Why? Because the person doesn't deserve to be made fun of, so making fun of him/her is an infringement on his/her right to the pursuit of happiness.

Now stop stalling with stupid questions and actually explain your argument.
Oh, so you base morality on "I don't like it" after all. Those of us in the real world base morality off of whether or not there is harm. The fact that you're using examples from the Constitution is pretty fucking hilarious though.
Fine then. If you don't think that it's immoral, for this argument I take it back. Now explain to me what evidence you have to him being an asshole.

Trolling it is, at least after Flagg came in here, because its frankly what people who couldn't predict that SW888 would come back and ruin the thread anyway deserve.

Why bother? Frankly I don't give a shit if you think he deserves to be made fun of or not.

Then STFU if you're not going to actually bother to support your facts. Do you understand? Your assertions in this thread have NO credibility if you aren't going to back them up with (gasp!) evidence.

They are jokes. Jesus christ, even when they are true they are exaggurated for effect. Comedy 101, moron.

I didn't make the assertion you seem to think I did. But really, do keep trying.

Except that you made the assertion that he was an asshole and have failed to provide any proof.

You guys also seem to forget that I started this thread with the intention of dispelling rumors about Michael Jackson (some of you don't believe them but still make light hearted jokes, and maybe that's OK). If you believe that I'm wrong and those rumors actually are true, then back up your assertions/try and disprove my claims. This isn't a thread to make fun of him, it's a thread to debate over the validity of those rumors.

I made no such claim, if you seem to think that's the case then it's because you don't know how to read and you're an idiot. Even if I did, so fucking what? It's a subjective claim.

Q:Why isn't all the controversy bothering Michael?
A:He doesn't mind reaching bottom.


Q: Who does Michael Jackson consider a Perfect "10"?
A: Two 5 year olds.

Prince Michael Jackson, Jr. --- you know in a few years they'll probably change his name to:The Child Formerly Known as Michael Jackson's Baby

`What do Michael Jackson & Michael Jordan have in common?
~They both play ball in the Minor League.

`What happens when Michael talks about sex?
~It's all very tongue in cheek.

The Pope has issued a proclamation on Michael Jackson. If he hears any more allegations about little boys, the Pope says he'll have no choice but to make him a priest.

I understand that Micheal decided to have a boy of his own because it's too expensive to rent them at $2 Million a pop.

`What's the difference between Michael and a proctologist?
~A proctologist doesn't pay for the assholes he's poked around in.

`What's the difference between Mr. Potato Head and Michael Jackson?
~Michael Jackson has had more noses.

You honestly think that the right to the pursuit of happiness applies to dead people? :shock:

You implied it and did not deny claiming it for several posts. If you really didn't mean to imply it, you would have denied claiming it instead of backing it up (albeit not with any substantive evidence) until you realize that you can't support the statement and give up on it.

Nobody gives a shit.
Actually, people do give a shit, given that Michael Jackson was the best selling artist in 2009 despite not having released an album since 2001. Not to mention that, if you don't care about the thread topic, why the fuck are you posting in it?

Sweet baby Jesus.

Testing has hit a new low.

I fell down a flight of concrete steps as a kid, yet Formless and StarsWarsWhateverTheFuck manage to out-retard me. :mrgreen:

Here's a hint guys, you're doing it wrong. Just in case you haven't noticed.

You seem incapable of distinguishing a subjective claim from an objective one, I see.

Since you seem to require things to be spoon-fed to you, nobody on this board gives a shit.

Because your fatty nerd-rage amuses me.

It amuses me that you are so easily amused by what amounts to someone's verbal diarrhea used in leu of actual humor or a point.

A subjective claim with no evidence = a baseless subjective claim.

Subjective claims can still be valid, but yours isn't.

Woah woah woah...you're posting in a fucking STAR WARS forum made by an engineer (iirc, and no offense intended to Mike Wong ), and you're accusing me of being a nerd?

Did you just compare Mike to a nerd.

Someone really needs to read the main website a little more carefully.

No, I'm accusing you of being a fat nerd. There's a difference. I don't expect you to understand it.

Star Wars triple-8, I was sorta sincere in my earlier post, so I'll helpfully explain things for you:

Firstly, people are posting to make fun of you, because you take this so seriously and nobody else cares. I'm willing to bet that nobody really cares about Wacko Jacko now that a full year's gone by and the media dropped him, except for a few diehards.

Secondly, "fatty nerd" does not refer to your girth or your nerd status. It is slang for a person that exhibits a certain set of behaviors, namely, acting like the Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons. Odious fellow, wouldn't you agree? Then don't act too much like him.
Invited by the new age, the elegant Sailor Neptune!
I mean, how often am I to enter a game of riddles with the author, where they challenge me with some strange and confusing and distracting device, and I'm supposed to unravel it and go "I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE" and take great personal satisfaction and pride in our mutual cleverness?
