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.
gogul: Politically.. not really... but as a matter of human interest... no.
We don't want to go back to the old days of abuse being hidden and not talked about.
And it is a politically talked about subject here in the UK, as several cases of abuse have come to light through those who are supposed to monitor at risk children have let down children resulting in deaths. Some people have lost their jobs over certain cases.
(V): Right. there is michael, there are kids, there is his daddy and his family. Michael serves as an example of somebody who didn't see the need to solve his personal problems. Lost childhood the poor michael? Aww
gogul: You know some people know they need to solve problems but don't know how.... or put into a state where they think such solving is not possible, or find such a task too daunting.
"Aww" reminds me of attitudes that have kept the cycle of abuse going, people led to believe that what they have been through is an unmentioned subject. It's normal...
It is not.
And if MJ's life leads to even just a small number of adults and children escaping such a vicious cycle then it'll never be a waste.
You don't solve your problems by taking a look at mj's life. People who don't know how to get decent, I don't know. Should I care? All that michael can teach is a howto 'be a puffed up ego' in five steps.
