BTW, priests have been charged with child molestation. As for Michael Jackson, don't you think its kind of weird how the first time he went to court because of child molestation, he paid off the young accuser? Seems a little shady to me. Maybe he was thinking if I paid off this kid, it'll all be forgotten about. Child molestation doesn't be forgotten about that easily whether he did it or not. What I can't understand is why would any parent, in their right mind, would let their child(ren) stay unsupervised at a man's house. I don't care what celebrity you are or you're not, I wouldn't let my child stay over night unsupervised. Secondly, why would any parent, again in their right mind, would let them stay in a house with a man who was brought to court on charges of child molestation? I hope for this child's sake that he wasn't molested by Michael Jackson.
Now that I've re-ready Raving Sultun's post, I can see he was being sarcastic. Sorry Raving, I didn't take it that way the first time. It just irks me that some people in power (business/entertainment or what have you) can get away with just about anything. Except for Martha Stewart, she done the crime and did the time.
From his own candid interviews with the press (a forum that he abuses to his supposed benefit) he behaves inappropriately with children. If he wants to be kind to children then he should either donate time and connection to causes (like Jerry's Kids) and he should at ALL TIMES be monitored. This is not a person who should under circumstances be in the company of minors without adult supervision. Whether he actually does anything nasty to minors, it is clear that he has an emotional or sexual need to be around them. I don't think more needs to be said about this.
Personally, Jackson has always made me uncomfortable, even before he became an ugly white woman. I don't understand him, I don't have any real concern about him. I would feel bad about him if he didn't do it, but you'd think, after the first trial, that parents would want to keep their kids away from him. The little guy that's accusing him wasn't some orphan off the streets of Mexico -- this was a kid with a family, if I'm not mistaken. I would think that, if I were this kid's parent, my brain would be flashing a big red "WARNING" sign. There's absolutely no reason for a 40ish year old man to be inviting young children over to his home. The parents should've known this. I think there's more to this story than we know. But that's just my opinion. Then again, I don't have a television, so I'm only going by what I've read in the paper. :S
I just heard a jail in So Cal is preparing a cell for him. Some of the other people on his Cell Block will be Sirhan Sirhan and Charlie Manson. I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP! These are some of the people in the "protective custody" ward at the prison.
I don't know if he did it. If he did, no sentence is too cruel for him and the likes of him. Child rapists deserve hope nor happiness. EDIT: rape for me including bribe, drugging and getting drunk to gain consent.
Innocent or not, nevermind 'do you feel sorry for him?' Do we feel sorry for those kids??? I know, IF, he did indeed do it. But just think for a minute about this. Micheal is getting all kinds of support, (as of course he deserves IF he truely is innocent) 100's of 1000's of fans ect all singing from the roof tops that they believe him to be innocent. Just for one minute think about IF he did do it, and of course it is 'if' because we do not know he's innocent, nor do we know he's guilty, but if he did do all he's accused of, what must this be doing to those kids this being such a festival of maddness and SO public??? I personally think he IS very guilty of behaving totally inapropriately for sure! And that in my opinion does require some sort of official punishment/put on a register/custodial sentance or something like that. NOT a fine though, that would indeed make NO inpact on his life with the sheer amount of money he has. Is he guilty of the full charges made agaist him though? I don't know. I pray for the sake of those children that he is not guilty of all of this. Ps. what I find utterly, genuinely SICK, is do you know since he was formally charged with child molestation his record sales has GONE UP!! Even if his is not guilty, is that not still sick that a serious charge such as child sex abuse has ENHANCED his career??? That is wrong.
Michael is innocent. Plain and simple. Anyone and everyone (and I am not exaggerating) who thinks he is guilty knows nothing about the case. If anyone thinks he's guilty here, i could kick their ass in a debate on the topic. It's quite sad that everyone knows so little about the case, b-cuz when he was acquitted, everyone will be screaming "He's just like Oj! He got off cuz he's rich!!!" Pay attention to the news everyone, and see what's really going on. If you' did, you'd know the mother has lied to the police, to the press, to Michael, and on and on. You'd know that the timeline makes no sense, and that there is no physichal evidence to back up the boy's claims. You'd also know that every witness whom has testified of so far, has been decimated under cross. You'd also know that this boy himself was not in a weak stae when he was at Neverland, he was healed of his cancer and in good condition. He is in ROTC, has gotten many fights at school, and has a record of stealing, vandalism, and arguing with teachers. This isn't some wimpy kid, this is a kid who who punch you in the fae if you tried to fonddle him. Excuse my language but uh, where in the fuck did you get that story????? Honestly??? The National Enquirer????? Why did you say he twisted around? Why not just say his bladder exploded in the middle of court and everyone stared at him? Peace!
I think they should throw him away and lock up the key. How many times do we have to go through this ? I also think the world has grown tired of MJ. His piss-poor album sales prove that.
Yes I would let him baby sit my kids. I'm not gonna argue with you cuz I came to this place to enjoy it and not argue about Mikes Inoocence which is an argument I would win. Oh and piss poor album sales? What would those be??? America doesn't want to admit it, but he's still at the top. His 2001 "Invincible" sold 8 million copies, and so did Usher's "Confessions". Now withch album was praised as a success and which album was a complete bomb? Mikes album of course was a "bomb" cuz he's been there done that, and being the worlds highest selling artist with 173 million albums sold. Nuff said. If you wanna act like your 3 and carry on about garbage with no real meaning to what you say with no evidence to back up your statements then have fun. I'm out!
That's BS. When was the last time he toured ? Last time one of his albums tore up the charts ? Why is he having money problems ? Face it, his career is washed up. No decent promoter will touch him ever again. And just wait until Sony gets tough about getting thier $20 million back from him that he borrowed to make "Invincible", which did not make it back. You would let him babysit your kids ? Argue with me again when you're old enough to know better. Now I'm out.
Oh wow? You wanna an arguement? I'll decomate you in one! He hasn't toured since 1999. He is a father and has to spend time with his kids. That's why he can't tour. By the way, his i997 tour was the most successful tour of all time. He made the $ back on Invincible smart ass. All of his albums have hit # 1 except his last album "Number Ones" hit #10. But what do youn expect when his house is raided the day it was released. Funny, th DA knew about this case for 2 months, yet happend to choose the day his album was released. Oh, by the way, if he was having money problem then why doesn't he sell hi Beatle catalouge? It's worth 500 million $. Oh and argue when I know better??? Sorry, but I'll beat you in an argument any day. Argue with me when you get your facts straight and you feel like actually saying something real, instead of just sitting here spewing dribble all over the place.
