I visit many other boards of different artists, and while there is certainly some truth to what you're saying I have to say that I really found a lot of other artists' fans to admire MJ as an artist, singer and dancer. I have encountered people on other boards who were thrilled about his concerts and tried to get tickets. It's not all bad. In fact, I was surprised how many had a positive attitude towards MJ as an artist.
I don't think it's right to counter one injustice with another injustice. Many artists have respect for MJ, it isn't their fault that the media has been so tough on him. I don't care if there are fans of a certain band that may bash MJ, if I like that artist or band, the fans' opinion on MJ doesn't prevent me from doing so.
it's easy to give the 'high road' opinion, but i doubt that if you are encountered with that kind of treatment head on, that you will not retaliate. i have yet to see anyone give the high road teaching and also practice what they teach. the number of haters toward MJ isn't some..it's massive. youre gunna see it the way ur gunna see it. but i doubt you'll see pedophile thrown at u on a regular basis. those who u r mentioning would get tickets to his concert, who are usually haters..we already know that. haters can't resist great music either..but that doesn't excuse their behaviour.
we're not countering injustice with injustice...we are knee jerk reacting to great pain.
and ultimately, when we are finished with our natural reaction, we go back to calm waters..but never, during that reaction, do we personally attack other artists. i didn't call bono a pedophile, for example..or something on that level to equal what has been thrown at Michael.
ultimately it is phony to preach about the high road, because you, all other people, animals..and the gods of peoples' religions all retaliate to injustice. cornered animals, attack...bees sting if u invade their space.. this is the high road, the road of justice, because, ultimately it teaches you a lesson..that you cannot just run lawless and rampant without a response. einstein's theory is about action..opposite equal reaction. pls don't preach about some high road that you yourself do not follow. no one follows that 'high road'. no one. it's universal law. everybody reacts the same to pain.
Michael's reaction just happens to be through his music. not all fans have that outlet.
D.S. spoke of Sneddon, as if he might work for the KKK...
you mistreat the earth, the earth will make you pay. you'll be without resources.
so this myth about nothing is supposed to happen to you when you run lawless is just a myth. again..the high road is the thing that teaches you never to take the low road again. there can be methodical, clever, controlled ways for the reaction to happen, but the reaction still happens. the whole universe follows that rule..what makes you think you can be convincing in saying you don't follow that rule?
Even when Dr. Martin Luther King and Ghandi responded to injustice, it was with powerful cutting words. (words that made the enemies want to destroy them.) the myth that that is a peaceful reaction, is just that..a myth. but it was a heroic way for those heroes(King and Ghandi) to respond.
so no one in this thread is more or less respectful than anyone else in here.
I love them all!
