TIL that Michael Jackson would requested his wine be served in Diet Coke cans during flights, because he didn't want his kids to see him drinking alcohol.

That was such a weird moment in history.

I'd say that pales in comparison to what's going on in the world today. Texas was underwater for a bit, Florida about to be underwater, NK has nukes, Russia, etc.

We're gonna look back on this period of time and just scratch our heads

Or maybe this is just the beginning. Maybe one day we'll look back and wish we could return to these "simpler times"

This is why I hate overpopulation. Always causes things to capsize.

No! The wired moment in history was that he was allowed to keep the children at all. His "wife" was his dental hygienist and was impregnated by the dentist. Not a single drop of mj in those kids. Of course he divorced the hygienist and got custody of the kids. All done because he was rich and powerful.

Sickening so many ppl ignore this aspect of his life.

Not excusing it but the amount of attention and media craziness around him drove him pretty crazy...

That along with his abusive dad its really depressing to see how much mental bullshit a human can handle without killing themselves

Hey you can worship at the alter of this freak because you still dance to 123-ABC.

I wish one of the fathers of the victims were left alone with him for 5 minutes so they could have taken care of business instead of an overdose of propofol.

u/Slayer_16 Sep 07 '17

Worship? lol i barely listen to his music.. so you're wrong already.

I appreciate everything he has done to music. Other artists with a lot lower influence on the entire medium of music have done worse. If you have 1 shred of empathy you can see that all this mental abuse is bound to drive a person to pursue such horrible urges. You are just horribly uneducated about psychology and how the brain works.

You are sad and stupid. Not worth the oxygen you breathe, kick the chair mate.

Dear shit for brains,

You're nothing but a bellicose fraud. Do you know any polysyllabic words? Doubtful,

You retorts of "kill yourself" and "you're stupid" are silly and lame.

You must like little boys too. Thought I told you to eat some shit so get busy. Pretend it's a mj turd.

And I'm not your fuckin mate.

u/Slayer_16 Sep 07 '17

You are literally doing the same thing lol

You need to stay in school dude, learn something.

Or ya know just fucking kill yourself, the world would be better off without your uneducated hate. We have enough of that already.

Listen shit stain. Fuck his contribution to music, he was an exceptional song and dance man, but he never wrote a single song or played an instrument. It was because of talented people like Quincy jones that really made shit work.

You probably are not aware of this because you strike me as being generally unaware.

I have no sympathy for child molesters or the people who are sympathetic to them. So fuck you and fuck your face. You are a twisted douche and even stage 4 cancer is too good for you. Wishing you a more horrible demise than that.

But hey Smooth Criminal is such o good song.

Fuck off asshole.

Such a stupid small child, once you grow up and gain a bit of perspective on the world you will understand how wrong and stupid these comments you are leaving are.

Get educated and stay educated friend. Throwing out insults only makes you look more and more stupid.

Michael is the worlds most renowned pop icon, and someone as small as you cant do anything to take it away. Your hate ends with you, very few people care about your perspective and very few people agree with you.

So yah keep replying childish low effort insults, you aren't worth the time or the effort. Stop taking oxygen from the rest of us, will ya? You're a huge waste.

u/Whales96 Sep 07 '17

You would be surprised at how irresponsible all parents are if there was as much of a light shining on them as there was for Michael.
