6. yeah sure. why not? We honor presidents who were murderers.
not in the "they declared war" variety but ones who fought in duels like ANdrew Jackson.

We honor presidents who FUCKED their slaves and made babies with them.

People should quite being so idiotic. MJ was acquitted of all charges and there is no denying his tremendous humanitarian work that started LONNNNGGG before all the pedophilia accusations came up. (So it's not like those efforts were just his penance).

15. I'd forgotten about that one
THAT was the one that they ended up repealing after its trial period was over. I knew there was something, but I just couldn't remember what it was. :rofl:

Someone told me there was something else here that didn't last long, that happened in the last year or so. I wanna say it was a Slashdot-style moderation feature? I don't know for sure though, and I have my doubts even about that.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi shut the door Thursday to a resolution honoring Michael Jackson because debate on the symbolic measure could raise "contrary views" about the pop star's life.

Lawmakers are free to use House speeches "to express their sympathy or their praise any time that they wish," said Pelosi, D-Calif. "I don't think it's necessary for us to have a resolution."

A resolution sponsored by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, cites some of the singer's charitable acts and proclaims him an American legend, musical icon and world humanitarian.

Even before Pelosi's comments, some Democrats said privately they did not support the resolution and a divisive debate would hurt House efforts to muster the votes for priorities such as health care and climate change.
