Of course that it's always about the Laws and money. Such cars as that from the picture are nothing impossible to be realized or created. And of course a  &lt;a rel="follow" href="http://www.estatecarinsure.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;cheap car insurance&lt;/a&gt; would always be in the car's favor and nothing above the law. Besides you have the possibility to save some money as well and to keep the car as new as possible for a long period.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">DeboraB</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 27 Nov 2009 12:18:45 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Georgia On My Mind.</title><link>http://captaindigital.net/?p=162#comment-22819660</link><description>Interesting post.

I mean...WOW. Did you even READ my post? Put the Kool-Aid down for a sec and go re-read it. I didn't condemn him. I acknowledged his talent. I also noted that he led a sad life. And died young, largely because he didn't have limits - on himself, or coming from those that were supposed to care from him. But whack-jobs like you bear some guilt, too. If you can't look at those you admire and see not just the good, but the flaws, then you've moved from admiration to a card-carrying member of a hero-worshiping cult.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Call me when the shuttle lands.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">captaindigital</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 29 Sep 2009 00:56:43 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: About</title><link>http://captaindigital.net/?page_id=88#comment-17757885</link><description>Um...WHAT?!

My statement about him being his "own" person stems from the idea that he should take responsibility for himself and that since so many people want to blame the public I think they should give him more credit for his life- both the good and the bad! I don't think you can say how amazing he is without pointing out his downfalls, without one you could not have the other. More personally I was making no reference to his personal life more so about his role as a performer, entertainer and a charitable figure.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">contessa188</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 17 Aug 2009 09:45:14 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Who gets Jeep?</title><link>http://captaindigital.net/?p=709#comment-14824542</link><description>Its really sad to hear that Chrysler is going down.

You may think his behaviour was bizaar or weird but that does not make him a child molestor.  The first child refused to testify against Michael and didn't even make the claims himself at first it was his 'wannabe' producer father.  If it was your son who was molested you would not accept any amount of money but would want the accuser to go to jail.  There were many circumstances surrounding the decision to pay the money, Michael wanted to fight it but he was ill advised by his then wife, lawyers and insurance company.  He learned that lesson and was not about to let that happen to him again the second time when he did decide to fight it in court.  There was not one shred of evidence found by a very determined police prosecutor and had they found any evidence, they would not have required permission from anyone to charge Michael.  That is an offence that would have to be punished regardless.  So get your facts right before you pass judgement.  This is exactly why Michael was pushed to the edge in the first place.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">antoinetteK</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 10 Aug 2009 19:48:39 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Michael Jackson and web traffic.</title><link>http://captaindigital.net/?p=799#comment-14605047</link><description>Many of us fans do point the finger at ourselves but I for one am sorry that I did abandone Michael Jackson during those years he needed to be believed.  I was not fanatical and did not follow the story of his life until now.  The reason I am so fascinated by him is because I had not realised that he was actually innocent of those child molestation charges until now.  I had not really looked into it or read anything or even watched anything.  I only heard about it on the news or in passing the newspaper stands etc.  I didn't even believe it at first but I began to wonder why these things were happening to him, not realising the actual facts of the events.  When he did it effected me in a way that really surprised me.  I did not know that I cared so much.  That is when I began to dig up articles and read the transcripts of the court cases and watch the interviews and that is when I realised he was innocent and was a victim of tabloid vilification.  I felt deeply sad for him.  The only tragic thing about his life was that that was all the media wanted us to see.  There was a lot of good things in his life too and I believe he was a strong willed individual who naievely trusted too many people he should have not trusted.  He should have listened to those who really loved him but how was he to really know the difference.  Look at his life - he never was given a proper chance to grow up.  Anyway, all of that is too late now but the saga continues.  People continue to lie and people still see dollar signs connected to the name of Michael Jackson and always will.  I know he is finally at rest and hope that his children will not face the same problems he had to face.  RIP Michael.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">antoinetteK</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 10 Aug 2009 19:36:42 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: [BLEEP] This.</title><link>http://captaindigital.net/?p=809#comment-13428487</link><description>Jim: ..

