    He wasn't proven "not guilty". He was just not proven "guilty". There is a difference. Just because they were not able to prove that he did it, doesn't mean that he didn't do it. It just means that he got away with it. And whether or not he did it or not, he certainly did things that were inappropriate to young boys. He was a werido and a freak.

    Yeah, he wrote some good songs, and was a good dancer. But like Kerosene said that was a long long time ago. I'm not going to miss him. :rolleyes:

    I don't think so because at least he was economically producing something that other people derived utility from. The ultimate goal is to spread happiness everywhere, so if more people are sad than happy and a consumable is also lost then it's a negative impact.

    The world is not better without Michael Jackson because in music for exemple is missing the songs that makes you happy or the song that gives you the power to live.Michael will be always in our hearts!

    Michael was one of a kind. So, in a world full of Kesha's and Usher's I would say he is definitely going to be missed. Obviously he had a family and also friends that will miss him so that is of course a tragic loss for them as well. As far as not wanting to hear about his death on the news...what I would really like to know is why the hell Farrah Fawcett's death was broadcast??!!
    Her death is sad, yes. Just like any human being's death can be a tragic loss for their loved ones and those who admired them. My confusion lies in the fact that the media has called her "America's Sweetheart." As far as I know, her contribution to entertainment was a starring role in a TV show and some photos in Playboy. Don't get me wrong, I am not knocking her or trying to minimize the fact that she has passed. I think her portrayal of the fight agains cancer was very brave. However, if we are going to talk about unnecessary media coverage of a celebrity death, Farrah Fawcett should have had alot less as well.

    Is the world better off without Michael Jackson? The industry, no. He was a very good artist. The children of the young generation? Definitely yes. I don't see why those children would go public on being molested by the King of Pop if it was all a lie. Yes, I get the idea of having fifteen minutes of fame but being stereotyped as molested by a famous person for the rest of your life is not worth it.

    I feel weird knowing he is gone. His music was great. Not sure what to feel about other accusations made on him. If they are true then the price will be paid. Or maybe it was ?

    I never really liked him, but when you are on top there is always some one waiting in the wings to take your place, like Justin Bieber

    Well this is the reality.. No matter what you do in your life or how much money you have earn, the truth is every single person has to die. The earth will not stop rotating even if someone born or die. Life cycle will keep on moving but he rule the world and everybody will remember him through out the life.
