michael Jacksons music and life is politically irrelevant. A few interesting people died lately, how about McNamara. Michael Jackson is taking too much space on this board.
Czuch: The late singer's unofficial biographer Ian HalperinIan told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper: "It is clear to me that Michael was homosexual and that his taste was for young men, albeit not as young as Jordan Chandler or Gavin Arvizo. In the course of my investigations, I spoke to two of his gay lovers, one a Hollywood waiter, the other an aspiring actor."
I also grew up enjoying Michael Jackson's music. What made him spectacular though isn't his music, it was his videos. He revolutionized the art of music videos. What ever his personal sexual preference may have been, drug addiction, body dysmorphia, bizarre wardrobe, none the less he was an extremely talented person. IMO....The Petition For A Decree From The U.S Congress through Title V of the United States Code (5 U.S.C. � 6103) or Presidential Proclamation form President Obama to recognize August 28, 1958, Michael Jackson's Birthday, as a federal holiday in memory of Michael Jackson........... I will "not" be signing.
Tuesday: Czuch: Where did you get he was homosexual?
There are many people within his "handlers group" that have admitted he has taken home the random gay waiter from restaurants etc... he supposedly had many gay encounters over the years....
题目: Re: and nice to see art and Jim agree on something.
Tuesday: Lyrics Wanna Be Starting Something Michael Jackson
I said you wanna be startin' somethin' You got to be startin' somethin' I said you wanna be startin' somethin' You got to be startin' somethin' It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah) Too low to get under (yeah, yeah) You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah) And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah) It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah) Too low to get under (yeah, yeah) You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah) And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)
Tuesday: Do you really think an average shmo would get the benefit of the doubt you are providing him?
I'm sure this same rational has been used in countless court proceedings by fat, poor unshaven bus drivers,and they probably didn't have 20 million to pay anybody off
Czuch: I think people sometimes buy into the 'Peter Pan' image he nurtured.If he was fat,unshaven, and drove a bus it would be percieved very differently IMO
Tuesday: But come on... no difference between letting your own children sleep in a bed with you, and a homosexual adult letting minor boys that he is not related to sleep with him????
Tuesday: I used to jump into bed with my folks when I was a kid,but to my knowledge niether my mom or dad would invite other kids to spend the night in their bedroom
Some very silly figures waste their time again somewhere with no outcome. Europe is made to experience a economical crash. Green and wet as good as everywhere.
That one is funny. In Dubai they worry to get critisized by the media. Well, integrity trumps. Any counties who know any kind of restrictions regarding the press. How can they be taken seriously?
Can somebody paint a realistic picture of the Iranian forces. Because their propaganda is something like a joke. They were 8 years in war with Irak, Irak had no army in 2003.
Israel and the finance sector have this in common: good kernel and infraction, transgressio, misdemeanor, violation, infringement, breach, trespass. Their heresy is to own as much as possible.
题目: Re: Michael Jackson to be honored by Congress?
GTCharlie: Then that is a load of rubbish. Mr Jackson (if you listen to one of his interviews) quite honestly admits that the only time he felt safe at home when he was with his brothers. Alone was bad!!!!
Hence his need to have boys around him and his dependence on painkillers. ... pain was a reminder of his dad.
It could happen to anyone, and probably has and will... but with luck, maybe it'll happen less it being in the news and all.
题目: Re: Michael Jackson to be honored by Congress?
Artful Dodger: It has nothing to do with race relations.. M Jacksons behaviour was related to something that can happen to any kid..... a psychotic oppressive, violent dad.
He is just a 'titanic' in such that through who and what he became will since he was and is a big star be more public.
Hopefully much good can come of this if politics stays out of it and it's dealt on a purely human level.
Czuch: $5 stores... I doubt it, but prices on "Made in China" goods would go up, McD's would cost you more...
Also, if like us you've stuff done in India. Then if like us, you ban(ish) 'sweat shop' clothes made (if not already) then more price increases. Plus ... many dead and obsolete computers are recycled in India by hand... with the chemicals they use.
... another reason to make sure your hard drive is wiped 1000% before selling it, or getting it recycled!! .... etc.
