So, remember that Santa Hat debate I posted? Yeah, well that same guy is back.. So, he didn't know who 2pac was, and I told him that in terms of popularity and message he was the Michael Jackson of rap.. So, he decided to bring up that Michael Jackson was an awful person all around and had absolutely no positive message towards society, just because he wasn't entirely.. Well.. Sane. I think that he did have a very positive message, even if he was messed up. What do you guys think?

*takes a DEEP breath*
...okay.
1 - this guy give me the impression of having some issues 2 - his argument has no place in that discussion - even if MJ had no positive message, he's still the King of Pop 3 - Poe wasn't entirely sane either. Neither was Gogh, Einstein, or Steve Irwin. Sanity is not a requirement to have a positive influence on society 4 - I've lost my train of thought. So I'm going to drink Egg Nog.
Michael was a good man. He was a deranged man, but he was a good man. He changed the music scene. He was the King of motherf***ing Pop The last "king" in music was Elvis - that's pretty damn impressive. He invented the moon walk, he made music videos an art form, he had some of the coolest scenes ever put on video (See: The entire damn music video for Smooth Criminal)
Michael Jackson was AWESOME.
And, honestly - who doesn't want a zombie apocalypse now, knowing that he'll return, and bring his moves with him?

Your friend's an idiot. We know...
You're friend is as immature as I would expect. Arrogant, ignorant, and frankly, not worth my time.
I say drop him.
Michael Jackson was one of the most influential artists of his time and even our time.

I agree with everyone who has posted so far.

Lol - Okay, here's the possible debate!
Honestly, I just think MJ was an absolute creep who just happened to be a tremendously talented entertainer and musician.

He was creepy, but he was definitely not a pedophile or anything. His stupid father abused him as a child and took his entire childhood away. Michael was mentally scarred, and when he had the chance, he would hang around little kids. It was, in his mind, to get his childhood back.
That's why he is so incredibly creepy, too.

I've heard that before. That was how my 7th grade history teacher explained it.

Yeah. I've heard he wasn't a pedophile too. Did you hear that the second family who sued him had actually sued a few celebrities before him to make money.

The people who sued him are complete and utter douchebags. They ruined his reputation, and nearly his whole life.
