I had to take a day to analyze, in my head, your last comments. Must concede to your reply. You are right, that was not my intent.
Lesson learned: Write with my head and not my emotions.
Read your profile and I know when to give credit when credit is due. Good job!!!

I did not say you hated.
I did not say you slandered.
You said Good Ol' Boy was speaking in hatred: I corrected you, because he was not.
You rendered an argument against Good Ol' Boy in support of Jackson that accepted the false premise of his guilt as a child molester by arguing that we are all flawed. Since Jackson was innocent there is no need for that argument: the argument should be directed at the premise of guilt since that premise is fallacious. When a premise is false direct argument at the premise; if the premise is sound, do not argue against it.
By arguing as you did you are:
A: Accepting the premise that Jackson was a child molester;
B: Defending child molestation as a mere flaw or mistake such as speeding. I doubt that was your intent, but intent is not relevant.

Escape a wicked world? The world has wicked and good people and more good than wicked. Your thought processes are warped. The city of LA just got stuck for 2 million and lets see if the Jacksons pony up for it, don't hold your breath.

How do stating facts be termed as "nastiness" I know what I wrote and stand by it.
I do not hate. I do not slander. No one is worth hating.
Sometimes, the truth hurts more than some would like to admit.
I stand by what I wrote.
I like asking questions, with due respect, even if they may offend some one.

I did not judge. I did not slander. I do not hate. There is no hate in my heart for anyone. Hate only hurts the person that is doing the hating.
I like to ask questions. I stand by what I wrote. You re-read it.
However this is a good exchange of ideas. This is what its all about.

The near worship of people has a tie in to that movie Idiocracy and where our country is going. The old saying all things in moderation is golden. Sports figures and those in music, films and TV earn way above their worth and people should not idolize any and as with MJ many have their faults.

His name was First Lieutenant Brian Bradshaw, and he was airborne.
Brave soul. My regards to Lieutenant Bradshaw, and my thanks.
I will add:
"The Minstel Boy shall return again,
"When we hear the news we will cheer it!
"The Minstrel Boy shall return again;
"Torn perhaps in body, not in spirit!
"And then may he play his harp in peace,
"In the world that Heaven intended;
"Where all the works of war shall cease,
"And all man's bitterness be ended."
- The Minstrel Boy, by Sir Thomas Moore; circa 1853.

While I agree that the coverage of Michael Jackson's decease has been ... oh, thick, that is to be expected. He was, after all, one of the most famous people alive and known to the entire world, and his death was rather unexpected.
That is why he drew more notice than that woman's brave nephew, who has fallen as so many before him in the line of his duty. Really, can any of us here name every soldier who has fallen in this war with its relatively negligible losses? I wish I could. Pat Tillman is the one that comes first to me. He was also a hero, regardless that it was friendly fire.
We can all name the stunning list of celebrity deaths that have occured of late. It's because we all knew them, none of us knew that woman's nephew.
As far as Michael Jackson goes: we do not know him to have been a pervert. I was suspicious of the accusations since the first back in 1993. Evidently, the boy himself has come forward and admitted it was all a lie; his father's wretched idea to get money. It also turns out that the decision to pay the accusers off was made by Jackson's insurance company over Jackson's objections. He was tried for a subsequent accusation ... with a very peculiar basis that makes the whole thing seem rather thin ... and was exonerated of that accusation. The mother of the second accuser has since been convicted of welfare fraud, by the way.
If you are a Christian, heed what Yehoshua said about judging:
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
Then in the Old Testament, Book of Leviticus:
19:15: "Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly.
19:16: "Do not go about spreading slander among your people."
Wisdom to live by. Since the accusations are without base we should not judge from them anything.

You're also defending Jackson on the wrong basis and not doing him any good in the process since you are reinforcing the accusations against him.

