b16a2 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I am not a parent myself, but I can imagine the bond that one has with a son or daughter. If someone genuinely believed that their son or daughter had been molested, an out of court settlement would not suffice to get justice. The allegations were brought by parasites who wanted a portion of his fortune. Michael was acquitted by a jury who was under the pressure of stereotypical media coverage, and were probably also parents themselves. As a someone who has studied law, I have had first hand experience of people who have been affected by paedophiles. Even if people haven't been directly affected, it is quite possibly the one type of person that human nature resents. A jury would not have acquitted him if there was any shade of evidence showing he had acted inappropriately with children. The media ruined this man. The Martin Bashir documentary was heavily biased and once Michael released the unedited frames, it showed the real context of some of his comments. Stories such as him sleeping in a air tight container are all fabrications by employees of coroporate media companies who have nothing better to do than make money out of selling rubbish. He got in there for a laugh, and they construed his comments completely out of context to portray him as a strange person. I choose to form my views from articles published by people who have nothing to gain from Michael's wealth. Reputable people who knew him well, Diana Ross, Uri Gellar, Quincy Jones....they all stated what a genuine and sincere man he was. It is a dangerous thing to form your opinions based on media coverage by companies that thrive on placing someone on a pedastal and then finding anything they can to bring them down. That's what the media does, if they didn't, they wouldn't make money. They fabricate STORIES. They don't report facts, they report news. The media has now done a complete 360, reporting what a terrible tragedy his death is and how talented he was. If anything has made me realise just what a fickle place the world can be, then the death of Michael Jackson is that catalyst to my realisation.

JoJo35 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Geezus, I can't believe the arguments I'm reading here. The guy was a pervert, plain and simple, and most likely a child molester. F him! To say how wonderful the guy was because he had talent is utterly ridiculous considering what eventually came to light considering this man. What goes around comes around, and it certainly doesn't look like karma was on his side. Like they say, pay-back is a [censored]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perry563 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Again Im no great fan. There was no proof that he molested anyone. WHY is anyone in the mindset of labeling a person with the worst possible human trait when no evidence exists that he indeed was a pedofile?

andreww Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 @b16a2, actually it's been fairly well documented that it was actually MJ who provided the enquirer with the story and pics of the hyperbolic chamber. He actually went out of his way to promote his bizarre behavior. @ the previous poster- it's always hard to prove molestation charges, but the accusations that Jackson fed the kids wine and had them view porno mags was prooved via fingerprint evidence. If that info doesn't make you think twice about this guy, then I don't know what will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Btw, another MJ quirk that irked me to no end. He often complained about his privacy and that he was hounded by the press and fans. But, it was actually MJ & Co. that were feeding the press and fan clubs the details of his every move. Also, to get michael to appear on an award show, he had to be guaranteed of an award. If he didn't win any of the categories, a new honor was dreamed up to appease him. Artist of the millenium? Sounds more like a guy with major ego issues if you ask me. This guy has always been manipulating people through the press. After the molestation charge, he immediately married Lisa Marie, what was that about? These are the kinds of things that make me like the whole man-child excuse for his fascination with young boys is just another croc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipSlap Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Apparently it wasn't a heart attack he died of, it was food poisoning from eating 12 year old nuts. Hahahahaha. True dat. My question is: When will these pinhead celebrities realize that you must respect prescription drugs? Anna Nicole, Heath Ledger, Danny Gans, likely MJ.

He actually went out of his way to promote his bizarre behavior. But this proves my point completely......different sources, different slants on what happened. Anyway, I'm not looking to preach and convert people here, I just wanted to put forward my opinions.....basically that the media industry really annoys me Hopefully we can all come together as one and agree that for the music and entertainment industry, this is a sad day, and we have lost a unique talent who revolutionised how people perceive entertainment.

You are just judging him because he was a penniless pedophiilic and closeted pill-addicted trans-racial-sexual with narcissistic body-dysmorphic disorder that just happened to have a penchant for buying the remains of severely disfigured individuals, lonely monkeys and carnival rides. Now, is that any reason to judge anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slay Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 50 is pretty young to die these days... was it drugs? He was a weirdo and potentially a pedophile too... but he was also very sick man (mentally). But then again celebrities' lives aren't any more worthwile than others... they [censored] between two legs like the rest of us. RIP anyway. I feel sorry for his kid and family. But people die... life goes on. Could not have said it better! Full Ack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milsub5517 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Lou Ferrigno, the star of TV's "Incredible Hulk" who was helping Jackson train for a planned concert tour, said Jackson didn't look like he was in pain the last time they met. "He might have been a little thin because he was under a lot of stress because of the tour," Ferrigno said on "Good Morning America." But he said he believed Jackson would have made it through his concert tour. He said Jackson was a vegetarian who ate only one meal a day. I looked up into this and looks like this is true, actually he could have been a vegan (100% no animal products). Also, Aristotle, Einstein, Lincoln (apparently grew his own weed as well), Brad Pitt (lol) were/are vegetarians. link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Also, Aristotle, Einstein, Lincoln (apparently grew his own weed as well), Brad Pitt (lol) were/are vegetarians. Yeah, and look what being vegetarian got 'em ... they're all dead too. Oh, except for Brad Pitt. Angelina just wants him dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
