As for his stardom rising higher, most likely that will be the case as we tend to focus more on the good things about a person after they pass rather than their bad behaviors. Especially if they denied those bad behaviors were real as MJ always did.
“What planet does the author of this pap live on?”
Apparently the same planet I do and I appreciate FINALLY reading something sane about Michael Jackson. Not a single one of us has first-hand knowledge, yet for an on-line community who despises the MSM, most here have swallowed their hate-filled lies and garbage about MJ, hook, line and sinker.
May he FINALLY be at peace.
Really? I have three sons. I would have had no qualms about allowing them to visit Neverland. None.
Or maybe they were just out for the money. I can tell you that I would never settle for money. If one of my children were molested/raped, I’d prosecute to the end. Still, I understand what you are saying about not wanting to put their kid through a lengthy trial...on the other hand then, why can’t the same be said for MJ...that he too did not want to go through a lengthy trial while booked on tour...he stated that was his reason, that he had the money, had had enough of being slimmed and paid for it to go away, knowing that money’s all they wanted anyway.
I also hope he RIP. Can you explain what “Lies” you’re taking about? We do have first hand knowledge of the large payoff he gave the kid’s family who he molested to keep them out of court. That is public record!!
MJ admitted he slept with young kids. Do you see anything wrong with that?
“We do have first hand knowledge of the large payoff he gave the kid’s family who he molested to keep them out of court. That is public record!!”
Now see, you just did it again. Yes, it is public record that he settled out of court. It is not public record that he “gave a large payoff to the kid’s family who he molested”. He denies it, there was no trial, so how can you flatly state for a fact that he was molested?
The more proper way to put it would be who he “allegedly” molested, to be fair.
Exactly
If you were not guilty, would you give someone 20 million to go away? We can agree to disagree.
You know who I really blame? The parents of these kids that allowed their kids to sleep over at MJ’s place. And you can’t argue there were a lot of them.
Lots of people had abusive parents, and they didn’t turn into freaks.
&&&
Right. And they usually don’t have oodles of money with which to buy the best mental health services.
It could be that Jackson would rather have had half the world suspecting that he was a pedophile, than all the world to KNOW that he was a eunuch, castrated, neutered, sans balls. Like a fixed male cat. It's a possibility, you know, and it makes sense.
I've often wondered over the years if Michael Jackson was "nipped," as in castrated, whether by knife or drugs and by whom, who knows ... as a youth in order to keep his high voice. It certainly was done in the Middle Ages.
If that were so, he would have no sexual drive for anything, not homosexual, not pedophilic, not heterosexual, not kinky, no "rise" physically or sexually. He wouldn't have molested himself, let alone kids ... no desire, nothing to molest.
And IF word were to get out that he was indeed a eunuch, it would have ruined his career and his soul more than accusations of pedophilia could ever have done. How could girls swoon over a man with no balls crooning love songs? Even though they did over the flaming queen Boy George, at least BG had testicles. If MJ didn't and he had to PROVE it in order to clear himself of child molestation charges ...
... I think extortion was behind the child molestation charges, and nothing more. Michael was damned weird, but I don't think he was evil.
Is this just because he is famous, or would you allow your three boys to spend the night with any strange man?
I believe he was a eunuch too. It would explain a lot of stuff. It might even explain what gave him the desire to butcher his face with all that surgery.
I see it as no different than when my sons went to boyscout camp and slept in a tent with their scout leader.
The lies I refer to are the claims, still, that MJ was a pedophile, by those with no first-hand knowledge. It’s what people choose to believe based on media stories.
See my post above.
I never believed the accusations. Since we have no first-hand knowledge, what we believe is what we choose to believe.
So you didn’t answer my question: you said you would have no problem allowing your sons to sleep at Neverland Ranch, presumably with Michael since you never believed the accusations. I asked if this was just because he was rich, or would you allow them to sleep with any 45 year old man who had been previously accused of molesting, even if not taken to court?
I believe I saw a movie once about what children go through to train for the Chinese Circus (in a word...BRUTAL).
Was this movie about Jackie Chan?
Yeah that really does not make sense why the so-called ‘king of pop’ did not want his kids to have his musical genes.
Definitely adds believability to the eunuch theory.
But even if you believe that, it does not explain why he wouldn’t get black sperm so he could show his proud heritage. He bought 3 white children.
