Someone should be investigating THAT. And what the heck was he on during the interview in Berlin?? And why would anyone in their right mind allow all this to be taped and shown on TV? Never mind that last question -- it's self-explanatory.  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 02-07-2003 12:36 PM                     quote: Hoo boy this guy is insane! This special proves he's a child molester. Ken, I'd like to know exactly how the documentary "proves" this? All that Jackson’s admits in the documentary is that he has kids sleep in his bed while he sleeps on the floor. That's not molesting! It's a bit weird yes, but it's no crime.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 02-07-2003 01:05 PM                       quote: Learn from an expert: "Bushspeak" and "Bushisms"... Oops, sounds like somebody touched a nerve. I tried to watch the Michael Jackson show, but I'm sorry, I couldn't stand looking at him for more than a few minutes. He looks like somebody who's been in a fire. Greg, I thought the same thing about the "Planet" resemblance. Not to be cruel, but he just is; after all, nobody forced him to alter his face/features. It's ultimate vanity gone horribly wrong. Further, anyone else who had children that weren't his own, routinely sleep in his bed -- even with him in the same room -- would be investigated by child protective services. It's not normal. As others have said, I can't fathom any parent allowing their child to stay over with a warped, middle-aged man...  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 02-07-2003 01:11 PM                        John has given away one of my sites for political jokes.

However, the goal was eventually achieved and then some. I tried to watch some of the interview with Michael Jackson. Yes, he's creepy, but I'm thinking that it is kind of sad too. His life is essentially over at the age of 44. May he rest in peace.

It seems these days that even if you're pushing a kid on a swing, people are looking at you funny. Just another plot by the media to make everyone afraid that any living breathing soul could be a child molester and is just waiting in the shadows to swoop down on their little booger-eater. quote: This special proves he's a child molester.

Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 02-07-2003 09:08 PM                     Michael Jackson is a child. He said so himself and the teenage boy reiterated it later in the program. Those children are sleeping over at his house in much the same way as they would sleep over at another child's house. The only difference here is that Jackson is a 44 year-old man. Seriously, though, I am not convinced that Jackson is sexually abusing other people's children. I am more concerned about the future of "his" kids who are paraded around wearing masks and getting mobbed by papparazzi. (Does anybody else doubt that those are his kids at all?) Here's the thing: If Jackson would have us believe that he is "Peter Pan" then those kids should be taken away from him. A child should not be trusted to care for and mold another child. The journalist stated in an interview later that same evening (Thursday) that he was concerned about the impressionable underprivileged children who sometimes are invited to stay overnight at Neverland Ranch with MJ -- a multimillionaire, superstar entertainer and celebrity. He points out that Jackson's estate is so heavily guarded, and so large, that Jackson is essentially "a law unto himself" and, while he did not witness any abuse, he does not feel comfortable with the possibility that MJ's behavior could differ when there are no cameras or witnesses around. A good question asked by another reporter: How did MJ think he would benefit from these interviews?  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 02-07-2003 09:26 PM                     The documentary on the "King of Pop" was interesting, but I don't think it showed anything surprisingly new. Anyone could draw the same conclusions by all sorts of previous events. In some respects, I'm appalled at the guy, particularly when he can walk into a store and spend $6 million like it is nothing or when he doesn't seem to be aware of his kids being caught in a crush of paparazzi because he is too busy soaking it up for himself. In other ways, I feel sorry for Micheal Jackson. This is a fellow who has very obviously been so extremely isolated from the general public that he has never been able to mature into a properly functional adult. That, combined with his own lack of a healthy childhood, is a recipe for disaster. He cannot come to terms with accepting reality and his responsibility as an adult. The guy seems very alone in the world and unable to do anything positive about it through obvious lack of developed social skills. I don't believe Jackson is a child molester. I doubt if he is gay either (another popular slam against the guy). His acts of surrounding himself with children and acting like a child seem like a method of escape. There is no escape from growing older or seeing a music career dwindle down to a faint memory. My concern is that Jackson will not take the next few years very well. He may even wind up killing himself.  |  IP: Logged
