Default First Farrah Fawcett, Now Michael Jackson..

If you haven't already heard, Farrah Fawcett died this morning, and now Michael Jackson this afternoon of a heart attack. So sad.

Yes, it's sad that we lost Farrah Fawcett.

Seriously though, I will miss Michael Jackson and it saddens me that it seems he didn't have a very happy life. He seemed like a very kind and gentle hearted man. Personally I have never believed any of the slander rumors about him.

When "rumors" go through the court of law repeatedly, I think it's fair to say that they are more than just rumors.

No, actually a row of civil law suits is no guarantee whatsoever for any truth in those allegations.

I usually agree with you, but not here. I think the fairest thing to say is that it's impossible to know. I'd like to believe he's innocent and therefore choose to think so. Neither I or those who think different have any evidence.

His personality seemed very mild and almost a bit naive to me, so I'm gullible enough to think that it's true that he just wanted to have that childhood his father never let him have.

He was naked in the presence of children. This much is known as the child was able to accurately describe Jackson's body.

No, I'm not necessarily believing that he was attempting to have sex with kids. However, I do know he was probably engaging in unusual behavior with children that could be deemed an inappropriate.

Now, while I believe he was guilty of these charges, I do not believe Michael Jackson in his heart or his mind believed he did anything wrong.

However, just because one doesn't think one did wrong, doesn't mean one did the right thing.

Well you're right about that. Most adults naturally think it's bizarre that he wanted to play with kids to relive a childhood he barely had. Of course that's weird.

The naked part, maybe and maybe not. I've read of many cases where kids (girls mostly) have accused their parents of sexual molesting and stuff like that. Parent is convicted because the pretty little child is sooo convincing and trustworthy. How could it not be true? Well, then it later turns out it was all a lie.

It's possible that he was naked with children, but my opinion is that it's just not possible to know for sure, one way or the other.

Personally I'm much more disturbed by what's recently become known of Morgan Freeman, who I appreciated highly before learning of his disgusting personal life. In his case there seems to little doubt since both his wife and his mistress!!! have left him after finding out... Plus the girl herself admitted it. Yuck!
