It’s really sad that people would rather allow themselves to suffer this kind of pain without ever even considering reevaluating the facts that could lead them to an alternate outcome  :?

Why can't they donate to Sea Shepherd to save the whales down in the Antartic Circle right now? Or save the Dolphins? Plant some trees? Do something, rather than whine like helpless babes.<br /><br />Do a positive contribution with their lives, rather than take.

This makes me wonder about lawsuits against Michael, after he BAMS, for emotional damage.  Have millions of MJ fans been distaught? Well, I've been deeply emotionally affected, but not as much, because I believe him to be alive.  What would be the legal set-up which would cover MJ against such things?  Anybody know?  He could be liable for Billions with a capitol B!.  I don't think any suits will be successful, but it's going to be interesting for sure!<br /><br />$12,000 (french fan lawsuit) times about 1,000,000 worldwide fans = $12 billion<br /><br />

MJonMind.  True fans wouldn't sue.  They are not fans if they try to get something like that.  Anyway they don't have a case.  Once you start looking at all these websites, clues, blogspots, youtube, facebook and start paying attention you can figure out that this is a death hoax in a couple of hours.  Whoever was interested in finding out could have very easily.

This is just greedy. I can't believe all the different things people come up with to make money off this. "Symbolic euro", lol. A symbolic euro would be starting a charity or donating to one in Michael's name, something to HONOR him, not getting money in his name. Hopefully they do something good with it.
