...me thinks that cartoon must meant Peter at the pearly gates.
Then again, may God have mercy on his soul.

I'm more upset that Farrah Fawcett passed away.
Ferrah Leni Fawcett (February 2, 1947 to June 25, 2009)

They are all burning in hell.

Judge not lest you be judged.

Seeing as how I am an atheist, I don't qualify for either place.

Epsilon, if you are an atheist, I am curious why you was say they are burning in hell.
I was commenting on what a weirdo MJ was and my wife told me to have more respect since he is now gone and the whole sad story of his life is over. I think she is right.

TM - there's a balance. Initally like I heard one commenter say, we should give space to the guy, but after a bit, he is open game.
If can never critisize or judge those who are past, then we are doomed to repeat it in the future.
Oh, in judging, I understand what Timothy Shaw-Zak said, but at the same time, Jesus never meant it as an absolute.
Meaning, read the next verse where He says don't cast your pearls before the swine.
What's a pearl and what's a swine? That's judging n'est pas?
Likewise one can judge if they are not afraid of being judged with the same standard.

tomax7, good ponts.
Regarding pearls and swine, I find the Bible a book of mysteries. It is hard to say exactly what He meant, but perhaps it is paraphrased "don"t judge in your words and actions, but also don't waste too time trying to convince people who have their minds made up."

I have ZERO respect for child molesters. His criminal acts completely nullified whatever weird music he played.
I am glad this creepy old man is dead.

I doubt very much that Jackson will be anywhere close to a possible heaven. Having said that,once you get past the serial molestation and destruction of many young lives,he was quite the talent.

Epsilon,
You're a fool (and I'm ashamed you're a fellow atheist). When libertarian ideas are presented, you threaten the bloggers by saying that you're keeping a list of their posts. (Why? So you can turn them over to the Stasi?)
When gun rights arguments are presented, you make the bizarre claim that real men think only armed government agents can protect them -- protecting themselves is somehow a sign of insecure manhood. I didn't needing the state to protect you like a parent protects a child is a sign of masculinity. (Really, you're just afraid of a free society where people can own guns, ignoring that societies with no civilian guns far more often lead to gun murders (by the state).)
Michael Jackson was weird, but there was never any evidence he molested children. His lack of guilt was proven time and again in courts of law. Here, you completely disregard the courts findings -- a wildly tyrannical world view -- stating with certainty he is guilty.
Epsilon, _you_ are the fodder of tyrants. People like _you_ are the reason tyrannical policies are passed.
Do the world a favour: _never_ vote, _never_ write a letter, _never_ contact a politician, and _never_ a join a political party. Stay home, watch television, and never do anything that will impact on the liberty or well-being of others. The world will be a better place. Were I a utilitarian, I would support your indefinite incarceration for the greater good.
For the editors: this blog is one of the great disappointments in my life. What should be a libertarian haven is a hang-out for the conservative movement's rejects and bullies.

"You're a fool"
"you_ are the fodder of tyrants"
"I would support your indefinite incarceration for the greater good"
I'm so sorry to hear that Robert. I always kind of liked you!
Love,
Epsi

NOTE TO EDITORS: is it possible for you to allow people to automatically append permanent sayings underneath their posts? I really like this one and it is awkward to ahve to write it out all the time.

Robert Seymour,
There was evidence he was a child molester. The child in the 93 case, that Jackson paid off, was able to describe details of his genitalia. As great as his music may have been I have every reason to believe he was a child molester.
I agree the comments on this site are frequently awful, but what do you expect when a pedophile is discussed? I'm sorry, but good riddance.

If they can't tell the difference between God and St. Peter, it should be no surprise that they can't tell the difference between relevant news and the death of Michael Jackson.

I'm trying to remember, can someone help me? Did the Jackson 5 ever appear on "Donny and Marie"?
I remember both acts, when they first started showing up on variety TV shows. I think it was Andy Williams that first showcased the Osmonds, but I don't remember where the Jacksons appeared.

Timothy and tomak7, the title for the cartoon was provided by Troy Media.

who cares about Michael Jackson?
leave him for the white trash to pick over.

Given that Micheal was created by God, I am sure the same God is aware of his dance moves.
Posted by: Merle Terlesky | 2009-06-28 10:28:06 PM
for those who even paid attention to the past few days, who r still making claims of those acts Michael was accused of. you would have known that the 93 accuser just admitted to lying about the accusations. Get ur facts straight before you open your mouth next time.
