Ah, I see now. That is a pretty interesting argument.

Still bullshit to say that they're the pretty much the exact thing. I don't feel the need to go into it, but with this logic being gay is the same as being a murderer or any horrible habit persecuted by civilized man. It's dumb to put it this way.

Besides, one is who you're attracted to being the same sex and the other is being attracted to minors who have no idea what the hell is going on. If it involves RAPE, then it is wrong.

Was there any solid evidence that he was a pedophile?

No. He liked being around kids so people thought he was a pedophile but when you look at his whole life he just wanted to stay a kid and live like one(look at his home for god sake).
 
Is this real?

I see a thread about MJ having a heart attack, everyone is laughing and making puns, I go jogging, I come back and the thread is called RIP MJ 1958-2009.


Wow
 
Oh god fucking no.. :( that's so sad. He's one of my biggest inspirations! The fucking stage presence of the guy. Stage magic. Damn.
 
I'm not going to derail this thread into this further (and I don't want to get banned) but I think you guys bash Guybrush just because you don't want to hurt anyone by comparing them into what you define as monster (Pedophiles). If you think about it, intellectually, he's pretty much right. Whatever though, this is not the thread for this discussion.


I was never a fan, but I did enjoy his music, RIP.

Oh I agree there. I think it should be obvious that pedophelia is still absolutely wrong to act on, but Guybrush didn't really put it that way.

This is the biggest death in this millennium.

Uh, Michael Jackson is bigger than both those 2 put together and multiplied by 10. If he's really dead, we're going to hear about this for months.

edit: I saw what you posted.

No it isn't. He acted like a child, he wanted to be a child which meant he wanted to be around kids. Never meant he was a pedophile.
No offense because you're not the first person to say such a thing, but this seems incredibly naive.

I was in a bar a few nights ago and they played some Jacko in the background. I can't even remember the song (pre-Bad though). When he was good he was fucking good.

O hell yeah. I was at a Halloween Rave some years back and the closing song was Thriller at like 5 in the morning. Everyone was going nuts. Fucking Awesome.

MJ ... it's a shame you were so effed in the head. Child touching issues etc etc. You were once amazing and then slowly went down a self destructive path. RIP and may people remember you for your earlier years.

Honestly though, I'm genuinely shocked at the outpouring of emotion over this. I thought his star had diminished. Apparently not. By my recollection the first impact of this is bigger than George Harrison's death.


I remember firefighters covered in 9/11 dust going to strawberry fields in NYC to lay flowers for George Harrison.

Except a pedophile rapes children and gay people just date the same sex.

I'm quoting this because it's actually what I think the original guy may have meant. I know people will be horribly offended, but if you think about it on a scientific level

Yeah, I really don't think Guybrush meant what a lot of people think he meant. He just choose his words pretty poorly.

Same here. My bro in law said "Dude he isn't dead! Get off TMZ".

My fiancee is arguing this, since she's watching CNN.com. She says "TMZ is just gossip, he's not dead".

CNN leaked part of their obit in their update:

Asked specifics of the patient's condition, the spokesman said he could not discuss them because of federal privacy laws.


The music icon from Gary, Indiana, was known as the "King of Pop."

Jackson was the seventh of nine children in a well-known musical

Notice the last two sentences, in past tense.
 
Why is amirox saying he's guilty ? There is still people thinking he's a pedophile even if we know the case was 100% lies ? I mean wtf is this shit doing in this thread
 
Again, while he may not be dead, if he wasn't breathing when they found him and he's in a coma now, odds are he'll at the very least lose significant functionality in his limbs, brain, etc... odds of a successful comeback tour are roughly zero. It would honestly probably be better for his legacy for him to die now.

Fuck off it's goddamn obvious the guy was a fucking child rapist. He's a despicable human being for that shit.

Like everyone has said though, that doesn't really change that Thriller is one of the best albums of all time.

I didn't know MJ's butler(ie. Acid08) posted on GAF...

FWIW, you know about as much as the rest of GAF about whether he was truly guilty or not, and that is that you know jack all about it.
 
Guybrush Threepwood said:
uh... they are almost exactly the same thing.

It's the sexual actions that come from being a pedophile or a homosexual that are different.
I can kind of see where he's coming from with this - they're both mental quirks that result in (I'm saying this in the least offensive way possible) abnormal sexual characteristics. The difference is that one is okay to act on, the other usually involves rape. It's not his fault if he's a pedophile, it's his fault if he actually molests kids.

Not phrased well at all, though.
