Well blahh, you have show what idiocy is rampant in our nation today with you comments. I'm not even going to take the time to adress your totally invalid ramblings except to say you are a fool.
I would like to say that I'm glad this nappy headed pervert is in the dirt and i hope he is slow roasting in hell. I think its a shame that everyone is so caught up in the pc lemming mentality that they are worshipping this scum and paying him homage and tribute. He was a singer, dancer and pedophile, and anyone who is caught up in this is a fool or worse.
I think his body should be dragged down the street and left for the dogs.

He was an icon of music; always in the public eye, who are we really to lay judgement on him and who he 'really' was? His contribution to the music world was phenomenal and his talent undesputed. His private life was anything but normal and of course it couldn't be. We don't know Michael the real man so really in all honesty we can not comment and certainly not make harsh judgments and remarks! Show some restraint, class and respect and just remember the contribution we KNOW he made. I feel sorrow for those who feel so much darkness in their own heart that they put their energy into hateful comments; maybe these comments reflect something sad in their own past, I wish for them to find closure and forgiveness for their own past.... I have.

[blahhh777]

if you dont like him or think negatively about him then dont say anything bad.

just keep it to yourself

as the old saying goes.

if you dont have anything nice to say. then dont say it.

even if MJ was a pervert or different. it doesnt mean he is different than you and me.

to everyone who is saying MJ's a pervert.

like please? HOW many of you men out there are checking out and perving 17 yr old girls and thinking they are hot?

how many of you people looked at miley cyrus's sexy and nude photos and looked at vanessa hugkin's nude pictures. they are both underage however their nude photos get millions of hits. every tom, dick and harry checked those photos out yet no1 is calling the millions of people who looked at them perverts. i dont understand why millions of people can look at underage girls naked like miley and vanessa and then accuse MJ of veing a perve. what the? iam sure if u didnt look at those pictures. your friends or neighbors did.

Get this pervert down in the dirt already, exactly where he belongs. What a sad excuse for a human being who damages young children. NO EXCUSE is good enough for his behavior. He is no hero & all you who think he is so great must not have the morals of a flea. I'm sure he'll burn in hell.

[motherofautism]

I think everyone needs to grow up do you have anything better to do then complain about this? Didn't your parents teach you if you have nothing nice to say do not say anything at all? Yes he is dead life moves on but like Elvis he is an icon let people do what they are going to do! Leave GOD out of this he takes whoever he wants whenever he wants one day you too will be standing in front of your maker do not have hate one thing to be judged for!

[CitizenMikeM]

For GOD"s sake, news media, et al....Bury this man and move on! I am sick to death of all this coverage. You couldn't wait to disparage this guy when he was alive...now you're trying to make him a God. He could sing, he could dance--'nuff said... now get over it!

[antepamfe200]

They are treating him like he is GOD. Which he is not. I don't think the president even gets this much attention when he dies. I feel for the children. All of this other, is just planin ridiculous!

[phwtb]

Don't be silly~ no one is treating him like (a) god. They are treating him as a world wide, very beloved icon should be treated. You're correct in your comment that presidents don't get this much attention. And until they can bring the entire world together with love, even just for a moment, they never will. Not because they aren't important but because they are in it for the power. Like Princess Diane's passion for peace, Michael was in it for the passion of music.

after all he started with nothing and he left with nothing .what u lost? nothing always look on the bright side of life de dum de dum and so on and so forth . good luck michael whereever you are thanks for the memories hope you and elvis are getting on seems god gets all the best people .

Would someone please explain to me why L.A. has to bear the burden of the security expense for Michaels memorial? I, like so many millions of people around the world, am deeply sorry to see his life cut short. However, since his estate was reported to be worth $500,000,000.00, why isn't the estate paying for this expense? Does the city of LA have any legal recourse in recouping the vast amount of money it is being forced to spend on this memorial? It seems to be unfair and unecessary. The state is now handing out I.O.U.'s to its countless vendors that are providng services and products. What could this money do for the homeless, the hungry, the sick, and the needy? It just seems absurd! Sorry Michael, I loved your music and am saddened by your departure, but this is wrong!

[45ford]

well said, and i wholeheartedly agree.

[debro39]

L.A. is not being asked to pay for the security for Michael's memorial. The police are out there, because they know that with the number of people who are attending, there will be someone who will cause trouble. The family is not asking for the city or county to pay. It is the same with any large crowd attending anything. If the officials know there will be many people there, they try to make sure there will be enough security to try to stop any trouble before any starts. I agree that the money could be put to better use (to help the homeless, hungry, sick, etc.), but the family has nothing to do with it. The officials who run the city/county made that call. It is as if a professional team wins the championship. The owners of the team are not asking for security to stop possible troubl makers during the celebration. The city/county officials make the call to dispatch security.
