"Dad, is an eclipse when the stars disappear?"

"No, no sun, son."

You have a downvote from someone else. Wear it with pride!

At least it doesn't have the punchline in the title like the post from 1 month ago.

What did the lady say to Michael Jackson on the beach?

"You're in my sun!"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Stop it. Jackson was never convicted criminally, found guilty in any of the civil suits, and the accusers appeared to fraudsters and in debt. His last years were miserable from people making false claims. Go pick on one of the million pedophiles in the church or politics.

Pff, give me a break. The way the guy behaved and that details provided by the guys who became his "close friends" tell otherwise. Was he talented? Absolutely. Did he have issues? Yup.

You going to tell me Bill Cosby was an upstanding citizen next? How about Jeffrey Epstein? They're all just misunderstood or media hit jobs, right?

The core point here is you are making a pedophile joke about someone who doesn't deserve it. So fuck you. I'm not saying he deserves citizen of the year, but that's a long way from being a punchline about raping a child.

Everybody who was exploited as a child has issues. Britney Spears, Michael, etc have all been in show business since they should have been learning to print. Are they fucked up? You bet, but they never got a childhood so maybe we can cut them some slack.

There are some protections now so Emma Watson, Daniele Radcliffe, Miley Cyrus had some protection, but those earlier generations had nothing.

Based on what I've seen, I think he was a pedophile too and would have gotten what was coming to him. Perhaps that's why he needed to be on pain killers in the first place.

That's my view and I'm allowed to have it. I'm not going around telling people to go fuck themselves now, am I?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This is why he was on pain killers. https://youtube.com/watch?v=eZ3d1Cp8wts

And you are not entitled to your own facts, particularly when you are slandering people.

I'm glad you are the sole owner of truth, and hope that never changes. I will most definitely go watch some video like this is a debate of some kind. You know what it means when you reduce your opponent to name calling? You've won the argument. Go home, we're done here.

Anytime. Cheers.
