Hey, by the way, welcome back! Where have you been?

Damn though, aint it the truth that stardom can kill... you can understand why, for some, big time commercial success is something to be feared... Elvis, Michael Jackson, Kurt Cobain, the list goes on.... success.... can kill you if you let it.

Thats just ridiculous. But thats the way it is now, kids have all the rights and the teachers have very few. The kids know that too which, for some of them, is pretty much an excuse to get away with murder. Of course i'm not claiming that the kid you mentioned fits the bill, but the response to what happened pretty much proves my point if thats all it takes to be accused of something like that.

I'm only 24 so I had these rights when I was at school too and I would have hated to have been in school back when my parents were, with the rules back then but I wonder how some of the kids who use their rights to do whatever they want would fare if teachers were still allowed to cane the crap out of them for stepping out of line.

Anyway, back on topic. I read that one of Michael Jacksons sisters and other members of his family claim that his doctor (i think) killed him for his money. What money? I know his assets were supposedly worth twice the amount he was in debt but if that was my master plan, to do away with a celebrity to steal his money I wouldn't have picked Michael Jackson.

Yeah but he was Michael Jackson's doctor, he probably didn't work for any other big name celebrities, at least one who was already in such poor helf and whose death could be easly covered up as an accidental overdose.

I don't actually believe this btw I'm just saying.

I figure if you were a doctor and the high-profile celebrity you were working for wanted drugs, you'd get them for him.

Saw an ad the other day trying to sell these "authentic historic lithograph" images of Michael Jackson... was kinda sickened by it... it jsut seemed kinda wrong, like those coins the same sort of people were trying to sell to commemorate 9/11... not everything needs to be turned into a god damned commercial enterprise...

Pretty sure they're the same company selling "Barack Obama commemorative plates".

scottsy · 08-04-2009, 09:56 PM

I mean do people really buy those sorts of things and truly think they're "buying a piec e of US history"... and why do you need to buy history... can't you just value your life as someone who lived through it?
