"Reasonable sites like fox"

You mean the known to be biased news outlet?

Biased it may be, but i was just listing it as an example, i don't remember the exact sites i read it from, just do a bit of research about the topic before you try to point out information you are not informed about or have a clue about.

You're accusing a man of being a child molester with no sources to back up your claims and i'm the one that is not informed?

It's not that people suddenly start caring when the person dies, it's just brought to their attention.
People are obviously going to say RIP and pay their respects to a dead celebrity, it would be weird if everyone had avatars of Paul Walker before he had died.

Those people who suddenly claim that it's their favourite musician or favourite actor and they love every single one of their songs or films and essentially deify the celebrity are annoying.
But you can't blame people for paying attention to a dead celebrity when it's plastered all over the news.

It's not the fact that i blame them for feeling bad for the person, but somehow if when paul walker died and i claimed i never watched any of his movies or really cared about the dude, everyone would call me a bad person. Same for michael jackson, i never respected him because of what he did to innocent kids, but somehow it makes me a bad person because i don't praise him after he passed. It's not even like i talked bad about him, just if someone asked me what i thought of him, i would tell them that and look like a fool

Michael Jackson didn't do anything to children, the media blew the claims way out of proportion and what kind of family would accept a bribe after it became world knowledge that their son was supposedly abused?
Psychologists determined that he didn't fit the bill of a paedophile, police raided his property numerous times and found nothing to support the claims made by these families, and there is a recording of a phone call by Evan Chandler; "Everything is going according to a plan that isnt just mine and if I go through with this, I win big time. Theres no way I lose. Ive checked that inside and out."

Macaulay Culkin himself has said that there is absolutely no way the claims are true.
There is more than enough evidence to prove MJ's innocence.

I agree though that people shouldn't say you're a bad person simply because you didn't do something or care about a person, however, saying you don't care about a recently deceased person who many people are obviously feeling emotive about probably isn't a good idea.

When I saw this I immediately thought of Paul Walker.

Macaulay was a great fun of michael, I'm sure he would lie for him, but i understand what you are trying to say. For the other part, I just don't understand why people have to grieve for someone they never knew or had no contact to, i don't get why people need to do it. If you are a friend of his or a family member of his then I get it, but if not i see no need

I agree with this, some people take it way to far when they pay their respects to a dead celebrity by basically becoming their biggest fan. It's fine to pay your respects and give the superstar the respect and "honor" they deserve for their hardwork and dedication. But in reality did you really LOVE everything they did? Such as Michael Jackson, I agree with you on the fact that he bought himself out of jail, he was going to face serious jailtime but his family bailed him out.

This has already been said but Paul Walker...
He was in Fast and the Furious and nobody cared... But when he died everyone goes crazy!
No hate I love him!

-Ashley wrote This is how I felt when Paul Walker died.

Nobody cared. Then as soon as passed his name was everywhere. Everyone would say things about him in a really nice way. But if he never passed nobody would have done anything.

Ive personally loved Paul Walker since F&F2, he was a great actor. Ive always thought that.
