Anyone else think this is disgusting? (michael jackson half dollar)

A lot of people are accused of bad things all the time. If you pay them $20 Million to shut up it raises a load of suspicion in my eyes. Lump him with murders ? No. Lump him with suspected child molesters ? Yes. No Coin of any kind. Just My Opinion............................John

I think that Michael Jackson's life started with the 2 pathetic parents he had, and ended with him trying to reclaim his youth,working out with Lou the hulk, and a "candy" doctor to do a tour. I certainly do not want to judge him, but he is nowhere as bad as many of today's sports heroes for example. The real heroes of the world continue to work away in anonymous lives providing the means for the success the others obtain.

The coin may be fitting as it is a thin veneer of a person, who could have solved many problems for the world if his efforts had been focused on such.

good point there

Yes you do have a good point there, he was helping the world in the 80's with the we are the world and usa for africa, donating his time and energy to saving those that were less fortunate, so thats a point for the younger darker skinned unique MJ, 1 less point for the older lighter skinned uniquely looking MJ. I just have to say, I'm a child of the 80's so when I made the post, I was pointing it more towards the MJ we all know today, not the MJ that was breaking new ground in the 80's. I even had thriller on vinyl, was one of the millions that stayed up late to watch the making of and the MTV World premiere video/movie of THRILLER. So don't get me wrong, I don't have much respect for the latter one, but the earlyer one I have huge respect for, I just wish I/we all knew why and where everything went wrong with MR. BEAT IT. Billy Jean is looking for you, where did you go?

 

Eeew gross ..how dare they celebrate the 4th like this ...the horror I tell you !

I think it is bad

Because ITS bad, ITS bad-come on
(bad bad-really, really bad)
You know ITS bad, ITS bad-you know it
(bad bad-really, really bad)
You know ITS bad, ITS bad-come on, you know
(bad bad-really, really bad)
And the whole world has to answer right now
Just to tell you once again,
ITS bad . . .

 

Hey, if it sells it sells. What I think is disgusting is how the mainstream media over focuses on his death while horrendous legislation is being slipped through Congress and while a former congresswoman's ship was hijacked and she was thrown in prison.

 

Whoa, what happened? Maybe you should 'splain over in the "general discussion area". I'd really like to know about this one. Wasn't anything on CNN 'bout this. Or was there?

She's out now.

 

Thanks for the link Bill.....

 

No for that discussion you would have to go to politics and world religion forum. I personally think he does not deserve a coin - even a sticker on coin. To me that is like putting OJ on a coin - neither deserve it. But people in general will always eat up anything that has to do with stars - I mean how do you think certain magazines stay in business. Sheesh - I personally could care less and even less if they put them on coins. I would rather have a deceased president on a coin.

 

It could happen in "general" but I hear ya....

 

why honor a pedophile? and a crazy peterpan nut job?

the POS is dead so let's stop talking about the "it"

 

can the children defend themselves that this pedophile "played with"?

and 2nd just cause the POS was not found guilty doesn't mean crap since it was in the same area that the OJ trial was...and how many people actually think OJ shoulda walked?
something to think about...

 

There is nothing wrong with these...people have a right to produce them (I assume) and sell them and if people want one...where is the harm? I would never buy such garbage but there is a lot of garbage out there being sold that I would not buy and I find tacky but people still buy it as there is a market for it....leave all the good coins for us collectors.

 

I'm not going to start a roll collection or even buy one. If I do, then please kill me.

If this manufacturer had some marketing savy, then they would have issued one for each LP or year of Jackson's life & offered free coin boards for bidiots to fill each hole.

Very best regards,

Michael Jackson does not deserve to be on a coin

 

People people whos cares, concern your self with things that really matter

People people who cares, concern your self with things that really matter.

I could care less if they sell this junk, they ain't selling it to me. I got bigger fish to fry them getting worked up about trash like this.

 

I just wish all this B&S about Michel Jackson would end!

 

When I was a kid in the 1960's, people would punch an engraving of John Kennedy
on a Lincoln penny and sell it as "Kennedy looks at Lincoln".

Nothing really changes
