      seems like he was a bright, sensitive fellow. They used him, abused him, and fuking killed him. They probably pressured him to do all this shit, though he was clearly sick and weak. And now these same assholes are probably running around pretending to care. What a culture of shit we live in.

        I agree Reno.I'll be the first to admit his death means nothing to me, I feel far more sorry for families who lost loved ones in car wrecks this week.

        That said, he was a victim of the machine, starting with his father, who ironically will probably benefit from his death.

        Although my view of MJ hasn't changed I can see he was doomed from the moment his Father made him a slave to showbiz, and as you rightly say, it's a sad reflection of society as a whole.

            I think the point of the article was to point out he was mentally incapable of being normal thriving.

                I don't blame the father as much as the industry and culture. I'm sure they realize what a valuable commodity he was. I'd guess that they selfishly sucked as much blood out of him as possible. I mean, probably similar thing happened to Tyson.

                And yeah, a lot of stronger people survived much worse. But the thing is he was who he was. He was sensitive. That's probably contributed to his great talent. I mean I appreciate his statement about isolation and his willingness to speak what he believed.
                All that shit with the trials had to take a huge toll on him. If we are to take him at his word and believe that he truly loved and cared about children. To then be accused of molesting children? What an injustice?
