does not warrant this circus and that's what the media has made of his life and death.
Keep your prayers, no matter how well intentioned and READ the posts.
This display has been disgusting. He was not a saint, he was not a hero, he was not a role model. He was tragic in his life and these leeches are taking advantage.

[xlib]

I agree.

While jackson was broke and owing a ton of money, where were these limo/lear libs? Now, when they have an opportunity for photo ops, out they come.
The other issue is the massive cost of the circus, who will pay for this?
