All the other black people you see with vitiligo, they have it in patches, I've never seen one who was white all over like Jackson was. I think that's why people didn't buy it.

It may be a little hard to talk about his death without having to repeat the same thing over and over. He died of a heart attack. EOS.


Btw, I remember something about MJ taking proactive steps to intentionally lighten his skin because he uh... wanted to be white. The plastic surgery that systematically removed typical features of African American people on his face seems to support it.
But I dunno...

Well, there's other things to talk about than his death.

I just hear the rants about him being overrated all the damn time, wouldn't hurt to have just a little respect for the dead for the time being and not rant on about your subjective opinions on his music and how that somehow means he was not a great loss.

Granted he was way past his prime at this point, but that doesn't undo all the great music he did, which is what he should be remembered for.

So no matter how far off topic from the death of MJ we are, as long as it's positive, it's ok?
Subjectivity is going to be the only way we can express our opinions equally about this thing. Not having that ability rules out 90 percent of the available discussion.

Why does this always happen to me?

If you think Jackson is overrated, there's an overrated artists thread right next door, post your rants there, that's what it's for, kapich?

I don't think he was. lol.
I'm just saying, if we're not talking about MJ dying, then we're going to be off topic. If we're going to let some convo slide, then it's probably going to be subjective convos. But who's opinions are going to be yelled at? And why?

The most annoying part of it all is hearing all the unfunny cunts spinning off the woeful dead-paedophile jokes.

That's why David created a tasteless dead MJ joke thread in the games forum. Now there's no excuse for it in here.
There's also a Michael Jackson thread where we can talk about his music.
That leaves:

Heart-attack banter

Except he died from cardiac arrest, and not a heart attack (at least I've never read that it's been confirmed he had a heart attack, which he very well may have).
