We all know that Michael Jackson died a couple weeks ago. I don't intend to offend Michael or his fans, but in my opinion we need to get over his death. Every channel I go to on TV it talks about him and it's been many weeks since his death. They're always saying, "Rest in peace Michael Jackson." and such. I respect Michael and his fans, but seriously...I think we all know now that we want michael to rest in peace and we hope he does.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn&#039;t serve the world. There&#039;s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won&#039;t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It&#039;s not just in some of us, it&#039;s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.<br /> -Marianne Williamson

I completely agree! There has been too much talk about his death...and I get it, he was a legend, and I was a semi-fan too, but yeah. Wherever I go, people were always talking about it, so yeah, they needed to stop.

Michael Jackson is a legend, some people still can't believe he died. People do talk alot about his death though. Im not really sure if i agree or disagree.

anyone that "committed suicide for michael jackson" already had major issues and probably would have offed themself for some other silly reason anyway, without michael's death.

I believe that it is perfectly ok for people to still talk about Micheal Jackson. He was a LEGEND! He was the king of pop! I loved his songs and everything. If you have watched his "testimony" at the court, he is only guilty of being hot. He is and was hot. Sure, he did a few surgeries, but that is no reason to look down on someone. Dolly Parton is another example. A lot of people do wierd things, but who knows why!! So I say, who cares!!!

I agree. I love MJ and all his music, but come on. Lets be reasonable. He was just a man. It was ok the first couple of weeks, but after that, it was just too much.
