Oh the mystery of "The King of Pop!" The verdict is in & will be revealed at 4PM. Don't you know that Michael is nerveous, because his life is hanging in the balance. I know that I'm nerveous and it has nothing to do with me, except I've admired his talents, just not his life-style. I started this thread, thinking that some would like to share their feelings here about it. Oh well, the world shall soon know. As Texan just shared, this could be Micheal final walk in freedom, as he walks into the courthouse holding him umbrella. One thing about it, there won't be an umbrella needed in prison...ouch.

Innocent - I doubted it would be any different. There was evidence against him, but there was that reasonable doubt.

Time to post my two cents i guess. I am a fan of the Jackson 5, when he was in the group with his brothers, i like many of their songs, but as a solo artist, i dont hardly like any. Anyway, I think Michael Jackson is innocent, he loves children too much to do something like that, and i dont think people should be so quick to judge him because of his behavior, nobody has the right to judge anyone. Plus, why would he want to hurt children when he gives them so much money in charities, I think this boils down to MJ being alone, and wanting to be around someone and he picks children cause they love you unconditionally, look how adults are these days, children are more excepting, i do agree that he needs to change his life style but saying that he is a sick child molester is going a little too far, nobody ever witnessed him actually doing the crime, also i think that his childhood influences his behavior, his dad used to beat him, he was always performing and so he never really got the chance to be a normal kid, and i think he just wants to recapture that. But everyone has their own opinion and i do agree with most of the posts, but thats just my two cents, ps, no offense to anyone:) please dont be angry.:)

correction: children are more accepting! sorry!:)

His love of children isnt the problem..its the obssession he has with them,and allowing little boys to sleep in his bed with him. That crosses the line of just having love for children and that is not normal. :)

He might want to recapture his childhood but the fact is, he cant. He is an adult, and needs to act like one.

Why would anyone be angry for you having your opinion? :) We all have them, and I respect each every one, whether I agree with them or not. :)

Well Michael's lawyer came with the statement he will no longer share his bed with boys. Alrighty then, all mothers of sleuth....you can relax a bit more in questioning your sons as to where they are having a sleep over.

However, I found an excellent new friend for Michael Jackson.

Can you imagine having a co-worker like that?

Oh dear GOD!?!?! What's with the craaaaaaazy music!?

Jun-14-2005 16:06

Yea he is kinda obsessed, but the fact still remains that we cant judge him, what if we were to be accused of something like that, and you were declared innocent, would you want others judging you and calling you a sick child molester and such? Nobody knows what the truth is besides MJ and the boys. The verdict was not guilty, and we will just have to accept that verdict. I mean, its kinda disrespectful to call him names like that. He is a human with feelings like the rest of us, and i also respect everyone's opinions, and this is an issue that is gonna have a lot of them. Lol, this thread may never end!:)

The point is, he is an adult, and in everything he does he should use his own judgement. And children in their innocence don't know when an adult crosses the line. I don't know if he is child molester or not, but I think that is a different topic then wheter or not his music is good. What also doesn't matter is how much money he donates to charity. Some people that work in the business of charity, go out back to abuse the little choir boys as well.

The thing is, we will never know. Because we weren't there. However, I think I can be the judge in terms of stuff Michael said in an interview himself. Stuff that came out of his mouth. And personally, I find that already messed up all by itself, child mollester or not.

I admit, I have been to a Michael Jackson concert. I even was near the stage. But if Michael would have invited me to sleep in his bed....I would have gladly declined. Even though I was 14.

If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, its a duck. In other words, if someone molests a child, then thats what I call them...a child molester. Something is pretty fishy to me, when an adult shares a bed with a child (or children).

He may have been found not guilty, but when someone has alot of money, like him, they can usually get away with doing anything. Money has alot of power.

I also agree with Jstkdn..just because he donates to charity having to do with children, does not mean he is some decent human being.

I wasn't there, so no, I really dont know what went on, as noone does other than him and them children but judging from his enjoyment of having children in his bed....it doesn't look too innocent to me.

He said in one statement ,that if he couldn't have anything to do with children again, he would kill himself. I don't think its because he loves them so dearly, I think it is because he wouldnt be able to feed his sick infatuation with them.

He is a very talented musician...but, that is about all I have nice to say about him. :)
