Seriously, I'm pretty sure you guys wouldn't care if a homeless man died. Just because he's a stranger. But I'm pretty sure a homeless man would have it harder than some celebrity. I bet a majority thought MJ was horrible because of his plastic, and his fake nose. Why would care about him now? It doesn't make a difference. Everyone dies. I'll probably get flamed a bunch because of this. Maybe it's just because I don't feel sympathy for MJ. + These threads are annoying, which are hypocritical toward me, but seriously. Why? EDIT : I hope you guys know I'm not talking about people who don't use BasilMarket. I'm WELL AWARE that he has a major impact on hip-hop, and urban culture. If he influenced you, HOW? And what did he inspire you to do?

I don't care that much. Frankly, these hysterics over dead celebrities irk me, at least in this case, when they take over most/all of Chat section. Not really the only reason, but whatev.

Well it's always a sad moment when someone dies (unless it's like Hitler or something). Except that we actually know that Michael Jackson died and that also means that no more music from him.

Because he just died, but some people are taking it too seriously.

Maybe because he was more of an influence to people than "a homeless man." You may not be capable of sympathy, but are you capable of thinking?

It's perfectly normal for young performers to die of cardiac arrest.

Most are just pretending to care. He was famous so... Nobody knows the jobless man well enough to care.

He died so fast, he was well known as the 'king of pop.'
