Castrated man will move to San Jose after hospital release (Serial child molester alert)

There is simply no evidence that castration "cures" a sick freak of this type.

But castration does preserve a youthful singing voice. Ask Michael Jackson.

So how did he get that kid he almost dropped off the balcony in Paris? Was he the birth-MOTHER?

[Reeses]

Maybe from frozen samples from 25 years ago or a donor. I couldn't find pictures of his babies but I think he has 2 children and they don't look like him.

I read somewhere that castration of talented singers was done in Italy hundreds of years ago. If a choir boy had a promising career he was castrated to preserve his voice. It would explain MJ's bizarre life.

It is an myth that castration will prevent a person from having sex -- even normal intercourse.

Castration (by removal of the tescicles) does not prevent a male from having an erection, achieving penetration and/or orgasm. Any farmer will tell you that. The castrati of middle-ages opera fame were notorious lovers of both men and women.

[Illbay]

Oh, that about the castrati is completely true.

The last castrato died in the early 1900s. The description of his singing was that it was "unearthly beautiful."

IMO, Jackson's voice is no weirder than, say, Smokey Robinson's or Little Richard's.

MJ's speaking voice as I've heard him is soft and high pitched, is boy-like and unlike his 4 older brothers who all have deep masculine voices. His lack of natural facial hair, his androgynous body, his castrati-like squeals in his songs, all point towards castration. We know MJ's father was abusive and controlling. After 4 of the Jackson 5 lost their singing voices to puberty he possibly arranged a surgery to save the family business. MJ was once sued for paternity but the judge threw out the case after a non-public conference with his lawyer. I can imagine what the lawyer said. No DNA testing was necessary. His ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley described MJ as boyish and not much in the bedroom. And MJ fancies spending time with young boys, getting him sued for millions for alleged deviant behavior.

In my opinion MJ is proof that castration makes for bizarre behavior. It is not a solution for sexual deviancy and if anything would make things worse. Blaming an inanimate object for bad behavior is the same flawed thinking of blaming a gun for murder. We shouldn't even try turning sexual deviants into MJ types so we can let them out of jail.
