I like The Truth because this is what it's all about in this world full of lies written, printed, spoken and finally spread all around the world.well, then the truth is, in this world of lies, the writers no longer uses the pen anymore anyway...True. Many writers love using the PC. A bit off topic, but as an aspiring author, I love to do rough drafts of my stories in PEN and THEN type them on the PC. :lol:

It's an old proverb I know it's not accurate nowadays but the pen is the most significant object to describe the act of writing and the power of words. Because with a pen you shape each letter yourself, with your hand, you are part of what you write."But with your pen you torture men"MJ

Yes I'm talking about this proverb and find it still up to date even if nowadays we use computers to write. The words are still the same and it's us who use them for good or evil purposes. I love to say that words have the meaning we give them.Good thing that you had to write your thoughts about this proverb. I used to like these kind of homeworks when I was at school .I quoted Tabloid Junkie because Michael uses the word pen in it God bless you.

Even on a typed letter, the signature on the paper is what makes the letter sincere, and in other cases as well... :geek:
I have often noticed this term "The Haters". What brought on this "Hate" of MJ? Did this hate exist prior to the False Allegations? Are Haters Primarily Male or are there Female Haters too? Does anybody here know a "hater" personally? If so; why do they hate him? (Is it simply due to his skin color change? or does it go deeper than that?) Are Haters people who are confused about their own sexuality and resent the fact that MJ's Androgynous Look turned them on? Any insights into this would be appreciated 'cause I just don't understand it :|
The following is a column that was published in my local newspaper Sunday, July 5, 2009. After reading it, in that moment, I felt my hometown was "the skunk of the world". This was before I had any idea that Michael had hoaxed his death. This article just added to the heartbreak of his "passing". I felt anger towards the writer, I was embarrassed for her, and ashamed for and of her. The fact that the newspaper would print such vitriolic garbage was inconceivable to me. What was clear was that the author was a bonafide MJ hater. "Masks", by Adele Elliot It is said that by age 50 we have the face we deserve. For most of us that is a reflection of life and experience. At middle age, we can polish that face with a smile or, for women, a bit of lipstick and blush. However, except for extreme plastic surgery (and excluding the picture of Dorian Gray), we are pretty much forced to wear the results of the life we lived. Events and emotions of our past are etched around our eyes and impossible to hide with anything offered at the cosmetic counter. These last two weeks we have been forced to see Michael Jackson's garish face ad nauseam. Television seems to be all Michael, all the time. Throughout the country fans are wailing, in the throes of inconsolable grief over the death of an (alleged) pedophile. Why? He is being lauded for dance steps and music videos. He had talent, to be sure. But, in my mind, he will always be a monster who was accused of abusing children. From "innocently sleeping with little children" to dangling his own (?) progeny from a balcony, this man was vile. Historically, evil outlives good in human memory. Does anyone remember that Hitler was a painter? Did you know that Charles Manson was a musician and wrote songs that are still performed by Guns N' Roses? Probably not. My friend, Karen Berger, writes from New Orleans, "I believe Michael Jackson is responsible for young men walking around all the time with their hands on their crotch. He introduced America to this by doing it to himself while dancing." But, this column is not really about a has-been pop star and the circus that surrounds his death. His eulogy will be written by better scribes than I. My real concern is why we let people get away with such wickedness. It appears that we are blinded by fame or wealth or status. Why are some acts criminal only for some people? If a local child were molested by a trench coat-wearing stranger at the Riverwalk, the citizens of Columbus would be relentless in our search for the offender. Why is it different when malevolence wears glitzy clothes and picks that child up in a stretch limo? And why do we cover up and excuse horrifying behavior in those who should be role models? A few years ago, in New Orleans, there was the sensational case of Boy Scout Troop leaders abusing the scouts on campouts. For decades, the Catholic Church reassigned pedophile priests, covering their tracks and horrific actions. Sometimes very sick people choose honorable professions, like coaching and education, based on proximity to children. Often, they get away with it for a very long time. The idea of blind justice is a farce. She peeks from beneath that blindfold, modifying her verdict based on the prominence and affluence of the accused. Those who have the right connections and the right clothes appear to be immune to retribution. I truly believe that Michael Jackson hated himself. The well-published defenses of his actions do not ring true in the knowledge that he paid vast sums of money to his victims. (As did the Catholic Church.) But, my theory of his self-loathing is based primarily on his face. With multiple cosmetic surgeries he transformed a relatively nice face into a horror movie-type man/woman mask. We must wonder what he really saw when he looked at "the man in the mirror"? For the rest of us, I suppose we should learn to love those little lines, they tell much about our journey. We might try, however, to peek behind the masks of others. Not all monsters have faces that are bleached and terrifyingly distorted like the late, and very talented, Mr. Jackson.

I think people are Haters because they wish they had something the person who is on the receiving end of their hate has. It's all about jealousy and envy and the person who is doing the hating not being happy with themselves. I think Haters are people who are ignorant. If you are happy with yourself, and you stay focused on God's plan for your life you don't have the time nor the desire to be a Hater. You will be focused on making a difference in life and uplifting people like MJ wanted to do.
