I don't care: A Michael Jackson Rant

[gone 4 ever 6]

How do YOU feel about Lil Kim? Snoop Dogg? Jon&Kate Plus 8, Paris Hilton...etc? Do you really have respect for all the people in media, and NEVER say anything bad about them?

If that's the case, then why are you bashing US? The MJ haters? In your world, it's really okay to attack folks on a message board, but not complain about celebs?

Touche' Glou! Point.... Win!

Bottom line is there is no middle ground here. Either you love him or you hate him! Same way with Obama..lol! (nope not opening another can of worms...I am just sayin it is the same for both..)

lol - 100% agree! Thus the reason why there isn't a thread on here titled, "Michael - who?".

Also the reason why I didn't post my feelings in the other thread. They love him. I don't. Why is it such an issue?

:crying:

:thumbup:

What I understand less is why those who are offended by what is being said here CHOOSE to come here and be offended??? MOVE ALONG!! :crying:

Good question for which I don't have an answer. I don't believe that we have to get all bent out of shape over varing opinions on a particular subject. None of us posting here that I am aware of knew Michael Jackson personally. Was he a large part of my growing up years..yes...do I feel a connection to him through his music..yes...but that is all.

I happen to like his music and the fact he as an awesome entertainer (MHO). What saddens me is over the years to watch his decline from what he was in the 70-early 90's to what he was in the last decade of his life. No one really tried to intervene and help...all he was and to this day still is...a cash cow..again my opinion only.

As far as the sexual molestation...no one in the public really knows for sure..will we ever with 100% certainty.. probably not. All I can say is this..if it is true then he has to answer for it and if it is not then the ones who falsely accused him have to answer for it (If you believe in God..which I do).

I will say that it did appear that something happened..but again that is my opinion.

So for the people who think he was guilty of molestation, what do you think about one of the boys now saying that it didn't happen? Just wondering.

i'm thinking i sure hope he didn't spend all his payoff money in one place. if i were the estate, i would be going after those funds.

If the boys are saying now nothing happened then I think there needs to be some type of investigation of the parents.

Not sure if it is proven to have been a scam to get money if there can be any legal ramifications or not.

Bottom line is if it happened then it runied two boys lives...if it didn't then the two boys and their parents ruined Michael Jacksons life. Either way it is sad.

I don't know what happened..I do think that it is strange that only two out of hundreds came forward to say that they were molested. One would think that there would have been more if he was doing that..again..MHO..for which I am sure some will disagree.

i still find it strange a grown man felt it appropriate to share his bed w/children that wasn't his own.

whether something happened or not - he sure set himself up for impropriety to be inferred.....and if your livlihood is your reputation, like his drug addiction - maybe no one could have helped him & his infatuation w/small kids......

I agree. It seems to me that there would have been more to come forward.

I don't disagree with you that it was strange. The point that I am trying to make is some of his family (Jermaine) is saying that he has always had Michael's back and been his mouth piece..well dude where where you when he started to spiral down hill? Drugs do crazy things to people..things that in their right minds they would not normally do. (I know this from family members that were addicted to Meth)

I am not saying nothing happened..I don't know for sure....all I am saying is I am just surprised there was not more that came forward when all of it broke.

sitting back & keeping quiet about ALL addictions.

why - in MO, because if he tried to help or get help for michael he would have been cut off fiancially. MJ supported way too many people that had a vested interest in keeping quiet on many issues, not just drugs.

You may be right on that! I really don't believe we will ever know the real truth about any of it for the simple fact of $$.

It is just sad to me that the people in his life cared more about the $$ than they did about him.

In my world...seagulls wouldn't have voice boxes and Crows would sleep in on the weekends! lol. I enjoy hearing both sides of this arguement...sometimes it pisses me off, but a lot of times it just makes me laugh :smile2:

I think maybe he didn't want to be known as the dude that got sodomized by MJ. It'd be easier for me to say to the world that nothing REALLY happened than for me to admit I was raped because my parents thought it would be ok for their pre-adolescent son to have a slumber party with a grown man that had a questionable history. Just my thoughts.

On another note, it makes me laugh that this thread is still going.
