Jackson Biographer: 'I Set Out to Nail Him' {Spinner}
Jul 14th 2009 1:31PM What's interesting in reading all of this is that for those who believe he molested those children, there is a slight chink in the armor of your blame. If in fact the allegations were true (hmmm...he was acquitted), then shame on him. I don't condone any type of harm to children. However, consider this, what parent in their right mind let's their child stay with someone they don't know, unsupervised? What parent in their right mind allows their child, male or female, to spend the night in some grown man's bedroom? They didn't know him, and even if they had, it still would have been an inappropriate situation. So, before you continue to sling mud at this man's supposed actions, you'd better place a good chunk of responsibility on the shoulders of those so-called parents. No real parent does that unless their pimping their child out. And no real parent "takes the money," and allows their child to endure the psychological effects of such an experience. No real parent. So maybe, it really didn't happen. In any case, don't know, don't care, it's irrelevant now. There is no question that the man was a brilliant entertainer, ground-breaking talent, and humanitarian. His music will be remembered for years and years to come. That is what most people are celebrating. The other stuff is still in question, and it's pretty disgusting that now there will be people trying to cash in with so-called "tell alls" and revelations. But, people are people, beautiful and disgusting at the same time. Michael was simply a person...beautiful and perhaps at times disgusting.
RIP Michael
Belichick Should Have Stayed on the Field {Fanhouse NFL Blog}
Feb 4th 2008 1:24AM Sadly this superbowl was a yawner until about the last 8 minutes. Patriots did choke unfortunately. It would have been nice to see them make history, but the better team today won. I personally didn't care who won, so I'm happy for Eli and the Giants, but I would have been happy for the Patriots had they won too. As for Belichek, yes, very classless, and he has proven that consistently. However I think it's important to separate him and his actions he does not represent the entire team. For the most part they've been pretty humble, but at the same time, they do have something to be proud of, so why is everybody hatin'?
The Most Expensive Take-Out? {Luxist}
Mar 11th 2007 1:59AM Man! Could somebody please tell me why people think it is the responsibility of celebrities or the wealthy to clear poverty! Somebody earlier said something about what has he done to help Katrina victims, my question is...what did you do? And how do you know he didn't help? Stop throwing stones people! I agree with The Pool Guy about it being a matter of perspective. America has alot to be grateful for. Even some of the poorest people in this country have it better than those in other lands. For those who are so interested in clearing poverty, think of ways you can do it as well. Next time you see a homeless person, instead of holding a dollar through the crack of your window, with two fingers so they don't touch you, pull over, buy them a meal, and talk to them. Find out how they came to be homeless, and then see if there's something you can do to get them on track. A job feeds a person longer than your wrinkled up pitiful donation. Let's start worrying about what we can do ourselves and stop spending other people's money. Envy is just as ugly a thing as the gluttony and greed you all keep talking about.
The Most Expensive Take-Out? {Luxist}
Mar 9th 2007 11:38AM While I certainly agree that the amount spent as reported in this article was obscene for a take-out meal, I think some of people's disdain over the issue is misplaced. It's a fact that America is completely star-struck. We spend more time worrying about who Angelina is adopting, how many times Brittney leaves or checks into rehab, and how much any of them is spending on things we simply cannot afford. However, rather than complaining, we need to make sure that we instill in our own children the values that are important. We also need to make sure that they understand that there is nothing totally wrong with occasionally indulging themselves when they have achieved success. Many people are pissed to learn what stars spend on "whims," but the reports of what they do that helps foundations or other charities tends to go underreported. The bottom line is that it's not our place to criticize how they spend the money that they earned, nor is it their duty alone to "save the world." The majority of these people (heirs of fortune aside) had to work at their craft in order to reach the status they now enjoy. No offense, but I doubt that when many of these stars that we complain about were poor (and many of them were), anybody was worried about helping them, or if they had shoes etc. So, since complaining about what they do is not going to change a damn thing, perhaps we need to ensure that we work on what we can change, and that is our own mindset and that of the youth we are responsible for. Money and fame has its place, it's our job to make sure they understand what that is when surrounded by those who seem to have forgotten.