At some point each of us must take responsibility for our actions and our lives. Think about the many talented people that self-destructed - Elvis, Belushi, Morrison, Joplin, Cobain, et all. I believe that most of them (if not all) never had anybody willing to tell them "No." Certainly Elvis surrounded himself with a bunch of people all too willing to let him get away with any behavior (including drug use) no matter how self-destructive. Yet, Elvis had nobody to blame but himself, in the end. My point is that everybody is a product of their upbringing - some are able to overcome childhood problems/abuse/neglect, others not so much. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Oh, and your point about love and parenting were right on target, as well. Thanks for your comments!</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">captaindigital</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 26 Jul 2009 20:40:02 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Michael Jackson and web traffic.</title><link>http://captaindigital.net/?p=799#comment-13365654</link><description>Many, many , many people come from disfunctional families and don't become what MJ became or come to such a tragic end.  He has 8 siblings coming from that same family who did not reach that end -- and Marlon was only year older than Michael, and Randy was YOUNGER than Michael.  He had resources to get help that most people don't have, but decided that he was entitled to do whatever he wanted -- consequences be damned.  I feel sorry for him.  I feel sorry for his children who very likely have spent their entire lives with a barely funtioning parent (their only parent) who was spaced out on drugs almost all the time.  Yes, he may have "loved" them, but love is not a feeling, it is an action.  And Michael Jackson did nothing to help his children have a functioning parent. That makes him a bad father. So enough about Joe Jackson being the bad father.  He got his kids out of poverty and gave them their futures, fortune and fame.  Michael needed to get clean for his kids and even though friends and family tried to get him to do it, he simply refused to even discuss it.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">lilypad</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 26 Jul 2009 19:08:12 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Michael Jackson and web traffic.</title><link>http://captaindigital.net/?p=799#comment-13349876</link><description>Um...maybe...maybe not. Remember, at least one of those cases ended with Jackson paying off the parties that brought up the charges. If I was accused of something that serious, I don't think I'd EVER agree to a payoff. I'd fight the charges with every cent I had. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;By Jackson's own admission, he thought it was "normal" and "okay" to sleep with young kids and teens in his bed. I think that's waaaaaaay over the line of common sense and moral behavior. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just because one case gets thrown out of court or the charges dismissed does not mean you did nothing wrong. It simply means the court did not meet it's burden of proof. (That's why no defendant is ever found "innocent" - they can be found "not guilty" - a subtle legal point, but an important one, nonetheless.) &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I don't know if if Jackson was simply an odd individual who was "persecuted" because of his wealth and fame, or if he was a pedophile. Frankly, I don't really care - as long as no kids are being hurt, it's now a moot point. And I think that any parent - ANY parent - that would entrust their kids to someone, no matter how rich or famous - for overnight stays - should be brought up on child endangerment charges themselves. That whole thing fails my "sniff test" and fails it big time. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To assume Jackson was an innocent man makes me think that his fans are allowing his fame and talent to color their judgement, cutting him slack that nobody else on the planet would get.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">captaindigital</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 26 Jul 2009 08:55:51 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Michael Jackson and web traffic.</title><link>http://captaindigital.net/?p=799#comment-13344366</link><description>You wrote 'accusations'- they were 'false accusations.'

Also he had such little time to grow up in as he was expected to be an adult these things made him suffer dearly. But when he sang and danced he was a different person he was happy and full of life and he tought us things through the words in his songs like Man in the Mirror, Earth Song and Beat it. BUT WHY COULD'NT THE PAPARATSY LEAVE HIM ALONE HE WAS A GOOD PERSON NO MATTER WHAT ANY ONE ELSE SAYS. and Michael Jackson I LOVE YOU AND ALWAYS WILL you are and will be forever be the king of pop!</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">copenhagenbaby</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 14 Jul 2009 14:37:12 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
