Note to self: NEVER go to Golden Corral ever again. Ugh, it's the first all-you-can-eat I've done since being banded, and it was not a good idea. Well, actually it wasn't MY idea, but next time I will just tell DH to go by himself. I certainly didn't do as badly as I once did, but for being banded, a normal-sized meal is a no-no. And I swear, I wonder if my doctor took all my fill out when I went in for my overfill. He SAYS he got me down from 5.8 to 5, but I am now wondering if he took OUT 5. I've been pretty hungry since that unfill. :thumbdown: And yes, I'm tired of waiting too, heartfire.

I guess that's the thing, NYC_gal. He mad a lot of bad choices which made him very easy fodder for the media, and now all of a sudden they are fawning all over him. If even half of what we read about him was true, he was a truly freaky person, and not in a good way. At the very least, he chose to do some very questionable things with young boys and abused himself with drugs. He endangered at least one of his children, and he couldn't even live on hundreds of millions of dollars. Yes, I liked most of his music and even have one of his albums, but is that really all it takes for people to forget that he was likely a child molester and give him a pass? Are some really that shallow?

It's very apparent you have a need to be the center of everything, but you're not. Nor do you know when to stop.

THIS is what I'm talking about. Nobody has done any such thing, BJean, and you're simply proving to me that you can't debate whatsoever. You did all you could to goad conservatives onto this thread, then when you got responses that don't agree with you, you call them negative and hateful. I've done my part, kept my promise, but apparently things have not changed on your end. Consider me out.

Sounds like my pot-smoking days. :thumbdown:

Well, we know which one you are, so I guess I'm the lush? Which means I need to get drinking -- and I'm late getting started. :thumbdown:

It wasn't because I disagree with you, though I never called you stupid.

Well, you have to know, it all depends on how much money you have. If you're just some NORMAL freak-tard, it's not okay.

So what would convince you, video? I mean, where there is smoke there is fire. The secret room off his bedroom doesn't convince you? How about the alarm buzzers and cameras he had in the hallway approaching his bedroom? Or the "happy juice" he was feeding these kids? I'm surprised sleeping with children isn't enough for you. And I'm not giving the parents slack. They were probably bought off or simply dazzled by his celebrity.

People have NOOOOO idea. I have proof. Video proof. It's making the rounds on the internet as we speak. In Germany. It's the only place that will accept such debauchery and shenanigans.

Um, do you really think that a child molester says, "Yeah, well that little boy's bum just looked SO inviting and I was feeling lonely..."??? Considering what you claim you went through, I would think you'd be wiser about all of this.

Thanks, CC. :thumbdown:

Darlin', you're not even on my radar. Who's talking about you anymore? I asked you questions, you claimed I was bashing you, then you admitted that you wouldn't let your son sleep with anyone. Yet somehow Michael was an innocent little man-child. It's over.

Because... you read minds? :thumbdown:

And don't forget the "happy juice" (wine) he was feeding them. Or the secret room. Oh, and I just got reminded about the buzzers that went off in the hallway as people approached his bedroom (the one where the secret room was off of). Or the cameras. Yes, all very innocent. *roll eyes*

Yeah, I know... I still hold onto this old-fashioned notion that creepy chimp-loving, mask-wearing, baby-dangling, crotch-grabbing pervs should not be sleeping with other people's children. Guess I need to grow up and get with the program.

I'll let your age and inability to read what's being said speak for itself.

Who's attacking you? I asked you: "But he WASN'T a little boy, he was a grown man! So... would you let any 40-something man sleep in bed with your kid/s during a slumber party? Forget that it's Michael Jackson... would you let ANY grown man sleep in bed with your kid/s??" That was based on your comment: "He thought he was a little boy...there was nothing dirty about him sleeping in a bed with kids when they were having a sleep over!" I think your sentiment is foolish. I questioned you legitimately as to whether you would allow your child/ren to sleep with some neighbor guy during a sleepover. In what was is that attacking you? Trust me, if I was attacking you, you'd know it. And thus far I have bitten my tongue with your comments to the point of drawing blood.

But you're bitching about the bashing.

Rodriguez, it's a RANT thread. If you don't like how it comes across, there's this little button called NEXT that you can find something more to your liking.

Then show some personal accountability and stay out of a thread entitled "I DON'T CARE: A MICHAEL JACKSON RANT" for crying out loud...

I'm glad I waited a second and saw your post below hers because I was gonna let fly with some very colorful language that would not be anywhere as delicate and proper as yours is... words pertaining to the stupidity and absurdity of youth today, for a start. :thumbdown:

But he WASN'T a little boy, he was a grown man! So... would you let any 40-something man sleep in bed with your kid/s during a slumber party? Forget that it's Michael Jackson... would you let ANY grown man sleep in bed with your kid/s??

I'm with ya, Glouc, just so you know. What we revere these days is alarming. Look at the other pop star that people can't get enough of. :thumbdown:

Bush was no walk in the park, but Obama sucks. Taking over private businesses and trying to socialize medicine... well, all I can say is welcome to Big Brother and government intervention into your lives like never before.
