    the thing about MJ is i can see both sides of the story.

    first he spent most of hhis childhood being exploited and performing. being teased about his appearance and such. he was more or less robbed of his childhood and i think always sought to be a big kid.

    my thing is i don't know what to think. i understand there are people out there that would set up their kids in order to score a payday.

    i understand there are sexual predators out there who molest children and some don't get free passes for being famous.

    if the truth ever came out and you told me MJ was 100% guilty and without a doubt he touched little boys, i'd believe you.

    if the truth came out and you told me he was 100% innocent and just had a messed up childhood and was basically living a life where he was reverting to being a child and all his interactions with kids are innocent. i'd believe you.

    i understand his past might create some weird behavior, i also understand if if looks like a duck and quacks like a duck...


    people don't remember the racist drug taking fat dead on the toilet elvis. they remember skinny jailhouse rock elvis.

    years from now most people who want to remember MJ fondly will do so as glitter glove wearing moonwalking still black michael, not the pale freakish wacko jacko baby dangling interview in a tree MJ.

    shamon.

    wow you almost sound like you were there. You want to confess:wave:

    seriously what if someone accused you of something and you knew you were innocent but public perception convicted you beforehand?

    Not to say Mike is innocent. I think there is enough smoke there to become a fire myself.

    no i would not, but that helps me prove my point. so we are going to trust parents who have been caught in fraud, and that send their kids to michael jackson's house, knowing he was accused of child molestation in 93 (even though the kid admitted he lied) the kid described MJ's penis. Was there some sort of schlong line up? Did he identify the schlong with other schlongs present? He described it, wow, im sure it was real tough to do that. Im not trying to change anyone's mind all im trying to say, is none of us know what really happened, you may think you know, but you really dont.

    I agree.

    I think Jackson was taken advantage of by some parents looking for a payday. Who in their right mind would let their child sleep over at Neverland after the 93 stories came out?

    I don't know what went on in that bedroom, so I will withhold my judgement beyond stating that he was a strange dude with a warped sense of reality.

    I choose to remember the awesome entertainer, the great pop music, and the moonwalk.

    Not saying the dude wasnt strange..he was.

    Not saying that everything he did is understandable because of his ****ed up childhood.....cause it aint.

    But if each and every one of us was accussed of something and then through the legal process that we have was found innocent you would want everyone to accept that ruling and let you live your life.


    I dont know anymore then that as fact.

    We can all guess as to what happened and the reason for it happening.

    The boy with cancer that was the one from 93 that he settled out of court with wasnt it?

    If so WHAT IF this was the events that happened......

    The bills from the cancer treatment is piling up so the parents come up with the plan to frame Micheal. So now he has been accused of the acts..he talks with the family and the reason behind it comes out that they are in need of money for medical bills. Jackson gives them the money in the form of the settlement as a way of helping them family. And the reason he cant just come out and tell the truth about the matter is because from that point on he would have people trying to blackmail him for the rest of his life.

    Did that happen hell if I know but anything is possible.

    There are only 2 facts in the whole kiddie thing....He settled out of court after being accussed....He was found innocent by a jury on the other accusations.


    I will remember him as a great contributor to the music scene while I was growing up but whos star fell from the sky long before he drew his final breathe.

    And the only place I would let my kids stay the night at is with close family or one of their friends AFTER I have met with their parents.

    When you are a billionaire who retains the best attorneys in California and you write a $13 million check to settle out of court with a juvenile . . . it ain't because you are innocent.

    He didn't build Neverland to attract adult companions.
