THIS WAS WRITTEN BY A SOLDIER IN IRAQ .

I was just watching the news, and I caught part of a report on Michael Jackson. As we all know, Jackson died the other day. He was an entertainer who performed for decades.
He made millions, he spent millions, and he did a lot of things that make him a villain to many people. I understand that his death would affect a lot of people, and I respect those people who mourn his death, but that isn't the point of my rant.
Why is it that when ONE man dies, the whole of America loses their minds with grief? When a man dies whose only contribution to the country was to ENTERTAIN people, the American people find
the need to flock to a memorial in Hollywood , and even Congress sees the need to hold a "moment of silence" for his passing?
Am I missing something here? ONE man dies, and all of a sudden he's a freaking martyr because he entertained us for a few decades? What about all those SOLDIERS who have died to give us freedom? All those Soldiers who, knowing that they would be asked to fight in a war, still raised their hands and swore to defend the Constitution and the United States of America .
Where is there moment of silence? Where are the people flocking to their graves or memorials and mourning over them because they made the ultimate sacrifice? Why is it when a Soldier dies, there are more people saying "good riddance," and "Thank God for IEDs?" When did this country become so calloused to the sacrifice of GOOD MEN and WOMEN that they can arbitrarily blow off their deaths, and instead, throw themselves into mourning for a "Pop Icon?"
I think that if they are going to hold a moment of silence IN CONGRESS for Michael Jackson, they need to hold a moment of silence for every service member killed in Iraq and Afghanistan . They need to PUBLICLY recognize every life that has been lost so that the American people can live their callous little lives in the luxury and freedom that WE, those that are living and those that have gone on, have provided for them. But, wait, that would take too much time, because there have been so many willing to make that sacrifice. After all, we will never make millions of dollars. We will never star in movies, or write hit songs that the world will listen to. We only shed our blood, sweat and tears so that people can enjoy what they have.
Sorry if I have offended, but I needed to say it. Feel free to pass this along if you want.
Remember these five words the next time you think of someone who is serving in the military;

"So that others may live..."

Agree, I think it's a disgrace that our government would have a moment of silence for a child molester and not recognize each and every soldier that made the ultimate sacrifice... What the hell are we doing giving a moment of silence to America's most famous pedophile? Unbelievable.

[Gerry]

On House floor, a moment of silence for Michael Jackson

I was totally unaware of this. When I hear about something like this I immediately think it is a joke.

It is not.

And yes, it is a disgrace.

Absolutely agree. This is not why they are sent to Washington.

Unlike O. J. Simpson who won by technicality, Michael Jackson was PROVEN INNOCENT by courts once and again, and the published evidence so far is inconclusive at best. I'm not even a fan of MJ, but to *casually* accuse a dead person of such a serious crime is lame to say the least.

So it was OK to accuse him of being a pedophile while he was alive but it's not OK to accuse him when he's dead?... Does that go for ALL people who are accused of crimes but not found guilty in a court of law? or just Michael Jackson who had the money to pay off his accuser in the sum of 22 MILLION Dollars?. An accuser who by the way refused to testify during the criminal trial for monetary gain.

Yeah, Nothing naughty was going on a Netherland, why it's perfectly normal for 35 year old men to sleep with little boys... Would you of let him sleep with yours?, I think not.

It's irrelevant. Our politicians are sent to DC to do our business. If they want to honor a dead celebrity, they can do it on their own time.

[Anthony Ng]

It's irrelevant.

How is it irrelevant when I commented on Raider's bashing of a dead man whose "crime" was proven innocent by courts?

[Bionic]

I've been watching his video for the last couple days many times over.
It made me miss the guy for the 1st time, this is worth 9 minutes of your time.

[Seraphim]

The guy didn't have a childhood, and seemed to live vicariously through kids. Unhealthy?... absolutely. Strange?... without question. But was he a pedophile, it's possible, but I highly doubt it. A couple of years ago I was bored, and read through both cases against him, and they were extremely flimsy... There have been numerous experts on pedophiles who have come forward over the years, and concluded that Michael exhibited bizarre behavior, but in no way fit the profile of a sexual deviant. Kind of like the skin bleaching nonsense, where there are photos out there that prove he had vitiligo, yet most people today even with the evidence out there in plain view, still believe he was trying to alter his complexion. Obviously these are two completely separate issues, but my point is that disinformation swarms around Michael Jackson like no one in the history of mankind.

My two cents... I will also add, some of the Michael stuff out there is funny as hell though, like this.

[Raider]

Bashing?..lol

Was his behavior with little boys proven innocent? Was it innocent? I don't think it was... Everyone is entitled to believe what they want to and to express their opinions here. Since when do we need a judgment or an acquittal from a court or law to do that?. After they die?

Yes, this one (Smooth Criminal) is the BEST ever production of Michael Jackson, even better than Thriller which made him "king". Unfortunately, his talent went downhill after that. Remember the Time was okay, but that's all to write home about. I am particularly disappointed by You Rock My World (which features Marlon Brando): simply a waste of money and everybody's time.

Again, I'm not a fan of MJ: there are so many more talented people out there. But at least in that 9, 10 minutes, we can tell why he was (or still is) so popular.

[Mike Cruz]

I liked how MJ and his lawyers offered a family something like 13 million dollars to just rid himself of the situation, when the father got greedy and said he wanted something like 50 million dollars, MJ and his attorney's responded with 6 million, when the father returned with 30 million offer, MJ countered with 3 million, then the father came back with like 15 million and MJ offered 1 million, and so on til it got down to a hundred thousand or so...

I don't know the exact figures, but I thought it was funny... you can look it up as I read it a long time ago (year or two) and come to find out the kid came back saying his dad was lying and made him say things that were not true and he, himself knew that his dad was only trying to get some type of monetary gain (obviously).

I am not a fan of MJ's M.O. sleeping in the same room of the kids or the sleep overs, thought that was incredibly weird. and to be honest I thought for a while he was a pedo until reading more into the issue and finding out about MJ's negotiating during these times...

Btw, he will always be the be dancer ever... I don't think anyone will ever be able to beat his moves and of course... he made thriller man, THRILLER...

Yeah, the first case was clearly financially motivated, regardless of what did or didn't happen. If I'm not mistaken, the second case was brought against him by the same set of lawyer[s]. A lot of strange twists and turns in it all, enough for me to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Shame if he wasn't guilty at all, can't imagine having to live through that. The younger MJ was an absolute legend, he defined at least a decade of culture and music, and he did it with real talent. A lot of pop stars today have very little natural talent, and seem to be mostly sold through gimmicks.