Well I believe the Michael Jackson coverage went on too long. I mean every news channel was talking about nothing but Michael Jackson for 72 hours non-stop. I would damn well rather honor a fallen hero who died so I could be free, rather than honoring a pervert who slept with children when he was 49! You can call me a hater all you want, but I WILL honor those who died to keep me free and safe, and WILL NOT honor a man who slept with kids who were young enough to be his children! IF YOU THINK A PERVERT SHOULD BE HONORED AND A FALLEN HERO SHOULD BE IGNORED, THEN SHAME ON YOU! I THINK IT IS SICK THAT YOU ARE SAYING IT IS RIGHT TO PUT A PERVERT OVER OUR TROOPS!
I will tell you one thing, I sure as hell did not show sympathy for that pervert who killed himself while doing drugs! But I do share grief with the family of the soldier who died in Iraq while protecting the only country that would let a pervert like Michael Jackson walk out of court alive and a free man. Shame on you for putting a perverted, druggie over a true American hero. It is shameful you guys would even put Michael Jackson's death anywhere near as important as a fallen soldier!
I hope somebody reads this, gets the same message as me, and agrees with me! I am now open to any feedback I am sure to get about this.

I don't disagree. However it is the fault of the people watching the coverage. If nobody watched, no coverage. I think it is more indicative of the mindset of the average American watching the coverage than of those who make a living providing what we want to see.

Exactly, plus Michael Jackson was a very significant individual regardless of what one thinks of him. Live non-stop coverage of his funeral is definitely far, far too much, but even still we are after all talking about a person who was arguably the most famous human being on the planet at one time. He had an enormous impact, for better or worse. It's understandable that he would get more coverage than any individual soldier (or death of a person in general), though I do think Iraq and its casualties on a broader level should be getting far more attention than it is.

Hate on your part, Yes! A sense of balance on whose terms, yours?
Allegations are just what they are. I can make an allegation against you and you me. But what does that prove?
Are you less of a person for all that you have done. Is a Priest less of a person for abusing little boys? If you go over the speed limit or do not report all of your income to the IRS, are you less of a person?
He was a quality entertainer. The same as some that went before him and those that will follow. He appealed to a broader group of people. Did you know that MJ is in the Guinness book of record for making the most in donations to charities?
He came at a time when people had a need to escape the wicked world we live in. Find me a perfect person and I will take my hat off to you.
And, No! I am not a big MJ fan. In fact, I do not have any of his music in my house.

I agree that the coverage of Michael Jackson's death was excessive and important news has been missed in the light of his passing. However, we must remember why this is so. First, the media, all forms, has one goal and that is to make money--like it or not Michael Jackson sells (even in death). Second, Michael Jackson, despite being a very disturb person, was an outstanding artist and appreciated by many. These are two simple explanations why his death would be prioritized over a soldier's death. Soldiers die everyday, pop stars only die every-so-often. It's harsh, but it's the truth.

Hate no a sense of balance yes. I think the whole worship MJ is getting is sick. He was an entertainer Period. No better a person than any other, the way he got his kids and the abuse allegations being paid off may point too less of a person. All news was forgotten in the coverage.

You and Good Ole Boy should read my comments for Laurence Burris.
How does it feel to be a hateful person. You can't deny it because your words express it, The Hate.
I had two family members killed in war. Should I go around and not want anyone else to celebrate a life?
Was it alright what the Catholic Priest did to little boys?
Think hard on what you say.

Some of you people are mean and nasty. No one is putting the value of Michael Jackson's life over the value of any American life killed in action. I am sure that every death in Iraq was not mentioned on the T.V. Perhaps, it should be.
Michael's life was a celebration of what he has done from the age childhood. What is wrong if people divert their attention to other matters once in a while.
Grow up and stop looking for the negative. All of that hate will only make you sick.
Good Ole Boy (Republican) - 5 months ago
They are making a big deal of it since died with no sign of letting up, the guy was a freak in more ways than one. The real hero's such as that ladies nephew deserve that kind of coverage much more than Jackson should. There has been a great deal of shady bills in congress that got no coverage either.

It really is. I have a brother and several friend who are serving in the Armed Forces. Many of them have been to Iraq, and some are still there. But it really is sad we place people who sleep with children above the people who protect our children.
