Either way, I like George Michael.

Me too :wub:

Anyways, he smokes a bit of weed - big ****ing deal, it's not as if he has hurt anyone.

Let's face it he'll have the time of his life where he's going, he was originally sentenced to 4 weeks but he argued em up.

On a serious note though, it might have only been a bit of weed, but don't forget he's been sent down for driving under the influence of it. I bet people wouldn't be so flippant if he'd run over a kiddy, the bloke's done some cracking music but he's a public menace

No not yet but it would be a real shame if he crashes his car under the influence and takes a life, right? Or kills a child? Crushes some poor person in between his car and a wall... person who's got kids and a life and a job.. Runs some child over and devastates their parents lives forever?
That would be a big ****ing deal, right?

I've got no problem with people smoking their dope at home, but it's when they get in a car and drive under the influence. Same as drunk driving... but you probably don't say 'Big ****ing deal.. he drinks a bottle of wine before he gets into his car, it's not like he's hurt anyone'....

Apparently, when he hit the shop, someone spray painted the word 'WHAM' onto it. :lol:

He didn't hurt anyone and that is the point. Hurting someone is a different thing altogether, but I hear ya. :)

He's bloody lucky he didn't hurt anyone. He could do. Anyone that takes a chance with other people's lives needs their head read. I love his music but he's being an arse. How old is he again? 18? Needs to grow up.

YEs The reason he went to jail is that he risked killing and hurting people by driving all drugged up, its not an excuse that no one was hurt by good luck

Stupid thing to do and he has got away with it for too long now, I agree that smoking pot is fine if no one else is getting hurt, but driving whilst under the influence is not a good idea, we all know it slows down your reactions and probably the worst thing to do whilst stoned is to drive. :blink:

Sometimes people have to hit rock bottom before they face up and make changes: I don't think GM is there yet.

I'm a huge fan of George but he's got away with his behaviour for too long. He doesn't believe he needs help or counselling. He's happy with the life he's living and knows he's been lucky to get away with it for so long, from what I've read. He's wealthy enough to have a permanent driver so I don't know why he's continued to get behind the wheel.

Just wish he'd realise that his best work came from a clear head but it's his life. Wish even more he'd come up to Brissie for a concert earlier in the year, would love to have seen him again.

I don't think his sentence is harsh either. He's got the same as anyone else finally.
Money doesn't buy you everything. Hope he learns from it.

Someone should show him this:

I agree to a certain extent, but someone with a drug, alcohol and sex addiction has complicated issues including accepting his sexual orientation.

He is an extremely talented singer - I love his voice and romantic songs - I hope he gets the counselling he needs before its too late.

Not offering counselling to someone they have thrown in ail is not at all helpful. His issues are "social problem" not criminal problems....

1984 : "I don't want your freedom"
1990 : "Praying for time."
2010 : George's prayers finally answered.

Read in paper a couple of months ago that he had bought a house in Whale Beach Rd (not a cheap place to buy a house), near Palm Beach, Northern Beaches, Sydney and was going to live here for 6 months of the year as he fell in love with the place when he was renting while out here during Mardi Gras.
Would be be able to get a Visa with a record I wonder, know the Americans are funny about that not sure about here prob not looking back in history.:rofl:

Saw him in concert at Wembley about 2 yrs ago ish, brill concert, great atmosphere.
